Last real Honky-tonk in Austin

One of the things I was excited to partake in when I moved to Austin was good TEXAS Two-Stepping! Unfortunatly when I got here i learned that most of the old cowboy bars were long replaced in Austin by trendy college hot spots-----also fun, but not the same. Donns is a really great mix---- there is the country music (or piano on some nights) a nice little dancefloor, and there is still a good mix of ages. Not all college kids, not all old-folks---a little of both! The only drawback is there is usually a covercharge ---generally a deal breaker for me (if i'm gonna spend $$ at the bar, why should i spend it at the door!) but I actually broke out the wallet on a few occations because Donns' is worth it.

Pros: Texas Two-stepping, FUN place, not Pretentious at all.

Cons: Cover charge, Younger boys dont seem to know how to dance.

Editor's Review

Live music, laid-back patrons and cold beer bring in all sorts to one of Austin's old-school, honky-tonk gems.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Although popcorn completes the official Donn's menu, longtime patrons occasionally bring in home-cooked tailgating-style appetizers such as chili.
