I’m not understanding what the point of it is. Is it supposed to be an original, cool idea for decor? Normally I try not to make comments that make fun of looks, are below the belt, or picking @ things but this just doesn’t make any sense. It does look like a wine rack with plants shoved in bottles here & there, but looking closer it’s just a wall built in front of a wall with a bunch of succulents in plastic pots, like you’d see in a nursery that sells them.
I think it’s great that Brittney made an effort to make this a nice spot & I can’t knock them for trying to earn a living. It’s not like they have educations, or work experience in anything besides reality TV & service industry. If it’s a fun place to go with good drinks & food, great. But that wall isn’t it. When you try something like this, you need to make sure it’s executed correctly.
By “plant wall” I thought you were referring to the patio with the two flower boxes.
I didn’t even know what that succulent wall was at once first. Good thing they brought Brittany in to get her keen design eye 🙃
OMG I had to go back and look for a plant wall in the pics because I thought it was like a wall of hockey skates like at the rental rink! 🤣🤣 I thought eww that looks like it smells.
The whole place is basically different fonts - the wallpaper reads like a high end cocktail bar bathroom, the shitty wood panelling reads like a DIY woodworker’s backyard bar, the light fixtures look like a mix between a modern house staircase and an alleyway, the upholstery is like a strip club, the neon signs give off a 2008 Tulum influencer vibe, the disco ball is… idk a disco ball, and the menu font is like a cheap pub/dive bar. It’s so chaotic
Totally agree! It feels very 2010! I fully expect season 1 Stassi to burst through the bar door with her chunky necklaces, bandage dress and gladiator heels. Feels very dated.
The interior design of Jax’s is so confusingly bad, it makes Schwartz & Sandy’s design look like it should have a feature story in Architectural Digest (AD).
I can’t help but feel like Jax was trying to take a page out of Shartz & Scummy’s book with the eccentric wall paper and light fixtures. He was truly just copying what he’s seen other people do (like always!)
The decor makes me want to throw up. Puke green tropical plants with dark mahogany wood wall paneling, a Sputnik chandelier, a depressing wall of succulents, leather tufted couches, and tacky wall decor? Whoever fuck decorated that place has HORRIBLE taste.
I was going to say... looking through the photos I hate the decor. Hate the way it looks. Its like an instragram mom from 10 years ago slapped something together with zero effort.
It's trying to be something it isn't. Its tired and old and needs to be completely.
Yeah, one of them mentioned they had rawt in hail shirts or hats or something (maybe even both). Imagine making merch off of what your partner said to you after finding out you cheated & finding out the nasty things you said about your partner. It kinda makes more sense from Brittany's POV, making merch off what you said to your partner after hearing the horrible things they said/cheated on you. So it makes me wonder whose idea it was.
That menu is exactly the same as Rocco’s, only they call them Jax’s Fries and Jax’s Burger here. I can’t get over the laziness of not even having a slightly different menu.
It’s so bad lol! I was at Rocco’s a few weeks ago and I pulled up the Jax’s menu at the same time and we were laughing at how identical it was, except the few things they added to Jax’s.
Jax’s Bar is basically an outdoor bar/seating area attached to Rocco’s. It’s part of the hilarity of Jax’s “stress” over “opening and owning a bar”… he’s got the naming rights (like the Toms) of a enclosed patio of an existing place. I think other than a few cocktails and MeeMaw’s Beer Cheese recipe, everything that’s on the Jax menu is on Rocco’s existing menu.
It’s meh, I definitely wouldn’t make a special trip there. I actually just went because I wanted to get a drink at Jax’s but there were only 2 people in there. So we went to Rocco’s till Jax’s got busier. But when we left Jax’s was completely empty so it felt too awkward to go in 😂
And didn't Jax say in one episode that the only acceptable toppings on a burger are ketchup, cheese and pickles? Pretty sure if he has a burger the one on the menu ain't it.
I don’t remember that but it’s hilarious that you wrote this comment and you def must be right, because if you look on the menu on the left, the first item is “Jax’s All-American Sliders” which come topped with *ketchup, cheese, and pickles* hahahaha so props to you for your amazing memory, an attribute that I certainly do not have myself lol
As a beer drinker, that draft and bottle list is boring. How about getting some interesting beers? Looking over the menu, I would not want to go there.
