CONSTRUCTION is underway at Vanderpump Rules alum Jax Taylor’s new LA sports bar which is set to open soon and can be revealed in exclusive new photos.
Pictures obtained by The U.S. Sun give a first look at the spacious watering hole on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, near plenty of foot traffic.

The bar, which is linked to the popular bar Rocco’s Tavern next door, was formerly a cocktail lounge, Seventy7, until a few months ago when it closed its doors.
A giant sign, first shared by Jax on the venue’s new Instagram account, now reads: “Coming soon 2023 Jax’s Studio City.”
Snaps show the old yellow signage for the bar is still up, with the building painted dark grey and a traditional style roof and wooden fence at the front of the property.
Old Instagram photographs of Seventy7 show a classic lounge look with bold patterned wallpaper, chandeliers, and burgundy Chesterfield-style pattern sofas and chairs.

According to property records viewed by The U.S. Sun, the 1,898-square-foot space was built in 1950 and the two bars are linked and owned by a company called Mba Enterprises LLC.
The new one-story sports bar has a listed market value of $309,163 but it is thought Jax and his business partners are renting the space.
Jax, 44, and his wife Brittany Cartwright are preparing to return to Bravo alongside a slew of other reality stars in a brand new Vanderpump Rules spin-off show.
The dad-of-one was seen doing some construction work at the site last week as they get to work on revamping the space in time for its opening later this year.
PODCAST REVEAL
Jax rocked a white T-shirt and blue jeans with a black baseball cap, pairing the look with a red, black, and white pair of Nike sneakers.
At one point, he was seen carrying a large tube from a nearby vehicle to the construction site while a film crew captured his movements.
He was also seen at his house in nearby Valley Village on Monday morning taking out the trash, while workers delivered food produce to the venue, suggesting the opening date may be soon.
Photographs also show wooden decking which is yet to be put together, along with piles of tiles.
Jax and Brittany, 34, detailed their new venture on their When Reality Hits podcast, revealing that construction would be starting up last week.

“I am opening a sports bar. It is going to be called Jax’s Studio City. We started construction on Monday and I am really excited,” he said.
“We are finally going to have a neighborhood sports bar.”
Jax went on: “I know in the past I said that owning a bar is basically a marriage killer but the difference is [Brittany is] involved just as much as I am.
“My wife is involved just as much as I am. We have 100 percent say in what is going on and she is doing the decorating.
“The difference between some other people that we know that did a bar without their significant others is that I am involving mine.”
Brittany then chimed in, saying: “He said [owning a bar ruins relationships] many times and it has freaked me out ever since this project came to be a possibility for us.
“It’s called Jax’s but it is mine too.”
She went on to say: “And you are not going to be there 24/7. It is going to be kid-friendly during the day.”
BEER CHEESE
Brittany also teased the bar’s menu, revealing: “What we are planning on doing is finally having Mamaw’s Beer Cheese on the menu so people can come and pick up their own little tub there.
“We couldn’t sell it here in California, but now that we have a kitchen, I am going to fly my [grandmother] out and have her help with the menu so that it has a lot of southern charm.”
Mamaw’s Beer Cheese became popular after Vanderpump Rules fans were introduced to Brittany’s family on the show who hail from Kentucky.
In June, Lala Kent confirmed that Bravo was working with Jax and Brittany on a spinoff series.
Rumors have been swirling about who will appear on the show but Bravo has not shared any details so far.
Vanderpump Rules is currently filming scenes for Season 11, in which Lala will also appear.
It was previously reported that Jax, Brittany, and Kristen were returning to Bravo in a spinoff series but little was known about the show at the time.
It’s since been revealed that Bravo ordered eight episodes of the new reality show.
The series will focus on a group of friends, who used to work for restaurant mogul Lisa Vanderpump, leaving their partying ways in the past and living in the Valley.
