Billy Bob's Texas
Billed as the world's largest honky-tonk, with live bull riding and Texas two-step dancing. It is the centerpiece of Stockyards nightlife.
Billy Bob's Texas sits at the north end of the Stockyards National Historic District. It was converted from old cattle barns and covers about 10,000 square meters. The venue has dozens of bars, a dance floor, pool tables, and a concert hall that holds thousands. Many country music stars have performed here. On Friday and Saturday nights, there are indoor professional bull riding shows. During the day, visitors can tour the venue and learn the two-step. Daytime admission is inexpensive, while evening shows require a separate ticket. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by an adult. It pairs well with the cattle drive and the rodeo for a full cowboy night.
