JC'S Pub

Dinner dateMy dad passed away last year and my mom had some Groupons that she wanted to take advantage of. Enter, me. This is totally not the place I'd generally go, nor expect my parents to go. This is your standard West Allis corner bar where locals end up, but it's got a great atmosphere and the food isn't bad either. On the first stop I had a burger which was just so-so, but I really enjoyed their Old Fashioned. On the second stop, I had a delish 12" ham and pineapple (spicy!) pizza which made for great leftovers. Staff is friendly. I'll definitely stop again without the Groupon in the future.

I'm always looking for a new place to try and I thought that I would stop over for a cocktail and some takeout for dinner. The place is a nice neighborhood bar/restaurant and not hi class but not divy in any way with a pool table in the front window and a stage area in the other front window, I just really liked how it's on an upper level. The menu is typical bar food with specials and a Friday fish fry but the smash burger sounded good with tator tots. I skipped the craft beer this time and went with a whiskey sour old fashioned which was ok with fresh muddled fruit that kept getting stuck in my straw.First off they really need to explain the super fu%king awesome tots in full because they are not just tots but a golf ball size tot with bacon and cheese in them and delicious. The smash bacon cheeseburger was also really good with fresh lettuce, tomato, red onions, bacon and American cheese cooked pink on a fresh bun. How does this place have 0 pictures of the awesome tots on Yelp is beyond me but I'm changing that.For a nice cocktail and dinner to go for $15 and change that was pretty good from a neighborhood bar always amazes me when they have like 4 pictures that doesn't tell the story so the Steve stop buy is always a plus for the business. This place is a great spot for drinks and some food after work for sure.

I walked in on a Saturday night, there was a band playing and it was not very busy at all. There were 2 bartenders on duty at that time (between 8pm-9pm) and the blonde female was at the north west corner talking to 2 people and looked our way and then turned and continued talking with no acknowledgement to all 6 of us at all. The dark haired male bartender was at the register and again saw us at the bar and no acknowledgement from him as well. We sat for over 8 minutes exactly waiting for some kind of service from them. And still NOTHING. I finally spoke up loud enough and asked for some service or shall we just get our own drinks...... again NOTHING from either one of the 2!!!! All 6 of us walked out and went to the Jock stop and had the best service around!!!I am a very pissed off fellow bartender for the very rude and non-existent service we received that night !!!!!! Shame on them for terrible service!

I have been here twice- for lunch and then late night snacks- and I'm incredibly satisfied. The menu is actually more extensive than I was expecting and great bang for your buck. The mozzarella wonton sticks are pretty phenomenal and I'll be craving them for a while. The bartender tonight was helpful and kind. Oh! An the tater tots? Phenomenal as well. I had some left over and put them in my eggs this morning and was very happy.

I stopped there for Mondays weak ass nachos nachos in a Budweiser greatest deal in my life 7 1/2 bucks nachos are five dollars on Mondays and beer is 2 1/2 dollars meal arrived in a large pizza box I had enough to take home for two days

It's a decent atmosphere with good music. I haven't yet tried any food here. What bothers me is the last 3 Fridays I have come here and ordered the EXACT same drink each time, was a completely different price without explanation. Service even before it's packed is SUPER SLOW! The smoking area outside is nice but lacks a heater or maybe a covering. Bathroom stall doesn't lock and the crowd outside after closing is pretty sketchy. They also close 30 mins earlier than nearby bars.

My husband wanted to take me out for an early dinner and drinks, he had been to JCs' before, and said it was really good.Being early, on a Monday, before a Packer game, it was pretty empty. There was a small group of people diagonally across the bar that the bartender was spending most of her time with. She did make it over to take our drink orders. After a drink or two, we ordered food. Mini tacos for an appetizer (she wasnt aware they were on the menu), burgers for both of us ( I ordered mine without jalapenos), fries and the tots.We were waiting quite awhile, even with the bartender coming over a couple of times, and I had to ask her about the mini tacos. She forgot to order them. Our entire order should have been out by this time, and finally the tacos arrive, burned and nasty. Our plates arrived, my burger with the jalapenos that I didnt want. My husband's fries were cooked to death and cold. The bartender explained this was her 3rd day working here, and the cook was new as well. She didnt charge for the tacos, which we didnt eat. Nor did we eat the fries. The drinks were rang up wrong. I realize the shortage of workers out there is a problem, but there are some basic things missing here. Hopefully they can get it together before this ship sinks.

terrible service, I witnessed the owner, jeffrey c, treat a customer with horrible actions and it made the food that much worst! Will not be returning unfortunatel.

Food is great, atmosphere is great, good variety on drinks. Have an outdoor deck as well.

Food is great. I've mainly tried burgers so far, but I promise you won't be disappointed. They'll ask you pink or no pink - which can be a red flag. Not here. I get the feeling that their rare-ish or well done burgers are both delicious for different reasons. The bacon and cheese tots are unique and incredibly delicious.If you want bar food, this is about as good as it can get.