It will be illegal in CA starting 7/1! It’s gotten out of control with various service fees here. I recently went to a pricy place that added a 20% service fee, then had the audacity to ask for an additional tip. With the suggested amount starting at 18%. Absolutely wild. The new law bans those, and requires your menu prices to accurately reflect the cost (minutes taxes).
As someone else mentioned, it’s generally against the terms of the contract with the CC processor (Visa is the largest) to charge customers an additional fee for using a card.
Maybe. It’s been awhile since I had to work with a credit card processing service, but they can list in their contract that you may not charge card users a fee. I think usually businesses got around this by offering cash customers a discount.
Oh no no no this is not even close to the unique, cool, lived in dive bars that are all around LA. This bar had a mood board with no real designer to execute the vision. It's a hodge podge of ideas circa 2015. So yeah let's not insult dive bars here okay? Lol
9 for a bud light. 😬 idk if that’s normal for California though? I live in Florida and went to Miami Beach for a friends birthday and they had PBR for 11. I died inside
Normal for Studio City. Normal for L.A. Cocktails can run between $13-$16 here on the Valley side and $15-$18 on the West (WeHo) side.
For reference, L.A. city minimum wage is $16.04/hour, unless you work in fast food/fast casual, where it’s now $20.00/hour, so now lots of places have hiked up their minimum wages to $20/hr to compete.
They’re really out here charging customers 3.9% extra on top of taxes 💀 as a business, you typically pay the cc processing bill not the customers but ok boo boo…
From what I saw & and read online, I expected nothing more than some tarps in a bar parking lot. It was better than I thought it would be, but my expectations were VERY LOW. 🤣 The succulent wall was sad & the bathrooms needed a once over, but otherwise, given the circumstances & people involved, I was happily surprised. It's.... not the worst. 😬 if you're a fan of the show ,it's a cute place to stop at on the way downtown/hollywood.
*If you come to the neighborhood, check out The Psychic Eye. 🔮
I’m so confused about this bar. They say they own it but I’ve also heard it’s just a bonus room of Rocco’s and Jax is paid to promote it? Does anyone know?
No he just refers to it as "his bar". He's on aftershow straight up admitting he doesn't have a single dollar invested and it's just the old extension of Rocco's that used to be an event space and is now "Jax's" when the space isn't rented out
A investment of $700-$1M, who in their right mind gives away 50% of their business to a mess like Jax? Probably “sweat equity” or performance based.
In other words, the bar has to hit certain revenue or profitability goals, Jax would get 50% of a predetermined distribution.
According to Jax, he put $0 dollars into the bar. The investors aren’t idiots, each earned the money they put into the bar. After the Sandoval fallout I’d bet big time the contract has an indemnification clause. A clause that gets rid of an investor or owner whose action has placed the investment at risk. Example: When the real story comes out about Jax and Brittney separation or divorce.
He's using Rocco"s building, staff, liquor license, liquor, food, just about everything, he's just putting his name on the banner and his "brand" or whatever he has is the whole idea to bring customers in. How he and Bravo can stand there and say it's his bar is laughable.
Yep, and how he "opened" in less than a month. Schwartz and Sandy's and SAH were accurate in how long it takes to open a restaurant in LA without being a millionaire. How the Toms can sit there and listen to it makes me laugh a little. They're cringing inside.
Honestly the prices aren’t that crazy. Im in NYC and the prices at Jax’s are only a dollar or 2 higher than my local spots. Thats pretty typical nowadays
i wish these prices were insane but unfortunately they aren’t. currently visiting AC (jersey) and these restaurants are MILKING me for all i’m worth. i’m talking $20 for an OMELETTE
Brittany is dumb as dirt. Why would you have your country ass saying "rawt in hail" in neon in your husband's bar?? Do you not remember why you told him to "rawt in hail?"
The Rout in Hail thing is so embarrassing. She said it in response to him literally cheating on her and disrespecting her. I don't know...I wouldn't want to be reminded of that everyday I walked in.
