In Short – This Southwestern bar and grill feeds a spendy midtown crowd with smoked chicken wings, bone-in rib eyes and enchilada pies, all washed down with plenty of suds. But food is hardly the focus: A bucking bronco is the room's centerpiece. At regular intervals in the night, city slickers try their hand at riding the furry beast before getting thrown, but don't expect much of a sultry Urban Cowboy spectacle--the abrupt turns make for a jerky ride, affording plenty of laughs for good buddies.

AMAZING SCENE
by ABDC
I went here with a bunch of my friends last weekend, the scene was unreal. Had no idea such an attractive and fun crowd would be here. Went back this week and it was just as good. Will definitely go back again - astoundingly hot crowd!

The Details on Johnny Utah's
Look Good:
Participants sign a waiver and take off their shoes before mounting the bull. Ladies (and dudes, too)---be sure to wear pants.
What to Drink:
More than 50 tequilas are on-hand to soothe pre-ride jitters.
The Extras:
Housed in a former bank, the restaurant hosts private parties in the preserved vault (complete with safety deposit boxes), though the bar, assorted tables and lounging areas afford much better views of the bronco action.
