I travel to Phoenix/Scottsdale a lot. Handlebar J has become my hangout because the waitresses are nice and although the food is ok, the band is awesome and sometimes my sister or I even get asked to dance. It's a real honky tonk and not some cookie-cutter joint. The owners seem nice and unlike the Rusty Spur (aka nasty management), there are no pretenses and there's lots of room for dancing, drinking and fun.
