The Broken Spoke dance hall and supper club

The Broken Spoke opened in 1964 as a Texas dance hall and supper club and has been a noted anchor of Austin's country-music and dance-hall tradition. The venue features a bar, a wooden dance floor, and a menu that has historically included classic Texas comfort dishes; it has hosted notable country performers over the decades. The Spoke is widely cited in histories of Austin music as an example of preserved mid-20th-century honky-tonk culture.
