Honky-tonk dance hall |
3201 S Lamar Blvd Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 442 6189 http://www.brokenspokeaustintx... |
Broken Spoke is a western honky-tonk established in 1964 and rapidly became an Austin favorite for country-western dancing. The "Spoke" is true country in a real dance hall with a real wood-plank floor. Watch cowboys and locals two-step the night away to live bands from around Texas. This dance hall provides an excellent atmosphere for those just learning to two-step or die-hard country fans driving in from the ranch for the weekend. Practice the Polka, Texas Two-Step or the Chicken, and be sure to try the Cotton-Eyed Joe. There is also a restaurant that serves traditional country food like chicken fried steak.

 Roots-rock, Elvis tributes |
1315 S Congress Ave Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 441 2444 http://www.continentalclub.com/ |
This venue south of the river is a throwback to the 1950s. Roots-rock and country rule supreme in this bar where one can often find men in leather jackets and classic Cadillacs out front. With live music nightly, tributes to Elvis, and celebrations of Hank William's birthday, this place is great for dancing, drinking and kicking back on the high stools.Happy hours feature some of Austin's favorite songwriters. The venue has broadened its range of live music to include occasional indie rock. Review © 2007, Wcities |
