Billy Bob Barnett and Billy Bob's Texas

Billy Bob Barnett opened Billy Bob's Texas in 1981; the venue marketed itself as the 'World's Largest Honky Tonk' and became a prominent live-music and country-entertainment destination. Located in the Fort Worth Stockyards, Billy Bob's has hosted well-known country and popular music performers and built a cultural reputation tied directly to Barnett's founding. The club remains a landmark of Fort Worth's entertainment history.
