Broken Spoke, Country music bar in Austin, United States
The Broken Spoke is a country music bar in Austin featuring a spacious dance floor where live performances happen regularly. The venue serves traditional Texas drinks and barbecue food in a rustic wooden setting.
James White established this bar in 1964 as a music venue. It became a significant location for launching the careers of both local and national country artists.
The walls display photographs and memorabilia from country music artists who have performed here over the decades. Visitors can trace the story of the local music scene through these collections hung throughout the space.
The bar is located in central Austin and is most active during evenings and weekends. Visitors should expect uneven flooring and loud music, especially when live bands perform.
The bar retains its original wooden interior from when it opened, giving the space its authentic character. Many now-famous country musicians started their careers on this stage before they became widely known.