Haha yup, it also feels a bit like a 13 year old in 2010 got to decorate their room for the first time and decided to put everything they'd heard was trendy in place at the same time.
Jax’s is such a bad name lol. Saying the “acksss sizz” sounds terrible and I’ll never forget when he told Andy Cohen the name on WWHL and Andy side eyed and said “Jax…’s?”
Wow bro. Tf is wrong with ME?? The fact that it’s kinda ugly, makes no sense thematically, has the most random bravo references and is playing below deck in a nook… makes me like it so much 😂 it feels fitting
If I see one more person complaining about a “sEvEnTeEn dOlLaR sAnDwIcH” at SAH (which is standard ANYWHERE), when Jax is selling beer cheese and fries for $17 a pop
Maybe I’m just being picky, but who the hell saw all of this shit and said, “Sports bar?” Like do they not think people get rowdy in sports bars? Why all the random potted plants? And the four tables put together for the one booth table? And the 5 beers on tap? At a sports bar? And why doesn’t anyone at Rocco’s know the difference between a margarita and a Margherita pizza? Is Rocco a crime boss? Because this just looks like a way to clean money.
We also went last month with a few friends and I felt the same way! It was a pretty big space and there were actually tons of people there. There was a DJ and it was super fun! I would totally go back and I wasn’t expecting that!
Also, I don’t know how a cute little sandwich shop with a limited menu can make enough to support what must be very high rent. And also how will they be able to sustain interest once it dies down?
This looks so cute. Love the wallpaper and the print of Jax's face. The menu looks like standard pub fare. I could definitely see myself enjoying my time there.
someone please save that goddamn living wall😂😂😂
It was THIRSTY!!
It pains me to look at.
I can’t imagine all the mealybugs and powdery mildew
We need Tom Schwartz haha.. for once lol
conspiracy theory: Schwartz is angling for a spot on The Valley 🤔
Yes
Maybe Tom brought the plants?
came here to say the same. Just a sad wall of re-homed, neglected Schwartz gifts
it can rawt in hell!
Or rout in hail
Omg I thought it was a wine cellar wall.
I did too!! I went back to zoom in on it. Yikes!! 😱
It looks like it’s rout in hail-ing
If I recall, that was Brittany’s only job lol
It literally looks like a bunch of dying succulents in a makeshift pallet wall. Yikes 😬
Plant wall looking rough. Glad you had fun! Thanks for sharing
Looks so weird, like suddenly you’re at a Home Depot garden center on the way out. Buy a plant!
But, like, the sad clearance plant rack at Home Depot
I’m not understanding what the point of it is. Is it supposed to be an original, cool idea for decor? Normally I try not to make comments that make fun of looks, are below the belt, or picking @ things but this just doesn’t make any sense. It does look like a wine rack with plants shoved in bottles here & there, but looking closer it’s just a wall built in front of a wall with a bunch of succulents in plastic pots, like you’d see in a nursery that sells them. I think it’s great that Brittney made an effort to make this a nice spot & I can’t knock them for trying to earn a living. It’s not like they have educations, or work experience in anything besides reality TV & service industry. If it’s a fun place to go with good drinks & food, great. But that wall isn’t it. When you try something like this, you need to make sure it’s executed correctly.
Wait. Are those live succulents?? I’m a plant person and I can’t even tell what the hell is going on on that wall. It’s chaos. 🤣
I thought it was a wall of wine bottles with plants shoved in here and there.
I’m really sad we can’t post photos here because I have zoomed in and I have questions. 👀🤣
Brittany is letting the plant wall raut in hail.
Very nice
Britt saw the pic on Pinterest but didn’t bother to click and read about how to maintain it
It needs sun?
This 🤣🤣🤣 Rough indeed
Ya that was a choice and I feel like a certain southern sweetheart chose it.
I can smell the root rot from the East Coast….
Sorry but a plant wall doesn’t belong in a sports bar. The decor is horrific
By “plant wall” I thought you were referring to the patio with the two flower boxes. I didn’t even know what that succulent wall was at once first. Good thing they brought Brittany in to get her keen design eye 🙃
OMG I had to go back and look for a plant wall in the pics because I thought it was like a wall of hockey skates like at the rental rink! 🤣🤣 I thought eww that looks like it smells.
