The Broken Spoke dance hall

The Broken Spoke opened in 1964 and is one of Austin's longest-operating country dance halls. The venue has long hosted live country music, two-step lessons, and dance nights that draw regular local patrons alongside touring performers. It is widely regarded as an Austin institution by residents who frequent its dance floors. The building and business have been the subject of local preservation and community interest as part of Austin's live-music history.
