In ShortRoom Service makes you want to put on some Louis Prima and smoke a cigarette with a cigarette holder. The elaborately decorated store contains pink and gold contour couches, fabulous light fixtures and lamps, and more than enough ashtrays to make it through the next millennium. Feast your nostalgic self on vintage dishware, kimono jackets and Elvis wall hangings, records, boots and, ahem, tacky religious icons. Vintage toys include metal lunchboxes, stuffed animals and dollies.

Insider Pages Reviews for Room Service Vintage
Room Service has a great variety of vintage merchandise - household items, furniture, knick-knacks, clothing, accessories and great costume pieces. The prices are great too -to me Room Service seems more affordable than other vintage stores of similar quality in Austin. My only complaint is that occasionally the furniture is not structurally sound.
PROS: selection, prices
CONS:

great deals on cool furniture and other stuff

Room Service is one of the coolest places to shop in Austin. Want something original? Want something totally wacky? Room Service is the place. THE place in town to get great sofas at great prices. Why get a boring sofa at a high price from one of those new places when you can get a cool sofa at a nice price? They also have the best selection of swag lights, housewares, and cool vintage clothing in town.

Fun Place to Look Around
by bingsy
Besides being a lot more reasonably priced than Congress street, Room Service is a lot more fun. The store looks great, and you can tell the people that set it up love the things they are displaying! It's also a lot more convenient and yet off the beaten path, in a cute little area in the heart of Austin. Look often, the store always has new stuff too. As long as you are in the area, go visit Donkey Music - a great little music store that I had never heard of until I saw it across from Room Service -and Hogwild - just to look at all the toys! Actually, don't forget to go to the Japanese store to the west of Hogwild too. They have Pocky and maneki-neko's.
Pros: fun place, great merchandise, reasonable prices
