Dancing on Wood: The Story Behind the Floors of Devil May Care, Austin’s Premier Nightspot
Austin, Texas—a city known for its vibrant nightlife, eclectic music scene, and rich history. Tucked away in the heart of downtown is a place that embodies the spirit of Austin like no other: Devil May Care. This bar and nightclub isn’t just another spot to grab a drink and dance the night away; it’s a cornerstone of the city’s nightlife, a place where world-renowned DJs spin tunes, and the ambiance draws you in from the moment you step inside. But beyond the beats and cocktails lies something even more fundamental to the Devil May Care experience: the floors.
Yes, the floors. These aren’t just any floors. They’re custom-made white oak engineered hardwood floors from Hardwood Bargains, designed to be as unforgettable as the nights spent dancing on them. Let’s take a closer look at how these floors came to be, why they’re the perfect choice for a place like Devil May Care, and why other commercial projects should take note.
The Vision Behind the Floors
The builders of The Independent wanted to ensure that every aspect of their residences reflected the building’s innovative spirit and commitment to quality. To achieve this, they partnered with Hardwood Bargains, a company renowned for its expertise in creating high-quality hardwood floors. The goal was clear: to develop a floor with custom construction, color, finish, and texture that would be unique to The Independent.
A Foundation for Unforgettable Nights
When you think of a nightclub, your mind might first go to the music, the lights, or the drinks. But imagine walking into a place where the very floor beneath you seems to pulse with the energy of the night. That’s the magic of Devil May Care, and it all starts with the floors.
The team at Devil May Care knew they needed something special—something that could handle the wear and tear of countless nights of dancing while still looking as stunning as the day it was installed. They turned to Hardwood Bargains for a solution, and together, they created a floor that’s more than just a surface to walk on. It’s a work of art, crafted with care, designed to last, and infused with a bit of Austin’s soul.
The Craftsmanship Behind the Beauty
At Hardwood Bargains, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, especially not for a place as unique as Devil May Care. Our approach is all about creating something custom, something that fits perfectly with the space it’s meant for.
For Devil May Care, that meant designing a floor with a genuine hardwood surface layer that’s as durable as it is beautiful. The white oak used in these floors is known for its strength and natural beauty, but we didn’t stop there. Each plank was crafted to have a unique texture and finish, creating a look that’s both timeless and contemporary—just like the bar itself.
The color of the floors was carefully chosen to complement the dark, moody ambiance of the club. It’s a color that doesn’t just sit quietly in the background but adds to the overall vibe of the space. Whether you’re standing at the bar, lounging in a booth, or dancing in the main room, the floor’s subtle sheen catches the light in all the right ways, adding a layer of sophistication to the night.
Designed for Durability
Nightclubs are high-traffic environments. Thousands of feet pass over these floors every night, and they need to be able to withstand that kind of use without showing signs of wear. That’s why the floors at Devil May Care are more than just beautiful—they’re incredibly tough.
Each plank is strengthened with a UV-protected acrylic coat, a fortified core, and avant-garde locking systems. This combination makes the floors three times as tough as standard hardwood, which is exactly what’s needed in a place where the party never stops. Spills happen, and high heels leave their mark, but these floors were designed to take it all in stride, maintaining their elegance and integrity no matter what.
Nature’s Touch in the Heart of the City
One of the things that set Hardwood Bargains apart is our commitment to blending premium-quality, sustainable resources with cutting-edge design. The floors at Devil May Care are a perfect example of this philosophy in action.
Despite being engineered for durability, these floors never lose their connection to nature. The genuine hardwood surface layer showcases the natural grain and beauty of the wood, ensuring that every plank is as unique as the tree it came from. This connection to nature brings a warmth and authenticity to the space that’s hard to find in the concrete jungle of downtown Austin.
A Unique Experience for Every Guest
When you walk into Devil May Care, you’re not just stepping into another bar—you’re entering a space that’s been thoughtfully designed to offer a unique experience. The floors play a big part in that. Each plank was laid with care, creating a pattern that’s as dynamic as the energy in the room.
No two nights at Devil May Care are the same, and the same can be said for the floors. The natural variations in the wood grain ensure that every inch of the floor tells its own story. It’s a reminder that while the night might end, the memories made on these floors will last a lifetime.
