The White Horse
500 Comal St, Austin, TX
The White Horse is an East Austin honky-tonk that opened on Comal Street in December 2011 and has become one of the neighborhood's defining live-music bars, co-founded by Nathan Hill and Denis O'Donnell. The room is built around a large dance floor and near-nightly live country and Americana music, with local residencies that have helped launch acts associated with the modern outlaw-country scene, including regular Sunday sets from the long-running Conjunto Los Pinkys.
Beyond the music, the bar has a full-service bar, two pool tables, a photo booth, whiskey on tap, and an outdoor patio and smoking area, plus a Bomb Tacos trailer for food on site. It draws both dedicated regulars and visitors specifically seeking out live traditional country music in East Austin.
