I just want everyone to know that they allow their staff to brush their teeth in the kitchen area while fixing food! And when you say something about, you're the one that's kicked out. read more

Just when you think that you've gone to Jackson, MS and there is nothing to do but breathe air, Frank Jones appears. I was taken here by a couple of my cousins who live in the area, while visiting family for the weekend. I loved the place! Great blues music by a live band was being played, while some patrons danced in the front of them. The drinks - nice and strong! Buckets were cheap and so were shots! Seating is very limited and along the front on the right as soon as you arrive in. There's an outside area for smoking or airing out your armpits. Be careful leaving; the cops like to hang out in the lot across from joint and will snag you if you're leaving inebriated. Grab a cool shirt! read more

Okay, full disclosure: I love this place in a ridiculous way. It's not fancy, nice, or even particularly clean. If you're heading to F. Jones though, you're not going somewhere where you're trying to be fancy. You just wanna dance to some blues and have a damn good time. And you WILL. F. Jones is THE late night spot in Jackson. I'm not even entirely sure what time this place opens. I think it's 10 or 11? I know if you get there before midnight most nights, you can avoid paying cover. BUT, I don't think I've ever showed up before midnight. This place pops off past midnight. This is where everyone heads once the other bars are closing, so everyone has usually already had a couple drinks. (PS, take an UBER! Do not drink and drive!) There is always live music-- typically some very Mississippi blues act. Everyone is dancing and having such a good time on the dance floor. The bar is dark, smoky, and crowded. It's VERY Mississippi. Outside, they are usually smoking some hot dogs, burgers, BBQ. It's cheap and delicious, and usually JUST what you need at that time of the night. The drinks are cheap. Cover to get in is usually $10, and you can get beers as cheap as $2 or $3 usually. F. Jones is definitely not an EVERY night type of thing. I mean, it's a LATE night. But every now and then, it's a really good time and definitely worth your while. Go get your dance on, y'all. read more

Frank Jones Corner - Good vibes - Jazz & Blues Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

I went here for lunch. I hope to someday experience F. Jones for blues! But anyway, all I can review is the food and atmosphere in the afternoon. BEST BBQ I'VE EVER HAD!! Whoever said Memphis had the best BBQ has not been to Frank Jones Corner in Jackson, MS. It was so delicious, sauce wasn't even needed, but of course I had sauce, because that was good enough to eat with a spoon!! Also, try their fried grits. Amazing! I'm not even a big fan of grits, but these are a must have. Just watch out, you'll be hooked. I may have dreams about this food. I wish I lived closer. They had a variety of items on their menu, including pasta, and they all looked good. Prices were very reasonable, in fact compared to food up north, pretty darn cheap! The atmosphere was a small bar. I hesitate to say dive bar, because it is a recent renovation. Dives to me sort of mean run down. This is not. Its a nice place, but not a classy sit down romantic meal type place. During the blues lunch while I was there, the music was also great. I met and talked to the owner, and some other employees. it was a very pleasant and enjoyable afternoon. He is looking forward to revitalizing Jackson, he is doing his part. That is a very worthy goal, I fell in love with this city. F.Jones doesn't have the history that Peaches and Mayflower has, but I guarantee the building does. The owner and other employees will be happy to share it with you! I hope that you will visit this wonderful gem in Jackson! read more

Love this spot! I've been going for several years and this review is overdue. FJC is located in downtown Jackson on Farish Street. It's a late-night dive bar that really kicks off around midnight. It's one of the few spots in Jackson that is helping to keep the blues music scene alive. As many have indicated in their reviews, this is a spot that goes late (after other bars shut down). Street parking is available close to the venue. Cover is cheap (usually $5), and free if you arrive early (? prior to 11:30pm). Not a lot of seating, but there are stools at the bar, a small lounge section with tables up front, and picnic tables out back (good when weather permits). However, with music this good you likely won't need to sit too long. They also serve good bar food such as the catfish basket, hot dogs, fries, etc... Staff is laid back, and service has been good for me. Great place to take a group of friends for some late night fun and dancing! read more

Great late night, live music spot. Came here once when I was in town earlier in the year and had a ball. Was in town again in May for my college reunion and when the Friday evening event was over we made this the after party spot. It's nothing fancy but they have great bands that perform, bar food and good drinks. I've only had the wings and fries but both times that I've had them they were prepared fresh and were hot and inexpensive. The bartenders are very attentive and there is even a dance area if you want to get your dance on. It's worth checking out if you like live music, a down to earth crowd and want to have a good ole time. read more

Frank Jones is always a nice "go-to" spot for good drinks and good music. They don't really kick off til around midnight. They also have really good food too. read more

I was completely disrespected by the security staff there last night for no reason. I bought around of shots for friends and didn't even get to enjoy them. Security was yelling in my friends ear to get out and I was arguing with him because I hadn't gotten my card back. I hadn't paid my tap and really shouldn't have the way I was treated. This place will gladly take your money and disrespect you right after. This isn't the kind of business Jackson needs to support. I will never go there again ! read more

Funky spot to hear live blues music late night. Drinks are very reasonably and food is tasty. Only down side is they allow smoking inside so go prepared to wash your clothes and take a bath when you get home after a night of dancing. read more

This place is always a lot of fun. Good crowd, awesome bartenders. They have live jazz and blues band, the music is always amazing! They open until 4am, so if the clubs are closing and you don't wanna go home yet, this is the place to be. read more

