JT's Tavern Takes Over Former Full Moon Space In Batavia

BATAVIA, IL — A vacant storefront in a historic Batavia building is no longer empty: JT's Tavern & Tap officially moved in.

The eatery takes over the space at 113 S. Batavia Ave. formerly occupied by Full Moon. Owners Robert Truex and his sons, Jeremy and Justin, completed an extensive remodeling of the restaurant and opened the business the second week of December.

The restaurant celebrated its official grand opening Monday, with Batavia Mayor Jeffery Schielke presiding over the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Community members and city leaders joined the owners, their family members and friends at the event.

At JT's, restaurant-goers can choose from an extensive menu offering wings, burgers, salads and sandwiches as well as a full bar. Carry-out is available, too.

Video gaming is also an option at the establishment. Batavia City Council voted 8-5 in October to allow video gambling at JT's, according to reports from the Daily Herald.

The Batavia location is the brand's third. JT's can be found in Carol Stream and Lombard.

The restaurant and bar currently opens at 11 a.m. seven days a week and closes at 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday, at 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and at midnight Sunday.
