Honky Tonks are restaurants located in the southern United States that cater to leisurely drinking and live, homemade music. The expression is also used as a stylistic descriptor for popular blues music today, one example being honky-tonk piano playing, an intentionally off-tuned rendition of the instrument that can still be heard at many blues clubs across America. In everyday language, "Let's Honky Tonk" is a cheerful invitation to celebrate and revel in unbridled joy!
