Whether you want to kick up your heels on a dance floor or just hang back with a cold one and listen to good music, consider this your ultimate boot-scootin' bucket list. Of course, we'd be remiss not to include Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, it's a must-see attraction even if you’re not a country music fan. There's also Poor David's Pub, another legendary venue where Sara Hickman and The Dixie Chicks got their start. Not to mention, all the shows are free for the taking. Even Jack Ingram and Miranda Lambert have performed there. Speaking of live music, Adair's Saloon brings in the cream of the country music crop when it comes to up-and-coming indie bands and singer-songwriter acts. Those looking for dance floor action will want to head over to Cowboys Dancehall–where they'll find plenty of room to strut their stuff to live country music all weekend. But that's not to say locals don't enjoy embracing their inner cowboy (or cowgirl), especially when it comes to two-steppin' at the city's best country music bars. And rather than being at home on the range, Dallas' real Cowboys are playing football on a field. Contrary to popular belief, Dallas isn't actually a town of 10-gallon hats, oil derricks and cattle ranches.
