Amarillo restaurants have had to make some changes. Some changes happened because of the pandemic. Restaurants learned how to operate solely as a place to get food to go. Laws loosened up regarding to-go alcohol.

Changes are just a part of life. Some are good and some are bad. There is a change coming to Soncy that I think is going to be a good change for the area. J's Bar and Grill at 3130 S Soncy is going through some changes again.

The location was once a Zookinii's back in 2007. They changed to Jake's Bar and Grill. They then became 7 Bar and Grill until an unfortunate Facebook post came out about a salad they served there.

That is when J's Bar and Grill was born. They have stayed that way for the past five years or so. Now change is coming—big changes. The first change was introducing their new Facebook page.

Soon J's Bar and Grill will become 9th Inning Brews & Bites. They are going to be doing more than just changing their name.

They are under new management. So changes right there. They are getting a face-lift. Oh, and what about the menu? Of course that is going to be new too. Sometimes change is good to bring new life.

I think this is something that is going to be good for Amarillo. Only time will tell. I will be keeping an eye on this location for sure. Definitely can't wait to see what the new menu will consist of.

Hopefully, this location will be here for good. Nothing wrong with a new place to watch the game and have
