We enjoyed the Fun With Dick and Jane show on the second last night for Jolene's. The venue closed permanently on October 29. It was a wonderful, intimate place to enjoy drinks and live music - it is very unfortunate that it is closed.

A great local place; a bit small but they can accommodate more space if needed!! Drinks and food were very good and not too expensive...the musical entertainment when we there, on a Friday evening, was superb!!!!

This is our 3rd time coming here but first time this season when they opened. My husband and I recently moved a half mile from Jolene’s and we were thrilled to be so close and support a local close business. They no longer have their previous menu which was limited but good. Now they are changing menus each night basically bringing in food truck vendors which I have no issue with. I went to order one item and they were out and we had just arrived before many others. My husband ordered the tacos. He said they weren’t bad but the beans and rice were stone cold. I was so frustrated to learn what I wanted was out with only 8 people there that I decided to pass on ordering anything else and go home and make a sandwich. Prices of food truck meals with part of the food being cold don’t justify coming back. We also came at 5:45 just before the show was to start of which we saw advertised was to start at 6 pm. It is going on 7 pm and still no show. So based on this train wreck of an experience, we walked out before the show started so as to not be trapped there while the show was going on.This will likely be our last time here. It’s basically a bar with limited space and not a whole lot of ambience. The place could be so much more than it is. We made the decision to leave before the show started. Best of luck guys with your place but you need to really get it together.And then to top it off I get home and checked email to find out that the restaurant cancelled my Open Table reservation. We bought two drinks and chips and guacamole plus tacos. Despite not staying for the show there is NO areas on our reservation should have been cancelled due to your incompetence. I want my points back!!

Enjoyed breakfast here. Coffee was not so great. Our server, Sylla, was wonderful. Front desk lady and I shared great conversations. She almost convinced me to retire from the east coast ☺️

We love Jolene's ! Cozy neighborhood bar with great entertainment and the nicest staff you can find. Always a nice bunch of people there - makes me proud to be a “local” and we will support this delightful club as long as it is there. They just closed for the summer - but we'll be back in September!

Great service, fun local crowd and nice food selection, mostly small plates and light bites. Only complaint is the sound level of the live music. For the size of the venue, they need to turn the amp down a few notches.

The entertainment is amazing. Patrice Morris performs on Friday nights and she is phenomenal. The menu is limited but everything on it is very good. I love the wedge salad and I always ask them to chop it up. That makes it easier to eat. Sometimes I add some chicken and it is very good. The staff is great and the cocktails are very tasty. Make sure that you make a reservation because the space is very limited. Ask for a table in the front bar room where the entertainment is. The VIP room is the room in the back. It is quieter but the front space is more exciting.

Music, food, and great atmosphere.

Great bar! Nice ambiance, great bands and dancing.

The Desert Crows were fantastic, ambiance is great. Wish they wouldn't close for the summer and wish they were a bit larger but the six of us will definitely go back many times— one of our new favorites!!

Another really great night at Jolene's! This is a perfect neighborhood romp for locals and visitors as well. Too bad it is so tiny, but then that also ads to the family vibe. This week there were loads of hilarious answers people wrote down to the question posed ... "why did Billy Joe McAllister jump off the Tallahatchie Bridge" ... they were read out loud and the audience howled. Great music, fun vibe, nice people!

They have some really great live music. The venue is intimate. Inside, when a band is playing it can be quite loud and a fun energy. People get up and dance. When there is live music, you can also go outside on the front patio with the fire pit to have distance to be able to chat. Everything that we have ordered so far has been tasty. Great flat bread!