The bartenders were all very attentive, fast, and friendly! The live music is incredible! We were met with live musicians at the door and the night was filled with music all night long inside. The party doesn't really start until midnight but it was nice to get there early and find a place to sit. Aaaaand they serve food all night! This bar is awesome. read more

The only place open till the sun comes up in Jackson! Great music, great people, no matter the color of your skin or passport... and the owners love to hang out during the day, tell their story, shoot the shit. They always remember a face and sometimes a drink. Real people real place to hang when your here from out of town like me ( here on business from LA). don't mess around and go. No black, no white, just the blues. read more

Visited a friend for the weekend to attend the St. Patrick's Day parade.....and it was a wash. Like it literally rained the entire Saturday. But that didn't stop the party. We headed over the "F Jones" for some after hour shenanigans and I'm pretty sure I danced from the time I hit the door until we tip toed out at 4am. Just all around great ppl no matter the color of your skin. We all were there for one thing and one thing ONLY...to have a good time and that we did. Blues music at its best....and the live band.....AMAZING. I mean when you can play Purple Rain live from on top of the bar and have women giving up there spot in the line for the restroom so not to miss the experience...that speaks volumes. I'm already planning my next trip back and I'll have my full crew of girls with me....its definitely the place to go when in Jackson. read more

I really like this place. I am from New Orleans so this is a way of life where I live. I would come to Jackson and really miss the music...and the food. I thought of Jackson as this boring place. Thank goodness I found this place and Farish St. I really do wish the city the best in developing the area. From what I saw It is not going to be an easy fix. I am encouraged that the city is approaching it in a smart way. There seems to be some really good people behind the effort. The idea that you can drink out on the street like in New Orleans is great. The police does its part by patrolling the area fairly consistently. You see an investment. It would be great to restore the area for a place with such rich cultural history should not just fade away forever. And the city needs this to grow its downtown and have more people want to come to it. The downtown area in general is just so sad! I do not know if they can clean up the surrounding area and get rid of the drug dealers and hoodlums that criss-cross the area. I did not feel safe walking more than a block in any direction. It would be interesting to know the crime stats for this street. You are safe if you stick to the the street. And your car will be safe. Like I said... police are constantly driving around. About the Corner....It is a dive. In a good way. The food is something that you would never expect. It is really delicious. And the people at the bar are all nice. At nice it is a nice music joint where you will se all kinds of people. From people dressed in suits and nice party dresses to people decked out to party to jeans and t-shirts. Black and white. And other sometime exotic types. It is a friendly kind of place. If you go late at night there will be this character outside grilling hot dogs and burgers. His name is Juju. He is a recovered substance abuser that has gotten his act together and works there every night withstanding freezing temperatures, rain or shine. He has a little fridge stocked with beer and will fix you a quirky kind of burger that is a creation of his. Different but not bad at all. His hot dogs are good too. Comes in handy when it is 2 or 3 am and nothing is else is open around there. I also felt safe around him. I just know he would look out for me in a pinch.I try to tip him good. He deserves it anyway. Don't laugh ...I am a girl traveling alone in a place I do not know. Juju would laugh if he heard me! OH! I almost forgot to mention it. On Thursdays, Juju plays the drums in front of the place. I am sure he is pretty good... I just have not heard him ....yet. read more

*The* after-hours bar in Jackson. But don't sleep on the food. They have some of the best wings around! You'll always hear some excellent music and the drinks aren't pricey. Large patio area outback. If you're looking to keep your night going after 2am, this is the place to be. read more

My husband and I were visiting Jackson for the weekend. We arrived late (midnight) on Friday night & asked the valet guy to recommend food in the area. He recommended Frank Jones which was just a couple blocks away from our hotel (King edwards/hilton garden). $10 cover per person. Late night, after hours spot, stays open til 4 am. They had an amazing live band. Plenty of soul. Place is somewhat divey, has a couple lounge couches. We sat at the bar, and ordered drinks & food (wings and fries). Drinks were made strong. Wings and fries were made fresh to order (came piping hot lol). Standard bar food, but we enjoyed it, also inexpensive. If we ever return to Jackson, we will definitely visit F Jones again. read more

Gritty, loud, jazzy, funky, soulful, sweaty and just plain awesome. If you want true down South music with a juke joint feel in the city- this is your premier spots. Musicians and the community intermingle in this dark rhythm infused nightspot. You can hear the night's funk bands drums and guitar playing from the outside as you ride by the classic blue unassuming business. It seems to just draw you in especially on a late night. The moment you open the door you know its going to be an experience. Located on the historic Farish Street this place brings back the nostalgia of what the city's once most famous street was decades ago. If you are looking for a place filled with good music, soulful vibes, and some of the city's entertaining characters in the community this is your place. You feel the welcome once you step foot inside. And if you are lucky you might catch them grilling BBQ and hamburgers outside in the back on a good night. read more

I've only gone for the late night and it is a great blues juke joint that stays open up until the wee hours of 4am and later. Pretty good BBQ (say what's up to JuJu!) and a full bar. The big drawbacks is that it's small and smoky, but even then, it only lends to the atmosphere. Great start to the revitalization of Farish Street! read more

This is honestly the best thing I have found in Mississippi. Coming from the los angeles underground warehouse parties, I realized that this is the original version. Everyone accepts everyone else as they are and is there to have a great time and dance til the crack of morning! So much fun and hope that this place is here forever. Keepatit! read more

LOVE this place. They always make me feel at home. Fried pickles from here are ahhhmazing!
