If you're looking for that perfect upscale dive bar lounge vibe, 2 J's Sports Bar absolutely delivers. It's spacious without feeling overwhelming, with tons of pool tables, a small stage for live entertainment, private booth seating, and a large bar area that actually gives you room to breathe. You can walk around comfortably without bumping elbows every five seconds. I've been here more than a handful of times, and it's officially my go to spot when I need to unwind after a long day at Disneyland. The drinks are affordable, which we love, and the bartenders are chill, easy to talk to, and never make you feel rushed. It's the kind of place where you come for a drink and end up staying because the energy is right. I've even made a few friends here, and that alone says a lot. Safe to say, we'll definitely keep coming back. read more

This little neighborhood bar is gem. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed the moment you walk in. Live music is the real highlight--talented local artists, great sound, and just the right volume so you can enjoy the music and still talk. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the crowd feels like a mix of regulars and curious newcomers, which gives it a warm, community feel. Whether you're stopping in to unwind or catch some live tunes, this spot punches way above its weight. Definitely worth a visit. They have tacos in the outside patio on Tuesdays. There is plenty of parking. read more

The vibe was cool, bartenders were nice and drinks decent but unfortunately the Security Guard was rude for no reason, trying to flex and yell around at people. He really managed to make it uncomfortable. I've been in business/club promotions/bartending and events for years and I would definitely get rid of this dude. Seems like he would escalate a negative situation since he seemed to be so hostile at this small bar. Other than that guy I liked this place. Reminded me of dive bars in my neighborhood. read more

This place has to be run by a joke of an owner. They got security staff knocking people out and leaving them in the streets, needing to go to the hospital. Definitely don't have anyone professional in charge of security or minding this place. Would never go here ever again. read more

This place makes me never want to come back to Fullerton. The security and bouncers are absolutely demonic. They get a power trip off telling people no and when someone tries to talk to a manager, they pull out the taser. I can't believe they haven't shut this place down, I'm so incredibly disappointed read more

Always a good time! Strong drinks and great bartenders! If you're into dive bars, this is the place!

Met some friends here to play some pool and unfortunately one of my friends left his ID in his wife's purse who went home and wasn't with us. Security guard that was out front advised my buddy that he couldn't come in (even though he was 43 years old and looked well over 21) I get it...it's policy, the Law and his call. But the Security guard was very rude, smug and you can definitely tell that he hated his job! My friend decided to just get picked up and go home while I stayed back to hang with my friends.....I attempt to go in and the Security guard asks me for my ID again (event hough he just saw it a couple minutes ago?) I asked him why and he said cus he's head of Security and he wants to see it again. I instantly knew and could tell that he was on a power trip and didn't want me to come in. I proceeded to show him my ID again and he said that he didn't like my attitude and that I couldn't come in? "He had the right to refuse service to anyone" he said! I have no idea why he was being such a A-Hole...definitely felt like he was being very racist toward me! I have been in to this establishment many times in the past, I've worked in the shopping complex for years and have never been treated this way before! I absolutely will NEVER come back here again and will do everything in my power to make sure all my friends and family never step foot or spend a dime here ever! Maybe he was just having a bad day or something, but that Security guard needs a real lesson on how to be a better person and learn how to have a conversation with the public! read more

Super friendly service. It's always been packed at the bar whenever I've gone (usually after 4pm on weekdays) Watch out! Wednesday karaoke (which is awesome) starts at 9:30, not 8:00 as it appears on the signs. read more

Like to bring awareness to people about this place. The security guards are aggressive and have anger issues everyone who works at 2j's knows the security guards that have aggressive behaviors who instigate instead of deescalate the situation. read more

Kind of a dive bar that myself and several clients, a few from Japan, came across while in Pasadena, California for business and a trade show. It is definitely more if a dive bar, but I mean that in a complimentary way. It was a good place for us to kick back and be ourselves and have some fun. All in all, a good time and a welcome break from another business trip. read more

People were rad. Staff is exceptional! Had a good time and would definitely recommend to a friend.

We went on a Monday and it was really empty. Looks like there is live music some days but we missed it. There's no food there.

