A "Route 69" highway mural leads down into the dive-y depths of this spacious, hard-day-at-the-office bar. Its logo is Harley Davidson-style, the music classic rock and the menu strictly pub grub. A gritty bar is a gritty bar, and no one's here to toast to a big win on the market--but at least this one's clean and has all the amenities of your favorite hometown hangout--sports, video games, mounted deer heads and a pool table.

GREAT ATMOSPHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by beth10038
I have been here several times and I always have a great time. They have the best prices and service downtown. Come on Thursday for $10 special and the food is incredible as well. Leave cell phone home no reception which could be good depending on if you want to be reached or not.
- Pros: STAFF, SPACE IS TREMENDOUS
- Cons: DOWNSTAIRS
lunch special is cheaper than fast food
by eddie mac
had a burger special with four clients it was totally different than any place they had been. They were from england and enjoyed the bartender while waiting for my arrival. Its nice to know clients are taken care of when you are running late. plus the bill with drinks and lunch was under $80 for 4 people. what a deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Pros: great service
- Cons: basement bar

by Bluesman0221
To my former Wall St. "area" peers I went to JSBG recently and was saddened to see how far it has fallen from grace of the good old days. (1990 - 9/10/2001). (The short white male bar tender with the blond pony tail was the best during those times) ... when the after work happy hour was exactly that. Corporate white collar professionals cooling out .(like Mad Men) even on Saturdays , when we worked 1/2 day and went to JSBG to shoot pool, the old juke box was free all day and the lunch food was great. I gave it two trys , on the 2nd I saw a fight break out over pool game rules. There is an young rowdy crowd there now and you cant even leave change (for anything over $20 on bar to go to bathroom, it wont be there when you get back.
- Pros: size of bar. memories of old JSBG
- Cons: young rowdy crowd, jukebox, pool game fights
