I don’t have much experience with country music bars, but this great honky tonk will be the benchmark against which I will judge all others. The inside harkens to a better saloon than Hollywood could imagine, with neon bar signs, deer heads, antique guns, brothel mirrors, bull horns, farm implements you can’t identify, Western paintings, irreverent signs, and a wood-plank dance floor. Every inch of the beamed ceiling is covered with cowboy hats of the famous and not-so-famous. There are only two rules, which need not be enforced: have fun and no snivellin’. On our first visit we happily squeezed 6 people around a high top in the middle of the action. On future visits our favored spot will be at the outside side of the bar on a warm night, where we can see the inside action across the very busy bar: the live band in the corner (without chicken wire — name those movies) and the dance floor just big to swing or dip your partner, and just small enough to make it intimate. Before the band starts inside, there is some lower-key live music on the spacious outside patio, which is also a great place to escape to if you prefer conversation to the hoopin’, hollerin’, and boot stompin’ inside. Before the excellent, request-only country band took over for the recorded music, they led the entire bar in a standing Pledge of Allegiance (you never forget these words, no matter how long it’s been). This part amazed me but I’ve since been told by country bar flies that the National Anthem is more common. We loved it and were gratified that people are proud to be proud of this great country. As for food, the much-vaunted ribs were excellent, as was the pulled pork sandwich. We both ordered wine and didn’t even fear being beaten up (other tables had some too; safety in numbers). Our server was excellent, and how she kept up with the crowd was plum amazin’. We’ll be back. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

First of all…. I have never had so much fun at a bar in my entire life! When I tell you that I danced for 3 hours straight… I mean that! The owner Joanne is absolutely amazing and made me feel extremely welcome! As a black woman… I can CONFIDENTLY say that the handlebar J is my new hang out spot! The vibe at this place is just unmatched! They also have some kick ass ribs… and these white folks know how to season their food! Yall come out in join me… just ask for Adisa! Oh… and if you are looking for a cowboy… they are here in ABUNDANCE!
