Live music and loads of fun |
2520 Rodeo Plaza Fort Worth, TX 76106 United States +1 817 624 7117 http://www.billybobstexas.com/ |
This cavernous honky-tonk is America's "Best Country Music Nightclub," according to both the Country Music Association and The Academy of Country Music. It's also one of the largest and most famous. Founded in 1981, Billy Bob's Texas offers enough room for 6,000 people to drink, shoot pool, play video games, or dance to the live country music performed every night. Rodeo enthusiasts will enjoy the indoor arena where cowboys ride bucking bulls every friday and saturday night. Friday and saturday night headliners are often among the biggest names in the industry, including Garth Brooks, Lee Ann Rimes, Hank Williams Jr. and Bob Hope. All have left handprints, which are displayed in concrete around the club. It's recommended that you call the box office for weekend concert ticket prices, before visiting. Review © 2007, Wcities |
