    What makes it fun

    The Broken Spoke is one of Texas' most definitive dance halls. It's not one of those trendy, here-today-gone-tomorrow spots you see springing up in some out-of-business lumber yard or feed store on every corner. Its reputation for great live country music and good Texas cooking is world renown! It is a favorite venue and hang-out for most of Austin's "real" country musicians.

    If you are looking for the authentic Austin experience, this is it. Legit honky Tonk, great bands and wonderful ambience. Highly recommended.

    Fun, typical Texan atmosphere to listen to good music and dance to Texan rhythms.

    An institution. So glad to have been able to visit Texas’ honky tonk capital. Grabbed a beer and whiskey at the bar, perused the memorabilia, and checked out the dance hall before the main event during my short stay in Austin.

    This place is an experience and a must go to if you are in Austin.The fact the establishment has been in business for the length of time is a success story in itself.The food is great and the staff very friendly and accommodating.Con: parking can be tight but you will figure it out or maybe get lucky and have a spot available in front.

    Had a lot of fun at this place!Went to see the incredible Dale Watson at Broken Spoke and it did not disappoint. The people were two-stepping away on the dance floor while the other clients were drinking cold beer and eating good food on the surrounding tables. The staff is lovely and the 'museum' section is fascinating. Highly recommend!

    Amazing and authentic Texas line dance bar. Super friendly staff and tasty beef on the menu. I went alone and immediately became friends with two Austin guys. The music is a little too polished for me but lucky me - they play both: Country & western music.
