Live country music five nights a week for anyone who wants the real Texas, the kind you two-step to. Since 1964, one low ceiling, one wood floor, zero pretending.
Not a theme bar. Not a replica. The same dancehall that has hosted country legends for six decades, still doing the same three things right.
A real band on a real stage five nights a week, with a wood dance floor that has been broken in since 1964. Come early, stay till the last song.
Music · DancingTerri White teaches the traditional two-step, Western Swing, and the Cotton-Eyed Joe, the only line dance allowed on the floor. Wed to Sat, 8 to 9pm, then the band plays and you use it.
Wed to Sat · 8pmThe kitchen runs 4 to 10pm Tuesday through Thursday and till 11 on Friday and Saturday. Eat first, dance it off after, all without moving your truck.
Kitchen · Private partiesDoors open at 4. Grab a table, order dinner, and settle in while the room fills up.
The back room opens. If you want a lesson, be there by 7:30 to sign up. Classes fill fast.
One hour with Terri White and you will know enough to survive the floor. $10 plus your cover.
Live country till close. What you learned at 8, you dance at 9. That is the whole idea.
The exact lineup changes week to week, so the calendar page always has the current bands. The rhythm of the week does not change.

Closed Sunday and Monday. In the real build, this board pulls tonight's actual band from the calendar automatically, so it is never out of date.
"Took the 8 o'clock lesson knowing nothing, and by 10 I was two-stepping with strangers like I grew up here. Nowhere else in Austin does that."
"I bring every out-of-town guest here. Dinner, a band, a dance floor older than my parents. It is the most Texas night you can buy."
"We booked the dancehall for a birthday and it felt like the whole room was in on it. You cannot rent history like this anywhere else."
Quotes are illustrative for this concept. Est. 1964, the Texas Historical Marker, hours, and lesson details are all real.
Simple as it has always been: walk in for a night out, add a lesson, or book the hall for your own crowd.
That is exactly who the 8pm lesson is for. One hour with Terri White covers the traditional two-step plus some Western Swing, and the band right after gives you a full night to practice. Show up by 7:30 to sign up, because classes fill fast.
