Televised sports are best enjoyed with a belly full of meat, alcohol and large portions of things fried in grease. If the sporting action is on numerous giant screens and there are cheap hot wings to be had, all the better.
This seems to be what’s going on in the new Station Pub and Grill, which opened recently in the spot at 8235 N. Silverbell Road, which was formerly home to the short-lived Jackson’s Grille and Gastropub.
Co-owner Clint Bolin says the interior has been repainted, redesigned and redecorated to give it a more spacious feel, and that there are now 10 large televisions scattered throughout. He and his partner in the business, Amy Pappas, are shooting for a casual restaurant feel by day and a neighborhood pub at night.
The Station is kicking things off right, with .35 cent wings on Wednesdays, $5.99 burger specials on Mondays (you can add a domestic draft for a dollar more) and both happy hour and reverse happy hours on most weekdays. There are also daily specials and live music and other things that go well with drinking, eating and the like.
Bolin says the response from the neighborhood has been great so far, especially regarding the large portions the place dishes out. Call 789-7040, or visit the place on Facebook for more information.

If they don’t have good food and good service, they will fail like the others. I gave the other places multiple chances, but the food was always bad and the service was even worse. We all want a bar to succeed there, but I don’t understand why we keep getting the same thing. Good food and great service equals success. What’s so hard about that? If you don’t know this, than you have no business managing or owning a bar.
Try the Florizona Grille. They have good food and great service!
My family and I went there for lunch and it was great! My son said it was the best hamburger he had ever had. The portions were more than fair for the price and I thought the service was exceptional. I think they have done a great job decorating the place and giving it a balance family / pub feel. The owner was walking around and chatting with all the customers and it just felt like a great place to be. I will be back and I am glad they are in the neighborhood.
Thank you very much for your comments and suggestions! Kazlak, I couldn’t agree with you more. We are striving to make everyone feel very welcome as soon as they walk through the door. We hope to meet everyone who comes in and takes the time to try us out or be a valued repeat customer! As with any new business, we will have some hick ups along the way, but we are working through them at a very good pace. We are almost three weeks in and everything is starting to gel together and our policies are starting to shine through. We hope to give everyone a good experience when they come through the doors!
Thank you very much “A Happy Patron”, we couldn’t be more pleased than to hear you enjoyed your visit!
