Broken Spoke
A legendary country dance hall that opened in 1964, featuring live country bands and beginner two-step dance lessons.
The Broken Spoke is Austin's most authentic honky-tonk country dance hall. Its low wooden building is hung with cowboy hats and old photographs, and country singers such as Willie Nelson have performed here. Beginner two-step dance lessons are often held around 8 p.m., followed by a live band, and locals in cowboy boots dance in pairs. The front room serves chicken fried steak. Admission costs about 10 to 20 dollars. Closed on Sundays and Mondays.
