Panhandle Arena
Justin W.

Billy Bob's Texas is a fun and lively spot with a true Texas feel. The live music, dancing, and indoor bull riding are the highlights, great food and there is always something going on. It can get crowded and a bit pricey, but the energy makes it worth a visit.

Place is poppin! Get there early
Frankie M.

This was my first time in Fort Worth, Texas! And if you're anywhere near the stockyards, you have to pay a visit to Billy Bob's! This place is a giant western playground for adults! 33 bars and plenty of booze to go around. Live music, bull riding, pocket pool, a variety of eateries galore... you name it, this place has it! There was a $40 cover. I recommend getting there early. Anything past 9PM means you'll be waiting for a long while outside in the cold on a December night. We had just eaten at Cattlemen's down the street, so I can't really say anything about the food. But overall, the ambiance was lively and great! The bull riding was epic and the line dancing was quite the experience! We had a blast and can't wait to come back!

Mixed buffet plate

Was here for a work dinner. They had us in a back room and served a buffet. Brisket was fair for the most part but when I went back for seconds, found a few fatty pieces that others had passed on that were excellent. Pulled pork would be fine for most people I suppose but I am a snob On this dish and have yet to be to a bbq joint that makes it better than mine. The potato salad and beans were absolutely ace and the peach cobbler was great too. Beer selection was lacking IMO because I typically only drink crafts beers. My group loved the line dancing and the pool. We would have enjoyed the bull riding too but they weren't doing it the night we were there. Fortunately we got to see the show the next night at the stockyards arena.

Dancing

Cool place to visit. It has a lot going on and worth just popping in. I didn't eat there and only grabbed a beer to soak in the ambiance. It feels like a honky Tonk from a movie should. Bartender was friendly.

We came in after watching the cattle drive at Fort Worth Stockyards. It's been an iconic concert and rodeo venue for years. The nickname is "The World's Largest Honky Tonk" . It's huge -- lots of space to eat, drink, dance, watch bull riding, or just hang out without being in a crowd. Many famous Texas and national artists have played here and there is a wall of fame, guitar pick wall, and back stage pass collection! In addition, there are pool tables, a dance floor, concert stage, and bull riding on Friday and Saturday nights. There is a restaurant but can get busy so see if they have reservations. We did not eat food. This week the artists playing are Drake Milligan and Stoney Larue. We loved the laid back feel of Billy Bobs. A great place to see a concert, eat, or dance.

I am a fan of music. Sonically, I'm all over the place. One night I'm at a rave, the other I'm going to a honky tonk. Living in Texas all my life, the country bug sneaks up on you. You listen to a little Tyler Childers and go, well, he's alright, and then four years in Lubbock, Texas and you're a Treaty Oak Revival super fan. Billy Bob's is the mecca of honky tonk in Texas. A chapel of Red Dirt. I can't line dance. I don't own a pair of boots. I can drink a Lone Star, though. After seeing Gavin Adcock smashing tables or Fred again.. dancing with his family after two nights at Dickies with an Aaron Watson song in the background, I wanted my moment at Billy Bob's. I was in Fort Worth for a work conference, and I made sure the task was clear. We must go to Billy Bob's. On a casual Wednesday, my team and I went. It was Ladies Night, so most got in free. There's so much history inside the walls. Signed handprint slabs, walls of photo pass and all-access stickers, and plenty of soul. My co-workers played a crazy high-level game of pool while I watched Texas Tech lose the first game of the WCWS to Texas tragically. We then watched people line dance to the classics as well as the Trolls version of "September," which was more confusing than anything else. This place is an oasis for music. I would love to see a show here, but even on a bar night, it's an excellent time. Long live William Robert's.

Brisket, sausage, fried okra.

Legendary spot. Certainly the best hick bar I've ever been to. No doubt about it. Skip the food, though. Eat somewhere else.

Located in Ft Worth, BB's is a great spot for a night out. Recently attended the Rival Sons show and it was great! Venue is large with plenty of seating, a great dance floor, and entertainment.

Hugh place!!! There is a fee to get in during the day, inside you can see lots of music memorabilia. There's a lot to do and see here, play pool, play arcade games, visit the gift shop, sit and have a drink, dance, eat at the bbq restaurant or just hang out and listen to music. At night they put on concerts, you have to buy tickets for the concerts. There are several areas to get drinks so there's not much of a wait during the day, I'm sure at night it is very busy though. Fun place to check out in Ft Worth.

Valerie S.

We went for a private event and stayed to check out the rest of it. It's a really cool place and great to show folks from out of town something special about Texas. Staff was great, drinks were strong. We didn't eat so I can't speak to that. It's a Texas institution, what more can you ask for?

Justin M.

Saw Pat Green recently Great show Fun venue But , my wife and I had the pleasure of hanging out at the bar with bartender Bree , it was fun watching her work , she was moving !!! Once she had time to chat she was very funny and witty Helluva bartender !!!

A hateful human
JemuelnleAnne M.

