G. T.'s on Acton

G. T.'s on Acton is a restaurant and sports bar located at 2409 Acton Road in Dolly Ridge Station in Vestavia Hills.

The restaurant was opened in April 2010 as O. T.'s on Acton by a group of investors whom brought in Wayne Ellis to recreate his O. T.'s Neighborhood Sports Grill which was in Lakeview for almost 18 years, but closed in 2008 due to bankruptcy.

In September 2010, Ellis stepped down to return to his previous location in Lakeview, now known as Kelley's Neighborhood Sports Grill. The owners of the Acton Road location brought in Turner May, previously at La Paz as managing partner and renamed the restaurant G. T.'s, stating that the letters stood for "Good Times". May overhauled the menu as well.
