In Short
Classic Western chow, cooked the cowboy way, fills the menu. Ribs are a favorite, steaks are also a popular choice and kids love the juicy burgers. Vegetarians--scarce in the Old West--will be hard-pressed to find a… Read Full Editorial

This place is hopping, I had a great time in here with some of my friends, love the shots and the music that they play certainly drop the bass in so many ways.
so cool! by Ric V via Insider Pages on 3/6/2013
One of my favorite low-key, great live music, good people places to go on any night of the week. There's always a good live band, sometimes with as many as 8 peices jamming in perfect harmony or just one solo artist sitting with a piano…

Great place to let out your 'country!' by L H via Insider Pages on 5/9/2009
This is a great place to go to if you're in the mood for country music and two-steppin'! It gets a little packed, but the atmosphere is always fun! Everyone's out to have a good time - no drama that I've ever seen, which is a plus in my…
Best Place to Go Dancing! by Amanda P via Insider Pages on 11/16/2008
Handlebar J's is the best place in Scottsdale to go dancing. I LOVE IT. The only problem is - so does everyone else! It's always packed, ususally so packed you can't get on the dance floor.
Good, for country by RoundTownGuy via Citysearch on 2/15/2008
A friend and I stopped by here last weekend and, while I'm not a fan of country, I must admit the place was a lot of fun. Very informal, with a nice crowd. I would have liked more food on the plate for the money but it was more edible than…
Country bar by M P via Insider Pages on 10/20/2007
Handle Bar J's is a very fun country bar owned by the Herdon family for years. You can dance to live music and have a great time at this family owned bar. Food is pretty descent to.
The is alot of good and also alot of bad!! by azlilbitty via Citysearch on 10/2/2007
Well, I used to work there as a server and I can honestly say for the most part the Bartenders are great and I still rave about the ribs, steak on a stick but that one special bartender needs some serious medication. For the most part it…
Avoid totally by texas1991 via Citysearch on 8/4/2007
If you are looking for decent food you'd be better off looking in the garbage. DO NOT EAT HERE. Five of us ate here on 3 Aug. My wife ordered rare steak. It cost $20.00 or $25.00 and was maybe 6 oz of microwave gray material that did…

Country's best kept secret by Krabalot_99 via Citysearch on 1/24/2003
I was recently introduced to Handlebar J. I love everything about it!!! The staff, band, and owner, Gwen, are all so hospitabable. After my first time in, everyone knew my name and drink, I felt like I was at Cheers.
arrogant no talent bartenders by PSHArizona via Citysearch on 9/8/2002
As a patron of Handlebar J's it was unfortunate to witness the rudeness of the bartenders there. I have personally seen them telling a customer if he did not tip to get out of the seat so some one else could sit down that would tip. I know…
