great jukebox. I love going here. I think it attracts alot of fun people and its nice not to have to go to sixth street to have fun since everything there is just filled with drunk idiots most of the time. I love the jukebox here it is awesome!!!

HorseShoe Lounge. The Horseshoe Lounge and the surrounding businesses has been bought and will be razed to the ground very soon. The Zilker Neighborhood Assn. is trying to save it.

my bar. My dad always told me the Horseshoe was one of the diviest, most dangerous bars in Austin. I laugh when I think about it now, how I had imagined bikers breaking bottles over each other's heads and knifing people in the parking lot. Every time I walk into the Horseshoe, I see a friend or two (or three), the bartenders know what I'm drinking, and I have the distinct satisfaction of knowing this is My Bar. Places like the Horseshoe Lounge are scarce in this day and age and I am so thankful it hasn't been corrupted like everything else "old" Austin.

What a dive...in a good way!. I really like this place, the beers are cheap and you can BYOB under a pint. The bar serves set-ups since they don't sell liquor, and a cheap bottle of whiskey is the solution to many of lifes little problems. Be warned, the shuffle board tourneys can pack this place, but you will always find room to watch. They still allow you to smoke inside provided its not directly sitting at the bar.

Cheers Horshoe! Two bottles up!

The decorations announce this place as a shrine to two things: the Lone Star State and beer.. In Short
There's a large glass-encased Texas flag and numerous posters indicating that Budweiser is served here. At the U-shaped bar, you'll usually find older men, blue-collar guys, a few chew-spitting 20-somethings with a smattering of hipsters looking for a true dive bar. From the jukebox comes an unceasing flow of Willie Nelson, Junior Brown and all things classic country. Note the colorful lighted ceiling over the bar. Imagine the "Saturday Night Fever" dance floor hung from above.
