Four generations of my family have enjoyed listening to music, dancing like crazy hillbillies, and visiting with the big circle of family/friends at the one and only Little Longhorn Saloon. So many, many talented musicians and bands have taken the stage here. Youll always feel welcomed and made a part of the family here. You can become a, chicken whisperer too.

Owners are super friendly. Band was fantastic. Beer was cold. Bingo was quirky. Outside space was better than dark inside and has cornhole amd shade in the evenings.A local recommended eating elsewhere. There are lots of places around to go.

I used to be a regular customer from the mid 70s through mid 80s. I played a lot of dominos in the back. Moon and 42 mostly. They had an original slate domino table with beer holders. We used chalk to keep score on the slate surface. Hope to return soon with my friends, Sam and Sarah Kiger. The Little Longhorn was one of the best kept little secrets in Austin for years. Cheap cold beer, pool tables and dominos. I now live in New Mexico now but if I were in Austin right now Id be at the Little Longhorn Saloon.

The site of a modern day thunder dome. Great beer joint. Come on a Sunday. Sip on some love stars and bet on the chickens pooping.

First of all, bingo- from the poop of the chicken- be aggressive because people will buy up your tickets! Anyways! THIS PLACE IS LEGENDARY AKA LEGEND-TERRY. Terry the owner is a babe and a bad ass. She makes sure everyone feels welcomed. Gave our dogs treats, taught me how to two step. This woman is amazing- and her staff is just as wonderful. I am so thankful for coming here. Thank you!! Big shout outs to Diana, Libby, and Amanda as well!

Real music and real Austin !Alan Haynes was there last week and Ulrich Ellison joined him on a guitar jam. It was so beautiful and the guitar energy all over the place.Izzy Cox played one of her last shows at the little longhorn salon and that makes it really special joint in Austin.Bar only beer and wine.Cheers

My wife and I love this place. The beer is cold, music is excellent, and more importantly the staff is perfect. Tonight the owner came through and gave her love to every patron of her establishment. If you come here be prepared to stay because the customer service is as if you were home.

Terri and her team are fantastic. They make you feel instantly welcome and at home. They have great deals on Lone Star but a solid line up of drafts. Always great music!

Everybody should see it, have a beer then go somewhere else unless they are looking for a sloppy tailgate.

Great music almost every night. Got a serious “locals” vibe but in a non the less friendly way. A gem not to be missed.

This is a real deal, old school Texas Honky Tonk. Great band playing last night. Nice group of patrons as well. Owners were super friendly and welcoming. I am from NYC and will return to Longhorn Saloon in the future. Worth the trip.

I love Ginnys and Ive been going here for years. I feel like the star rating here should range based on what day it is how easy it is to park there. Its a tiny little place so when its full its FULL! Not all bars are fun all the time, so the more crowded it gets it turns into a 3-star bar. And if theres live music and its not that crowded, its five star for me.

One of the best spots in the area. The bill wont shock you.

LLS is the north-central Austin honky tonk to get your Texas Swing on any day of the week. It simultaneously has a relaxed and spirited atmosphere reminiscent of when its location was probably in the country (outside the city limits).

Small But Mighty Dance Hall & Saloon, friendly people and lots of fun dancing

Review №38

I first went there with my mother around 1974. Exceptional neighborhood dive bar. A fellow named Bill Pittman and his wife ran it. The only thing that really has changed is the clientele. A lot more millennials. Most patrons during that time I first frequented it were older and have either passed or have had to move from surrounding areas because they were forced to relocate because they could not afford the cost of property taxes due to gentrification. Not complaining about millennials because if they enjoy the place they have to be good people and are good company to have conversations with.

Watch the bartenders with your money here!I have been here a few times and it has been fun, but last Friday the waitress tried to steal $10 from me when my friend paid for our beers and I didnt know it at first. I slapped 10 on the bar and she just took it and walked off, no change, no eye contact, no putting it in the tip jar either. Of course now she wasnt going to come to the end of the bar or look at me for awhile, so I finally got her attention and she just looks at me from the middle of the bar and shrugs like what?. I finally get her to come over and she pulls the 10 out of her pocket and puts it on the bar with nothing more that a quick I didnt know and turns around. Very impolite and dishonest.

Review №53

Novelties aside, this is a great venue. Bar selection is basic and service is fast and to the point. A variety of bands play here. You can sit up right next to them or well away for conversation. Its a pretention-free zone, you might be next to bikers or business suits, but youll have a good time.
