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.

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.

Great venue for the Texas two step, live music was on point (well done Taylor and band) bar service was quick and the taco truck out back didn't disappoint. A must visit for some real Texan dancing

Awesome lil honky tonk to go check out if you're in the area. Has that old feeling. And they teach the texas 2 step Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7 o'clock. Staff is super friendly. Live music 7 days a week. And the food truck is amazing too!

Had a fun few drinks here during our vacation to Austin. There was a band playing and plenty of dancing to enjoy. Cover was 5 and well worth it.

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.

Came here an hour after opening on a Thursday as we were in the area and it was on our tourist list. When you walk in your eyes will take a while to adjust to the dim lights but don't worry, if the door is unlocked they are open. Happy 'hour' from 4pm till 8pm, get in before 7pm to avoid cover charge and enjoy some two step. Sonny was basically our personal bartender for an hour until people started turning up for two step, great guy with good stories about the bar and the local area. Tip your bartender!

Great service, great atmosphere. Met some awesome people. Friendly environment. Had a great time. We searched up a place to go have a night out of dancing, and that's exactly what we did. Everyone was having a great time learning how to two step (including myself). Drinks are a great price. 10 entrance fee per person. How much you want to spend depends on you. They also had a food truck when you went outside to the patio.
