Billy Bob's Texas
2520 Rodeo Plz
Ft Worth, Tx
Billy Bob’s Texas opened April 1, 1981 with national attention featuring with its 100,000 square feet entertainment center, more than 30 bar stations, country music’s biggest stars, real Pro Bull Riding, and a Texas size dance floor. It became known as “The World’s Largest Honky Tonk”, where more than 6,000 fun loving folks of all ages could enjoy entertainment every day and night.
The current hall was reconstructed in 1935 using oak shipped from Fort Smith, Arkansas for the dance floor. The dancehall and bar were separate structures keeping patrons who wanted to drink beer and watch the dance for free behind a chicken wire fence. Men paid an admission fee of fifty cents while women and children received free admission. The dance floors were lined with benches and guests were kept warm with a wood-burning stove. In 1950 the hall welcomed new owners and gradually began to see changes and improvements. Beer was allowed inside the hall in 1960, the same year tables and chairs were added. Air conditioning was installed in 1969 and was run by a diesel generator. The hall has seen a number of new owners through the years. In 2017, the most recent owner has updated the hall with hopes of keeping the history of Schroeder alive.
