We seriously dig this bar’s sticky-floor aesthetic and convivial vibes. The room is dark, the music is hot, the crowd is diverse, and friendly barkeeps keep the margaritas and the Two Steps flowing.

Jean Carlos

IMPRESSIVE selection of beers . I was so impressed when I saw that they had the BEST Dominican Beer : “Presidente”. Nice staff and very professional bartenders . Great live music . Love this place.

Daniel Barnett

For a good sample of the Austin nightlife featuring Basil Hayden on tap , live music and a live dance floor , go here. Then enjoy some amazing tacos at the truck right outside.

Josiah David Chapman

Come to see “Cory and the boys” Wednesday’s at midnight! Great show with open minded country vibes and a great bar staff with cheap drinks and lots of nice folks. Cowboy hat friendly ????

Avery Lizette

A kick ass time every time we go! You must take the two-step dance class with a legendary miss coffee . Live music every night is hard to beat, especially with the talent they bring it in

Polina Weitz

A fun dive bar . They have a rotating selection of beers (don't expect cocktails ), and live music with a vibrant dancing scene. No seating inside so be prepared to dance or take a seat outdoors.

Michele Domenech

Great local band , beer specials and free two step lessons. Highly recommend this small honkytonk.

Anna Weiss

Tacos , live music all week, giant dance floor , pool tables , photo booth , and whiskey on tap . End the night here.

Z Franklin

Always a good time. Great vibe, great music and good old fashioned two stepping.

Whitney Barnett

Best bar in Austin Texas hands down! Free music (tip the band) cheap drinks , great staff ,great dancing ,great regulars. Lots of booze and delicious bomb taco trailer in back.

Allison Abbott

One of the best bar experiences I've ever had! Dancing to live music was a blast, and such friendly people. Can't wait to come back.

Dell

A big dance floor and a brass band . Old-school cowboys and young hipsters . Get ready to two-step. Austin favorite Bomb Tacos has a trailer on the back patio .

stefan Pittinger

Dive bar history and feel (good thing). Music was great even for a Sunday and after 830 the dance floor was packed with two steppers.

Damian Bayona

Order a 2 Step for a shot of whiskey and a lone star for $5. Free 2 step class on Saturday evenings. And of course, live music .

Lindsay D.

I love this place! A great little dive bar where you're sure to find a dancing partner (even if he's 40 years older than you).

Anngeelala

Wonderful and relaxing! Full volume dancing ! So fun! Can't wait to visit again.

Denis Figueroa

Truly good. Music for dancing . Good beers and it's great for groups . FREE POPCORN ☺️☺️

Oscar Aparicio

They have Austin Eastciders Gold Top on tap . Second best cider I've ever had (Eastciders Original is the best, IMO).

Men's Health Mag

The heart of the city ’s gritty country rock scene, this honky tonk draws old cowboys and hip wannabes to its sprawling dance floor . Read more

Great dancing , good drinks, & happening music every night of the week!

Chad Schaefer

- it smells like puke when you walk in most of the time, because the hipsters who wander in for cheap drinks after spending their trust fund money on craft cocktails elsewhere can't hold their liquor

Do512

Provides a great reason to pull out your cowboy boots and cowboy hats. Great music every day, so be ready to two-step!

Chris Sweet

Exactly the type of live music I was looking for from Austin.

These guys need to do something about the wall of stink when you walk in! Especially if it's warm inside. Eew!

Michael Scissom

Best honky tonk in town !

Aaron Vincent

Loud and crowded venue. Usually a pretty good band on stage.

Texan style, dance teachers , lots of fun

Aasim Syed

ask Lori, the bartender , for a drink called The Cougar Cry. you won't regret it.

Divya Mulanjur

Had such a great time dancing ! And It's okay if you aren't a good dancer - no one is judging.

Trae F

Great music . Hipster heaven.

Brian Strauss

Loved the hipster meets honky tonk vibe .

N Lurie

Folks here were extremely rude when confronted with a sensitive situation. One of the bar tenders went on a power trip, and ruined my family's night. Bad attitude and unaccommodating.

Ali

Friday night Cajun dance lessons and music !

Social News Network

Don't be deterred by the bikers out front. They're friendly .

Kyle Bunch
