The Little Longhorn Saloon

Such an ATX gem. Great music, dancing, and Janet keeps the place rolling. One of my go to places in Austin. If you can’t have fun at Little Longhorn you need therapy😀.

We came for the CSB and it did not disappoint. What a fun, weird way to spend a Sunday evening. Love it!

Old school digs for live musicThey have one or two different bands pretty much every eve of the year, and that’s pretty much what you’re here for. The place is a bit loud, but not unbearably so, the people are friendly, the kusic is usually good (ion a honky-tonk kinda way), the beer is cheap and cold, and, we’ll, what else do you want?

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.

This place is amazing! Janet is a fantastic bartender. The music was awesome. All around a great place. Definitely make this your stop in Austin! @Destinationthisway

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 fun Texas “joint” where the music is live and the crowd on a Saturday night is a multi-generation mix of two stepping joyful souls. Dancing boots are not required but certainly welcomed. Toe tapping at your chair is something you cannot avoid here because the music is fun and the dance space is always occupied, but not too crowded. And the band plays for tips, so if you appreciate the effort and energy of the band, remember to put a tip in the can!

A smaller bar in Austin. Cold drinks, friendly staff. But, what everyone came for was the Chicken Sh*t Bingo. Yes, you read that right. You basically place a random bet for $2 or $5 were the chicken will poop at. I loaded a picture of the rules to take a look at. Chickens were well cared for, and each round last about 30 minutes normally.

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.

This place is AMAZING!!!! Great band! Great choice of beers! And soooooo much fun!!! Come for the chicken bingo!!!!🤣😂🤣

It’s our place so much fun great bands great atmosphere just fun

BEST HONKY TONK with live music! The staff is so friendly and everything about it feels local. In a matter of three hours, I felt like everyone around my was my extended family I never met. “Bill“, who I believe has lived here forever, danced and led thru the best two stepping I’ve ever done in my life. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Chicken bingo was fun, live music was good, but the bartender was beyond rude when I got my second drink. So, that was the drink I got. It’s cute and all but there’s a hundred other bars in Austin where the bartenders and people are nicer.

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.

I traveled from Washington state and this place has been amazing. The service is awesome and the atmosphere is so welcoming. The dance instructors taught me how to two-step and they were so patient with me! The owner made this place feel like home! Thank you all so much for a great time!

The place was awesome!! The Original Home of Chicken Sh!t Bingo was over the top fun!! I did not win, but man if you’ve never been here at The Little Longhorn Saloon, it is definitely a destination to come too!! The owners are true to the core!! The Band Bob Appel was WOW!! Can not even tell you how awesome!!

Almost feel like I shouldn’t give it a rave review so other tourists (like us😂)won’t find it. Great bar. Great band -Dallas Moore. Terrific folks. Will definitely come here again if we find ourselves in Austin.

What a great bar! Loved the atmosphere and the music. Terry and her team made sure we all had a blast: Thanks Terry!

An iconic Austin music venue & bar that we almost lost to the (sad) ever-changing city. Its a local favorite with a friendly chill atmosphere, dancing, and always a good time. Loved when Dale Watson was a weekly artist. Never met a stranger here.

Friendly bar tenders, live music, two stepping and today they had homemade cookies. Authentic local feel.

This place is the real deal!We visited here while staying in LoBurn Live band (were great) and the atmosphere was hoppin.Great mix of peeps all having a great time.If I lived in Austin this would be my hang out.

Chips were great, bingo was better

Very welcoming, homely, free 2-step dancing lessons, free parking and a great place to have a fun night. We arrived there 30 mins late for free dance lessons on a Wednesday night, but the instructor was kind enough to teach us the basic 2-step lesson to get us prepared for a night of dancing. Everyone there were very friendly and we all (my family) had a good time. Live music was great and it was a night to remember in Austin.

Chicken Bingo is a must see. The staff are so friendly. Well worth the visit in Austin.

