Never had a problem here but enjoy it much more now they are vetting patrons more closely and playing more diverse music. Glad this institution is still available to serve the community.

My second experience was goodMy third experience ? smooth … they are a nice bar… it was too hot though they need better air circulation… because it was a peculiar odor Sunday … they need cleaner bathrooms… & i didn’t drink. The music was 3/5 …. I was there for bout 1hr. And it has gotten safer!Haven’t tried food. Idk if they have any.Nice bar. It’s a universal bar… so everyone of age is accepted .

Rather than rally support for one of the VERY FEW Chicago South Side venues catering to the LGBT+ population and its allies - that has managed to stay in business for DECADES - it’s so much easier to bash it. Dysfunction Breeds Discord. I appreciate the resilience of the business and its long history of providing a safe space for mainly Black LGBT+ folks on the South Side. It’s never been upscale but I don’t think it was intended to be. Back in the day, it was a rare watering hole for locals and none ever worried about murder on or near the premises because the neighborhood was quite decent. No more. While I think it’s unfortunate young people no longer have the JP as a convenient spot, they still have the other spot not too far away. I applaud the JP owner for his bold move to make the space safer AND attract patrons who are not caught up in the rap sway. I plan to continue patronizing the business, unless and until I’m given reason to no longer do so.

Their DJ played music from the usual suspects like MJ, Rick James and everyone else except PRINCE! Sorry but I give this pub a one star rating!??

The last time I been this hell hole was back in 2012- I never liked the pub because it's too ghetto and unprofessional. I would never step feet back in this hole-in the wall club ever again...Besides, I have no reason to go to this club because I moved from the southside of Chicago years ago. I can't even remember when I had a good time at this place....If I do go to clubs or bars, it's in an upscale neighborhood.
I've never been to this place but after hearing about the recent tragedy on the news with 3 young men being killed in a hit and run outside the Pub - now I am nervous to visit this location. Not to say that I never will attend.. but when terrible things like that happen, it makes you think twice about visiting. When you go to a club you should feel safe - have fun and expect to get home safely without any fighting or murders taking place in or outside the club. Apparently now this club is only allowing people 30 and older to attend- And as I write this review I just realized I'm not even old enough to attend yet!!How sad is that. It's so unfortunate that something bad has to happen in order for there to be change! We all must be extra careful nowadays when going out. & make sure you go with someone who can account for you when something goes wrong.

rude, not concerned with the clientele. As we've seen the owner is clueless about the neighborhood they serve

Came here to support a black business while I was visiting from out of town and they were closed with no notice. Tried coming here on 2 separate night with the same results (4/28 and 4/30/2022). I even reach out on Facebook and Instagram to see if they would be open and no response. Smh wasted money on Uber/Lyft.
