J J's Bar & Grill

We decided to try this lil spot as it was close to our hotel. Just wanted some wings and thought we were gone just order n go but we ended up staying all night. The food ( wings and salad was great but the fish and chips left much to be desired) and the service started out a lil iffy but got better. It's a little bar with pool tables and darts, they had a live dj and was doing karaoke but I ordered a beer and we didn't leave because the music was awesome and we met many cool people there. Everyone was friendly. Definitely a go to spot when we come back to Kent.

Week 26/52 in my endeavor to try one new (to me) local spot per week! For those who don't know... I play darts. Bar darts, not steel tip. If you're ever at a dive (most likely) bar, and there's big, electronic dart boards? I play on those, competitively! It's not like the Olympics or anything. It's just a bunch of people who can aim decently but like to drink beer at the same time. We have leagues, tournaments, competitions, etc.Anyways, I digress. League is BACK "post-Covid" (although we're still very much in a pandemic), and our weekly league took us to JJ's! I'd say the atmosphere is very comparable to any other dive bar.Layout is nice, bar staff is really kind, and the owner is often there, hanging out and mingling with everyone! If you check in on Yelp, I think you can even redeem a high five or "hello" from him. LOL I haven't had food here yet, but it all smelled great. Drink prices are comparable to most other bars as well. All in all - it's a dive bar! And it's a great dive bar experience at that. Friendly people, clean environment... Can't really complain. Looking forward to playing here more.

Wow. Just wow. The food here was incredible. Walked in with low expectations and they blew me straight out the door. Chorizo might be the best I've ever had. Chicken wings are incredible. Don't let the outside fool you. This place is straight fire and everyone was super friendly. Will be back every time I'm in the area.

Simply a fun bar! Everyone is welcome. Friday and Saturday nights are karaoke. It just hella pack up in here and the bartenders are wonderful!

Discovered this great dive bar last night for NYE. The KJ karaoke DJ was pretty nice and the crowd was pretty diverse and friendly.I love love the interior of it and my only complaint was the bartender was a bit of an assclown. I have the curse of being a very bubbly person which makes me come across a little loud and happy and I guess he thought I had been drinking before hand and only let me have one drink.I didn't even get any of the NYE champagne maybe get to know your clientele first before making baseless assumptions but other than that it was a good time and I'll go back again and hopefully he won't be there.

Stopped here after attending celebration of life for family friend. Great eats and pours. Definitely will back when in the area! Prices were good as well. little difficult getting in. Very small curb to hop then steep concrete ramp through front door but doable with assistance.

First have to say love me a good local dive! Felt right at home when we walked in the door! The bartender Nancy was awesome! Good cheap drinks, great liquor selection, good bar food, and fun games! Def can't wait to go back!

Been driving past this place for 2 years thinking it looked like a really cool spot to grab a drink. And boy was I right. The place feels a lot bigger inside than it looks on the outside. The parking seems small but fits a good amount of cars. The bar had great lighting, and when you walk in- to your right there's 2 pool tables and to your left there's another room with electric darts all along the wall. We ordered mac & cheese, 12pc honey chipotle wings and don julio w/ grapefruit juice. Mac & cheese came in fried bites form and it was crunchy and cheesy. The wings were a great size, large and covered in sauce. I'd definitely come back for the wings! Bartender was a sweetheart, and made sure we had everything we needed before we digged in. Large space, bathrooms are clean, a lot of tables and chairs. Great spot to grab a drink, some food and enjoy the vibe!They have TouchTune Jukebox- download the app on your phone for easy music choosing.

Ineeda is the best bartender in the area! Love the energy and they have pull tabs! First time for me playing but it was worth the $10 even though I lost.Friendly local vibe with nice patrons. The food, get the TACOS. Literally they have some of the best street tacos. Get the Jalepeno Poppers as an appetizer, delish and fresh. Lots of drink options, pool tables and large group seating available!

Darnell is the man! Great food and drinks! He is a one man unit, cooking, pouring drinks and doing pull tabs!