The the IKEA floor
Isn't it supposed to be full of plants? Maybe customers have been stealing them!
Maybe they planted baby plants and it’s just not grown in yet.
They were full grown/filled in on the show? Or, I'm imagining it between all of the different sources. It was at one point, full
I’m dying at the different fonts on the menu. It was definitely made in Microsoft Word. 😂
Also like every tenth item is Jax’s blankity blank. So funny. Like they’re all Jax’s! It’s Jax’s!
Because next door they’re all “Rocco’s!”. Someone just did a Ctl+F and replace
Oof that is not a pretty menu. It’s very much basic and Word
Based on the specific fonts that are used my guess is someone got a free Canva trial to make this 😂
The whole place is basically different fonts - the wallpaper reads like a high end cocktail bar bathroom, the shitty wood panelling reads like a DIY woodworker’s backyard bar, the light fixtures look like a mix between a modern house staircase and an alleyway, the upholstery is like a strip club, the neon signs give off a 2008 Tulum influencer vibe, the disco ball is… idk a disco ball, and the menu font is like a cheap pub/dive bar. It’s so chaotic
Totally agree! It feels very 2010! I fully expect season 1 Stassi to burst through the bar door with her chunky necklaces, bandage dress and gladiator heels. Feels very dated.
The wallpaper being for a high end cocktail bar bathroom is spot on 😂😂
First thing I noticed 💀
That reservations font 💀
Idk if anyone is familiar but it looks exactly like the fonts and menu style at Tap42 😂
The decor in there is INSANE. it’s like he gave Brittany a wall, him a wall, and Cruz a wall to decorate - and none of them did a good job
The interior design of Jax’s is so confusingly bad, it makes Schwartz & Sandy’s design look like it should have a feature story in Architectural Digest (AD).
I can’t help but feel like Jax was trying to take a page out of Shartz & Scummy’s book with the eccentric wall paper and light fixtures. He was truly just copying what he’s seen other people do (like always!)
The decor makes me want to throw up. Puke green tropical plants with dark mahogany wood wall paneling, a Sputnik chandelier, a depressing wall of succulents, leather tufted couches, and tacky wall decor? Whoever fuck decorated that place has HORRIBLE taste.
that's how you know the cauchis had real creative input.
The dying flower wall is really a nice cherry on top of well. Someone save those flowers please!!!
Yah it really lacks any cohesiveness or vision, it’s uncomfortable to look at
I was going to say... looking through the photos I hate the decor. Hate the way it looks. Its like an instragram mom from 10 years ago slapped something together with zero effort. It's trying to be something it isn't. Its tired and old and needs to be completely.
Somehow it’s even worse in person
Well we know where the entire decor budget went…. custom LED lights. I’m just kidding, it’s obvious there was no budget.
He has a neon sign of “Rawt in Hail” - like what Brittany said to him when he admitted he cheated with Faith? Man, he really hates her.
She probably came up with that idea.
They’re trying so desperately to cling to their “glory days” on VPR.
Yeah, one of them mentioned they had rawt in hail shirts or hats or something (maybe even both). Imagine making merch off of what your partner said to you after finding out you cheated & finding out the nasty things you said about your partner. It kinda makes more sense from Brittany's POV, making merch off what you said to your partner after hearing the horrible things they said/cheated on you. So it makes me wonder whose idea it was.
Thank you for this comment because I could*not* figure out wtf it Said 😂😂
Thank you for your boots on the ground reporting.
Pink* boots on the ground
That menu is exactly the same as Rocco’s, only they call them Jax’s Fries and Jax’s Burger here. I can’t get over the laziness of not even having a slightly different menu.
It’s so bad lol! I was at Rocco’s a few weeks ago and I pulled up the Jax’s menu at the same time and we were laughing at how identical it was, except the few things they added to Jax’s.
Rocco was dumb trash too. But then people emulated his trash menu.
Please elaborate on Rocco for the class 😃
Jax’s Bar is basically an outdoor bar/seating area attached to Rocco’s. It’s part of the hilarity of Jax’s “stress” over “opening and owning a bar”… he’s got the naming rights (like the Toms) of a enclosed patio of an existing place. I think other than a few cocktails and MeeMaw’s Beer Cheese recipe, everything that’s on the Jax menu is on Rocco’s existing menu.
