One of the first places I ever went in Austin and still get chills every time I walk in. Hickoids and Beaumonts are the best at the white horse! I'm from Texas she can tell by the way I'm two steppin round the room...
100% fun. We were visiting Austin for the first time and so glad we went. It was a Sunday night and this joint was hopping. I can’t remember the name of the house band but they were fantastic! It was quite the spectacle to see everyone two-stepping! It felt like a welcoming space—everyone was friendly and there to have a good time. It ain’t fancy, it was perfect!
If youre looking for low-key hole in the wall, good service and live country music, this is the place. Locals dancing to local musicians. Cold beers, and good music. I was there 730p-10p on a Wed. But music started 8pm with multiple bands thru out the night. I wanted to stay longer but had an early morning. thoroughly enjoyed the music and the people dancing at this little gem.
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.
