Every Wednesday night, they have trivia. They also have open mic comedy nights and karaoke. Many, many screens to watch the games from. The atmosphere is definitely fun. Everyone is welcomed don't get me wrong, they have their locals / regulars, but those of us visiting for the first time immediately become part of the family. The bartenders are great. Shout out to my favorite bartender, Rachel!! They have a great variety of drinks and food options. You have to try their chicken Ceasar Wrap! There is plenty of seatting, a couple of pool tables, and of course the jukebox, fun fact they have an app you can use to control the jukebox and there is plenty of parking. Highly recommend you stop by for a drink or two.

Terrible place for karaoke. Don’t put you on a rotation despite asking to. Drinks are ok. Food is ok.

I didn't know they close at 1 am but I showed up around 1240. While I walked towards the door and employee was walking inside and I was stopped by her in the doorway stating "we stopped serving" followed by her without a second to react, literally slamming the door and walking away. It appeared to me she had also locked it but I did not try to open the door. From my view through the windows, there appeared to be 10 or so customers playing pool and finishing their night. I would have apologized for the misunderstanding on hours on my part and come back another day but I couldn't have opened my mouth and began to speak as she turned and Slammed the doors, locking them with customers inside, and walked away so fast. Zero stars for service.

Wish I could have had an experience with this place. Not sure the name of the bartender, but she is short and has brown hair. Got off work and was standing outside about to walk in and she ran to the door and slammed it saying they are no longer serving. I’m ok with a business wanting to close. But the sheer rudeness was mind boggling.

At J. Michael's, I was sure to find something delicious for me. They’ve got plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available. I was excited to be serviced by our local neighborhood pub and eatery!Great food and servers are awesome. Highly recommend coming for dinner or one of their various event nights such as trivia and karaoke.If Guy Fieri ate here I think he’d say something like, “mmmMMM, brother! Now, that’s one burger straight out of Flavortown!” Or something akin to that I suppose. He’d be right of course because the Deluxe burger from their menu really is straight out of Flavortown. My wife highly recommends the Jalapeño Poppers but she did not appreciate my “childish humor” when I made a play on words by referring to them as “Jalapeño Poopers.”Great bar! And eatery!Parking: If you’re lucky you can park directly across from Ben Franklins! I like imagining myself going in there to get supplies to make a sweater or something.
Bartender tattooed lady rude and doent know her drinks, couldn't make a maintain and ordered a Cosmo and it wasn't even pink, stay away.

Normally come in on sundays to shoot pool and have a good time, bar tender has always been very nice, came in on July 5th no customers in the bar and tried to have a happy bar tender thought breaking the ice with a little joke would be ok and bar tender was not friendly by any means we drink our one drinks paid tab and left immediately. I don't ever complain but for the first time I was not happy about spending money and feeling like we were not we

Almost the same as it was 20 years ago, with some minor updates. It was great to see it very busy for a Wednesday happy hour.