You will not find a more authentic Texas honky tonk than this! It just has that old Texas flavor from the decor on the walls and the old Ford Texaco truck out back to the bartenders who are all friendly and energetic. The band was unbelievable! Johnny McGowen and his Rugged Gents! True Texas honky tonk, boot scootin music. I can’t rave enough about them. The chicken sh*t bingo was also fun. But the real draw is the music and the atmosphere. If you’re in Austin and want to experience a real old style Texas honky tonk, this is the place to go.

Fun place if the old blonde bartender werent jealous of her young coworkers and patrons. Poor Terry, hope your isnt coming up short ,during her cigarette breaks. Hopefully the IRS will intervene.

Awesome bar and great musical talent! Terry the owner was incredibly friendly. I highly recommend stopping at this tavern. Its alot of fun!

We flew into Austin from Michigan to hit the honky tonks and this one was on our list this trip.The little long horn didn’t Disappoint. Great music and a awesome staff.Lots of dancing and a lot of laughs.Thanks Terry for a memorable night.We will be back again!!

Had so much fun drinking and playing chicken bingo, everyone was so friendly and inviting!

Janet made us feel right at home. Im from San Antonio and will be coming back soon. Great music, live, every night.

New owner has tuned up this famous honky tonk! Continued great music, the chicken s...t concert on Sundays, and dancin. Loved it!!!

I absolutely love this place! Such great people and such great fun. Always a good time when I come to the little longhorn saloon!!!

Perfect crowd, service, and prices (in that order even). One of the best bars in Austin

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.

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.

Great band, fun Sunday with the chicken sh&t bingo.

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.

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.

Quaint hole in the wall piece of paradise. Tell momma hi. She always here. Do yall selves a favor n come in round 4-7pm Sundays. Chicken bingo is awesome. TIP THE BAND!! Thanks momma for the good time!!

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

Came for the chicken poop bingo, loved it! So much fun. Family friendly too, my 2 sons (9 and 12) had an absolute blast. We will defiantly be back for more fun.

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!

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

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.

Truly authentic honky tonk with exceptional lighting for portrait mode

Oh man, this place is a blast! Friendly folks, kinda diverse crowd, and even though everyone else was SO GOOD, it was still fun tryin to two-step with my partner. Not to mention, great country bands play here.

One of Austins original authentic neighborhood bar owned by none other than Dale Watson . If you like to hear grrrrreat Texas Music kick.up your heels & come on down to drink local Texas beers with the friendly folks at Little Longhorn Saloon :-)

Love this little dive! Chicken shot bingo is the best!

Amazingly fun Sunday!

My favorite place in Austin. Its family, its fun, and its live!If you like honky-tonk live music, Lonestar beer, and good times, this is where you want to be.

Great local spot for good music, cold drinks, and fun entertainment!

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.

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.

What a cool place! Nothing like this in London! Love it

Great selection of beers and a solid lineup of true Texas country every night on the stage! This place is quintessential Austin and a great example of what a bar should be!

The Chicken Poop Roulette is a blast! The line ticket is golden! Bring the kiddos.

Very nice go check it out

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).

Solid dive bar right on Burnet. $1 Lone Star draft during happy hour! Always good live music. An Austin legend right here!

I was sexually harassed in the first five minutes of walking in this place. And i was served a beer so old and stale it had lost all its carbonation. and it was sour tasting. People at the bar were holding seats with their hands for people who were not present. This kind of stuff does not fly in my part of town. This bar is actually misogynist and horrible. I tried to email Dale Watson but, he is unreachable. Guess that is how much he cares about customer service. If you are a broke down old nasty jerk, this is the bar for you!

Always a fun time!

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

Love this place! The staff is great! So much fun!

My husband and I chose this as our place it was exactly what we were looking for to have a place where we could dance and be treated like family not vjyst anouther fave in a crowd ,,, ,,it reminds me of my mom and dad cause they would live it here and so do we ,, Everyone is very happy and friendly

Real Texas bar- cowboys and 2Step! Great country bands. Take a twirl on the dance floor. Mid week fun.

This place is legendary in Austin. Great music, cold beer and the most amazing staff in all of the Lone Star State!!!