Good vibes all around! Good prices. Service. Mixed diverse crowd and smiles, atmospheric pleasure. I recommend it on a weekend! Decent drink prices/speciality mixer cocktails and house deals / draft selections make it an awesome time for a night out. Great tunes, classic r&b ans 90's bangers. Nelly! Andeley , wuh ohhoh! Arrived on a Friday night right before midnight, and there is a line out the door. Already, things were starting to get lit as they say. The vibe is nice, old school some people with tra of the dive bar but I feel like it has character to it. It has a texturized maturity that surfaces on the wooden walls, built with history. You can tell there's been many candid times and splendid moments of friendship here. Try it out! They make a nice double tequila margarita. :) Located in the same plaza as the Holiday Inn, and the Howard Johnson. Parking lot gets busy! read more

Went on a Monday night! And let me tell you! I had a blast! The bartender was dope as hell man! Listen, everyone was super chill! If I lived nearby I would be there every Monday night! I played the touch tunes and everyone was just a vibe. If you are in the area looking for a place to go chill for sec. That is the place to hit up! Not much in the area but this place is it. It won't be popping early in the week but you will get food drinks, good vibes and great people. Again, if you go Monday and you did not have a good time then Dm me !! read more

"So won't ya bob your head.. "ruff, ruff an' rugged we comin. Be-be-ba bob your head ruff, ruff an' rugged we comin." -Run DMC "Bob Your Head" An exceptionally fun and cost effective spot for all night boozing and boogies. There usually is not any cover or much of one to get in. The locals effect a light hearted and low key attitude. Not too many cliques or pretentious people to be found at 2J's. People usually carry on, play pool, drink, dance or play the occasional round of darts. 2J's boasts relatively impressive to exceedingly good DJ talent on any given night. When I happened by, the man on the wheels of steel was the very cool and fresh Bobby May. Bobby is among my favorite Bobs because he manages to get every head bobbing on the dancefloor. A meeting with this Bob is a promotion of all that is funky indeed. Bobby possesses a solid music background, and he has had extensive access to vinyl over the years due to the hours he has put in at Burger Records. Bobby might drop Dazz Band, Marvin Gaye, Britney Spears, The Supremes, or Rick James at any given moment. Bobby's sense of fun extends to how he DJs his sets too. He does his darnedest to dance and sing along with the crowd. Anyone who drops in on 2J's would be lucky to witness a set from Bobby May of the leonine hairdo, of the record world, of the sensational tunes. Other than Bobby, the decor stands out too. 2J's interior is a goofy mixup of sports bar and divebar. There are the usual gaudy beer logos. These are offset by wacky objects like a giant moosehead mounted on the wall and/or the random funny enough sign. I recommend setting foot inside 2J's to anybody wanting some good clean amusement. read more

Had the best time at 2js. The staff is nothing less than great. Patrick always knows how to make anyone feel welcome. Always a smile on his face (even though we say he looks like Aaron Rodgers). His friend Ricardo was great. Gave us great recommendations on drinks. Will definitely be back soon! read more

I wanna go back already! Every time I'm here, I get bent and it's always worth it!! Lmao the atmosphere and vibe inside is hella smooth and I'm convinced that it's Fullerton's best kept secret. Last time I was here I was two steppin, with two whiskey cokes in my hand and with two girls high as a kite, on god - I had the time of my life. Leave it to me - I'm on my way back. I'm already preppin for the two day hangover. yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessiirr read more

The best dive bars have the best staff and 2Js is one of those bars. Hit up Patrick their resident mixologist and he'll whip you up a damn good cocktail.

If you like a dive bar with pool tables and a DJ to dance to... you will like this place. The people watching was great!! So many different kinds of people. We went on a Friday night and there weren't any problems. It was all good. read more

Nice bar to catch a game or two. Prices were very reasonable. They don't serve food, but they're totally cool if you bring your own. The owner even provided pizza for us. That's what I'd do if had a bar. Will definitely try it again. read more

I came here for around the fifth or sixth time I think, but what really made the difference was the bartender. Toni made me feel so welcome and was super on it. I felt right at home. Had such a good time. And I honestly only come back to places due to customer service, which Toni provided that in spades. Come here if you want to have a good time , play pool, and have AWESOME bartenders (Like Toni). Highly recommend!!! read more

This place honestly surprised me in the best way. Roommate and I (girls in our mid 20s) went on a Friday night to kill time before a movie, and wanted to find a lowkey dive bar with pool. This spot is a hidden dive bar gem. You'll see a variety of folks here, from younger dudebros, to older cholo-looking dudes, to sports fans of all backgrounds watching the game in the large game room/billiard area. Bartenders were super friendly and attentive, and while it was getting busy for a Friday night, we got drinks right away and had no trouble grabbing a pool table. (I think its $1.50 per game?) Everyone was super chill with each other, all the crowds minded their own business and did their own thing, and they played good "throwback" 2000's music. We had a great time and stayed for about 2 hours. I will definitely be going back! read more

