Best Dancehall in the World – Love the Broken Spoke. Doesn't get any realer then the Tuesday Hard Core Country show featuring Alvin Crow and James M White the Owner. Early show. Bring the family, have some dinner. You will be glad you did!!!!!

Best Honky-Tonk in Texas for 43 years!! – The Broken Spoke is a Texas Legend and an Austin Icon. The bad review I read that someone took time to write is baffling! I'm not sure why someone would take time to write something so awful about someone's business and livelihood! I have been told this person did not make any of the following comments to the waitresses that night so there was no way we could of tried to make this customer happier. You can't make everyone happy and some people are just bitter, ugly people. I would li... read more

Worst food anywhere in Austin, terrible music, sky high prices... but, nice waitress – YIKES!~ WHAT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Go someplace else, anywhere else, anywhere but the Broken spoke, please read my truthful review of this broken down ol' juke joint! I can't say enough bad things about the Broken Spoke, it's totally broke and the only joke is on those who patronize the place. #1. Food was terrible, unappealing, dried out, rank and just plain bad! 1 cheeseburger & coke, 1 BBQ plate (yuch!) and 1 dried out mini-chicken bre... read more

A legendary Texas dance hall that has hosted country music's finest. – In Short In a dance-hall-that-time-forgot manner, the Spoke sits virtually as it did in 1964. But these days, instead of Willie (who does actually still stop by), you're more apt to find flame carriers like Don Walser, Alvin Crow, Ed Burleson, Jeff Hughes and Chaparral, the Derailers, Dale Watson and the Geezinslaw Brothers filling the sizable ice rink-smooth dance floor. Once inside, visit the "tourist trap room," which features odd baubles from some of ... read more

I've always had a great time every time I've gone to the Broken Spoke. I love it that I can go have a drink, listen to the best country music entertainment in Austin and also enjoy a good hamburger and french fries or a plate of nachos! It's an authentic Texas dancehall with fun and friendly people in a fun and friendly environment. It's a great place to meet up with your friends and share a pitcher of beer. Be sure to check out the small country music museum off to the side of the bar, too!

Class By Itself – The Spoke has been a part of Austin nightlife for as long as I can remember. The quality of the food and entertainment has remained consistent through all of its years of existence. This is rare in any type of business, but particularly in the food and entertainment industry. There is not another that can touch it.
