Best Honky Tonk – PBR Big Sky

PBR Big Sky has been known to host a crazy crowd or two. This is where cowboy cool meets urban chic. Think denim and diamonds, Stetsons and stilettos. Throw in cold beer, hard drinks and a little bull riding, and it’s a fun time for any cowboy and cowgirl. With country music playing in the background and a dance party on the floor, you can enjoy drink specials Monday through Friday, and a live band playing Thursday and Saturday nights. PBR Big Sky, 111 E. 13th St., Kansas City, MO (816) 442-8145 www.pbrbigskykc.com.
