Billy Bobs started out with quite humble beginnings being originally constructed as a cattle barn far back in the early 1900s. Then for some time the building was used as an aircraft manufacturing plant since its size made it ideal for the role. Later it was converted to a departmental store going by the name of “Clark’s”. Since the building was so huge the stock boys had to move around wearing roller skates to speed up things. The final transformation came on April 1^st 1981 when Billy Bob Barnett had the building converted into the world’s largest honky tonk. Inaugurated by a musical performance by Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers Billy Bobs was set to become an instant attraction for the local people.

Over the years the club attracted notable musicians and performers such as Pat Green, Merle Haggard and George Thorogood. A large number of live performances were recorded and released on CDs and DVDs which propelled Billy Bobs towards national recognition. The nightclub also features a Celebrity Wall which has the hand impressions of many of the most notable names of the music industry who have performed at the night club. The club was expanded over the years to include more entertainment for the patrons and now has a capacity of over 6000 people, with over 20 bars to serve them as well as an indoor rodeo arena and billiards tables. The club has been the recipient of five “Club of the Year” awards by the Academy of Country Music as well as two “Club of the Year” awards by the Country Music Association.
