The White Horse has quickly gone from being an East Side neighborhood dive bar to one of the most popular bars for live music, dancing, pool and patio hangout in town. With a rockabilly vibe, this unpretentious place still has good prices on drinks and no cover charge for 99% of their live music shows (the only occasional exceptions are for specific artists or charity events). Serious dancers gather here; Two-Step, Zydeco and Cajun dance lessons are held weekly, and they host old-fashioned sock hops every second Sunday of the month at 9 pm. There's a Bomb Taco truck outside for the munchies, and a cool free Popcorn machine inside. Dogs are welcome on the patio.

- Best Nightlife: "Check out the flea market held at The White Horse every Saturday (weather permitting) from 3 to 7 pm for fun and funky finds."
- Recommended as Best Nightlife Because: This is as authentic as Austin gets - the single place I always recommend out-of-town friends check out.
