Damn. Was pulling for this place. The owner is eccentric to say the least, but he's as big of a State fan as they come. Good food too.

Details on "going under"?

I went there the other night to meet a friend, and our group of 5 people were literally the only people there... on a Saturday.... not a good sign. beer and liquor selection were good, as was the service though...

Klatypus recommends the mozzarella stix.

That was probably the most awkward moment of my life.

with the explosion of downtown proper and the revitilization of Hillsborough Street i don't see why anyone would want to be on Avent Ferry. Bada Bar excluded.

I rather enjoyed this small, quiet space

12/6/2012 4:50:35 PM

wow, that was quick. I went a couple times and had good food both times. surprised that spot doesnt work with all the nearby apartment complexes

12/6/2012 5:12:29 PM

old owner dude was quite the character

awful breath, but a character nonetheless

I miss Jax Sports Grill in the early 2000s.

12/6/2012 5:53:05 PM

I enjoyed the few times I went there, but I never did see a lot of other people there then.

Shut-up, we're not even close to Gorman Street.

5/3/2013 2:22:42 PM

Last time I was in there, the bartender seemed pissed and annoyed to have to get off his cellphone to wait on us.

5/3/2013 2:59:09 PM

should have called Bar Rescue

Damn, they had some really outstanding bar food. Really good.

5/3/2013 5:23:29 PM

They had some good food, but the garlic fries were bad. It was literally chopped up garlic on top of fries. You got to put some parmesan in there or something.

5/3/2013 8:50:16 PM

Haven't been there in a while or very many times, but this place is awesome and has wonderful mozzarella sticks

5/5/2013 1:41:29 AM

barely hanging on. tax problems. filed bankruptcy.

5/5/2013 5:01:45 PM

Bar Rescue FTW.

5/5/2013 5:24:12 PM

The radio commercials that they started I heard once on 99.9 a couple of months back and they were pretty bad - seems like their advertising and promotions kind of killed them, I've always liked it, but its always been empty.

5/5/2013 7:46:02 PM

It is an awesome location that is in walking distance for tons of bar customers, probably just was not executed properly.

5/5/2013 7:49:48 PM

I'd imagine the demographics of the surrounding apartment complexes aren't interested in American sports, and sports-related establishments.

[Edited on May 5, 2013 at 7:55 PM. Reason : but what do I know]

5/5/2013 7:54:41 PM

seriously? tons of american college students etc live in gorman crossings. I used to walk down there regularly when it was Jax.

The biggest problem for that location is the building. It's a great location, but it's too small of a space to make it a sports bar.

5/5/2013 8:40:31 PM

It is obvious to me that the well-heeled users of TWW should rent the location so we can make it awesome. I can be the local bookie and floozy.

How about just cheap drinks and live music, trivia, karaoke, etc?

And this is what vinylbandit was talking about

An acoustic douche (even a good one) is exactly the kind of thing that keeps steady bar customers away from certain bars.

Throw in some decent, personable service and you may have a winning formula. When I walk in and you make me feel like a burden b/c you HAVE TO WAIT ON ME.

It's happened on more than one occasion

5/6/2013 5:15:24 AM

So... is this place still in business or what? I haven't been there in months, but it's right across from a friend's apartment and we're planning on stopping there for a drink this weekend in a route of birthday bars.

This is the most recent thing online for them, but when I passed by the other day they looked open/still had signs up...

Bankruptcy just protects you from your debts. You don't have to close to declare bankruptcy.

TWW tries to kill a bar that is not even dead yet??????????????????????????????????
