After months of slow-going speculation, Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill is finally ready to Texas two-step its way into 2013 with a country-style New Year's Eve/Grand Opening bash at its new Tucson Mall location.
The 20,000-square-foot franchise, located across from The Cheesecake Factory, claimed on its Facebook page as of Wednesday that it still didn't have a solid opening date. However, concerts are scheduled to begin on Friday with A Boy Named Sioux from the Phoenix area, according to countrybartucson.com
The restaurant and watering hole is also selling tickets to a New Year's soiree for $10 apiece on that website.
The 21-and-older party will include a champagne toast at midnight and party favors.
Touring country duo Marshal Reign, made up of the songwriting team Erin Wicks and Jason McNabb, will provide the live music.

This will be the second Arizona location for Toby Keith's; the first opened in Mesa in spring 2010.
