The J Bar (Formerly The Junction)

Wow. I mean I just went to the J bar, formally known as the junction I believe and I’m just speechless. I asked for a summer shandy on draft and it came out looking like something from a movie, like the lord came and poured it with his tears, dare I say almost AI generated. I had to get a snap a picture for my family because it was just too good to be true. This fella with the buzz cut knows booze man, summer shandy or a water I can’t even tell the difference in this place !

My watering hole. OU alumni and my names on those bricks top left corner next to the water pipe. Rumple Cave had me fighting demons for years but I won. Also never seen more pairs of shoes in one bathroom stall in my life. IYKYK. Play the Hum at my funeral. $4 doubles in this economy, unbeatable. Cats by 90.

Bouncer was only letting in his “buddies” who walked up to door. Roughly ten people walked right in as he kept saying “we’re at capacity”. There were at least 10-12 people in line waiting patiently to get in.. only to have to bum rush the door and try to get in because apparently the only thing that mattered was “knowing the bouncer”. Every table was littered with drinks. Good music though, so that was nice. Don’t waste your time, unless you like being disrespected.

Wow Keenan was a blast. A very kind worker who always tended to our needs whenever we needed anything. I highly recommend the j bar especially when he is working. What a kind young man can’t recommend him and this place so much.

Good bar in Athens, the kitchen close at 9 pm, it's not so good.

Worst bar in Athens. As busy as they are you'd think they'd have a few extra staffers around to serve drinks. The people at this bar sucked but the drinks are even worse. I couldn't have gotten drunk here if my life depended on it.

It's Brew Week in Athens, Ohio.

Fun bar with great prices. We had a blast!

Not ideal

God I'm gonna miss being at jbar every night. They hire the best staff, serve the best drinks, and have the best atmosphere.

We stopped in for a beer on our way to find dinner one (early) eveningt. Brooke, our bartender was friendly and provided great service. Since it was just us in there, we had a great conversation with her and got some great restaurant recommendations (check our Ciro!). We made it a point to stop by another time and she was just as friendly - although we were happy to see she had a few more customers this time! She also gave us some great beer recommendations!
