Enjoy a drink and some light bites, snap a photo atop the Photo Bull, and soak in the music and atmosphere that make Billy Bob’s a Texas legend.
Explore the White Elephant Saloon
Our tour guide will share the history of Dallas and the Stockyards before we enter one of the most storied establishments. The White Elephant Saloon is well-known for its lively atmosphere, neon cowboy hats, and authentic Texas charm.
