History
In 2005 the first phase of remodeling began with the addition of big screen televisions, paint, new furniture, a new Rooftop Deck Bar and a 26' Jumbo Screen on the Rooftop Deck. Additionally, new artwork, which was acquired from a world renowned Austin artist, Robert Hurst adorns all of the walls. The vibrant colors of Hurst' art and the new decor compliment the high energy of the live music and vibe on the stages. The addition of The Gibson Room and Les Paul Lounge occurred in 2007. They occupy the 5,000 square feet adjacent to the Rooftop Deck on the second level of Maggie Mae's. Gibson is a sponsor of these rooms and has provided custom Gibson and Epiphone guitars, which are showcased on the walls. Guests will also find rare photographs taken by Eddie Kramer and a suite of Robert Hurst' paintings portraying iconic guitarist who play Gibson guitars. Bands enjoy playing in The Gibson Room with state-of-the art microphones provided by Sennheiser.
