Editorial Review for Jake's Dilemma – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Whether up front in at the bar or in the back library lounge on a couch, big groups and smaller pairs of the Upper West ilk easily settle into the party-friendly atmosphere--mellow on the weekdays, spring break-style come weekends. Happy hour and impressive almost-nightly drink specials aid beirut, pool and dart players in getting especially sloshed. Jake's has a dozen beers on draft, including Guinness, and a bevy of microbrews, including their own.

I've gone to Jake's a few times in the last few years, and everytime I go, I've had a great time. Some nights are better than others, but there are no complaints. The bartenders are on top of everything; I've never had to wait drastically long for service. Booze is decently priced, and no one is pretentious. You can talk to anyone there. Everyone there is out to get loose and have fun. You have your occasional person trying to start trouble, but the bouncers are always on top of their game. I've had such a good time there everytime I go, I seriously make it a weekly outing, b/c you never know what'll happen! Never had the food there, but it seems to get served pretty late into the evening. So if the munchies kick in, you'll def be able to get service. With Jake's, you either love it or you don't. If you think you've past your prime and too cool, then better luck else where. But if you're out to have a good fun time and relive your college days, DEFINITELY GO! It s just that kinda place.
Pros: Bartenders, Wide Selection of Beer, Good Company
Cons: No dance space, mid-size space
