Gentleman Jim's

Visiting a friend in Vallejo and just finished having lunch and wanted to explore her new neighborhood since she moved from Bay Point. We started googling and yelping and found this bar out of no where. Read the reviews and said let's go! It's nothing fancy on the outside and not in the best location either the freeway literally across the road. The establishment is right next door to a dilapidated building which used to be a pizza joint. The minute you walk into this bar you are hit with a very strong smell of cigarettes... coming from a former smoker I did not complain. It did take quite a while to get used to the smell... if I still smoked I would have enjoyed the covered back "patio" where everyone was smoking. Besides that, the bar was pretty open and it looked like there were a lot of locals just hanging out having a good time on a Saturday afternoon. The bartender was super nice and made our drinks very quickly. We ordered a round of drinks that were pretty basic and they came very strong, not complaining here. Had a pineapple and vodka in a tall glass and it was great. The margarita on the rocks was good as well. What I loved is the music they were playing! Definitely some early 2000's jams that I could sign along to and feel young again lol.Later in the evening they open their dance floor and they even have a stage for live music. The bar itself was pretty nice and clean... don't let the location fool you! Don't judge a book by its cover is what I have to say. They do charge a cover after midnight of $5 since it turns in to more of dancing club. Other photos show food but we didn't get a menu or anything so I'm assuming people just bring in their own food. If you are around this little hidden gem stop by and have a cocktail with some locals in the neighborhood !

Came to play pool around 11 am wanted to put on some music for the vibes. Apparently the juke box was turned off and they wouldn't turn it on. O well I guess

Upon walking in, I walked right back out. It's clear this isn't a safe spot for a woman to visit by herself. Can't say more than that. Women beware.

No smoking inside. Full bar with pool tables inside. Space for a band or karaoke but closed off tonite. Tables and 2 of 3 working tvs in the back patio. 2 electronic dart games. Lots of random swarms of flies for some reason. Downfall is no food!!! I was ready to have some pizza or wings and fries while watching the game.

Tara is amazing! Best bartender in this bar. She will help make anything you desire! Very friendly service

This place is a hidden gem! I have passed by this place a million times on the freeway and would have never considered going inside of it. A friend and I were searching online for local karaoke bars and this one came up in our search. I was extremely skeptical. I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the building. There was a very kind security officer at the door. He greeted us warmly and at the end of the night he walked up to our cars. The bartenders were simply amazing! Beautiful, fun, and witty, and they made us feel like family right away. They pour amazing drinks and at one point there was a pizza place next door (it burned down, sadly) and the bartenders would give you a ticket and you could get a whole delicious pizza for $10! This place is hella fun. The KJ is super fun and keeps the show moving. There are always a lot of karaoke singers and dancers who are simply having a great time. This has become a regular karaoke spot for me and my friends. I drive about 40 minutes each way just to come to karaoke at Jim's. I feel welcome here. I feel safe, and I always get great laughs and have a good time. Lesson: Don't judge a book by its cover!

I have been never been treated better, this place has GREAT service, it's clean and they got your back, THANK YOU ALL. TAMMY

Love/hate relationship with this place. They have the best pool tables in the area but if you're a woman traveling solo I'd say go to Townhouse instead. Some of the men there give an unsettling vibe and often make me feel uncomfortable. I feel safer when the women bartenders are there. The male bartender was kind of rude too, I think his name was Wayne.

I went to Gentleman Jims for my first time recently to see Dgroove band. I went alone and discovered a clean and well-attended nightclub. My drink was weak and small for what I paid, but that was okay as I had to drive myself home later. I felt the man at the door, Security, would have walked me to my car if I had asked. It was a dark and rainy night.

The drinks are amazing. The service is great. It's a vibe with the music and people around.
