Okay, full disclosure: I love this place in a ridiculous way. It's not fancy, nice, or even particularly clean. If you're heading to F. Jones though, you're not going somewhere where you're trying to be fancy. You just wanna dance to some blues and have a damn good time. And you WILL. F. Jones is THE late night spot in Jackson. I'm not even entirely sure what time this place opens. I think it's 10 or 11? I know if you get there before midnight most nights, you can avoid paying cover. BUT, I don't think I've ever showed up before midnight. This place pops off past midnight. This is where everyone heads once the other bars are closing, so everyone has usually already had a couple drinks. (PS, take an UBER! Do not drink and drive!) There is always live music-- typically some very Mississippi blues act. Everyone is dancing and having such a good time on the dance floor. The bar is dark, smoky, and crowded. It's VERY Mississippi. Outside, they are usually smoking some hot dogs, burgers, BBQ. It's cheap and delicious, and usually JUST what you need at that time of the night. The drinks are cheap. Cover to get in is usually $10, and you can get beers as cheap as $2 or $3 usually. F. Jones is definitely not an EVERY night type of thing. I mean, it's a LATE night. But every now and then, it's a really good time and definitely worth your while. Go get your dance on, y'all.

I went here for lunch. I hope to someday experience F. Jones for blues! But anyway, all I can review is the food and atmosphere in the afternoon. BEST BBQ I'VE EVER HAD!! Whoever said Memphis had the best BBQ has not been to Frank Jones Corner in Jackson, MS. It was so delicious, sauce wasn't even needed, but of course I had sauce, because that was good enough to eat with a spoon!! Also, try their fried grits. Amazing! I'm not even a big fan of grits, but these are a must have. Just watch out, you'll be hooked. I may have dreams about this food. I wish I lived closer. They had a variety of items on their menu, including pasta, and they all looked good. Prices were very reasonable, in fact compared to food up north, pretty darn cheap! The atmosphere was a small bar. I hesitate to say dive bar, because it is a recent renovation. Dives to me sort of mean run down. This is not. Its a nice place, but not a classy sit down romantic meal type place. During the blues lunch while I was there, the music was also great. I met and talked to the owner, and some other employees. it was a very pleasant and enjoyable afternoon. He is looking forward to revitalizing Jackson, he is doing his part. That is a very worthy goal, I fell in love with this city. F.Jones doesn't have the history that Peaches and Mayflower has, but I guarantee the building does. The owner and other employees will be happy to share it with you! I hope that you will visit this wonderful gem in Jackson!

Love this spot! I've been going for several years and this review is overdue. FJC is located in downtown Jackson on Farish Street. It's a late-night dive bar that really kicks off around midnight. It's one of the few spots in Jackson that is helping to keep the blues music scene alive. As many have indicated in their reviews, this is a spot that goes late (after other bars shut down). Street parking is available close to the venue. Cover is cheap (usually $5), and free if you arrive early (? prior to 11:30pm). Not a lot of seating, but there are stools at the bar, a small lounge section with tables up front, and picnic tables out back (good when weather permits). However, with music this good you likely won't need to sit too long. They also serve good bar food such as the catfish basket, hot dogs, fries, etc... Staff is laid back, and service has been good for me. Great place to take a group of friends for some late night fun and dancing!

I was completely disrespected by the security staff there last night for no reason. I bought around of shots for friends and didn't even get to enjoy them. Security was yelling in my friends ear to get out and I was arguing with him because I hadn't gotten my card back. I hadn't paid my tap and really shouldn't have the way I was treated. This place will gladly take your money and disrespect you right after. This isn't the kind of business Jackson needs to support. I will never go there again !

This place is always a lot of fun. Good crowd, awesome bartenders. They have live jazz and blues band, the music is always amazing! They open until 4am, so if the clubs are closing and you don't wanna go home yet, this is the place to be.

See all

The party doesn't really start until midnight but it was nice to get there early and find a place to sit.

Visited on a Saturday evening with a reservation. We were immediately greeted upon check in and sat…read moreat a table right next to the stage. There was live music and a singer during our dining experience which was lovely and the sound was not overpowering where we couldn't hear each other during dinner. The restaurant offers full bar offerings and wines along with lighter bites. We ordered the onion dip platter, grilled cheese, and pizza Romano. The pizza great light and spicy. The grilled cheese was so surprising and very delicious - highly recommend as one of my favorites on their menu. The staff was kind and attentive and the ambiance definitely transports you to a nostalgic piano bar. The decor is Parisian chic and the atmosphere is cozy yet lively. I would definitely visit again. There is limited street parking nearby $$

I went to Louise's for the Swinging Christmas. The singer that night, Katrina Cox, was great! She…read moredid covers from Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Etta James. I didn't catch the pianist's name, but he was awesome! Ambiance is an intimate, sophisticated vibe with a vintage feel - it's a cocktail lounge. It appears that Louise's has live performances nightly. Our cocktails - French gimlets were delicious! We ordered the Ultimate Charcuterie Board which comes with two meats, two cheeses, two choices of olives, and all the garnish. Everything was super fresh. The star on this board was the pickled green tomato. I loved it - the only thing is I wished the smaller boards were available mixed instead of having to choose between a meat board and fromage board unless you get the larger one. Service was good. Our waiter was friendly and our items came out fairly fast. Overall, I enjoyed it and I'm glad to have this new establishment in Jackson!
