It would be a nice place. Strictly for chronic chain smokers. Unfortunately, I can't eat nor breathe in a place that smells like an ashtray from the second you open the front door, even in the foyer with a second door. Forget about singing karaoke. It smells like a chainsmokers's apartment of 50 years. It's a choice, but not my choice. It's a large spacious place, but it would still smell the same even if nobody was smoking in there. read more

You want good vibes, great drinks definitely need to come join the party at Jax. Grear

Great neighborhood bar. Nice miix of people. Good food and great prices. Pool tables, darts and lots of TV's.

Jax Place is a local neighborhood sports bar. A wonderful place to go with family and friends, the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The staff is exceptional and the food is awesome. When you're bringing the youngsters, The new Jax Cafe next door is your go to. If you're ever in the Kempsville area, give them a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Best gay bar in VB by far. Man booty all the time. Tight asses and lots of muscles. Some of the prettiest men the city has to offer. Even better than the oceanfront. read more

It's definitely lively! We walked in and a plume of smoke billowed out. What an interesting venue. The drinks are super strong and super cheap. There are slot machines, pool tables and a karaoke machine. And you can smoke here! All in all, I enjoyed myself. Oh, and the lady bartender was very nice! read more

A smoking bar that isn't very smoky with the coolest karaoke vibes ever, very diverse and fun crowd, I've been to a lot of karaoke nights and this was one of my favorites! Good prompt drinks and courteous staff, should've gotten a bar appetizer to try but was too busy having a blast! read more

A long time patron and family member brought home 3 takeout dinners of shrimp and hush puppies. Quantity of both was generous. Quality was amazing. It was among the best shrimp I have ever eaten.....these are fat shrimp, cooked and seasoned to perfection!! read more

Definitely a 5 star dive bar! They have just remodeled and taken over the suite next to thwm, which has made this bar HUGE! There are multiple pool tables, shuffleboard, foosball, cornhole, and dart boards. I love seeing people that put money back into their establishment! New carpet, new furniture, new tvs, new games, and the same regulars, which is why I love this bar! There are about 25 tvs and I'm excited for football season, as I know this will be a go to for the games! They have pool tournaments, as well as poker tournaments weekly. Bands play on certain nights and the atmosphere is great! Happy hour is incremental, til 7, til 9, then regular prices. A small pitcher during happy hour is less than $4! It's a great bargain! Great people, great prices, just a good old fashion awesome bar! read more

Virginia Beach, Virginia --- "Jax" is NOT a "Run-A-Way Bill" kinda place ... no atmosphere or bar flair (other than the envious @ 6' x 6' Anheuser-Busch beer emblem) I "did" like the standing bar section with outlets for cell phone charging the large open spaced bar with view of a construction area kills the atmosphere bartender Linda did not "make me leave wanting more!" either she was always doing stuff other than customers ... bartenders are for customers, NOT other stuff "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! ... but won't return Day 037 "666 Bars of 2017" / bar 069 / bartender Linda #RunAwayBill #VirginiaBeach #JaxPlace #666BarsUSA 02.06.17 read more

I've been to Jax a few times and have had a great time. I don't mind the food. It's typical burgers and fries etc. I enjoy the regulars. They are friendly . The drinks are pretty good and the wait staff works really hard. I also like the karaoke. In fact that's why we go. Karaoke is entertainment. It's not high art. I think you will have fun at Jax if you are trying to have fun. Last Time I went I ordered the bacon burger and it was cooked really well. I also ordered the drink special. The drink was a bit sweet for my tastes but still it was nice to try something different. Our waitress has waited on us before and she was attentive. We each sang a couple of karaoke songs and truly enjoyed singing along with the others. It's overall a nice night out with kind folks. read more

Very active place. Pool darts shuffle board ! It's smokey and increased ventilation would be appreciated

Enjoyed it having a few beers and some wings. It's a great place enjoy the atmosphere. Music was a little loud but it was all well worth it, enjoyed the evening. My server was great she was very attentive and she made sure we had our drinks quickly. read more