Hit this bar here a bunch of times over the last 20 years. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/2js-lounge-fullerton?select=M1kqf-PNlTOOGv9BfYHbcQ 2J's is a typical dive bar, a little seedy with a long dark red belly up bar http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/2js-lounge-fullerton?select=gmQc71ozQN-8bX5f0pQMbw a bunch of booths and a couple pool tables. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/2js-lounge-fullerton?select=iNiTzdmYSSqi26ehiFSp1g Smoker friendly it has a patio (jail) for smokers outside or for those just wanting to be outside and drink. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/2js-lounge-fullerton?select=84xE3QxFV2qGk-yRs8GLMQ They have great bartenders and they always have the jukebox churning music of all kinds and occasionally have a DJ spinning tunes. Decent drink prices make it a magnet for all kinds of people. I've seen all kinds of crowds here. From Locals, Cholo, Punk, Thug, Cowboy, Biker, Tourist you name it and at one time or another 2J's has the scene. Every time I go it seems to be a different crowd to hit 2J's. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/2js-lounge-fullerton?select=SCq4d8x0_M6vkIK8JffbrQ FYI beware Fullerton PD keeps a close eye on this place, stopped 2 times after leaving here. Once had a couple drinks (1990's) with Carl LaBove (Sam Kinneson's sidekick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcz2DaqAZ7I ) 2J's he had just come from the Brea Improv where we had also just come from. It started out as a fun time until my friend got worked over by the pool hustling hottie he brought with him. Almost turned into a brawl until Carl bought us all a couple rounds to chill on. Still 2J's is a great dive bar. I'll be back. read more

I came in here last Saturday early evening, PISSED. Had the rage due to lack of substance and nothing going on. Tanner P., our friends Joey and Sara and myself decided to come here because Joey's friend or cousin or something apparently was going to be DJing here later that evening. We showed up probably about 7? Started the night off right with a (decently made) Black Label & Coke, they each got a tall can of Pabst ($4). Which is what all of us stuck with for the rest of the night. Game of pool. I don't know WHAT wild hair got up my ass, or what was in that Johnnie Walker, but I was kicking ass at pool tonight. We managed to befriend this intense crackhead (literally, yes.) by the name of Billy. He was standing near our table, alone, dancing his ass off (in this very empty establishment) and sweating profusely. Turns out Billy's story was intense. He had his leg blown off in the war and a mean meth addiction. He was a SHARK at pool though. This review is mostly about Billy by the way. I hope to see him here again, that Electric Blanket of a man. There is a photobooth in here in which myself and my highly enjoyable party took memorable photos of our night. Soon to be uploaded (ahem - TANNER!) I loved this. We got pretty wasted. It was ultra fun. I had no idea I'd have so much fun at 2J's. I have one thing to say. "Sell the wax. Do the crack. We all next" read more

Sucks that you pay for the juke box but who ever is bartending can skip your song. Don't bother spending your money trying to hear your jams you paid for cuz the bartender will just skip your songs. Lame. Plays pure main stream radio shit. You'll most likely leave before your song plays. Smh. read more

What can I say about 2js??? Divey?? Yes! Crowd can look and feel like your in the wrong part of town on Friday and Saturday nights. They play the jams though and serve 32 oz of beer! The DJ kills it on the weekends, playing funk, oldies, and current hits. Great place to people watch, crowd varies from older to younger. read more

This place was a 5 with the old team now it's more like a 3 the new security was just a usual they gave a shirt total harassment guy, the new bartender guy is cute and very nice nothing bad about him or the young busser. My problem is the girl they bring to sing on the stage on tuesdays? Omg..... mood killer great pipes but wrong scene this isn't a lounge it's a BAR I want to shoot pool and Hear good music! Which btw most everyone who is there plays the best songs! Some of the local barstools are super nostalgic you'll see them- DT & Dreads. But there is one little horny bastard who is loud and obnoxious and thinks he owns the place. Got to be honest he's the one that made this regular say bye I love you 2Js it was a great 5 years while it lasted read more

You can always count on 2j's! Play darts, play pool, play keno!!!!! Catch the Angel game. Always a must if in Fullerton.

I'm so offended by the way i was treated security and bartenders very rude and the seats tables are all ripped and broken near the pool tables vibe is very ghetto so many other places to go in the area this one is not worth it! read more

Randomly ran into this place and absolutely loved it! Drinks were fresh and the dj played 90s r&b and hip hop!
