men not welcome

johnnyb10

Just wanted to C&W dance but we were not allowed entry before 9:30pm. Upon our return after just one dance the owner asked us to leave the dance floor until after 10pm. Nice bar if you are a girl.

Great Music

I visited on a Saturday night and it was nice to dance to some good older music.

Nice

Campfool

I'm from out of town (San Antonio) and showed up there early and alone. The staff and manager were very nice and made me feel welcome and right at home! Lots of girls doing the two-step, very well I might add, but not to many guys. In fact, I think all the guys that were there were straight... Or maybe they just didn't like me! In any case, the place seemed nice enough.

Lots of fun!

Well, the 2-steppin' is only on Friday and Saturday nights, but there's still a great time to be had at Rusty Spurs. The cute bartender and the attentive manager couldn't have been sweeter, and the drinks were well priced and well mixed. Can't say much about the decor, as the place is pretty much just 4 walls and a bar, although the patio's nice if it's not too hot. Not much of a crowd on Wednesday night, but the folks who *were* there were all friendly and welcoming. Word is the Sunday Beer Bust & Latin Night is *the* time to hang out here.

my favorite gay friendly bar in Austin

atxthumper

I love this bar. While the clientel is mostly gay it is a great place where everyone can feel comfortable, have a drink served by the best bartenders, laugh it up with old friends while making some new ones and really just be yourself. There's always something going on here too. Live music from some of Austin's well known artists drive the beat!

Great place to meet people

Neal2010

While visiting Austin to look for a house for my upcoming relocation from Florida I decided to checkout the local night life. I found Rusty Spurs on this site and thought it would be a good place to go since I like country music. It was not what I expected, the crowd was small, nobody was line dancing, and the DJ did not seem to have the songs I wanted to hear. However, the small crowd and bartenders were very friendly. I have been in management going on 20yrs. and I can honestly say, the staff is a good staff and made me feel very welcome and comfortable, I even made some new friends.

poorly managed - NOT a c&w bar

2stepper

no a/c in the Summer, no central heat in the winter...no men's night and Jim won't even consider it. Bar staff are good guys and the new DJ is a big improvement. Drink specials are rare, high priced beer and a limited selection. Sunday beer bust is the best thing about this place. Overall needs a manager to do it right. Seems it is going down the same road that the Rainbow Cattle Company did.

You call $1.00 Draft's regular Price

RustySpurs

Isn't that what Beer Bust means low cost beer. I know becuase I'm there every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The BBQ is one of the best in town it's the only bar where you can find anyone from twinks to bears and The Spurs pulls people from all walks of life into it without attitude. This club is really what Austin Life is all about.

Skip it

wuff

Rusty Spurs website advertises a Sunday happy hour and beer bust (their only busy day of the week) but charges full price. Isn't that false advertising to get people to come into your business? Skip it

Will definately be back!

JDHGORDON24

As an overseas contractor, I don't get to go back to the U.S. much. I planned my R&R so I would have a full weekend in Austin. I found the Rusty Spurs and fell in love with the bar and the friendly staff. It's a must see while in Austin.

Cowboys, Bears. Dikes and Drag Queens

ActivistArtista

Great round-up of the friendliest people and staff in Austin! 3 large bars: main bar plays country and has a big dance floor,outside bar with theme nights plays anything from rock to disco, and the new bar recently opened next door has a lounge mood for the more subtle cocktail crowd!

Damn, Austin is hot!

Texasfruit

Was there last weekend (7/7/09) and the Air Conditioning was on the fritz! While the place is large, and the beer cold, I just couldn't get over the fact that is was so DAMN hot! Also, it's extremely narrow, so you get a chance to rub up on people as you walk by, and when EVERYBODY is sweaty it's not that much fun. Defineately go if you're into country/western dancing, as its a great space!!!

Where the cowboys are in Austin

RainbowCowboy

Now Austin has a true cowboy bar and a great one at that. It's a “where you feel at home” kind of placed and the staff is so friendly and down to earth. Just off the beaten path of 6th street with lots of parking and MEN, MEN & more Men I didn’t think this many cowboy’s still lived in Austin. The ladies that where there are a small group but they mix right in with the men and everyone gets along something I haven’t seen here for years. We got there at 11pm on Friday and they had a live music on the patio with a DJ and dancing in the main dance hall we found parking right across the street in a huge lot and there are many in the area. The prices very reasonable and their happy hour prices are the best I’ve seen in town. With (4) 52” flat screen they played video’s on and from what I understand they will be showing the UT games on the weekend it’s a must see. This is what a cowboy bar should be and it looks like Austin just made the winning score with this one. P.S. Rusty Spurs was just voted the Best New Club of 2008 By the Readers Poll in the Austin Chronicle.
