TGI Friday’s

Specialties

T.G.I. Friday’s offers a casual dining experience unlike any other, where you can expect great food, drinks and plenty of fun to go around at over 900 locations in 47 states and more than 60 countries. Just don’t expect a dull moment at any of them.

T.G.I. Friday’s restaurant is synonymous with ‘flair bartending’ and as a matter of fact, we’re credited with inventing it. To celebrate this phenomenon, we created the first World Bartender Championships in the mid 80’s to honor the famous trend-​setting, bottle-​tossing style of bartenders around the globe. The tradition continues today.

Come on in, catch the big game over beers, mingle, gossip with the girls, connect with friends or make new ones. All while enjoying fantastic food you can’t find anywhere else, like our signature Jack Daniel’s Grill!

History

Established in 1965.

On March 15, 1965 casual dining got a serious kick start. That’s when a fun-​loving New Yorker named Alan Stillman purchased a bar located on 1^st Avenue and 63^rd Street and named it T.G.I. Friday’s … Thank God It’s Friday’s. Okay, so his main goal was to meet stewardesses, but what he didn’t know at the time was that he was going to create what is now referred to as the casual dining industry.

From that moment on, lunch, dinner and drinks took on a whole new meaning. His restaurant quickly turned into the place to be for a helluva good time on any day, but especially on Friday’s.

The first T.G.I. Friday’s restaurant was an overnight sensation. What began as the ultimate «singles’ bar became a destination synonymous with FUN for couples, co-​workers and buddies. Friday’s was different and it became THE place to see and be seen.
