Hidden gem in the East village! Every night something fun going on whether it be trivia or comedy. Great cocktails and a great place to host your private event. Definitely the best after work spot in the East village for a drink with your friends.

I had my 30th birthday here and it was such a fun time! I was able to book one of the private areas and it felt very secluded. The open bar package was also perfect. The vibes are great. Highly recommend reaching out for your next party!

We reserved the back room here for a birthday party of 15 people from 7 - 10pm on a Friday and it was perfect! The space is private and it was the perfect size. Everyone from our party could order regularly through the bar (there wasn't a minimum or single tab required). Making the reservation was super easy too - was able to just text Rory to get it all set up.The bartenders were so friendly and provided great service, they even offered a few birthday shots. They let us bring decorations and cake, and offered to store the cake in the fridge for us until we were ready for it. The atmosphere was great - it was busy but not too crowded in the main part of the bar and there was music playing but not too loud so we could still hear each otherOur group had a great time & would highly recommend!

Hosted my friend's birthday party here (~30 people) and it was a great, seamless experience from start to finish. Booking the VIP room here is such a steal - super cute atmosphere, great affordable drinks, and a good DJ / dancey music. Rory was great at communicating every step of the way and generally the staff was so warm and hospitable. Would love to book here again.

What an amazing bar. Been here a few times during the week and on the weekends. During the week its such a nice fun chill vibe. Met all the bartenders and they are all so friendly, welcoming and provide the best service. Even the bouncer on the weekends is super cool and chill.Weekends are a lot of fun its an amazing place to go and dance with awesome music. They have DJs on the weekends and the mixes are awesome. They book a lot of parties on the weekends from what it seems and with good reason, its such a fun vibe and ambiance. Will definitely be having my party here they don't even have a minimum of fee for the space!!!!!!Amazing drinks and bar snacks The pizza, pigs in a blanket, and pretzel sticks are amazing. The cocktails are so delicious. The spicy margarita, Mr Thursday and Black mule are to die for. Highly recommended to come here whether you're with a group by yourself or looking for your next party venue.

I could not recommend Juke Bar more highly. They have the kindest/friendliest/most genuine bartenders and staff in the city. I organized a surprise party here for my friend who moved away, and the whole process was seamless—they were very communicative and accommodating. Juke Bar forever!!

I stumbled across this amazing lil bar while waiting for a reservation nearby. Grabbed a quick cocktail which was AMAZING (all of them are so good). While looking at their menu I saw they do private/semi private events for NO FEE and thought it was too good to be true. But ITS TRUE!! I had an amazing experience celebrating my birthday there last week. Their events coordinator Rory was very quick to answer all my questions and they were accommodating to housing 50+ people in their second room with some of my friends DJing. Conor and Conall were there that night to help us set up and service the bar, and they were an absolute delight! The space is great, the drinks and great and vibes are great. Absolutey will be hosting something else here sometime down the line and you should too!!!!

Go somewhere else for hosting a private party. If you are lucky enough to get a response when inquiring about a party, consider yourself winning the lottery.NOTE:***Juke Bar averages 2 reviews given a month, with the last review two weeks ago before this one. All of a sudden, 9 five-star reviews today in a span of a few hours right after this exact review. I speculate an attempt to bury this review. Also, some of the reviews and reviewers of Juke Bar appear to be oddly identical to the Mayfly Bar***Anyway, every 10 days or so, Juke Bar posts on social media that they host private parties for no minimum and no fees. Don't expect a response though when inquiring.1) First attempt: When inquiring about hosting a party, their website directs you to a party hosting web form. Over a week, we did not hear a response.2) Second attempt: We decided to try to email them with the address listed on their website. Over a week and no response.3) Third attempt: Since I see that they advertise on social media so often about their private parties they can host, let's try that. I mentioned how we did not receive a reply back via the web form or email. Three days and no response.4) Fourth attempt: We decided to call them to see if they are still hosting private parties. Bartender said yes they are and he'll be sure to pass on our info to a person named Rory. He took down the name we used to contact them. A few days have passed and no response.*Update: turns out the webform they use puts you on their subscriber list. The first spam email: "We host private parties for no fees and no minimum."**Second update: they replied back on social media asking for the name used on the inquiry email/form. Ummm..maybe if you replied back to all your inquires, you wouldn't have to ask about the name used? Whether you are able to host or not, reply back. By the time they had responded on social media, we had gladly chosen someplace else. Eleven days after submitting the original request form, we still have not received a response through the form or email. The only response has been through social media, where three days later they only asked who submitted the form and then, when I didn't respond because I had chosen somewhere else, decided to harass me because I submitted a poor review of their "service."Maybe Juke Bar is great when it comes to hosting private parties, if you do get a miracle response. Having been to the bar itself a few times, it's your average bar. In the meantime, it's not worth the time to try and reach them for any party inquires. I would go someplace else.

My best friend and I have thrown our birthday party here for the past two years and absolutely LOVE it. Such a good atmosphere, cheap drinks and the staff is unmatched. Best place in the city for a party! Thanks so much to Rory and team as always!
