I caused zero problems and was ousted after tipping well because of unfounded rumors from another establishment. BS! Want to be snitched on for a DUI? If so, drink here.

It was a nice little bar and the owner was great. Just not much seating inside.

JaxBar is a hidden gem that leans into its charm. It’s small and cozy—definitely not built for big crowds—but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in atmosphere. The space was clean, the bartender was welcoming, and the drink selection hit a satisfying balance of variety and quality.
What really sets it apart is the character woven into the place. The blown-up photos of old downtown give the bar a nostalgic, artistic edge, and the bar top made entirely out of pennies? That’s the kind of detail you remember long after the last round. It’s not just decoration—it’s personality.
If you’re looking for a chill spot with thoughtful touches and a relaxed vibe, JaxBar delivers.

JaxBar has the perfect atmosphere if you’re looking for a quaint local experience. The bar itself is small in size making it easy to be a part of the conversation. Although it’s small it contains plenty of character and characters. Proper drinks from friendly bartenders surrounded by plenty of locals that seemed to become your friends as soon as you walk in. Jax is always doing something to help their local community as well. Another great reason to visit.

Just a good wholesome bar not sure if they have food there though and that's why I didn't put stars there, shots are a little expensive

Ridiculously unorganized and unkempt bar… bartender declined a friend and acted like they were a criminal on their 21st birthday….. the owner was perched at barstool at the restaurants bar and would rather ban me and my friends from entering rather than actually discuss any type of their incorrect actions. Also… blatantly disregarded ohio liquor law :)

Rude inappropetiate and unprofessional bartender. Not the usual well trained staff. Didn't want to make signature cocktails just pour shots.
Been here a couple of times, it's a cozy place. Didn't order off the menu because there was a lonely bartender in a full bar. But he was as fast as he could be! A good spot with a decent selection of spirits.
Parking: Free parking garage is literally across the street.

Stopped in on my way to cedar point. Small little place but reasonably priced and great energy will definitely stop in here again highly
