| - DAY DRINKERS PARADISE!!!
I stopped in here while on a dive bar crawl around 10am on a Monday. It sits in the corner of a dead mall, in a not so good area of Chandler. So looking at Jolie's from the outside I was expecting to walk into a typical, dirty, smelly, dive bar with a half dozen or so professional drinkers perched on their stools being fed cheap drinks by a bar maid who wanted to be anywhere but there; have my one beer and adventure on to the next place.
I stepped into Jolie's and boy was I in for a SHOCK. First off I noticed that this place is big and CLEAN!!!
Everything in the place looked new or just painted or just cleaned. So I sit down at the bar and am quickly greeted by a friendly, cute, and very busy bartender who introduces herself and asks what she can get me. I ordered a large draft and received an ice cold beer in a huge FROZEN "man sized" mug for a couple of bucks!
Damm...I am kinda liking this place...lots of sports on big NEW HD TVs...great service...And it looks like somebody decorated the place too...I mean, I am looking around and notice curtains on the windows...pillars behind the bar....chrome... wood...stone tile in the head, lots of designy type stuff I know nothing about but women do....stuff I don't recall ever seeing in a dive or sports bar. The decor gave the place a comfortable, home-y kinda feel.
So half way through my second ICE COLD GIANT MUG I am being addressed by first name and offered food. Normally I would not eat bar food, especially "dive bar" food. But ...well...hell... everything else has been way better than expected, why not try the food...
My sandwich was really good and the fries were awesome! I mean the fries smelled and tasted like they came from an actual real potato and not from a frozen food factory in Bejing.
This was NOT the usual greasy-fatty-salty-over breaded, nasty stuff usually served at bars. This was fresh, hot, home cooking kind of food with generous portions and priced really low...in a "dead mall bar"....Un-frigging-believable...
Before leaving I visited the head and it was spotlessly clean, with not one line of graffiti on the walls. How the heck did they pulled that off??????
Now maybe this visit was a fluke or I just got lucky and hit this place on their best day but for now my impression is, they got something "special" going on at Jolie's Place and the next time I get the opportunity to do some "day drinking", I'm starting at Jolie's.
