The White Horse is East Austin's beloved honky-tonk dive — a low-key, genuinely cool bar with live country and Americana music nightly, a small dance floor, and a taco truck out back. It draws a wonderfully mixed crowd of old-timers, hipsters, and everyone in between, all united by cheap beer and good music. The vibe is unpretentious and the dancing is encouraged even if you don't know the steps. Cash is king here and the line can stretch outside on weekends.
