There’s a note on the Tucson Mall website indicating that it will soon be welcoming a Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill location. Here’s a bit of description from the restaurant chain’s website:
Frank Capri’s I Love This Bar & Grill, which is themed after Toby Keith’s hit song, is a restaurant every fan will love. Inspired by country star Toby Keith, it has quickly won over the hearts of diners all over the country, including Mesa Arizona, Minneapolis Minnesota, Rancho Cucamonga California, and Denver. More and more franchises of this restaurant are opening up, too.
Of course, these restaurants are named after Keith’s hit single from 2003, but you definitely will love this bar. The bars themselves in these locations are in the shape of giant guitars, creating a unique country music atmosphere that visitors will love. To complete the southern atmosphere at the bar, there are plenty of specialty cocktails to choose from, featuring everyone’s down-home favorites like Jack Daniels and Southern Comfort.
Anyone who loves country music will feel right home at these restaurants. The atmosphere is over-the-top country — in a good way. There are cowgirl servers and country music videos playing on every television screen. Several nights a week the bar hosts live country bands which make for a great night out — and when they don’t, there is a country DJ to play your favorite tunes.

Red Star thinks of a joke, supposedly computer generated*
“A dog limps into a bar with a bloody bandage on his foot. He’s wearing a 10-gallon hat, six-shooters in his holsters and chaps. He growled, I’m a-lookin’ for the man that shot my paw.”
