Austin Nightlife: Country Music
BROKEN SPOKE
The Broken Spoke is a genuine country dancehall—even
though it’s also a restaurant, with chicken-fried steak a big
item on the menu. The Broken Spoke is famous for being the spot
where Willie Nelson came to fame, and you’re likely to find
a cross section of Austinites here two-steppin’ and boot-scootin’
around the dance floor to the music of Don Walser or the Geezinslaws,
or even sometimes Jerry Jeff Walker.
- Location: 3201 S. Lamar Blvd., Austin (South)
DALLAS NIGHTCLUB
They say they’re “a two-step above
the rest.” For a quarter of a century, this nightclub has featured
country and contemporary tunes; they're known for the huge dance
floor and extensive sound and light system.
- Location: 7113 Burnet Rd., Austin (North)
DONN’S DEPOT
Styled like an old railroad depot, Donn’s is a favorite with
Austinites looking for the 6th Street atmosphere without the parking
hassles found in the busy entertainment district. The saloon includes
a live band and dancing nightly featuring Fifties tunes, country,
and easy listening.
- Location: 1600 West 5th St., Austin (Downtown)
