Mohawk is a major indie music venue in Austin, situated on Red River street, which is the second major artery of music venues in the downtown area. It is next door to Cheer Up Charlies and lies within shouting distance from Stubb's.  It does not look like a particularly large place from the outside, but that upper deck facing the stage helps them pack more people than one would expect. There is also a smaller indoors stage for smaller acts. It is a relatively new venue, established in 2006, but became a major spot in the city, and has been serving as one of the key venues during SXSW. They are not locked into any particular genre, but the place has very strong indie vibes, between the overall decor and the types of artists they typically book.
