The Broken Spoke is a true honky tonk and dancehall with a rich history in country music. It is a great place for tourists and locals, with a very friendly staff and an amazing atmosphere. The venue features a dining room and a separate dancehall, often with multiple bands playing good old country and great dance music. On Saturday nights, they offer entertaining dance classes before the open dancing, where you can two-step and waltz all night. The food is some of the best in Austin, with highlights like country fried chicken, chicken fried steak, and yummy cheese fries. The beer is cold and the dance floor is famously packed. This historical building is a must-visit, with everyone agreeing you have to go at least once. Be prepared as it is cash only.
A true honky tonk / dancehall with some of the best food in Austin and a very friendly staff. Getting to eat chicken fried steak while sitting under Waylon and Willie's guitars is something truly special.
I'm sure Hank done it this way

favourite honkytonk/music bar I’ve ever been to, the atmosphere is amazing and all the staff could not be more friendly, will definitely return next time I’m in Austin. Music was great too.
