Who sings i love this bar

Who would’ve thought a song can inspire its own singer into starting up a business? Yes, it’s true. Because of this song, a chain of restaurants was created.

I Love This Bar is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Toby Keith. Released in August 2003, this song became his lead off single from his album Shock ‘n Y’all. In addition, it became a Number One hit on the Billboard US Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, keeping the top spot for five weeks. Keith wrote the song with Scotty Emerick.

I Love This Bar

From the title of the song alone, the narrator describes his favorite bar and the people who frequently go to that place.

Right off the bat, Toby depicts the conditions of the clients of the bar. Apparently, it is assumed that these people come from all walks of life.

Toby loves this particular establishment. Everyone has a favorite spot they call their own and this one is his! He can relate to the atmosphere and the people. As soon as he walks through the entrance he feels happy and wants others to experience the happiness he feels from this bar.

Blue Collar mainly refers to manual laborers that had to wear clothing that was more difficult to get dirty. In contrast with white collar workers, they could wear white shirts and not look dirty. The term rednecks most probably come from the sunburns that manual laborers in the fields would get on their necks after working out in the sun all day.

Moreover, mason jars are a staple of the south. When not being used to serve beer at a bar like this, you can see them being used to store or to drink moonshine.

The song was really an epitome of how most country people live their lives — wake up, work, rest, go to a bar, and have fun. And the cycle continues.

Most noteworthy, Ray Waddell of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably calling it a “beer-joint staple for years to come.”

Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill

Because of the song, a chain of restaurants owned by Toby Keith called “Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar” came into existence. This restaurant chain is found in three different areas in the state of Oklahoma.

Especially relevant, the restaurant’s tagline is “You’re Gonna Love This Bar and Grill”. Moreover, it talks about everything about the place which is bigger and badder, just like the Big Dog Daddy himself, Toby Keith.

Furthermore, the menu reflects the same bigger & badder attitude. There’s nothing fancy, but lots of down-home favorites that are well-prepared and served by the friendly and efficient staff.

Eighteen years ago today (Nov. 15, 2003), Toby Keith earned his 12th No. 1 single with "I Love This Bar," but chances are good that he had no idea just how much the song would affect his life.

Written by Keith and Scotty Emerick, "I Love This Bar" describes the patrons of a local bar, who include "winners, losers, chain smokers and boozers." It was accompanied by a music video shot at a bar in Chatsworth, Calif., called the Cowboy Palace Saloon.

"I Love This Bar," which was the debut single from Keith's Shock'n Y'all album, stayed at the top of the charts for a total of five weeks. But more importantly, it spawned an entirely new business for the singer, who launched his own restaurant chain, Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill; Keith opened the first one in his home state of Oklahoma in 2005.

Still, Keith insists that his first focus is still making music: "I definitely didn't get into this business to open restaurants," he tells CMT.

This story was originally written by Gayle Thompson, and revised by Annie Zaleski.
