Broken Spoke
Live Music & Boot Scoot (l,d; $)
Approaching the nondescript, low-slung building that houses the Broken Spoke, and you won’t guess that you are sidling up to a venerable Austin legend.
Part dive bar, part honky-tonk, this place is the real deal.
The Broken Spoke has been hosting top-notch talent – Tex Ritter, Willie Nelson, George Strait and Jerry Jeff Walker, to name a few – for a long time and they’ve got the pictures on the wall to prove it.
Wash down a chicken fried steak or a burger with a Lone Star longneck before hitting the dance floor.
