Jenni

Born and raised in west Texas, I started bartending at the age of 18 in a tiny shack in the middle of the desert. I’ve been fortunate enough to work everywhere from sports bars to high end clubs and 2 years ago I was welcome with open arms to The Wheel. I immediately fell in love. Cocktails, vinyl, great coworkers and the SWEETEST regulars a gal could ask for. If you haven’t a friend in the world, you’ll find one at The Wheel!

Born in Ohio, but I grew up in Texas. I’ve been in this industry for about 20 years. From line cook to beverage director, I’ve worn a lot of hats in life. It’s been a wild ride but I couldn’t be happier to end up with such a great bar and bar family. If you’re looking for a nice cocktail, a shot and a beer or just an ear to bend. We’ve got you covered here at The Wheel. Come see us!