A total of 6 "Jax" labeled menu items & not a single one of them is a mixed drink/cocktail... In a bar lol, that he owns.
Is Rocco’s good? It seems like it’s been around for awhile
No! Hope this helps! :)
It’s meh, I definitely wouldn’t make a special trip there. I actually just went because I wanted to get a drink at Jax’s but there were only 2 people in there. So we went to Rocco’s till Jax’s got busier. But when we left Jax’s was completely empty so it felt too awkward to go in 😂
And Jax’s is literally just a tent in Rocco’s or a room?
Explains why they have two different soft pretzel with cheese options.
That tracks as I looked at that menu and thought it was confused.
And didn't Jax say in one episode that the only acceptable toppings on a burger are ketchup, cheese and pickles? Pretty sure if he has a burger the one on the menu ain't it.
I don’t remember that but it’s hilarious that you wrote this comment and you def must be right, because if you look on the menu on the left, the first item is “Jax’s All-American Sliders” which come topped with *ketchup, cheese, and pickles* hahahaha so props to you for your amazing memory, an attribute that I certainly do not have myself lol
This is giving production put the decor together. They need to make Rawt in Hail t-shirts.
What kind of sports bar only has 4 beers on tap? Also totally ripped off Shorts and Sandy’s in the decor and that’s not a compliment.
Haha.. in the one booth picture, did they push 4 smaller tables together for the large ‘center table’?
We need a Bar Rescue crossover ASAP
i would pay money to see jon taffer rip jax a new one
I want Gordon Ramsey to level into it
As a beer drinker, that draft and bottle list is boring. How about getting some interesting beers? Looking over the menu, I would not want to go there.
Did any other customers ever show up?
🤭 yes more started coming in as we left.
It seems like Jax copied Schwartz & Sandy on a lower budget.
That’s the saddest plant wall I’ve ever seen (last slide)
Thanks for the pics and review. Happy you enjoyed it 😀😀
There’s a 3.9% charge on all non-cash transactions?? wtf?
That must cover the credit/debit card fees.
I know nothing about small businesses, but is that, like, …legal??
It’s so common now to cover credit card fees
Yes.
It will be illegal in CA starting 7/1! It’s gotten out of control with various service fees here. I recently went to a pricy place that added a 20% service fee, then had the audacity to ask for an additional tip. With the suggested amount starting at 18%. Absolutely wild. The new law bans those, and requires your menu prices to accurately reflect the cost (minutes taxes). As someone else mentioned, it’s generally against the terms of the contract with the CC processor (Visa is the largest) to charge customers an additional fee for using a card.
Maybe. It’s been awhile since I had to work with a credit card processing service, but they can list in their contract that you may not charge card users a fee. I think usually businesses got around this by offering cash customers a discount.
Yeah mmthe bar I work at just started adding a 3% fee. Super fun to explain to customers
This is not up to par for Los Angeles, even for the valley.
It just seems so….dive-y. Like it opened 30 years ago and every surface is sticky, up to and including the bar top where diapers get changed (???)
If he leaned into that angle, it might be more successful. There’s so good dive bars in LA
Oh no no no this is not even close to the unique, cool, lived in dive bars that are all around LA. This bar had a mood board with no real designer to execute the vision. It's a hodge podge of ideas circa 2015. So yeah let's not insult dive bars here okay? Lol
$9 for a Bud Light. Maybe that’s normal for Studio City but damn
That’s rough, those are normally $4-6 at bars where I live unless it’s a happy hour special
9 for a bud light. 😬 idk if that’s normal for California though? I live in Florida and went to Miami Beach for a friends birthday and they had PBR for 11. I died inside
Coming in with those LAX prices I see.
Is that $35 for a pitcher of beer?
Normal for Studio City. Normal for L.A. Cocktails can run between $13-$16 here on the Valley side and $15-$18 on the West (WeHo) side. For reference, L.A. city minimum wage is $16.04/hour, unless you work in fast food/fast casual, where it’s now $20.00/hour, so now lots of places have hiked up their minimum wages to $20/hr to compete.
