    Awesome place! Concerts in the front, swing dancing in the middle, famous musicians hand prints and guitars in the back! Lots of bars, pool tables, arcade games. Mostly kid friendly. $18 for general admission.

    I was very happy to have the ability to bring my younger teens to a real honky tonk to learn line dancing in person with others. They were very excited about going and getting this experience. I also felt very safe by taking them on ladies night when it was free for them. They are under 18 so I was pleased that they let them in (as long as they stay close to me). There was a lot of people and lots of fun! This establishment has many different activities and events going on at different times that you may have to pay for but not on this night for us.

    Arrived in town by 6pm to stop in at Billy Bob's. Daytime cover was on $3 person. Not too busy on an early Thursday night. We were able to grab a burger & beer before we joined the free dance lessons at 7pm on the dance floor. Fun time before getting back on the road. Wish we could have stayed longer for sure.

    Had a Blast! Paid the cover for a ticket to a place like no other! Friendly, prompt staff. Giant open everything, from gift shops to pool tables to dance floors! It really is bigger in Texas! Got my family some souvenirs and had myself some drinks, great music and unforgettable memories. Oh and the little arcade section is fun too!

    Great atmosphere!! This place is huge! The food was so good. First time trying brisket tacos and they were perfect! Wishing we were able to stay for the music and bull riding.

    Wow! This Florida boy will be back! We were given tickets to the Billy Currington show but weren’t going to go cause my wife is not a fan (of C&W, not just Billy). He was great. The lead act was great. The fans were great. Even the bathrooms were clean! We got home at 1:30am and I’m nearly 60! I don’t drink and I don’t go to bars anymore (long story) but Billy Bob’s is more than just a bar - it’s a Texas Experience! If you’re looking for a fun night out; music, dancing, mechanical bull riding or even REAL BULL riding then Billy Bob’s is the place for you! They’ve got everything! My wife and I even had a slice of pizza! Oh, and they have non-alcoholic beer, too.

    Interesting place during the day. I’m sure it’s much more exciting at night. We were just passing through and stopped to see the stampede. We ate some Billy Bob’s BAR-B-Q and looked around a bit. Food was good. I would come back for an evening show.

    Awesome place to drink hang with friends watch some bull riding line dance etc. Went on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy getting busier around 10:00. Bull riding only on Fridays and Saturdays and they don’t have a mechanical bull. Band played and people line danced on the floor near. Drinks were strong, people were friendly overall a good time.

    Possibly my favorite establishment I've been to in the US. The atmosphere was fantastic. Everyone having a great time, drinking, dancing, playing games. The crowd is mixed ages and there's so much to see and do. It's kid friendly though if you're on the conservative side, it's worth noting some of the younger crowd were dressed in somewhat revealing clothing. If that doesn't bother you though, you'll have a blast! Drinks are reasonably priced and what you'd expect from a bar. We stayed for the bull riding which was super affordable at $6.00 per person. My only complaint is that it only went for about 20 minutes and I enjoyed it so much I wanted to see more! 😆 Next time I'm in Texas I'll be visiting again for sure!

    Largest honky tonk in Texas. Huge! With tons and tons of stuff to do. Too much to list. Even more shops surrounding the venue. Fun fun fun! Line dancing, great music and games. They have bull you can get on that looks real and looks like it's kicking it's rear high in the air that you can take photos on. If you can't have fun here then I am sorry for you:)

    *******WHERE DO I EVEN START******** If I could give a negative 5 star review I would which is so disappointing seeing as how this was my very FIRST time at Billy Bobs. I had such high expectations. I went for the Cody Jinks Christmas ( this was a splurge purchase) for myself this year for Christmas. When I tell you I paid several hundreds of dollars for two seats in the absolute worst location in the house. The people next to me had a great view. I however had the view of a wall. Smack dab in front of me. If I moved I had the view of cowboy hats. There was literally no where to go. Soooo I mean the music was great. But I saw maybe Cody jinks ear? Maybe a foot?? I certainly didn't get to watch a concert. I got there super early and I voiced my concern to my waitress Isabel and she told me not to tell her about it but to go tell the box office. Oh and then she never came back to serve us the rest of the night so not only did I pay for no concert but I also paid to receive no service….. Guys it isn’t hard. I’m a really happy and easy person to please but this was seriously awful. I walked around and every other seat in the house is great. Buyers beware do not buy section D seats on the right side or the table facing the stage. The left side is OK. I seriously think they need to not put seats for sale behind a wall. It makes no sense. The people who were standing saw a much better show but by the time I got done trying to resolve the situation all those spots were taken as well. The people in front of me noticed our seats sucked too and they even talked to the waitress and said they would be LIVID. Just awful awful awful. And Isabel you should really learn how to be a server and understand that when a customer voices a concern to you … help…… at the very least just listen, and come back and do your job. You would have received a great tip. Merry Christmas!

