JR's Bar & Grill

Been coming here for over 10 years. The bar used to be more well managed before the pandemic, as soon as we were able to go back into bars I jumped out of my comfy couch and got back to JRs to support my local businesses and entertainers. Based on how dirty and grimy it’s gotten lately it seems as if management has let it go downhill. It never used to smell now I smell the dirty bathrooms in the karaoke bar and the back bar, the only place that it might not smell is the first bar. There used to not be napkins all over the bar floor now it’s inevitable to walk anywhere and see napkins all over the floors. This bar used to be my starting bar to bar hop and my restroom break bar because the restrooms were always nicely kept, now that is long gone, like I said they always smell and the soaps are never filled up. On a positive note drinks are reasonably priced compared to other bars but it makes me wonder if my cup is properly clean. Even on its busiest weekend (Halloween weekend) the bar was never that dirty and grimy.

I had just moved from Louisiana to Texas and was so excited to be in a more LGBT inclusive area. I went to this place for my first time around lunch hour and ordered 1 beer, I received a work call while in this establishment and had to walk out the front door due to the ear shattering music being played. The bartender proceeded to literally jump over the bar and chase me out the front door and aggressively jerked my bottle of beer out of my hand and throw it into the garbage. I understand that Texas has more strict alcohol laws opposed to Louisiana, but the behavior just left a bad taste in my mouth. I won’t be visiting this place again.

One of the bartenders is so RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL. Me and my brother and a friend were waiting to get served at the bar, as we were waiting he was having a full blown conversation with two other guys and the bartender didn’t even acknowledge that we were standing there, it seems like he don’t have no life and using his time at the bar to vent to customers when he should be serving drinks and move along to the next customers, it was no reason he should be venting and taking out his cell phone to show pictures to customers when you have line of people. I waited for 3 min after he got done making drinks he still was going on and on with the guys and I just politely said, excuse me I like to order a drink and boom he just went off and got the cops and they told us to leave. He came from behind the bar and got in me and my brother face and called us out our names, he was saying all kinds of rude stuff to us. He was a white guy with dark hair, and his bar is located by the side door close the patio in the inside. Don’t go here it’s a rude establishment!!!! I hate to say, but it was giving racist vibes the White cops were on his side and everything we told them they didn’t believe, they were on his side.
