“ Can be great local bar but gets some annoying patrons. It's relatively small and filled with bar games so it can be cramped. Toilet is like closet not good if your clostraphobic. Bar tenders are nice and always have good service. ”
“ Best Bar in town! U can't beat Alex best drinks ever Tony the guy in the door woooow amazing Jonas rock star! Eviva El JP's Love y guys ”
“ 5 stars for this best kept secret in Santa Monica!!! Came down to Santa Monica for New Year's Eve weekend and had the absolute best time here. My best friend and I always scope out the best local hotspots rather than the hip places people our age tend to go. Arrived in LA on Saturday and spent the following three days here! Cute little sports dive bar conveniently located. Met the wonderful bartender Alex (part owner I believe) and the great "celebrity" bartender Jonas! And the girl that worked New Year's Eve night who my guy best friend absolutely loved. Everyone here is very welcoming except for the grumpy door guy but I'll let it slide because he likes the patriots. lol the regulars and staff here make this place! They have 2 pool tables, food during the week, and a modern jukebox that you can control from your phone. I will be telling everyone about this place and absolutely can't wait to visit again. If you're looking for a low key night and are welcome to meet new people this is the place to be! ”
“ Dress to impress! Or wear your pajamas.. JPs is where you go to get shitfaced and tell stories of how ur really a spy... It smells like lost souls, stale beer and man funk, but there's a familiar charm to this dive bar. The beer is cold. The sass is real. And the bathroom is full of lol scribbles from snarky patrons (who don't seem to like Trump). #cheers ”
“ It is what it is. The perfect dive bar in an unassuming Santa Monica neighborhood on Wilshire Blvd. The woman bartender, on a Sunday afternoon, was so friendly in sharing the history of this iconic place, and there was lots of local color amongst us day drinkers that day. There was a great mixture of tap beers available, but due to a lo-carb regime, I was able to enjoy an ice cold bottle of MGD 64. Tasty! I noticed there was typical bar fare available, but the thing that will bring me back is the Golden Tee golf game. ”
“ I came here after reading all the 1 star reviews....I was intrigued! I had the time of my life; yes a Dirty Dancing reference; Football fans galore, pleasant bartenders and I ran into some awesome peeps...minus Dan Hill. Come check this sh*t out!!! BTW Bill O'Brien was an extra bonus ”
