Service (9 out of 10)
mentioned by 64% of the guests
The service here is truly something special, earning an excellent score of 9 and an impressive customer satisfaction rate of 93.3%. Out of 30 customer remarks, a whopping 28 were glowing, praising the top-notch *customer service*, *friendly staff*, and *knowledgeable bartenders*. Many highlighted the *owner* and *bartender Sean* for their engaging conversations and helpful recommendations, making every visit memorable.
However, not every experience was perfect, with 2 less favorable comments among the 30. A few patrons felt a particular *bartender* was less than hospitable, making them feel unwelcome. This isolated incident suggests that while the overall service is outstanding, there might be rare moments where the warmth isn't quite consistent.

- bring in your own foodMy experience at this restaurant was great, especially with the super nice bartenders and an awesome selection of draft, bottled, and canned beer & wine. It would be nice if they offered a few fresh food options like salads or wraps, but they are very accommodating as they don't mind if you bring in your own food. They are also dog-friendly!
- communityThere are a few places to sit with friends, or you can grab a seat at the large bar. The owners are a wonderful couple that really loves their community. It's worth it to make this a regular stop!
Frequently criticized
- bartenderThe beer was really delicious, though we only had one. However, the bartender wasn't hospitable, almost like we were bothering him by our presence. We asked if we could change the music to something more upbeat, and he put on speed metal.
- welcomeIt felt like asking to borrow his car or something. We don't know if this was the owner or just an employee, but hey, we wanted to stay for a while but decided against it because it felt we weren't welcome. Two stars for the beer.
If youre looking for genuinely friendly and knowledgeable staff, this place is absolutely worth a visit. You can expect excellent service and great conversation, making it a fantastic choice for a relaxed outing. While a rare off-day might occur, the overwhelming positive experiences suggest youll be in good hands.

mentioned by 85% of the guests
The ambience here is a real winner, scoring a 8.3 and boasting an excellent customer satisfaction of 92.4% across 61 positive remarks out of 66 total. Guests consistently rave about the cozy welcoming vibe, great music (especially the curated vinyl selection), and the chill atmosphere. Its celebrated as a "dog friendly" neighborhood spot with fun "retro game nights" and pinball.
While overwhelmingly positive, a few comments mention specific music choices like "speed metal" not fitting everyones taste. There were also isolated remarks about wobbly tables and one person describing it as an industrial rundown taproom. However, these are minor points compared to the overall positive sentiment.

- nameI enjoyed the jazz. The name is misleading, as a disco/house head I had different expectations, but the vibe is very draft and very punk, so the name fits. Glad it's part of the neighborhood.
- wobbly tablesThe tap list is consistently excellent, and I've discovered a few new excellent beers thanks to their curation. There are plenty of nice tables, though some can be problematically wobbly, so watch your glass of beer when someone sits down.

Great Vibe, Excellent Beer Selection
I love hanging out at this place. It has an incredibly sincere and chill vibe, with great decorations. The tap list is consistently excellent, and I've discovered a few new excellent beers thanks to their curation.
There are plenty of nice tables, though some can be problematically wobbly, so watch your glass of beer when someone sits down. The bottle fridge is relatively small but offers a wide range and generally very good selections. I like how the bartenders play whole albums; it's a nice change of pace from random streaming or the radio, though it may not be to everyone's taste.
They also have some pretty decent live music regularly!

Exceptional Service and Great Beers
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, largely due to the owner's exceptional kindness. He went above and beyond by gifting me a record that was my partner's favorite and had been difficult to find, especially before our anniversary. He sold it to me for what he paid, which was a total steal.
Beyond his incredible generosity, he was exceptionally nice as always and offered great beers. If you're looking for a laid-back place to enjoy a nice beer or play board games with friends, I highly recommend this establishment and encourage supporting this great local business.
