| - I got friends in low places
At JT's Bar where the whiskey are downed
And beer chances my blues away
And I'll be okay
Well, I'm not big on chicken wings
Think I'll give them a try with hot sauce
Oh I got friends
At JT's Bar & Grill!
(Lyrics - Garth Brooks - Low Places)
I can't say I'm a regular here, but this is definitely my dive. The place reminds me of home back in Iowa. Low, dark, and dink with some crazy-#$% flares hanging around, and I'm not talking about the stuff on the walls - wink! I've been here enough and it's weird to say I've never really ate here until I saw it was 2012 Best of Phoenix Bar Food! Shawa!? Sweet and awesome article so my friends I gotta try.
I ordered their wings after watching how the cook made them. Fried tossed in sauce and then grilled. Never saw it done like so, but I'm not a fan of soggy wings. I always order on the side, but the bartender convinced me to go with "the works", and keep it as is. I'm not a sucker for pretty bartenders, but how can I say no.....ooooh shucks sure! I did not regret the decision - no foo, not the "Lebron Decision", I'm talking about the wings! Okay let's stay focused. The wings came with a perfect texture of crispiness with a jolt of sweet and spicy sauce. Bam! Best damn sauced wings I had! Thanks for the recommendation! I ordered a side of fries to keep that spicy to balance the spice.
Along with your food you must order a few drinks here. Not the largest selection in town, but if you need that go to the Yard House ya hippy! My AA (Affordable Alcohol) group would love it here. In my opinion the drinks are pretty cheap considered the prices of most places these days.
Overall, great bar to lay low if that's how you feel for the night. It's right in the heart of the Arcadia neighborhood and it's not as rough as it looks from the outside. I'm from Iowa and I've seen some rough bars and this place looks the spot, but once you start meeting the people around having a drink. You'll feel just at home - a Midwest home that is....- Enjoy!
