SAUL!

Super cool place! Saul the bartender was funny! Would definitely come back here again

Outdoor bar that allows only the coolest dogs

This place always treats me right and they're dog friendly. Great beer selection, amazingly friendly staff and the outdoor patio is built for all weather. As an English person missing a pub, this fills a lot of that void which is an amazing compliment for a US establishment.

this place is fine. drinks leave much to be desired. could see it being a good place to watch a game, but not our top choice even for that.

Stopped by here to watch the women's usa game before catching a flight. This is an Arsenal and an Outlaws bar. 3 stars on the food. The fries were ok and the pizza was tasty but not phenomenal. The game atmosphere though? 5/5 stars! Street parking nearby was easy and service was good. Come here to sit outside and watch the game with some buddies but maybe get food beforehand.

Jack's is somewhat divey on the inside, but their back patio is excellent - lots of seating, plenty of TVs, and propane heaters for when it's cold out. They also have a separate patio bar, but unfortunately that was closed the last time I visited (I think they're a bit understaffed). Dogs are allowed on the patio, but only until 9PM which is oddly specific. I visited for the second time with my friends on Thursday, and there were plenty of open tables. Everyone else was there to watch the football game, but it didn't get too loud at all. The downside with Jack's is that there's basically no information on their website - just an outdated beer list. I had no idea that they also serve food and have craft cocktails, but they do! I ended up just going with a dry cider, but will probably branch out next time. Prices are very reasonable too!

In walking distance from my apartment! Came in on Super Bowl Sunday 2025 to watch the game on the patio with my dog. There was a plethora of tv screens playing the game and a good amount of space heaters. The vibes were nice... not too loud and arrogant. Oh and I had the BEST lemon drop... like seriously i order lemon drops everywhere and this one was one of my favorites. I'll be sure to frequent this place since it's in walking distance.

Jack's is a great bar. It has a very welcoming atmosphere and a great place to meet up with friends. Parking: There is no parking lot. You have to find street parking, but it is free. Drinks: Pricing-wise, their drinks are pretty cheap. A well-drink can cost between $5-$6. My go-to is a pomelo and it's around $11. They have a full bar service, so they can make any drink. Food: I have yet to try their new menu but they do offer food from jtownpizza. Service: The bartenders are always so helpful and sweet. If you do not know what you want, they make great recommendations. Atmosphere: Their outdoor area is really nice. They have space heaters for old evenings and really nice outdoor lighting. The crowd is usually between the ages of late 20s-60s. Everyone that goes to this bar is super friendly. I would highly recommend this bar to anyone that is looking for more of a chill night. It is also one of the last standing dive bars in the area.

Got a cocktail here after work. It was okay -- smooth enough, but the flavor didn't really stand out. Easy spot if you're nearby.

If you're new to the game or are too self conscious to visit a more serious setting, fairway zone…read moreis the perfect place to start. This is more of a sports bar setting with TV's everywhere so you don't have to worry about judgmental staff or uptight players. Chances are everyone is too busy watching "the game" to notice your crappy swing. The sim, although tricky and hard to read if you've only played real courses, is accurate and offers a ton of feedback. Gameplay supports up to 4 players unless you set up the golf range setting, then it's basically open season. Only 2 bays available by reservation so plan accordingly. There are some loner clubs if you don't have your own otherwise bringing your set is recommended. We had a bunch of appetizers that were all excellent. We came on a slow night too so no issues with drinks/food orders but I can see that being an issue when it gets lively(then again what restaurant doesn't have this issue when busy?). To my understanding this place just went through a menu/renovation refresh so look to the newest pictures for the most up to date info.

The ambiance and décor are nice -- and that's about where the positives end. When we sat down and…read moreopened the menu, several items were crossed out or scribbled over, so the food options I had seen on Yelp were no longer available. We had two different servers come to our table who didn't seem to be communicating with each other. As a result, we never received an order of sliders, yet they still appeared on our bill. The bartender also struggled with very basic cocktails. A simple cosmopolitan and a lemon drop -- both extremely common drinks -- seemed to cause confusion, which was surprising. As for the food, it was nothing memorable. One friend ordered a smash burger that was so smashed it included the bun, which I've never seen before. The wings I ordered were small and underwhelming -- five wings for $15 felt overpriced and disappointing. Overall, I don't understand how this place has a 4.5-star rating on Yelp. I left pretty disappointed. The only thing that seems to keep people coming back is the scantily clad servers rather than the food or service.

It's a small place but has indoor & outdoor eating. Lively (Latin?) music & an extensive menu. If you have a large party or are with picky eaters, this place has it all. I ordered their egg scramble with chorizo. 5/5 The rice & beans were seasoned so good. Even as sides, as individual items they were DELICIOUS. The chorizo & eggs weren't overly greasy & the tortillas were good. My partner ordered the steak sandwich. 4.5/5 Flavor was amazing. The steak was a little chewy. The sauce on the side complimented it very well but not necessary as the flavor of the steak was great by itself. I ordered a strawberry mimosa, as well. It was really lacking for me. Didn't taste any strawberry. Just looked like pink champagne. 2/5 Overall, the food & customer service was great. Clean bathrooms. Good vibes. Will definitely come back & try the rest of the menu.

If you enjoy people-watching while you eat, this is definitely your spot. And if you're a fan of mimosas, you'll probably feel right at home here. Our waitress was amazing -- very sweet, attentive, and professional. She made sure we were taken care of and really added to the experience. Unfortunately, the food itself wasn't the best. I ordered waffles with a side of bacon and berries. The berries were fresh and the bacon was cooked perfectly, but the waffle came out extremely hard -- almost like a plate. My spouse ordered eggs, potatoes, and a side of bacon. He clearly explained how he wanted his order, but it came out with hash browns and bacon instead. Again, the bacon was actually very good, but the rest of the dish missed the mark. One thing I did appreciate is that they are very welcoming to furbabies and even offer a special menu for them, which is a nice touch for pet owners. Overall, the atmosphere and service were great, but the food quality and order accuracy could definitely use some improvement.
