Billy Bobs in Fort Worth, Texas is the biggest honky-tonk in the world. Situated in the old part of this modern Texas city, it attracts visitors from around the world. If I remember correctly and I'm remembering through a haze of Lone Stars the place is about 10 acres under one roof. It is a part of the stockyards which were once an integral part of the city's past. Cattle from this part of the state would be gathered here and shipped north via railroad to the slaughter houses in Kansas City and points north. Billy Bobs has numerous bars serving thousands of beers per night, eateries, dance floors and even it's own rodeo. Many famous country music entertainers have performed there including Willie Nelson and George Strait. So, if your ever in Ft. Worth drop into Billy Bobs. You'll be glad you did! And get you some souvenir shooter glasses!
