I'm never sad that I stopped in at the Little Longhorn Saloon! Great music, fabulous bartenders, and an awesome crowd. Even the chickens are friendly!

Super fun dive bar, been open 30 years (at least). The owner was so welcoming, walked around talking to everyone. Cold long necks. Chicken shit bingo was a hilarious good time. Felt like Austin in the 70’s when strangers bought you a beer, just because.

Cheap beer, live band, and a down to earth mixed crowd of people that were there to dance and hang with friends. Maintains the essence of old Austin along with locals who know each other. If you’re looking for a fun hole in the wall honky tonk, bring your boots, and stop by for a drink.

Dropped on a Tuesday night as I needed a fix for some live music, but wow, what a treat. Small venue packed with folks who love music and dancing. I will not make the mistake of being improperly dressed again as I visit Austin. While ...

What a cool little bar to have a drink and to listen to some live music. This place has been around for a bit. Sit down or dance and check out the Austin vibe.

Super cool Austin must go cowboy bar. Live, country music and super friendly service. Go two step your heart out. I wish I could two step better so I can go back and dance. Check this place out!

What a great place to have a beer, chill and meet new people. This place is a gem and we had a blast. The band was great and there was a good bit of dancing. This is the real deal and we didn’t see any posers or hipsters. Real people enjoying themselves after a days work. Love it.
