"Couples have been twirling around the dance floor at the ‘Spoke, as locals call it, since the 1960s. Today, modern apartment buildings rub shoulders with this comfortably creaky old honky-tonk, but the music’s the same as always. All the greats have performed here, from Garth Brooks to Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Travis Tritt, and more. Crowds come for a taste of old Austin and live music, and to take advantage of free two-step and swing dance lessons every Thursday through Saturday night."