    My friends and I took a tour at Bill Bob's it was awesome. We went to the green room and on stage we got the full tour. I will go back and I recommend going if you haven't.

    Billy Bob's has always been a Great venue to see a concert or just visit when you're in town. You won't be disappointed. It was a Packed house 7-1- 2023 for the Aaron Lewis concert. What a Great time we had.

  • 5/5 Maria Laura J. 8 months ago on Google
    Billy Bob's Texas is an exhilarating and iconic entertainment venue that embodies the spirit of the Lone Star State. As the world's largest honky-tonk, it offers an unforgettable experience for country music lovers and party enthusiasts. The massive dance floor, energetic live performances by renowned artists, and lively atmosphere make it a hotspot for music and entertainment. With multiple bars, a bull riding arena, and a vibrant crowd, Billy Bob's Texas guarantees a night filled with foot-stomping music, lively dancing, and an authentic Texan experience that will leave visitors with lasting memories of a truly legendary night out.

  • 5/5 Verena A. 5 months ago on Google
    Went as part of a large group for a private reception, bull riding contest, and then stayed for a great concert. Billy Bob’s has a bunch of food, drink, and shopping options. Plus a dance floor, of course! Once in the hall, live music concerts can be enjoyed (standing/dancing) throughout; section closest to the stage is keep for people with tickets (seated), probably not as fun. In walking distance to hotels, restaurants, more shopping, and the Stockyards.

    Great authentic country venue to see the NYE2024. Self Parking across the road (uncovered $10) Valet parking $18. Safe venue. We purchased concert tickets using App to avoid long lines for Will Call and at door.

    We had a great time visiting Billy Bob's!! Brought back So many memories! The staff is very friendly, and the drinks and music are great! We love all of the nostalgia!!

  • 5/5 Scott P. 4 months ago on Google
    Historic, must see landmark in the Fort Worth Stockyards. It's the largest honky tonk in the United States that's hosted some of the most iconic Country and Rock & Roll artists of all time!

  • 4/5 Gabriel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly the worlds largest Honky Tonk and all that entails. I didn’t care for the way they had the GA and “Pit” sections set up for the show I attended. I hadn’t been here before and I didn’t know that the GA tickets would be so far from the stage or I would have upgraded to the pit tickets. I did enjoy all the country music memorabilia that adorns the walls.

  • 5/5 Chris Battle S. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here for a company holiday 🎉 party This is really the world’s biggest honky tonk… it’s huge. They had 3 different party’s going on, a bull riding arena, about 20 pool tables, live music, line dance lessons and a gift shop ALL AT THE SAME TIME… The bartenders, servers, and hostesses were very friendly and helpful. Brie kept our cups full and Marcus made sure the buffet was on point. We even met Jill, the club manager, who made sure we were having a great time as we were walking around. Will definitely come back for a concert or a rodeo.

    My friends and I went before 6:00 pm so cover is $3 per person. We had dinner there and everyone enjoyed their meal. Staff there was super friendly and helpful. Food was reasonably priced and I would definitely go back again.

  • 5/5 Ant F. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic! What a great place. Plenty food outlets and bars. Both stages were being used. I managed to see Brad Paisley which was epic. The hand impressions wall was an eye opener and I even saw Jonny Cash's hand prints. Top tip: Park over the road for just $5.

  • 5/5 Maura D. 1 year ago on Google
    So much fun. Sensory overload. Concerts, bars galore, 2-step dance party, live bull riding (no not the mechanical kind!), pool tables, food and neon lights. So much fun under one roof. We will make a trip just to go here.

  • 5/5 Linda S. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Billy Bob's. It's a good old fashioned honky tonk. The staff there is really nice people. The concert tickets are affordable prices when you're on a budget. Got to see Shenandoah!

  • 4/5 Richard W. 2 years ago on Google
    Well, I just parked by there to pick up my pre-race " bling" at the John Wayne Experience. Big Cancer Run tomorrow and we are participating so.... But I did check out the exterior building and it's history, and the immediate area surrounding Billy Bob's is incredible. Smack dab in the middle of the Stockyards! Cool place for sure.

  • 5/5 Johnny B. 2 years ago on Google
    Biggest Honky Tonk Bar in the world :) Bull Riding Dance floors Food Music Beer and more ... See the handprint wall of your favorite Country 🌟 🤩 Delicious Cakes too 😀

  • 4/5 Kelli R S. 2 years ago on Google
    The experience is cool. The house band is really good and plays a great mix of covers. The staff is pretty rude though. The dance floor is a joke - more people just standing around on it or not knowing what they are doing making it difficult for those that actually want to dance. The food is not great and the drinks are weak & overpriced. With all of that said, I would come back for a concert ...I would just eat dinner beforehand.