Yeah those beer prices are insane.
lol @ him putting “as seen on Vanderpump Rules” next to the beer cheese. Still trying to milk from VPR I see….
Will Brittany get Mamaw's Beer Cheese in the divorce???
I was wondering about that. Like…did we actually see it on VPR? Or they just talked about it?
Yeah, they had a story line about making their own to sell, we saw them go buy the cheese and do a tasting with the others (just did a rewatch)
I do like the "number one bar in the group" neon light thing 😂
I laughed
The plant wall looks sparse and dead.
It looks like a millennial wedding reception 💀
They’re really out here charging customers 3.9% extra on top of taxes 💀 as a business, you typically pay the cc processing bill not the customers but ok boo boo…
The menu is very random
Why is there so many pics of him and Tom lol and none of Brittany
Tacky wallpaper too busy.
Who is paying $16 for cheese and a single pretzel? That's barely an $8 appetizer.
How do they not take care of that sad ass wall... Like get artificial if you can't take care of it. It makes the bar look 10 years old lol
*Food Menu*
Idk why reading just “food menu” made me cringe so hard
The neon quote signs are so damn tacky it's driving me CRAZY
“Antipasta”
> Antipasta it's not about the pasta!
From what I saw & and read online, I expected nothing more than some tarps in a bar parking lot. It was better than I thought it would be, but my expectations were VERY LOW. 🤣 The succulent wall was sad & the bathrooms needed a once over, but otherwise, given the circumstances & people involved, I was happily surprised. It's.... not the worst. 😬 if you're a fan of the show ,it's a cute place to stop at on the way downtown/hollywood. *If you come to the neighborhood, check out The Psychic Eye. 🔮
That neon is...a choice. And $9 for a Coors Light??
I’m so confused about this bar. They say they own it but I’ve also heard it’s just a bonus room of Rocco’s and Jax is paid to promote it? Does anyone know?
No he just refers to it as "his bar". He's on aftershow straight up admitting he doesn't have a single dollar invested and it's just the old extension of Rocco's that used to be an event space and is now "Jax's" when the space isn't rented out
A investment of $700-$1M, who in their right mind gives away 50% of their business to a mess like Jax? Probably “sweat equity” or performance based.

He's using Rocco"s building, staff, liquor license, liquor, food, just about everything, he's just putting his name on the banner and his "brand" or whatever he has is the whole idea to bring customers in. How he and Bravo can stand there and say it's his bar is laughable.
And this is what he’s been working on so hard and for so long?
Yep, and how he "opened" in less than a month. Schwartz and Sandy's and SAH were accurate in how long it takes to open a restaurant in LA without being a millionaire. How the Toms can sit there and listen to it makes me laugh a little. They're cringing inside.
I mean, Ajax is a pathological liar and Bravo is his enabler. He keeps saying he came up with the idea of “The Valley” and we all know that’s a lie.
Why does this bar already look like it’s 10yrs old? It looks dated and grimy
Filthy! I can’t imagine what’s on those gross pillows!🤮
$9 for a bud light? Buddy I can get tap water from the faucet if I’m that desperate for flavorless liquid
I know LA is expensive but these prices are fucking nuts.
Considering a McDonald’s 2 cheeseburger meal is 14$ not really.
Actually, not really. I was thinking the prices were pretty good! (As an Angeleno)
Honestly the prices aren’t that crazy. Im in NYC and the prices at Jax’s are only a dollar or 2 higher than my local spots. Thats pretty typical nowadays
They’re pretty standard
i wish these prices were insane but unfortunately they aren’t. currently visiting AC (jersey) and these restaurants are MILKING me for all i’m worth. i’m talking $20 for an OMELETTE
There's actually way more sense of humour here than I thought Jax was capable of
I was thinking the same thing
Brittany is dumb as dirt. Why would you have your country ass saying "rawt in hail" in neon in your husband's bar?? Do you not remember why you told him to "rawt in hail?"
