An Event & Performance Venue at the Baker School
ABOUT THE CAFETORIUM
Step back in time. Step forward into possibility.
Once the beating heart of Austin’s historic 1950s Baker School, The Cafetorium has been lovingly restored into one of the city’s most enchanting new event venues. With soaring ceilings, art-moderne lines, and sunlit windows The Cafetorium blends vintage character with modern versatility.
By day, it’s bright and inspiring: perfect for workshops, retreats, luncheons, and corporate off-sites. By night, it transforms into a dramatic stage for events, weddings, galas, performances, activations and milestone celebrations. Fully equipped and a blank canvas for extraordinary gatherings: from elegant soirées to nostalgic adult proms, creative activations, or immersive themed events.
Make History. Host Magic. Celebrate Boldly.
