Another reason I stopped using "check-in". We stopped here six months ago and I hadn't intended to write about it. This morning I received the prompt telling me to share my experiences. Oy Vey. As I recall we were at Jose's on a Thursday night and they had a pretty fun karaoke. I can tell you there were mostly younger folks but a couple that were almost our age. I believe we had trouble finding their signage in the dark and parked in a little area in the back. A bit spooky but ended up safe in the long run. The bartender was really cool and fast like the wind. Not sure what we talked about, but was definitely good folks. No food that I remember; if there was, we didn't order any. I think someone brought in a small pizza. So, you can do that. It's definitely a drive, but a solid comfortable one with a pretty good view of the lake, but it was dark out. read more

Poor service and attitude by the bartenders. Got Blamed for something we were not involved in. read more

honestly great place but when their "off duty workers," come in plastered and act like they own the place is just disrespectful. Really we all were having a great night till she as in the worker comes in and started things with everyone. After rudely speaking with my group about playing pool she decides to use her "power" and go to the security to say we are "under age" which results in us getting kicked out from her power trip. I have 3 IDs regarding my age, the fact she did all that is just so crazy to me and I'm so disappointed on the fact, thats how their off duty workers appeal to others. read more

GREAT service! Many times when you enter a bar and you're from out of town you get "the look" like you don't belong. Not a Jose's! They welcomed us immediately and didn't make us feel like we didn't belong. Drinks were great and great price! Loved the karaoke, just wish it was a little more organized. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be back! read more

Friendly people & live music. Good drinks at a good price. Feel free to bring in munchies. read more

We were back in Canton on our way home from the scary, deep south, and I have to admit it feels downright civilized! It helps that we stopped by Jose's. I haven't been there in years, and they have made a lot of improvements. The outside area, looking toward the lake, is great this time of year. There was a breeze, and I just love the new (to me?) bistro lights. I was a tiny bit sad to find the pinball machine AWOL, but then I promptly forgot after (downing too many Chilled Fireballs and) discovering the super fancy iTunes jukebox. That kept me AND the hubby entertained, which is no small feat. You see, he likes country (which makes little sense given he's foreign and has only lived in the north), and I like to get crunk. Anyway, we both found lots to like, and no one even seemed to notice how incompatible our tastes are. Long story short. This was a great night out for me and the hubs. We got a break from the kids, we didn't blow a ton of cash, and we were only a *little* buzzed when we woke up the next morning. (Next time I'm sticking to three drinks!) read more

Jose's is a fun little dive bar at the edge of Lake Cable. There's usually a pretty diverse crowd that shows up on any given night. They don't have an extensive beer selection...pretty much the basics, and it's cash only, which sucks. You're almost always going to have a fun time when you go and you'll probably meet some interesting people. read more

A fun neighborhood place with a great view of the lake. Strong drinks st reasonable prices. Great service from the bartender. We will be back! read more

Fun, cheap, and diverse crowd from day to night. Signature shot is a storm cloud... evil but delish. Cash only but music/staff is great and the view is awesome from patio!! read more

Jose's has pride in being a Dive Bar. It is the only bar in Jackson that doesn't have food or a theme, like a Pool hall. It is just a nice bar to to sit on the patio, smoke a cigar and look over Lake cable. Low price drinks and beers! read more

Fun place to go for a night out.. Karaoke nights are my favorite, especially on Sundays with 2$ cranberry vodkas!

My boss turned me on to this great little dive bar. Awesome place for the regular working class Joe to come in and unwind. The free, hot pop corn is a nice touch and just listening to the conversations provides great entertainment. Thanks for turning me on to great little place, Jeff! read more

Great dive bar on the edge of Lake Cable. Been a patron for over a decade and although the crowd has slowly changed over the years, the great prices for beer and solid service from the bar staff (Mike is the man) has remained solid. Weekend nights tend to favor the over- 30 crowd before midnight and under-30 crowd afterward. The bar is cash only, but there is an inconspicuous ATM in the corner for those without cash. No food outside of popcorn, but the local pizza guys normally drop in around 10 or 11 with food if you're interested. read more

Jose's holds a very special place in my heart not only because I have been going there for years but also because it's the perfect lakeside dive bar. They have a killer jukebox. The bartenders are super cool and will let you "test drive" new shots they are experiementing with. Love that place. Mickey is THE best bartender. She knows everyone by name, will do a shot with you, and introduce you to other folks sitting at the bar. read more

Take cash unless you want to use their ATM. It is not a bad place, I like going there. The crowd is different every night. One night it is a younger crowd and the next night loaded with baby boomers. read more

cool little dive bar in Canton. Meet really cool people and i came in at 9 pm. worth a look if you just wanna meet locals

A place where I always feel welcome, though in am far from a regular....good drinks served by a great bartender (Karen) just a great place to hang out read more

Love this place! Good times and usually have some sexy women! Good prices too. Best "dive" in town!
