My husband and I visited for a (very rare) date night and while rushing out of the door I forgot my wallet. I thought no big deal, as I wasn’t drinking anyways. We seated ourselves across from the bar and the waitress comes up and rudely asks to see our IDs. I politely told her I’m not drinking and only wanted water and she told us we couldn’t sit there and had to go to the other room (which was all reserved). So we ended up finding an uncomfortable seat behind their “Barrier”. Which was like 15 steps from where we were at originally and could fully see the bar still….I really don’t mind rules, but what I do mind is when there isn’t consistency! A couple similar to our age (30s) weren’t even asked to see identification and they ordered beers right in front of us….It’s super frustrating. Especially when I had NO intention to drink.I will say our food was really good, but I don’t feel like we treated fairly!

A real pub experience. Shepherds pie, fish and chips, potato leek soup, Belhaven Scottish Ale on nitro tap and many more. Stop by at least once. Grab an open table or a seat at the bar and take a step into another time and another place.Vegetarian options: There is a delicious house made veggie burger and the curry and chips (don't add the chicken) is worth the trip.

Corned beef and cabbage are amazing, everything here is delicious, and JK's has been a consistently excellent pub for decades.

The general manager (Shawn McCarthy) and two waitresses (?) were so rude to my friends and I on separate occasions. For honestly no reason. Just rude people. Maybe they were having a bad day. Food was decent, I've had better at Irish pubs. I like the new patio, that was a cool new experience for downtown Fort Wayne. The poor service and the way we were treated is going to be enough for me not to return.

I really enjoy patronizing this establishment. Their service is exceptional. Food is always good. Scotch eggs and bangers and mash is very good. Many options of beer on tap. My wife loves the fish and chips.

Worst customer service in town. Unreal, Shawn McCarthy has to be the definition of who you don't hire to run your business! Stay away and find a business who appreciates the people who pay their bills. I hope this is the next restaurant to go under in Fort Wayne!
Only thing I saw was kinda bad is not enough seating. You have set yourself so you’re walking around looking silly trying to find a place to sit. If they seated you they could at least tell you how long of a wait time and they get you a table.
