Last Friday night a group of us were invited to join others who were going to check out Scooters in Moulton, TX. We have all been looking for a place to go kick up our heels and dance a little with out having to drive into the Austin area from Bastrop.
Moulton is a small town located about 30 miles south of Bastrop/Smithville on 95 just past Interstate 10, (close enough if someone wanted to make a drive from Austin or San Antonio.)
Scooters a small tavern located on the main street in town with the old brick store front, has expanded into the building next door and now includes large screen TVs, a stage, great dance floor, and wonderful bathrooms. They have music on Friday and Saturday nights and have a Sunday afternoon venue too.
We got there early (7pm) and grabbed a table and good thing we did. By 10 pm it was hopping with a great mix of ages. The music that night was provided by a local karaoke group singing lots of the old country western music with a nice mix of current favorites. ( some really great singers I might add!) By midnight the crowd had gotten a bit younger but everyone was well behaved and having fun.
One of the best bars we have been to in quite some time! Great service! What a great treasure. The locals certainly appreciate having a place to go to, and we will go again. Probably before we will drive into Austin to shuffle on a dance floor!
I am sure there are lots of other great hidden treasures out there. If you know of more, let us know!

I don't know anything about the town....however, I do agree that small towns do offer much more real things than the big ones.
