Hello, Toby Keith
Details about a Toby Keith bar and grill opening at Victoria Gardens have been hard to come by. Messages left to the Keith camp via the Victoria Gardens folks and at the Mesa, Ariz. location have not been returned. Victoria Gardens officials say they aren't authorized to talk about it yet. But Planning Director James Troyer said the restaurant's entertainment permit application will be on the Planning Commission agenda next Wednesday.Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill is expected to take over the nearly 16,000 square feet of space left vacant by West Elm. The home furnishing spin-off of Williams-Sonoma had a three-year run in the location that sits across from Lucille's and next to Urban Outfitters.
If Toby Keith is successful here, it might have something to do with its moniker "I (heart) This Bar and Grill." City Hall might consider renaming the Council Chambers to "I (heart) This City Council meeting."
Attractive and unemployed people might be happy about this new country music themed restaurant. According to the Mesa restaurant website, customers can "order from our 85-foot guitar-shaped bar or have one of our beautiful Whiskey Girls take care of you. Our waitresses and bartenders are some of the hottest in the valley."
The Mesa location also boasts Toby, the mechanical bull. Giddy'up.
Do you think the Planning Commission will love this bar and grill?
Does anyone have an idea of when they could start the hiring process?
Emily, the restaurant plans on opening in November and will start the hiring process a month before with a job fair. I would contact Victoria Gardens, check out the Toby Keith website or walk by the restaurant at the end of summer/fall to find out more information.
Toby thank you so much for entertaining our solders. God bless you
Do we have a date yet for I Love this Bar and Grill?
I don't have a date for you, Jennie. But a city official says March or April.
