The bartender tonight was terrible!! He was rude, arrogant, and the drinks were watered down. I will never go to this hole in the wall again!
No food but the atmosphere is great, been coming here for a while now and besides late nights helping Dwayne stack chairs, I’ve never had a bad time. The bartender is a great guy too.
Jake's is always a fun time to grab a pitcher with great company at the end of the night. It's always enjoyable and a must go spot in West Chester during warm summer nights. Bring cash.
An institution in West Chester for decades, you know to get cheap beer by the pitcher here. Still selling shirts for $5 many generations of students and alumni have visited these sacred stools.

Been going here since I was 22, I’m 25 now and last night Dwayne decided my ID he’s been checking for the past 3 years was fake. After calling the cops to come check it (Fair, i wouldn’t want to lose my liquor license either) he came over and told me he was going to kick me out when I tried to give him my gov. issued medical card, and Law School ID. Dwayne concluded the night by lambasting me in front of his patrons in a very immature manner, and wasting borough resources on a regular customer since college. Very disappointed in Dwayne, but will say Jake’s used to be the premier little dive bar in WC, it’s a shame Dwayne wants to behave in this manner, ruins the energy of the bar and beer.

Wow. I have never experienced such horrible service. The owner took my (25 year old) I.D. on a Monday night, claiming it was fake, it was not. He then called the police and as we waited he verbally assaulted and berated both me and my significant other and tried to kick us out while he had possession of our identification. I have been to this establishment previously and have never had an issue. It seems like the owner was on a power trip and refused to admit he was wrong. Such a shame, it used to be a good place, the owner ruined it, even his own employees admitted he was being unreasonable.
