Austin ChronicleFebruary 5, 2013We 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 CarlosFebruary 23, 2016IMPRESSIVE 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 BarnettJanuary 16, 2015For 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 ChapmanFebruary 8, 2018Come 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 LizetteAugust 24, 2021A 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
Michele DomenechJune 18, 2017Great local band, beer specials and free two step lessons. Highly recommend this small honkytonk.
Polina WeitzMay 21, 2023A 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.- 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.
Z FranklinDecember 31, 2015Always a good time. Great vibe, great music and good old fashioned two stepping.
Damian BayonaSeptember 8, 2017Order 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.- DellMarch 9, 2016A 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.
Allison AbbottOctober 12, 2015One 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.- Anna WeissDecember 12, 2014Tacos, live music all week, giant dance floor, pool tables, photo booth, and whiskey on tap. End the night here.
Oscar AparicioAugust 7, 2014They have Austin Eastciders Gold Top on tap. Second best cider I've ever had (Eastciders Original is the best, IMO).
stefan PittingerDecember 4, 2023Dive bar history and feel (good thing). Music was great even for a Sunday and after 830 the dance floor was packed with two steppers.
Eric LoveMarch 16, 2015Any out-of-towner has to come here for the ultimate Texas experience. Thanks for the review Supper:
Denis FigueroaDecember 1, 2015Truly good. Music for dancing. Good beers and it's great for groups. FREE POPCORN ☺️☺️
AnngeelalaMarch 14, 2013Wonderful and relaxing! Full volume dancing! So fun! Can't wait to visit again.
Great dancing, good drinks, & happening music every night of the week!
Lindsay D.December 23, 2015I 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).
- 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
Do512March 27, 2012Provides a great reason to pull out your cowboy boots and cowboy hats. Great music every day, so be ready to two-step!
Men's Health MagFebruary 4, 2015The 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
Leah JohnsonAugust 12, 20132nd Sunday each month hosts 50s-70s music/sock hop dance party. Free popcorn too!
JeffJanuary 26, 2013These guys need to do something about the wall of stink when you walk in! Especially if it's warm inside. Eew!
Christian LangballeMarch 17, 2018Ask a local the teach you the basics and you’ll be 2-stepping in no time.
Aasim SyedFebruary 3, 2012ask Lori, the bartender, for a drink called The Cougar Cry. you won't regret it.
N LurieJanuary 12, 2016Folks 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.
Divya MulanjurNovember 16, 2014Had such a great time dancing! And It's okay if you aren't a good dancer - no one is judging.
AmateurConciergeNovember 21, 2021That ATX honkey tonk vibe u seek….go here if you’re optimizing for hard drinking vs Broken Spoke if ur lookin to dance
