  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’m constantly running around doing a little bit of everything, so if you don’t see me just ask one of our employees, and they can find me. I also coach high school football at my alma mater, Mahomet-Seymour. In my rare spare time, I love going to concerts, sporting events and new breweries and brewpubs. I’m also a fan of good food, good beer, good liquor and good times! That’s what we strive to bring you everyday at JT Walker’s.
