I made the dreadful decision to attempt to give this bar a chance. The name sounded cool "Handle Bar" and I love to bar-hop. Now, I am an opened minded individual and I give EVERYBODY a chance. There was ZERO judgement from me walking into the bar. Here's how it went down: I walked up to the door and placed my hand on the door handle when I was immediately harassed by the owner who was sitting at a table on the outside patio. He asked, "Who are you" and "Why are you here?" Well, doesn't common sense tell you that I am at the bar to either 1) grab a drink -or- 2) order some food? Why, based on my appearance, would the owner attack me like that? Unprofessional doesn't even begin to describe the owners behavior. Prejudicial is the word. The owner obviously favors a certain type of people. I was judged by the small minded owner (and his bartender) at this bar when trying to be open minded. To make matters worse, I was further harassed by them over the phone. Owners staff begin calling me as they were huddled in groups laughing and screaming insults.

Crazy hours I can't get dinner with the hours but when they are open the have great burgers and the biker bites are amazing! drinks are fresh and they are quick to help you and quick to bring out the food. Everything tastes fresh and cooked perfectly! They have a fun game outside also if you can figure it out. They have inside and outside seating. They even have some merch to buy if you are really feeling it! The bathrooms are also always clean when I go in there. A must try on on the Rt.66! Bike parking to the east and car parking on the west and an extra parking area on the east as well

Great biker bar. Friendly and helpful staff. Red was really nice. Perfect place for a quick bite and a beer. Plus, they have live music on the weekend! Couldn't ask for a better place!

Handlebar had good reviews online so we were excited about trying it out. It's a cool little dive bar for bikers that is supposed to have great food. But I found the cheeseburger dry and without flavor. Which was disappointing because I really wanted to like this place. The service was nice and it's in an old gas station which is kind of cool but I was disappointed by the quality of the cheeseburger. They weren't very busy, and there were several other places on that Route 66 Corridor in Amarillo that had lots more traffic and one even had live music while we were driving past. Next time we'll try one of the other locations.

The inside of the bar was warm from lack of an A/C. The Cuba Libre and my burger were good, but my tots were overcooked.