Sunday Chicken sh** bingo is a blast. Go! Just go. Also great live Texas swing music and great beer prices

Intimate and casual bar with a lot of character. A great place to see love music. They always book fantastic bands.

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.

Like you stepped back in time to when it was simple, good friends meeting for the first time. Amazing atmosphere, and awesome folks. Good music too

Like good, local music, especially real country? Youll like this cozy little place. Eveebody is the friend you may not have met yet.

This gem on burnet rd is the real deal.. hardcore austin vibe. alvin crow every thursday. you just wont believe the feeling when you walk in. its truly an austin original. such a beautiful thing.on thursdays from 9pm-1am, its alvin crow, wes starr, john X reed, jason crow. THAT is an ALL-STAR band, to say the least. you will be surprised to see the famous faces that mosey in to hear alvin crow---nicknamed THE LIVING BREATHING JUKEBOX!!delay no more - experience this little piece of heaven. its like stepping thru a time warp. alvins music will have you out of your seat - dancing the night away.and a bonus: NO COVER CHARGE!!!

Best little honky tonk, sure but also great staff and prices. Have you heard about CHICKEN SHXT BINGO? Yup, theres here is the original!

Sundays are perfect if you can end them with this place. Cheap cold beer, friendly crowd & a chicken poopin on top of the pool table... Which can earn you some cash?

Big Disappointment. Used to be fun now its over crowded, too loud, crazy expensive. There are many options for crazy Austin experiences. Skip this one on Sundays.

Great local joint thats been around a long time. Recent addition of good craft beer attracts some new patrons.

Ginnys is NOT closed as the tag says...Ginnys is open and still the best place in town for serious country, western, and honky-tonk music Cheap, ice cold beer and a cool vibe..

Judy and Terry are incredible. This is my favorite live music bar in town

Most honky tonkeniest spot in town! Always a pleasure

Best spot in Austin

No food here, but everything else is superior!

Burnett might evolve, but The Little Longhorn will remain true to its original, amazing form. This place is amazing

Rude staff. Would not go back!!!

One of the cutest little country Gems in the little Big City of Austin

Always a great band playing. Cold beer. Nice people. I love this place.

If you dont like Texas Honky Tonk Dives, dont go here, city slicker. This is a true Texas Original. WE LOVE JENNY!!!!

Great music, cheap beer, 16 taps and Chicken $h!t bingo on Sundays!

Nice honky-tonk with great live music. Band came around and thanked us for coming out to listen.

Great place, but beware ! Bartender just cut me short for my change, 50 dollars. Incredible!

Always a good fun crowd for music and Chicken Bingo on Sundays around 4 to 8.

I never met any locals or veterans there,now I know why.The barkeep was really loud and nasty to me, I should of had her make good on her threat to call the police to find out what her problem was..I not even had my first beer!!...that place is poison.

Fun place to watch chickens poo

Best little beer joint in Austin Texas grew up with the owners . Great people!

Great music, great staff and never a cover. My favorite bar in Austin.

Fun honky tonk bar. Good selection of beer on tap surprisingly. Nice vibe

So much fun! Great birthday!!

This is a very friendly honky tonk. The staff and music is great. Highly recommended.

Ill always hold this place close to my heart... Good times and special memories.So go make your own memories!!!

It is funky, it is fun, can get really crowded. Cheap beer and food, fun chicken shyte bingo!

Awesome time great fun ready to go do it again go on a Sunday its the best time play chickenshit bingo

An underlooked part of keeping Austin weird -- the chicken s### bingo is a must-do in this great little dive.

An awesome place to people watch. Also, they have some great food vendors who come by and setup in back.

Great music, cold beer, awesome people. My favorite little bar!

Met some great people at the bar and the $1 Lone Star happy hour was fantastic!

Sunday is especially fun. But I think this joint rocks every night of the week.

A great local honkytonk that never disappoints. A must visit of historic Austin watering holes.

Nice little bar with a big crowd. And they have chicken bingo! 🤣

Got there about two, it was not packed. Staff treated us so nice. The bill was appropriate.

