3 words.."not going back". I didn't see any options for food. So I'm confused about that part. The bartender wasn't attentive. The environment was a little hostile but that's not the bartenders fault even though I didn't feel comfortable. The drinks are expensive for how horrible they are. The only thing I liked was the cleanliness and music box. Didn't stay long. There was one guy there that usto work there, so he said. He was very obnoxious and disrespectful. More for the "usuals" people type of vibe. They need to step up their game if they want to make more money. The bar has the potential to be even better. Maybe learn to make a good cocktail, be aware of customers, and better bar lights. Have a karaoke night and some specials would be nice.

This is the epitome of a dive bar. You want to play a round of pool and have a budweiser? Want sports on the TV? Want a bunch of locals just hanging? Go here.

Best place for cheap beers / shots in sunnyside. Has a pool table, and is dog friendly. Not much more I could ask for.

Was vacationing in the area and heard the Jar Bar was a good place to take a break and relax from the hustle and bustle of the city, that it's like the living room of Queens. We'll i guess in a sense that's true, it took me over half an hour just to order a beer at the bar with no line because the bartender was to busy sitting at the bar and not working it. When he finally got up i asked why he'd just sat there watching me. He said it was funny to watch me getting annoyed and all i had to do was magically know he was the one working and come to him directly. Guess only locals are regulars are welcome. The rest of my time there, he was extremely rude and in no way helpful. It took asking three times what his name is (Marco or Marcus?)so I'd know who to ask for specifically if I ever came back. If you haven't already been and made friends with the staff, I wouldn't bother trying to start now.

Has a lovely backyard and friendly staff.

Fun staff, good juke box and they let you bring in food from local spots like Bolivian Llama Party.

I am obsessed with this place. They are cat and dog friendly. Honestly this is the last bar standing that has the most character in Queens plus, drinks worth your dollar. Jarbar = excellence. Selfishly, I hope my review goes under the radar, but ::sigh:: I’d be a punk not to claim Jarbar as a top 3-contender in my plethora of bar-excursions. Snap (1st picture is not at Jarbar, but shows that I’m a distinguished and reputable character. 2nd pic is the back patio of Jarbar. Man, do I love outside atmosphere as an option.) #noregrets #uberfan #jarbar

Incredible dive bar with great vibes, affordable drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. Awesome yard and you might be lucky enough to be served by the owner, Jason who is very likeable. Patronize this business!!!

A strong dive bar with good drink deals, a pool table and a welcoming bartender. But it definitely feels like a place where the owner's friends hang out but not many others. Granted, we went around 8 on a Friday, so not exactly peak hours. We were the only non-owner's-group patrons. The group there wasn't hostile in any way, but it made us feel very out of place. (I was also the only female in the bar) The bartender was very funny and chatty and the beer was good. I probably won't come here again alone or as just a pair, though with a good group in tow this could be a great place to hang out.

Honestly depending on who is working will determine the mood of the place. Different bartenders bring different vibes to the place. Hit or miss. The drinks are a decent price.

I have been in the neighborhood for years and have got to say the owner of Jar Bar, Jason, is an amazing and friendly bartender. He runs his establishment with an old school neighborhood bar feel and it's amazing to have right here in the area. Plus backyard seating! Pool Table! Darts?? Chill vibe.