Coming here for an out of state family visit and stepped inside to look at the legendary Billy box entered after dinner with my children and our family at four because we decided to visit with children. We wanted to do family friendly things so we venture to take a family photo upon approaching the booth unable to hear the young lady if you want to call her that we were greeted with hateful speech, verbal assault, and told to get the hell out of her booth, this was uncalled for unnecessary and then upon trying to reach management we were told the booth is an outside vendor nonetheless, it is representative of the famous Billy Bob's I encourage you not to spend a dime here. Do not bring your families. Do not patronize the Photo Booth customer service is everything management was unavailable. She assaulted us with curse words in front of our 210-year-old. Children

Inside

I can't remember the last time I was here. However, my cousin wanted me to join her for a concert so I did! I had such a great time! There was lots to see! First of all, they have a friendly staff. A male Cowboy showed us where to go and a female Cowgirl said, Y'all enjoy! It's the southern hospitality that gets me every time and never gets old! Billy Bob's has a Gift shop, a Mechanical Bull, a BBQ concession, a Pizza Concession and has the best Popcorn for $3.00! You can buy a drink and get free refills too! They also have several large bars. Our Waitress came around several times to check on us. The Restrooms have been remodeled and there are many stalls. The temperature is just right and they have two Dance floors! The sound system is stellar too! It's just the right volume. You are able to hear the person next to you. Thank you Billy Bob's for having David Lee Garza and Bobby Pulido Perform. I truly enjoyed their performances. So, gather all your friends and head to Billy Bob's and experience this great venue!

If I buy a ticket to a General Admission table, does that cover just one person's entrance? How does that work?

In these post-covid times, is there still dancing? I saw on the website that you could buy tickets for performances but it look like that you enjoy the concert by buying seats. I don't want to sit. I want to dance! Is there dancing? Thanks!

You can dance, but it is limited people on the dance floor and you have to wear a mask 😉

I'm curious what the concerts are like with reserved tables and social distancing?

I went to the Chad Prather show. Masks were required except when seated at a table. While groups were separated on the same side of the table, we were seated directly across the table from others and we were back to back with the table behind us.… Read more

What is the cover charge on a Friday night? Does it hang when there is a concert?

For Friday's when there's not. A concert is $10 and when there is a concert you have to pay the standing room ticket wich starts at $25 depending on the artist

What is average age of people that go?

It is a family style place, msiny ages 13-25 & 40-50...Alot of stuff form all ages to do, just don't go to a concert! Seating is really backwards stupid and bad at that!

During a trip to Fort Worth in April, a friend and I stopped by Hotel Drover for drinks and to…read moreexplore the property a bit. Wow, what a beautiful hotel. Located in the Stockyards and part of Marriott Bonvoy's Autograph Collection, the Drover somehow managed to feel luxurious, western, cozy, and lively all at once! We grabbed drinks at the lobby bar before wandering around the hotel grounds, taking photos, and eventually settling into chairs overlooking the little river/creek area behind the hotel. The outdoor spaces are stunning and incredibly relaxing and I loved all of the murals around! A huge shoutout to Victor, the bartender working that Friday afternoon. I gave him a very vague idea of what I was in the mood for and he definitely understood the assignment. He crafted me some sort of elevated fruity ranch-water-adjacent cocktail that was refreshing, delicious, and one of the many highlights of the afternoon. I completely forgot the name of it but I remember enjoying it - so much so that I ordered another one during lunch :) One of our other friends joined us later for drinks and lunch and, somehow, everyone except me managed to trip over the grass at one point or another. Oh, and not too mention, the great landscaping entertainment... haha! We can't all be perfect!! All in all, the Hotel Drover feels very welcoming even if you aren't staying overnight. You can walk around, enjoy the grounds, grab a drink, and soak in the atmosphere without feeling totally out of place. Relaxing, stylish, and very Texan. I'd absolutely return and would love to actually stay the night sometime!

My favorite spot to sip on a drink and lounge outside in FTW!!…read more I haven't stayed at the Drover, but I love coming here for the vibes. The hotel's lobby interior and exterior is absolutely stunning! I love the outdoor seating area with lots of chairs, sofas, and greenery. Today I got the Raspberry Jalapeño Margarita, which is genuinely one of my fav drinks in the Stockyards! We found an area that overlooked the creek and it was the perfect place to rest and relax. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Elegant and understated like many of the buildings…read morealong Magnolia, the Marquis fits right in and creates the perfect atmosphere for a one-of-a-kind party. This isn't an enormous venue; but you can comfortably fit 250 guests. There's a gorgeous spiral staircase that leads to the main level, as well as a glass elevator. Super-tall ceilings, a spacious wooden floor, and giant windows make for a wide-open, ethereal ambiance. It's pretty majestic. The Marquis offers different wedding reception packages (including dinner, wedding cake and cake cutting, linens and glassware, centerpieces, an event coordinator, wait staff, and security) from anywhere between $17 and $54 per guest. You can also have an outdoor party, ceremony, or reception outside (for 50 guests max). I didn't get a look at their outdoor space, but based on the inside, I'm sure it's wonderful. I attended a wedding ceremony and reception here a few weeks ago, and it was pretty awesome for the wedding party and bride to come up that beautiful spiral staircase, emerging into the center of the room before they walked down the "aisle." Very unique and dramatic. After the ceremony, guests went downstairs for hors d'oeuvres and wine while the staff rearranged the upstairs from ceremony seating to reception tables, chairs, and a dance floor. It was a beautiful wedding and the Marquis on Magnolia really made it extra-exceptional.

It's a U shaped space that allows for food service on 1 side long side, seated dining on the opposite side with dais & dancing at the short connecting end. Soaring ceilings adds to the majestic and formal ambiance of the historic location. The curving central stairway makes for a unique grand view of the wedding party making their appearance by ASCENDING into the party space rather than a more typical descend; it made for great photos! I attended a wedding at this venue, so I'm guessing that they cater as well. The appetizer buffet was well presented and the offerings were prepared to the best expected. I don't think it fair to review the main meal since the wedding party had an extended photo session; therefore the food was served after a long time in warming mode. But, if you're planning a wedding or special event I would definitely encourage a consideration based on just the location, especially if you live in Fort Worth.
