The White Horse Inn

Every Austinite hosting out-of-town friends who’ve binged Friday Night Lights one too many times and want a traditional Texas kind of place to grab a Lone Star needs to take them here. The White Horse is our go-to pick for both visitors and locals who want a night out at a honky-tonk lively enough to get you in the boot-scootin’ spirit but chill enough you won’t be judged if you don’t pull up in a Chevy truck. The famous Wednesday nights at White Horse bring out some of the best bluegrass, country-western, and Americana bands around—not to mention, a slew of 10 gallon hat- and boot-clad dancers who won’t judge your terrible two-step. Even if you have two left feet, there’s still lots to enjoy besides whiskey shots at the bar, including pool tables, a photo-booth, and free popcorn to munch on while you take in the live tunes.
How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating.
