How 'Bout You?

It was the mid ’90s. The world was foundering in an ocean of sports bar wannabes and over-hyped, corporate-y, cookie-cutter bar-and-grill “systems.” A thought leader named Jim Weaver (“The Weave”) and some incredibly insightful partners believed the key to saving the world was building “Happiness Centers” filled with big TVs, great (but simple) food, friendly (but not “have-a-nice-day”-fake-y) service, and lots of cold beverages containing varying percentages of spirits.

The goal? Good Food. Great Times. Not average food and gimmicks. Not froo-froo-faux-fabulous-foodie-fare. Just a good ol’, laid-back, family-friendly (and grownup-friendly—let’s not lose that point) sports bar. Turns out this is exactly what the world needed. Jim and his partners were right. (Hooray for everyone.)
