About Bar IX in Downtown Mobile

As reported by WKRG, owners of the former Saddle Up Saloon Greg and Janice Loughlin, along with head bartender and manager Sarah Brooks, are transforming the popular space.

After Greg’s cohort and best friend Tommy Chayne passed, Saddle Up Saloon on Jackson Street just wasn’t the same and shut down. After Loughlin and Brooks looked for a new location to open a bar, they ended up back where they started on Jackson Street.

They decided to revitalize the space with a new brand, naming it Bar IX after the address—9 North Jackson Street. According to WKRG, Bar IX will be owned by Brooks.
