I wished ALL bars would go smoke free since most people don't smoke anymore.

It's 1970's-dim inside, with outdated decor and local regulars kickin' it with other regulars. Nobody's dressing up or putting on a show to display social status and trendiness. A pretty unassuming Midwest bunch, and they were friendly and glad to speak with us. The bar itself is my favorite kind - a large horseshoe. It makes a lot of room to be seated, and you can see people on the other side in some places, for conversation. Pool tables appear to be in good repair. There's a smoking deck with tables out back which overlooks KY3 next door and a nice lawn - very pleasant out there. I had 3 pints of Bud, with tomato an the side, my daughter had 3 or 4 well vodka-waters with lime and the bill was just over $21 on a Tuesday afternoon. I really liked it because it was so relaxed. Like slipping on an old shoe. Like going to a friends barbeque and there's friends there you just don't know yet. I kind of wish I lived closer.

They have now included a tv room, slots and a "VIP" area facing the band "kinda tacky." The staff is friendly, and fast; the pitchers are a little at steep. Although when we went a craft pitcher was the same amount as a domestic. It's a great spot for live music especially since it's usually free and they start earlier than most places. Definitely be my go to if I lived on that side of town. It's a lIttle tricky to find since it's tucked away on a back street. Also the front can be a little intimidating, because it looks kinda rough. It's actually is a lot bigger inside than it looks outside. Plenty of seating for a large group, and one of the longest bars I've ever seen.

The decor can best be described as accidental, but it's comfy and offers a juke box, pool table, and darts. The loooong bar is managed by a pleasant and welcoming Rhonda.

You won't find KJ Brewskies on any influencer's list of must-visit spots -- and that's exactly why…read moreit's worth your time. It sits off the main drag, the kind of bar you notice only after you've driven past it a dozen times. But step inside, and you'll realize it's one of those rare places that still knows what a bar is supposed to be. The lights are low, the air is easy, and the bar top -- polished smooth from years of elbows and stories -- gleams under the amber bulbs. The bartender greets you like an old friend, even if you've never been here before. He keeps a clean bar, tight and organized, every glass shining like it's got a reputation to uphold. People don't come to KJ Brewskies for the food. Sure, there's something hot and fried if you need it, but this isn't a place for plating or pretense. You come here for the people, the atmosphere, the simple comfort of a cold beer that doesn't cost you half a paycheck. The jukebox doesn't take quarters anymore -- progress, I suppose -- but the music's still good. Old country. Classic rock. Songs that sound better when they're a little too loud. Over in the corner, someone's lining up a pool shot. Darts whistle through the air. Shuffleboard pucks slide and kiss the end of the table with a satisfying clack. What makes this place special, though, is how it shifts with the seasons. When the weather turns warm, they throw open the doors and roll out the crawfish pots. It's all elbows, laughter, and the unmistakable smell of spice and beer in the air. Fall might bring a chili cook-off, winter maybe a small charity drive -- each one another excuse for the regulars and newcomers alike to gather, eat, drink, and remember what community feels like. KJ Brewskies isn't trying to be anything more than what it is. It's a good bar -- honest, lived-in, alive. A place to forget the headlines, to talk about nothing important, to exist for a few hours without explanation. Places like this are getting harder to find. And maybe that's why, when you walk out into the night -- the jukebox still humming behind you -- you already know you'll be back.

They have a jukebox when there isn't karaoke running 4 nights a week. It's actually pretty big for a dive, with a huge seating area in the front, as well as the back. They offer two stages; one in the main part of the bar, and the other outside where you may also smoke. Although they don't use them much because they don't have live music often "which I think is a bummer." On a positive note they are still the cheapest place in town. Here you are still able to get a bottle of beer for under $2.50
