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.
