"Down to the Honkytonk" is a song recorded by American country music singer Jake Owen. It is the second single from his sixth studio album Greetings from... Jake. The song was written by Rodney Clawson, Luke Laird, and Shane McAnally, and produced by Big Loud Records co-owner Joey Moi.

"Down to the Honkytonk" was released on August 20, 2018 as Owen's second single for the Big Loud Records label. It is the followup to "I Was Jack (You Were Diane)", which reached the number one position on the Country Airplay chart earlier in 2018.

An article in The Boot said that the song is "[l]ed by a driving drum beat made for clapping and stomping along" and "finds Owen explaining that even if you're not rich and famous, there's still plenty to love about life". Taste of Country writer Billy Dukes said that the song had influences of Alabama and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, while calling it a "big, easy, contagious romper".

Owen told iHeartRadio that he wanted to record a song about honky-tonks because "A honky tonk is really just the place where you can go, have some beers with friends and listen to some good country music, and make memories and tell some good stories. And that's kind of right in my wheelhouse.

Keith Wallin: onefortheroad It was a new one for me, too! I learned it just before I recorded it tonight! My neck where the scar is is healing nicely. The numbness and electric shocks in my hands are going to need another spine surgery. Thanks for the great coments. They are very much appreciated...:-)
