"Not from Austin? Hosting an out-of-town friend? Generally looking for a fun night but don’t have a real agenda in mind? All are excellent reasons to go to White Horse, where it’s pretty impossible not to have a good time. It’s always crowded, and filled with all kinds of people—older Austin hippies, young tech people who just moved from San Francisco, former frat stars, and definite weirdos. That melting pot, plus the always-solid live music, plus the actual honky-tonk dancing that goes down, all make White Horse one of the best places to spend a night in Austin." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, katherine lewin