The positives: The location has been expanded with more room than before... plenty of TVs (I count 20 plus), and the server was awesome last 2 times I have visited here. Plenty o' pool tables, and free Poker on Friday nights!. (Usually 2-3 tables of folks) :-). They have 4dart boards in a dedicated area for the darts players, and they also have a shuffleboard table in here. Shuffleboard is a fun game to play when tipsy, or sober! All around nice bar. The negatives: Smoking bar. Can get pretty smoky on Friday and Saturday nights. I recommend you try out the recently expanded Jax Place. :-) read more

I came in there a couple of weeks ago for the first time very very smokey bar very disgusting but I tried to embrace it and took a seat at the bar anyway bartender was rude asked for a drink and took her 5 minutes before I saw her again then probably the wrong drink then when she made it right I still tipped her good because I believe that's always important then I decided to go try to shoot a game of pool as I did that they're unfortunately were no available tables so I put my quarter on the table to claim next I play winner. Anyway excuse myself to go to the men's room which is in the back and called Two Gentlemen doing a drug deal right inside the bathroom so I turned around walked back out and proceeded to grab my things and leave . Not a bar I would recommend if you like classy bars and good people stay as far away from this place as possible it's a very seedy joint don't plan on ever going back there again. If you're looking for a very CD Shady bar where criminals seem to hang out at this is the spot for you. read more

I came here last night with a couple of friends and I had a great time. Lively crowd and reasonably priced drinks. This is a smoking bar so just a heads up. They had karaoke and everyone in the bar was singing and clapping along. They have shuffle board which we played and it was tons of fun! If I lived closer I would definitely come here more often. Btw the waitress we had was on her A game! Will be going back if I'm ever in the area :) read more

Screw you. Screw you, chubby blonde bartender/waitress who had the audacity to pull full glasses of beer out of our hands while yelling "OH NO. OH NO." Screw you for not treating us like adults having a good time at 1:35am and attempting to treat us like we were your waterhead babies at home. Screw you. The tip that was on the table went back in our pockets. Because you were a jerk. And by the way, the card that the other bartender said we had to give in order to start a tab- we didn't say you could run it, because we had cash. Bars close at 2am. Last call is always 1:30am. How DARE you take full drinks OUT OF OUR HANDS before 2am. Maybe you should have done the same for the dude outside a doorway down who was puking on the sidewalk. From the length of his wretching, it sounded like he had a lot. I'm more than cooperative when someone TELLS me that "It's time to go, Time to finish up." Whenever me and my friends hear that, we finish our drinks and put down our glasses. And that's when you should take the glass. SCREW YOU. Maybe that's something that you do with regulars who get shitfaced and you have to treat them like they were one of your bobbleheaded dirty kids. But you didn't know us. In fact, it was the first time we stepped foot in your establishment. And we certainly won't be back. The other bartender, the non-chubster, was actually very sweet. She was attentive and I feel bad for not tipping her something. But overall, this place can eat a big one. Thanks. PS- A big SCREW YOU to the Karaoke Jockey. Your main job is to let people sing in an orderly manner. Did we really need the friggin Cha Cha Slide when some of us signed up for a song two hours ago? read more

I happened upon this place by accident after i was invited out with some friends after work. Its tucked away pretty quietly in the corner of the shopping center. It had an awesome old school feel to it once inside. The beer price were nice and affordable and you could smoke on the main floor, but the atmosphere wasn't all "smokey" inside. After we had a few drinks I decided to order a burger simply because Jax advertises the best burger in town, I wasn't let down. It was absolutely delicious and again it was affordable. I will for sure be back again in the near future for lunch. Only draw back is the bathroom size I would say. read more

Recently tried this place and everything I ordered was very good. The Diablo Burger was phenomenal. I will definitely eat here again!

Jax place is a great local sports bar! Not a better place in Hampton Roads. Food, Staff and games are awesome. Love this place!

