Plaza De Toros R3 is an open-air East Austin venue for festivals, concerts, and niche community events. General admission is standing-only, with visitors sometimes only a few feet from the stage or ring. A handful of pub tables and chairs sit within the rugged, exposed setting. Visitor reviews flag summer heat and parking as concerns around large events.

The Coliseum sits at 9111 Farm to Market Road 812, with Latin concerts and DJ-led sets spread across three dance floors. Crowds can fill the venue, and temperatures may rise at capacity, giving this stop a denser feel than the collection’s open-air stages. Its programming rotates, so confirm event details before going.
