I ordered food, but it hasn’t arrived in over an hour. Make sure order only drinks.

The bouncer was very rude, I showed up for a private party and he would not let my friends and i go in at the same time and then he followed us downstairs (to the private party) to tell us that we could not take a picture in the mirror.
The bar tender Beckham was amazing though!

I hosted a private in the event oak room and it was fantastic. It’s a great space and the staff was amazing, food was great, and the folks I coordinated with were prompt and on it! Would recommend hosting an event at Jake’s dilemma!

I visited Jake's Dilemma for my Nephews Graduation/Going away event. The bar was lively when I arrived, The back section was reserved for our group. The catered finger foods that were served were good and the drinks (Open Bar) were even better..😜🥃
I would highly recommend this place for an after work or weekend meeting spot.

Racist doorman who questioned why I returned after I paid for a drink. Shameful. You don’t cure cancer, buddy. And you’re not white.

I went last night with my friends looking to have a good time, and instead, we walked out completely disappointed. Yes, the place looks amazing great decor, nice vibe but don’t let that fool you. The service was absolutely disgusting.

My friend went up to the bar to order some drinks, and the bartender treated him with a nasty, arrogant attitude. He even had the nerve to ask for money just to change the music. Are you serious? I worked in the service industry for five years, and if there’s one thing I learned, it’s that customer service is everything. That guy shouldn’t even be behind a bar, let alone dealing with people.

No matter how “pretty” a place looks, if the staff treats customers like garbage, it’s not worth a single cent. I’ll never come back there!

I felt targeted by the security. Anything I did was a threatened kick out. I tried apologizing (I don’t even know what for) and it didn’t help God forbid you breathe the wrong way there. Weirdos on a power trip!! Don’t go unless you know you can hold yourself right!

We (group 4) walked in and were the only people in the bar. They were playing Disney music really loud, we asked to turn it down (as we were the only customers) which the bar maid did…but then sneakily turned it back up again a few minutes later. We ordered 4 draft beers which were only ‘cool’ not ‘cold’ and didn’t taste great either.
The wings we ordered were good…that’s the only thing that got these 2 stars.

All in all, not a great experience.

Don’t expect anything memorable. It’s a run-of-the-mill bar—music’s not great and a little too loud. If you’re looking to have a heart-to-heart with a friend—maybe he’s going through something and needs a shoulder to cry on—look elsewhere for something more comforting.

If you’re a tourist looking for an experience, you won’t find it here. But if you’re a local, happen to be on Amsterdam Ave, need a cold beer, and don’t mind a bit of a bro vibe and a bartender who might slightly ignore you (but not in a charming, alluring way), then by all means—duck in.
