Me and a gf went to play it was good vibe? Nice cool inside for days? Beer nice and cold yes!!!

Drinks and music selection are always good. Lots of parking. They offer a smoking section outside near the entrance. This used to be one of my favorite bars in the area until recently. The new bag policy is stupid. You cannot bring in any bangs or purses. No matter the size. If you uber there or are unable to put your bag in the car they will request to hold onto it. I hope they reconsider this policy. read more

Met some friends for a drink on a Saturday afternoon. Food appetizer plates were great and drinks were strong, but good. It was weird that when we wanted to play pool the top had to be lifted and put against the juke box, but that's ok, we played a few games and left feeling pretty good. It's more of chill spot during the day for someone who appreciates a delicious appetizer plate. read more

So I've been here a few times now, each time has been on a Thursday and after 9P, which means there is NO BEER On TAP beer in tab, just cans or bottles, which sucks but pricing is fair. This place gets BUSY! I'm sure the DJ is the reason, he's got a great mix of old-school music and set the vibe just right! It's a pretty diverse crowd and overall a good time! This is my Thursday spot if I wanna dance! If you like good music and cheap beer check them out! read more

I LOVE THEIR FOOD! Everything on the menu is fresh and amazing! This isn't your average bar food. The pozole is the best in town! VAL & Tamara are as REAL as it gets and talented bartenders that run the bar like a well oiled machine. They don't play any games and are a dying breed in the industry they don't make bartenders like them anymore! thank you for always taking care of us! - IAN FORD @keeperofthedogs read more

Katie Jakes Bar & Grill - Pozole - Bars Near Me - Covina, California

First time on Friday night. $5 cover charge felt a little outdated and unnecessary since the bar was pretty calm and not close to capacity at all. The music was nice, old school for people age 40-50. The drinks from the bar were pretty limited, we ordered two different standard drinks but they didn't have the ingredients. Seems like they have beer mostly and maybe shots. Staff was nice enough. Security was present. The pool table was covered and not available for use. Would not recomend if you're looking for a very lively bar to enjoy good drink variety. read more

The food is ALWAYS good. I've never ordered anything I wasn't impressed by. That being said, my favorite thing about KJ's is the invaluable Valerie!! I love her attitude and she can hustle!! Wowza!! I love her!!!! read more

Kitchen closes exactly at 10 PM. Came here to meet some new friends and had an amazing time. The drinks were OK not too pricey the DJ was a really really good and played a lot of hip-hop and R&B that I grew up listening to the in the 80s and 90s it made you want to dance Loved it will definitely try to come here again on a Friday night happy hour did not get a chance to try the food read more

I only go on the weekends now to have breakfast or lunch & to hang out with Val! She hustles her butt off to make sure your drinks are full and your food comes out hot! I recommend everything on the menu. I have never had a bad meal or cocktail here. read more

Katie Jakes never disappoints! When everything else is packed and you are stuck waiting for a table. Go to Katie Jakes and bring the family for a great breakfast and service. Val's amazing, her bloody Marie's are the best. Food is great! read more

There's a small bar on the border of Covina and West Covina that looks like a simple beer and wine type of place. But don't be fooled by the small appearance, they can pack the house with live bands or a DJ or juke box any time. They have a full bar and plenty of seating at the counter or high-top tables. Locals come here to enjoy watching sports, hang out with friends or hit the dance floor by the stage. There's a good vibe, don't want any trouble cause the bouncer will see you out the door! Drop by, it's open 7 days a week! read more

Gotta love having Val as my server! Always sweet, kind and most importantly attentive with everything she does!

Good service, good Food and great dancing music, been there several times will go back with my friends for sure, oh and safe environment read more

In town and had drinks and some food with family here, we had a great time. It wasn't fancy but the entire place including the bathroom was immaculately clean. Val mixes a heck of a drink and took fantastic care of us, great bartender. Thanks! read more

Took a trip to WestCo to catch some live music. The playing (Rod & Joeys Birthday Gig) had Hair Nation and others rocking hard. Had such a good time. Val the waitress/bartender was so nice and attentive despite a full crowd. She held it down like a pro. The drinks were good (not watered down) and the music was nonstop rock! Starting at 3 pm and rocking until 10pm!! Now that is a set! Definitely a great place to catch a show, though there are a few spots where viewing the stage could be a bit obscured. Didn't have a chance to nosh, as the kitchen closed up a bit earlier than I expected. But look forward to catching another show here in the future. Has a relaxed dress code (No baggy pants). read more

Katie Jakes Bar & Grill - a drink on the bar - Bars Near Me - Covina, California

I went to a Christmas get together, we got there real early and there were not too many people. Our group came in early also, so we were able to sit all together. By 9 o'clock it was very crowded and the band started with a very small dance floor right in front of them. The crowd that goes there is very unique to the place and we probably did not fit in as we are seniors and everybody else was in their 30s and 40s. I don't see myself going back there but everybody should try going to different places at least once. PS the food was good just not my cup of tea. read more

The food is good the ambiance the service was a lil slow because the place is really packed on weekends . I ordered a sample platter which has a variety of wings onion rings fries & Loaded Nachos read more

Packed but tiny dance room. Always gets so crowded but still fun and the pozole dude at the end of the night omg

Me and the wife decided to have a few drinks and dancing. We got there right before the DJ was setting up so the place was not that crowded. We were able to get a table next to the pool tables, I later found out that that was a mistake. We wanted to hit the dance floor and left our covered drinks and jackets on the table so we don't loose our table. When we returned the pool players decided to place all thier drinks and jackets on our table and as we started to sit back down one of the pool players (young guy around 20 something) came over and grabbed his jacket and gave me a dirty look, I'm a 58 yr old man and wasn't looking for trouble as he just kept glaring at us so I decided to take my wife and leave to avoid issues. Need better security inside to keep young bucks calm and let everyone have a good time. Probably won't be going back? I would spend the money and go to. Nicer place like The Lincoln House in Covina as they attract a better class of patrons. read more

Great food, great service, and shout out to Auntie Val. She is always working so hard and keeps the community alive. She is always working her butt off! When the crowd is larger, she needs more help or a raise! read more

Only giving a one star because the music was good. Was there on a Sunday afternoon and the bartender lady was RUDE. Went to the bar to order a drink and all she does is give you dirty looks like your bothering her. Please find different help. read more

The old blonde girl bartender is EXTREMELY rude. I refer to her a girl because that's how she referred to me, excuse me, I'm a lady. My daughter & I were planning on having a fun night out having lots of drinks, after one drink we left. We went to Callahan's and had a BLAST. Don't waste your time going to Katie Jake's if you aren't a regular. I highly recommend Callahan's for a GREAT time everybody makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in read more
