They have cheap drinks (beer & hard liquor), staff that won't take ur BS but is the best when it comes to taking care of their regulars. The patio is lowkey the place to be on any given night + they have karaoke (Sat & Sun?) & pool tables inside & out. They close @2am, which in the area makes them the last call for any day that ends in -"y" and a great wya to end ur nite pre-WaffleHouse lol

I had a really disappointing experience here due to the behavior of someone associated with the…read morestaff. One of the bartenders apparently only works one shift a week but frequently comes in as a guest. During my visit, she became aggressive and confrontational and attempted to start an argument with me over her boyfriend. There were at least four witnesses who agreed that I did nothing wrong and that I actually walked away from the situation. Despite that, we were still "politely asked to leave" while she continued to escalate and lose control. It's frustrating to see this kind of behavior tolerated, especially from someone connected to the staff. Management really needs to do a better job of controlling situations like this and ensuring that employees (on or off the clock) act like adults in a bar setting. Because of this experience, I won't be returning and I'm unsure whether my local friends will continue to frequent this place.

okay, here's the thing: a name is a name is a name; there ain't no lake and there never was. and…read moreso, despite assurances to the contrary, I feel justified in questioning Jay's existence as well. regardless, it was all trafficky and annoying on Statesville Road but I figured it's gotta be at least 84% better "at the lake" so there I went. FYI: the parking lot is a nightmare of bumps, pots, holes, gravel and I'm glad I've got this truckster because the other one sits kinda low and would have tore out the floor pans... there's fewer people inside than there are vehicles out front - which is odd but not particularly creepy - and every seat at the bar has a body in it either talking too loudly about, or half listening to, various and assorted abuses of the truth. seems like most of 'em know most of the others but not everyone knows all of 'em, so yeah it's a sampling of the regulars. a longer bar might be nice but would probably mean more regulars already here and still no place for a random visitor... nothing on tap but it's a liquor bar and the tender will mix or pour or un-cap whatever you think you need until you demonstrate that you don't need any more... followed by an attempt to secure safe passage home - or so the story goes. in closing: I'd totally rate Jay's at a single star but the reasoning would be lost on most all y'all.

It's a nice cozy spot with outdoor seating as well. Small parking lot but also street parking. There are normally food trucks present and each night has a theme. There are often DJs there playing. It's a relaxing and chill atmosphere and I enjoy it. They have a humidor where you can purchase cigars. You can purchase a membership or pay each time you go (just do the membership). This is someplace I would go and relax even if I didn't smoke cigars. It's a great environment, people are friendly, food trucks are cool, and just a great vibe.

Basically, its one narrow room with a bar running down the right side, and a little alcove in the back left that leads to a miniscule back patio area. What it lacks in space, however, it makes up for in atmosphere. People pack in here, either watching a game, listening to music on the house speakers or, on occasion, live music. Not for the claustrophobic, but a good place to be seen starting or ending your evening.
