Joe's Bar and Grill offers up food and good times in a non-traditional environment. "A lot of people just come in here to talk about their lives and their careers," says Dave McLean, one of Joe's managers. "They're at the bar, or they're in a booth or a chair in the corner. It's not like other places where people are sitting and yelling across the room. They just sit and share." The atmosphere is informal. It's easy to hear someone say, "You know, I don't know if you're a genius or a fool, but you're interesting to me." There's no pressure to talk. There's no hard sell. McLean says you can feel the warmth and freedom of Joe's from the moment you walk in the door. "They're just welcoming you in. They really want you to come in and talk to them." Even if you just drop in, Joe's gives you something to talk about. McLean says there's a sense of kinship and mutual support among the people who work there, and they want others to know it. "We have some really interesting things happen here. It's not just, 'Here's my job, and here's what I'm doing. We have, in fact, a lot of people from all different walks of life who are out there doing what they do. And to be able to do that in a friendly, non-stressful work environment is a good thing." For the folks who work there, Joe's is a place to talk about what they really do. If you're interested in talking, Joe's is a great place to talk. You can meet people while you're having your hair cut and you don't have to get up early on a Sunday morning. It's interesting. Joe's gives you the opportunity to know people in a more relaxed and realistic situation than a business meeting or a casual day of golf with friends or family. It's your chance to know that most unusual person at the next table. It's your chance to find that interesting person who works in that business that you're interested in. People say you won't find that kind of atmosphere at their workplaces. Joe's is different because it's not your average workplace. Joe's is your way of not working, a place where people do what they do. At Joe's, you're not just someone's responsibility, you're not just someone's employer, you're not just someone's client. You're not just some number, some statistic that they need to meet their quotas for their budget or their budget report. You are not a statistic. For Joe's, it's OK to be you, so don't be afraid to be you. It's really a very friendly place. They're very nice people. We have some really interesting things happen here. It's not just, 'Here's my job, and here's what I'm doing. We have, in fact, a lot of people from all different walks of life who are out there doing what they do. And to be able to do that in a friendly, non-stressful work environment is a good thing. For more information on Joe's Bar and Grill, see their website at joesbarand grill.com.
