Here’s when the new Jay’s Sports Lounge will open in Aquia Town Center

NORTH STAFFORD — A second location of Jay’s Sports Lounge will open soon in the spot formerly located by Mick’s Lounge in North Stafford. Jay’s Downtown Sports Lounge has been a staple of the downtown Fredericksburg nightlife since 2014.

Company president Sanjay Sharma is excited to bring Jay’s experience to North Stafford. Jay’s Sports Lounge will be serving up American fare along with beer, wine, and cocktails.

“Diners can expect a wow factor. The food is going to be dynamite, not just your usual sports bar food. We will have chef-oriented food, made fresh from scratch,” Sharma said.

Sharma has several chefs working on finalizing their menus right now. They are planning business hours of 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. and will serve lunch, happy hour, dinner and late night fare.  They may add breakfast if they see a demand for it in the Stafford community.

They do not yet have an opening date set, but Sharma anticipates they will open in three to four more weeks.

“It’s not going to be an ordinary sports bar. It’s a very special sports bar and I want everybody to come and try it at least one time,” Sharma said.

“We have over 52 TVs, a pool table and dart board, plus excellent quality food,” he continued.

Sharma plans to have a soft and grand opening once they bring all of the finishing touches together on the restaurant. Keep an eye on their Facebook or visit their website for more announcements about grand opening festivities.  

The second Jay’s Lounge will be located at 2866 Jefferson Davis Highway, at Aquia Town Center.

The former Micks Sports Lounge, owned by Mick Lay, closed last fall.
