A
Flying Saucer Draught Emporium
You definitely won’t go thirsty: the bar inside this old brick building is made for craft-beer-lovers (80 brews on tap). How can you not love a bar whose jam-packed patio is called ‘Half-Acre Hell?’ The waitresses slinging beers in Catholic-schoolgirl outfits are kinda weird, but hey, this is a funky old place that flips the bird to political correctness – if the old-fashioned cigarette machine is any indication.

The stunning, acoustically dazzling Bass Performance Hall recalls a classic European opera house, with over 2000 seats beneath a dome of painted sky. Along with touring artists, it’s also home to the Fort Worth Symphony, the Fort Worth Opera and the Texas Ballet, plus plenty of touring shows.

Billy Bob’s Texas
The 100,000-sq-ft building that is now the world’s largest honky-tonk, called Billy Bob’s, was once a barn housing prize cattle during the Fort Worth Stock Show. After the stock show moved to the Will Rogers Memorial Center, the barn became a department store so big that the stock keepers wore roller skates.
