Billy Bob's Texas (honky-tonk with large food and drink service)

Billy Bob's Texas opened in the Fort Worth Stockyards in 1981 and markets itself as the "world's largest honky-tonk," combining live music, dancing, and a full-service bar and kitchen. The venue has hosted nationally known country artists and large crowds for which it provides extensive food and drink service, helping shape the Stockyards' reputation as an entertainment-and-dining destination. Its scale and continuous operation since 1981 make it a notable part of the city's modern food-and-drink landscape.
