What is a Honky-Tonk?
Could someone help me out?
shareHonky-tonks were rough establishments with music throughout the United States that served alcoholic beverages to a working class clientèle. Honky-tonks, sometimes, also offered dancing, piano players or small bands, and were sometimes also centers of prostitution.
An article in the Los Angeles Times of July 28, 1929, with the headline, Honky-Tonk" Origin Told...reads:
“The honky tonk...was the predecessor of the present-day cabaret or night club, the principal differences being that the prices were lower and that the former establishment made no pretense of 'class.'"