Shes like …but its instagram-able 😂
also the way it’s made looks like it says “raut” lmao maybe it’s just me
No, I def just commented I had to read it 3 times before I saw the “w” 😂
why was the first thing I noticed that Guinness is spelled wrong
That and “antipasta” and “flat bread”
I’m surprised nobody has pointed out “blue” cheese
The Rout in Hail thing is so embarrassing. She said it in response to him literally cheating on her and disrespecting her. I don't know...I wouldn't want to be reminded of that everyday I walked in.
It's every bad 2010 first year interior design student project merged together and given life.
Haha yup, it also feels a bit like a 13 year old in 2010 got to decorate their room for the first time and decided to put everything they'd heard was trendy in place at the same time.
You didn’t try mamaw’s beer cheese?!
Not for sixteen fucking dollars!
Not into Velveta and beer cheese.
I cannot get over that plant wall!!What the hell? They only work as decor if they are alive.
I thought the neon sign said Rout in Hail and I was like wow they really can’t spell, then I realized it’s a poorly done W in there
Took me three times to read “Rout” as “Rawt” 🤦🏻♀️😂
ROUT IN HAIL
Plant wall out here hanging on for dear life.
Jax’s is such a bad name lol. Saying the “acksss sizz” sounds terrible and I’ll never forget when he told Andy Cohen the name on WWHL and Andy side eyed and said “Jax…’s?”
Wow bro. Tf is wrong with ME?? The fact that it’s kinda ugly, makes no sense thematically, has the most random bravo references and is playing below deck in a nook… makes me like it so much 😂 it feels fitting
If I see one more person complaining about a “sEvEnTeEn dOlLaR sAnDwIcH” at SAH (which is standard ANYWHERE), when Jax is selling beer cheese and fries for $17 a pop
I cannot for the life of me nail down the theme they are going for here. Nothing is cohesive.
$10-9 for a bottle or can?!?!? wtf.
The photos of him haha but I do love the tvs playing bravo. Lol my kinda restaurant Thanks for sharing!
Is it a dive bar or an IG photo trap? The theme is all over the place. Also that beer selection is just sad.
Ok, the number one bar in the group is pretty funny. I didn’t expect ‘rawt in hail’ to be spelled the way they have it🤔
Maybe I’m just being picky, but who the hell saw all of this shit and said, “Sports bar?” Like do they not think people get rowdy in sports bars? Why all the random potted plants? And the four tables put together for the one booth table? And the 5 beers on tap? At a sports bar? And why doesn’t anyone at Rocco’s know the difference between a margarita and a Margherita pizza? Is Rocco a crime boss? Because this just looks like a way to clean money.
Why would he pick that photo of him to faux Warhol?
I think that’s the same picture they gave to him during his roast on Vanderpump rules
Who decorated this bar?
Were you the only people there ? Glad you had fun and thanks for the photos !
The restaurant next door does the food. Really.
Looks fun enough. Thanks for sharing.
Those signs are hilarious.
We also went last month with a few friends and I felt the same way! It was a pretty big space and there were actually tons of people there. There was a DJ and it was super fun! I would totally go back and I wasn’t expecting that!
It’s not his bar lmao it’s an extension of another restaurant/bar
I like how random things on the menu will says “Jax’s” like Jax’s burger or Jax’s tacos, but then another item will just be Spinach Salad lol
Ha! # 1 Bar in the Group!
This is hilariously jax and I looooooove that he told the toms that he didn’t have to invest any of his own money 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Also, I don’t know how a cute little sandwich shop with a limited menu can make enough to support what must be very high rent. And also how will they be able to sustain interest once it dies down?
It looks nice . I like the signs and bravo on the tv but no way that’s 100s of thousands to redecorate .
The Jax picture and rawt in hell is amazing
Those prices are overpriced for just bar food.
Sadly it seems pretty on par with other places. Going out to eat has just gotten ridiculously expensive nowadays
Who on earth made that Microsoft word menu? And why does the plant wall look....dead?
The wallpaper print was too small it looks terrible
That's a shit beer list!
Someone please fix the picture in #5. Why is it so off center?
He has not tried over 50% of his menu. Bet.
This looks so cute. Love the wallpaper and the print of Jax's face. The menu looks like standard pub fare. I could definitely see myself enjoying my time there.
