3 Best Nightlife in Fort Worth, Dallas and Fort Worth

Billy Bob's Texas

Stockyards Fodor's choice

Visiting Fort Worth and not seeing Billy Bob's isn't quite as bad as going to Paris and skipping the Eiffel Tower—but it's close. Built in an old cattle-pen building, the world's largest honky-tonk is a vast place—the almost 3 acres of indoor space include several bars, pool tables, a Western store, an arcade, a huge dance floor (in lieu of a disco ball, there's a spinning rhinestone-studded saddle), a stage that draws some of country's top acts, and a bull-riding ring (contests are usually held on Friday and Saturday nights).

Cowtown's best Western-style watering hole may be the White Elephant Saloon, a legendary Wild West bar with live country music seven nights a week.
