Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon

Ginnys Little Longhorn Saloon is a honky-tonk dive bar on Burnet Road in Austin, best known as the original home of Chicken Sh-t Bingo, a Sunday-afternoon tradition where numbered tickets are matched to a grid square a live chicken relieves itself on. The game dates back more than twenty-five years, after musician Dale Watson brought the idea back from a California cow-patty bingo event and pitched a chicken-sized version to owners Ginny and Don Kalmbach. For a rider looking for a genuinely old-school Austin bar, Ginnys Little Longhorn delivers a small, unpolished honky-tonk room rather than a curated nightlife spot. The Sunday bingo tradition draws a mixed crowd of regulars and visitors specifically for the spectacle, alongside the bar's everyday identity as a no-frills beer joint.
