Billy Bob's should be fun, and there are a bunch of other places in the Stock Yards in Ft. Worth if its not too busy that night. PRs, Cadillac's, etc, etc, etc. Then there is Sun Dance Square in Ft. Worth too, with plenty of bars/clubs/places to eat, etc.
I'm not too sure about Dallas places, I'm sure some will fill you in.

oh, and pm "BP" on ft. Worth places if you need some info. Say I said so.

I completely agree, I like Ft. Worth alot more actually. Downtown on a Saturday is pretty rediculous.

No way! I was just out there two Saturdays ago, and it's still alive and kickin' (well, sorta). It was a little cloudy when I went, but there were still 50 cars or so (about 25-30 nice ones) in the back parking lot, and the front was full as hell. Great burgers! Make the run!

If you are up near Frisco, go to Cruisers http://www.mycruisers.com. The owners are car/bike nuts and they have a turbo dragster, a couple street rods, lots of BSAs, harleys, etc. in the restaurant. Food is really good too.

If you want to hit it on Monday night, there is a big GTG with a couple hundred cars, nice ones, and some crap, that starts at 8:30 or so.

Steak at Papa's Brothers is great too.
