Established in 1982

by Jim Russell the original owner

of Jim's Vista Lounge.
Jim's goal was to build a safe...fun....friendly hangout for 

the guys from work could

come grab a cold beer or cocktail after a long day & bring their wives in for

cocktails on Friday night after dinner. 

While Jim's name is on the bar, Jim's wife Sandra 
ran the bar with an iron fist & loving heart.

Since the day Jim's opened the doors 35 years ago it was an instant success, 
& still going strong.

​

Due to the family inviting feeling you get when you visit, &

the lively upbeat vibe you

get when you walk in the door. 

Jim & Sandi have always gone out of their way to

assure their patrons, friends, family are taken care of. 

 

Jim & Sandi sold the bar to their youngest of 4 children Kelly in 2016.

Kelly along with her husband

Gene Elwell, have since made some minor changes and

plan on making improvements.

 

But one thing remains the same, the friendly people along with the bartenders

who welcome you to join the fun, have a cocktail,

& always go out of there way to please all of their patrons. 

 

Kelly and Gene promise to maintain the fun inviting establishment

& look forward to another 35 years with old friends, new friends &  family

at

 Jim's Vista Lounge.

AKA JVL's.