Terry is wonderful! Beers are priced well. Come on by and grab you one

Not a very welcoming atmosphere + no parking. The band and dancing was fun.

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

Great Music and a great neighborhood place ! You always feel at home !

Great burgers and atmosphere!!!

Great spot for some real Texas fun. Played Chicken Bingo and listed to live music.

Great live music, always. Friendly bartenders. Totally country.

Good place if u dont drink liquor.. beer and wine only.

One of the best dive bars in America. Dont miss the chickenshit bingo!

Place is just awesome. Beer, live music, and chickens!

Janet is the best barkeep on the planet.

Great night out, but small place. Get there early for a table

Spent many a nights seeing dale and his boys perform live here. An Austin original.

Good music, chicken bingo, free hot dogs and beer. Fun time

About 6 beers on draft, tons in bottles, reasonable prices, kind of crowded during Bingo.

Fun atmosphere great people as well as very social staff

Good band, cozy atmosphere, nice people, what more can you ask for

Best little dive in Austin

Brought my brother here while he was visiting and it was a riot!! Such a fun spot!

Oh man, you have to be here on Sundays! Great place to bring big city visitors!

Nothing like chicken sh!t bingo. Loved the music and the fun!

Just loving it $1.50 lone star,great blues band

Good beer prices if your drinking the right stuff so be sure to ask

A cool place to hang out on Sunday and play a game that you might not find anywhere else in the world!

Best honkey tonk weve found so far! Great music!

One of the best live music joints in town. An Austin institution.

Great Place! Loved the atmosphere....so much fun!

Very friendly and good overall atmosphere.

Janet is the love of my life

This is Austin the was it was it Austin was awesome. If you wanna see the real Austin grab a drink.

If you havent been in Austin 10 years or more you will totally hate this place so you should stay away, especially on Sunday.

An authentic little Honky Tonk still dancing through the ages

Small, noisy, great live music, lots of fun!

Just an awesome experience here!

A uniquely Austin spot with great music and chicken bingo.

Awesome live music scene. Great honky Tonk

Listening to Jerry Jeff and Merle tunes enjoying a Shiner. Hard to beat....

Customer service left much to be desired. Give your business to a better establishment like The Rock.

Cold beer, great people. A throwback to what Austin used to be!

Good ol fashioned honky tonk with a solid beer selection.

Our kids won chicken poop bingo! Great place!

Amazing place and amazing staff!

Ruffles I like, it’s a 5

Come here for genuine Austin/Texas. Especially if you like honky-tonk-style music.

One of my all time faves! good music and vibes

Nice little hole-in-the-wall to listen to great western-swing music.

A place to hear great music an get to know the real Austin.

Cold Beer and Friendly Service. I hope the landlord doesnt get greedy.

Live music, cheap beer, free hot dogs, and pooping chickens. Whats not to love?

Great chill place for happy hour and music

Went here for a birthday celebration. So much fun!!!

Always a fun place to hang out at with friends and family

When you’re here you’re family.

This is one of the gems of Austin. This personifies what our great city is about.

One of the best little honey Tonka i have ever visited

If you havent experienced chickensh*t bingo, you havent lived. I mean it.

Great atmosphere. Bartenders were great!!

Great place to come be yourself

So much fun!

Come here for Chicken S*** Bingo on Sundays at 4pm! Q

Good live music all the time

Visiting from Denver we hit upon this gem by accident and had the time of our lives.

Good music.. Divey but that is its character.

No parking, poor customer service, and way too crowded.

We love this place!!

Love that little honky tonk in the heart of the of Austin.

The greatest bar in all of Texas

2 dollar Lonestars, Texas flags, and live music !

Amazing, just amazing

Great place to spend a Sunday Evening.

Yes close ..Home town. Good feelin

This is Austin. Best honky-tonk in town

The Khoa Soi was just as in Chaing Mai

Authentic Austin Honky Tonk. Love it!

Chicken coop bingo was my favorite part

The best way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Dancing, cheap drinks, and chicken bingo. Whats not to like?
