Jbar

Chicago's worst manager. The decor is great, but the management leaves a lot to be desired. I am surprised this place is still in business. There was nothing that stood out as good about the music, drinks, or the way they treat guests.

Its like that person that takes pictures with strangers and puts them on Facebook to act like they have friends. The JBar is trying hard to be something that it is not. It seems everyone else knew but me, because I made the mistake of booking my birthday at this location. The manager acted liked the place was only for people with reservsations, just to get inside to see a sparse crowd. Then, try to force you to buy additional bottles for more people to come in. When did bottle service become a requirement for entering a bar. Did I mention the place was not close to being full...at all.

Don't waste your time.…

Arrogant and Trashy. I had heard good things about J Bar but was very disappointed from the minute I walked in. The people were old and weird and the staff was arrogant. After going to the bar to order a drink the bartender mocked one of my guy friends for the drink he ordered. While standing trying to enjoy the bad drink we payed to much for we were surrounded by weird people getting a little too comfortable on the couches. For a place that looks trendy and bartenders who act like it is a very exclusive club the people did not match the attitude. There are much better places to go for a good drink with good service in chicago, I do not recommend wasting your time or your money.…

Delicious Signature Drinks!!. Alright, so I love to try new drinks because the common vodka variation gets old and my liver gets bored. Jbar has over 10 specialty drinks that each look soo delicious. While i cannot try them all in one night bc then i would be a drunk, I tried 3 different ones and each has such a unique flavor! Their signature drink, The James, so sweet and yummy....and the raspberry accents were perfect to satisfy my hunger. Even better though is that I now know that they have appetizers for half off on Wednesdays. (probably going to have to check that out bc i hear they set up a big screen for Wii...original idea, i like it :) ) And they can serve the menu from next door until a certain time (Primehouse, YUM!)

All in all though, its a small place, which if your looking for a massive commercial Excalibur or Enclave experience, its not here, but the intimacy and atmosphere is really sultry, and the crowd is the same...I will definitely be coming back with co-workers during the week (they open earlier than most nightclub/lounges, its very posh for happyhour-ish cocktails!!) and CERTAINLY to hear my favorite Mister DJ Rock City on Saturdays :)…

Great Friday Nights!. Are you sure we were at the same bar? After reading that last review i have to disagree. My girlfriends and i went there last Friday and had an amazing night! There was no cover and we ordered a bottle of PINK vodka which was only $150. We danced all night, the music was great! I could have used a little bit more room to dance, it did get a little crowed. Other than that i loved it. And not only is the bar chic so is the crowd. I will be making my way back there very soon!…
