Great venue for a private party!! The upstairs space is perfect and the staff is so accommodating. Best orange crushes in town

I love jakes the food is amazing the service was great till recently the new bartender has been acting weird towards most of the regulars that are not WHITE. I but 3 stars because ive met and made alot of connections but when customers come in for the first time and are ignored does that really make you feel welcomed? I have heard him say side comments when i would try to play Hispanic music on the juke box and has grabbed my drinks that were not finished without asking or excusing himself..its the simple things that make you feel welcomed . Lately it hasnt been feeling like my local bar but more as in only white establishment .. especially with everything going on in the world we need to do better as a community.

My bartender Gabby was fantastic—engaging, professional, and knowledgeable. She was personable and made excellent recommendations, and every drink she prepared was delicious, especially her outstanding margarita. Despite managing a large party of 15, she still provided attentive service to her bar guests. I was very impressed and will definitely be returning to see her

I was charged three different times and the third charge shouldn’t have been there. I saw $50 was taken off my card and I wasn’t even there. Very disappointed.

Landy was an exceptional bartender focusing on quick drink returns and superiors customer service. Jake’s is a place I will frequently come back to thank to her.

We were the only back people in the bar and were repeatedly ignored by the bar tender. I mean literally everyone around me was served as I was standing at the bar. 0 out 10 do not recommend.

Great local spot with tasty food inspired by New Orleans. Best red beans in the district and the gumbo ain’t bad either. Catfish and shrimp baskets are a must try.

Jake’s is a great neighborhood bar. Very friendly staff and excellent food.
I came to this bar hoping to enjoy a good time and play some music through the TouchTunes app. However, every time I played Spanish songs, THE VOLUME WAS NOTICEABLY LOWERED to the point where I could barely hear them. In contrast, when English songs played, the VOLUME WAS RAISED AGAIN. If the venue doesn't want certain genres or languages played, then maybe those options shouldn't be available on the app or dont have the app.
We had a few drinks and tried to enjoy ourselves regardless, but it was hard to ignore the pattern. My girlfriend was especially uncomfortable with what felt like a disrespectful and biased action. When we brought this up to the waitress, she offered a refund and asked if we wanted water—completely dismissing what my girlfriend had expressed. That response felt shallow and unprofessional.
Honestly, I care less about the money and more about how we were made to feel. I won’t be coming back.

This is a chill spot tucked in Shaw. Good crowd, attentive staff. Beer selection was good. Their Jake's lager is an easy-drinking beer. The food was quite tasty as well!
