Justin Taylor
Owner/General Manager, jtaylor@jtwalkers.com - Hi, I’m Justin or JT, but I get called Jason, TJ, and Mr. Walker, a lot, so I’ll probably answer to any of them. I own the bar, which means I am constantly running around doing a little bit of everything, so if you don’t see me just ask one of the employees and they will find me! In my spare time I love going to concerts, sporting events, and breweries and brewpubs. I am a fan of good food, good beer, good liquor, and good times! That is what we strive to provide you every day at JT Walker’s.
If you want to schedule a party or event, please email us at events@jtwalkers.com.
