Walk around the Stockyards. Maybe stop at one of the little bars and/or check out all the little shops.
Go to Joe T. Garcia's. It's the best Southwestern Mexican food I've ever had. You get two options: fajitas or enchiladas. Practically right after you order, the waiter brings you a plate of the house nacho's and tacos. Your main course is served with a plate of rice and refried beans. Order a pitcher of Marguerita to top off the meal. They only take cash or check so be prepared. The patio is beautiful and a little more rowdy (more fun) but it's always a long wait so opt for the indoor seating line if you're famished.
Billy Bob's Texas Honky Tonk. This place seems like a tourist trap and there are things about it that are touristy (Re: the fake mechanical bull you can pose on for professional pictures) but overall, I would say this place is pretty authentic. I could smell cow crap and tobacco the closer I got to entering the building. Billy Bob's features bull riding competitions on Friday and Saturday nights which explains the corral attached to the side of the building. There's usually some sort of live music which can really vary. I saw Three Dog Night and Kevin Fowler on different nights, like I said, it varies. My favorite thing about this bar is the two stepping. You can't miss the floor because it's right under the crystal studded western saddle, Billy Bob's version of the disco ball. In regards to the men, they ask you to dance a lot. Many guys can't dance these days, unless you count some half-ass grinding at the club, so it's nice to run into a crowd of men who know how to dance with a lady. They're also complimentary in an appropriate manner. Again, many men don't know how to say "I think you're pretty" without hitting on you or being creepy. But these laid back boys know how to at least fake polite. I'd like to hope they're genuine.
Fun times in Fort Worth, Texas.
