Your A-List: Best Place to Line Dance
There may be businesses that have been around Austin longer than this week’s winner for Best Place to Line Dance, The Broken Spoke, but you’d be hard pressed to find one more iconic.
Opened by James White on 1964, the Spoke is the epitome of a classic Texas dancehall and conveniently located just miles from downtonwn. Of course, when White first opened the doors, the South Lamar Boulevard location was considered to be the edge of town.
“Like the club, owner James White is a throwback to the days of honky tonk. The club gets a fresh-faced crowd of dancers every Thursday for Jesse Dayton,” says Statesman scribe Michael Corcoran.