I planned my husband's birthday party (US + about 30 friends). I called to let them know and they volunteered the birthday decorations. This was our first (but not our last) time there. I met the owner and thanked her for the preparation. We had excellent service of both drinks and food. We felt at home there. They could not have been more accommodating and welcoming. We went back for the Super Bowl. It was so much fun! There were games and prizes and lots of TVs so every seat was a good one. They had a free hot dog and nacho set up. We are going back for St Patrick's Day. We can hardly wait! By the way, we live in Newport News. It is a drive for us but we love being there. We will go as often as we can! read more

They have a good happy hour and good local crowd. I like to do happy hour but hardly ever carry cash. The problem is that they have a ten dollar credit card limit and the staff turns over at seven so I get stuck paying the $3.50 ATM fee every time the shift changes and the bartender wants to close me out. I politely offered feedback regarding the shift change / policy since I have managed a restaurant. The waitress and manager made fun of me. Paid my $3.50 tab and left to go to AJs. My recommendation, if you are want a beer, go to Food Lion and keep it moving. read more

A pure dive bar, pool tables, darts, karaoke, locals, smoking and good prices. You can't ask for more if your looking for a dive bar. The reviews on here seem personal so I would try this out on your own. If your looking for a dive bar, come over. read more

Great happy hour! Bartenders and wait staff are efficient and friendly. The crowd is a mix and personable. We really enjoy ourselves and stop in at least twice a month. The food and specials are typical bar food and the drinks are good. read more

Friend of mine got sick on the taxi ride over, and incidentally puked outside, he wasn't even drunk, but they refused to let him have a beer and proceeded to cuss him out before he even came near the door..... This place is tiny. And very washed out. The floors and tables were filthy. Ashtrays overflowing and the karaoke was awful. They picked who was allowed to go up. They ignored songs requested hours ago. Will not go back here read more

This is an awesome friendly locals sports bar! Service is excellent and the food is great...esp. the wings and burgers! Looks small from the outside but huge inside. Owners have gone to great lengths to newly remodel. There are tons of big screens and all new pool tables, Foosball and Darts. Monday and Wednesday night pool tournaments keep me going back and the service and friendly locals that go there on a regular basis. Lauren H. read more

I haven't been to this place in years, but was in the neighborhood and thought I would see if it had changed. All I can say is WOW!, it's night and day from a few years back. The bartender (Tiffany) was one of the most sociable individuals I have ever met. Her smile could light up a room. The bar itself is extremely clean. It's a smoking bar but you would not know it, their smoke eaters do the job. It's a neighborhood bar with a blue collar crowd who loves their music. The number of TV's makes it an ideal place to come watch football. The food is great. The crowd is very friendly. All in all a very nice place to stop and have a few. Parking is a little iffy, but not that bad. Stopped there a couple of times since to see if I just hit it on a good day or what. Everyday was as described. If you like Town Center bars, stay at Town Center. If you like neighborhood bars, you'll love this place. BobD read more

Went Jax place with a friend the other day it was my first time here, it was 1.00 Taco day. The tacos were okay for the price "they need either other hot sauce or a selection of hot sauces" any way it was busy but not way busy... My complaint would be that the wait staff take their time here, I could understand if it was super packed but it wasn't. I wanted a few more tacos and another drink I held my empty bottle up and even waived at our wait staff as she stood at the end of the bar talking to other wait staff and looking at order tickets. Needless to say it was my first time and last time to this establishment. If you want service it's not here read more

My favorite place in town, awesome staff and they have it all, Darts, billards, shuffle board, karaoke, and a dance floor.

A great local watering hole, where the staff and customers are very friendly.I've meet several new friends there. The adult beverages are reasonablely priced, and the food menu is very good. The hot wings, and nachos are my favorites. I enjoy watching my favorite games, and NASCAR on multiple flat screens. If I get bored with watching sports, I'll try my luck throwing darts, or shooting pool. Good times there! read more

Only reason I would ever consider going here EVER AGAIN would be because of Sunshine the awesome Bartender and Kay who is one of my Favorite Cooks she can make some Amazing food. If it weren't for them to I would never consider going to this place. read more
