    Friends drinking
    Brian R.

    Service: 5 Stars Ambience: 5 Stars Food/Beverage: 5 Stars Living your best life: 5 Stars! Kelly the owner is AWESOME! Bro bought me a shot and a drink for visiting from out of town! I love this place! I'm just visiting and the owner approached me and started talking to me and all of the servers were attentive and SUPER HOT! And I just felt loved and appreciated here. I came on a Tuesday after a stressful telework day, but this place is definitely the place to go to when you want a drink and food with some friends and a super chill atmosphere that you can appreciate. As a Yelp review who's visiting from out of town, I HIGHLY recommend coming here!

    Jamaican jerk wings
    Jazzmine R.

    The Food: Jax hands down has the best jerk chicken wings I've eaten a very long time. They are so well seasoned and deliciously spicy. I seriously crave these at least once a week after having them. I also order the loaded fries along with it, which have crispy bacon, tomato and cheese topped on the fries. Yummm! The Pricing: Very reasonable and doesn't break the bank. An order of wings comes with a couple of sticks of celery and carrots, as well as a cup of ranch or bleu cheese. You do have to order fries at an additional cost. Ambiance: It's your typical sports bar setting. High table tops throughout the restaurant, a long bar area with several TV's with all the sports events on. I do enjoy going there, having a couple drinks, wings, and loaded fries after a long week. I highly recommend going there and enjoying their jerk wings and a couple drinks with friends. Thank me later!

    Italian bread with blue cheese crumbs and red sauce. Give it a try.

    A Co worker and I went in for a drink and some food. The location you kinda gotta drive around a parking lot to get to it. Lots of parking, if I remember we went on a Wednesday night. I ordered some buffalo wings and some italian bread with sauce. These wings are not your small dinky wings, they are large and packed with meat. The medium hour sauce was not as hot as BWW, so get the step up hotter sauce if you like hotter. The italian bread with the sauce was so good. Service was not great but good. Sort of relaxed atmosphere compared to RBIs. Well definitely stop back in when in the area. If your reading this post, stop in you won't be disappointed with the portion and the quality of the food.

    Hello everyone, You know I usually don't post situations on FB unless it's a story to be told!!!! So I once again EXPERIENCED RACISM!!! I've been coming to Jax Pub In Loves Park IL off and on for YEARS and has NEVER had any problems, always good food and fun, as I too have told people how great of an establishment it is to hang out and have a good time with no drama. I was here at Jax pub Friday May 24th, had no problem getting in, I had such a great time I returned Saturday May 25th... Well tonight I arrived at Jax Pub and was stopped at the door, the bouncer told me his boss said I was no longer allowed in his establishment because my shorts are too long, his EXACT WORDS were, " MY BOSS SAID HE WAS PISSED LAST TIME YOU CAME HERE WITH THAT SHIT ON, AND HE SAID YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED HERE WITH THAT SHIT ON" the bouncer said he stated to his boss, that they are just long shorts and he thought they were pants, the bouncer again stated his boss said " HE DOES NOT WANT THIS SHIT I HAD ON IN HIS ESTABLISHMENT!!! I was in utterly SHOCK due to the FACT that I've been coming here for a while off and on and I was just here, last weekend. I am so tired of my race being targeted, when there is good and bad in EVERY RACE!!! So once again being a GOOD PERSON NEVER CAUSING OR HAVING ANY PROBLEMS NO MATTER WHERE I GO, I am no longer allowed in a bar do to the way I dress which is NO AT ALL OFFENCIVE TO ANYONE!!! Another sad stoy. It's sad after all these years racism is still so bad, they might as well go back to BLACKS ONLY and WHITES ONLY, because that's where it's headed. This is what I am wearing, I am five foot three and a half and I wear men clothing, when I buy clothing especially shorts I don't consider length as who would have thought this would have ever been a problem, but if your black African American, I've learned now it's a problem, if the owner of an establishment is racist and have a problem urban clothing. Nothing sagging just LONG SHORTS, so if it's not racist somebody please tell me what is it!!!!! I forgot to mention the FACT that I suffer from a vein disease in my legs which is also a reason why I do wear long shorts, but neither here nor there if it's not racism please somebody tell me what is it. I was in such I totally shock, I was standing there waiting for the bouncer to say he was just kidding with me, but he proceeded to say he was seriously, so I just walked away in disbelief. That's probably not what they expected, but I am by far not confrontational.

    Awesome find! A friend gave us a gift card and I'm so glad we got the chance to use it today. First…read moreoff, I'm lactose intolerant, so having a fully vegan menu is heaven to me! I had all the options! We ordered the Death Grip IPA and Briéekraut Oktoberfest, which we both loved. We started our meal with an order of nachos to start, and they were covered in a delicious nacho "cheese" and a a chili. My meal was the loaded Mac n Cheezy Bowl - which was so incredible (especially when you don't need to worry about the amount of dairy in it!!). My husband got the Grilled Cheeze Steak Tacos and really enjoyed them! The taco is made with a mini quesadilla as the shell with a delicious filling. Our server was extremely friendly, welcoming, and ensured a great experience. The restaurant definitely feels like a classic brewery with fun decorations and exposed brewing equipment, which is always awesome to see. Added plus is they have free Tesla charging for customers! (Possibly other electric car charging, but I didn't check) We will definitely be back!

    My bf really wanted to come here since he used to live in the area. I will say, I was very…read moreskeptical because I am certified carnivore. Granted, we only had fries, mushrooms and Brussels sprouts to share but they were good! I would suggest maybe more even spreading of garlic on the fries but I enjoyed myself. The beers were great but I'm definitely the most fond of the gose(s). I do wish you could do a flight that wasn't all 10 beers, but it's great for splitting. Easy parking and service was friendly.
