The guy plays a lot of pool. He grew up playing and when we moved to Missouri, we spent some time…read morelooking for a place to hang out. This is the place. We show up, usually a couple of times a week and shoot a few games. They've got a large number of regulation sized tables, kept in good shape. Unlike many other pool halls, there's also a ton of available seating, so it's great if you've got a wife more intent on boozing than actually playing. Hypothetically. The place is a bit dated but clean, including the ladies' room. They've got a full bar and give a generous pour. The beer selection is very decent and they occasionally add to it. The happy hour is fab if you can get there before seven. Lottsa TVs if you wanna catch a game. They even had hockey on this season--for this alone I'm a die hard fan. They've got a juke box if you wanna subject other patrons to your tunes. On the upside, I once heard NOFX blaring the sounds of my youth. It was a very nice surprise. The employees are all friendly. They seem to even oblige our antisocial tendencies and always let us nab a table in the corner. They are always happy to get you a drink or your food--even when it's busy. The day crew once put up with 8 of my very picky nearest and dearest and they were so patient!. Speaking of which, the food's awesome and (even better!) cheap. You cannot beat the people watching--especially late Saturday night. Some real characters show up--everybody's just looking to catch a game, get a drink or shoot some pool. This is where you'll find us most Friday evenings. We don't stay too late so as to miss the college crowd. If ya go, remember to tip your bartender well!

It's 1970's-dim inside, with outdated decor and local regulars kickin' it with other regulars.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.

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
