The White Horse

Visiting The White Horse in Austin was such an incredible experience and easily one of the highlights of my trip. This spot truly captures the heart and soul of Texas nightlife. From the moment I walked in, the energy was contagious — a mix of locals and visitors all coming together to enjoy a good time. The atmosphere is effortlessly cool, laid-back yet full of life, making it the perfect place to spend a night out. The live country music is without a doubt the star of the show. The bands that play here are phenomenal, delivering authentic sounds that make you want to hit the dance floor immediately. Whether you’re an experienced two-stepper or just watching from the sidelines, it’s impossible not to get swept up in the rhythm and vibe of the crowd. On top of the music, the drinks were excellent. The bartenders know how to mix strong, tasty cocktails, and the beer selection is spot on for a night of dancing and hanging out. Prices are very reasonable too, which only adds to the charm. Overall, The White Horse is more than just a bar — it’s an experience. Great music, great drinks, and an atmosphere that’s truly Austin. I can’t wait to go back.

Cute spot, the band was really good, the tacos outside are really yummy- I got the Al pastor (no onions) and veggie mushroom and potatoes. They were a good size and tasty. I would come back here with a group. It was nice that they had free entry before 7:30, but no re-entry after that time without paying cover charge.

You HAVE to go!!! What a gem of a place. Watching the locals dancing the two-step was brilliant. Live band. Good sound system. Just a great experience of a honky tonk. Loved it.

Atmosphere was awesome! Everything you'd want in the fusion between a honky-tonk and dive bar. There was a surprise show which was Silverada the night I went. Packed house, good tunes, and good vibes all the way around!

Taco truck out back is amazing. Despite being out of a few things the alternatives were just as good. Margaritas on tap. Good outdoor seating. And the line dancing lessons were fun despite being crowded.

Great place with a cool atmosphere and the stage sounds incredible. Went on a monday night and still there was a lot of people and some top level musicians.

We went early in the evening for the two step lessons. The place is cool, dark, and has lots of character. It's a great dive bar. We enjoyed the dance lessons as well as the live band that followed. Very casual, fun atmosphere. We got a Lyft there so we could drink, and they don't really have parking anyway, so consider a ride share to avoid the hassle of finding street parking.
