Friendly patrons and staff! Very reasonable prices for drinks. They offered Mexican food on the patio....I had a chicken burrito and it was huge and delicious for only $12! I will definitely be back! read more

The overwhelming smell of sewage really kills it for me. I was told they are right next to a sewage facility of some sort, so that explains the smell. Not their fault. I met a friend there and we left after one drink bc the smell just wouldn't let us enjoy ourselves. But I hear there are lots of trampy chicks who hit on married Mexican men. So here is a tip for those women...go get em! Bc the cheating narcissists are getting desperate. LOL read more

my Favorite watering hole ! thanks for the free pool barb! ALL THE BARTENDERS are amazing!!! thanks Elyse, Danelle and Deb! love you girls!! read more

Fun spot, friendly people. Pool, shuffleboard, dance floor, good drinks at a decent price and again, nice people. Food isn't the top of their list, but we were told we could bring outside food in if we wanted. Sounded like they have food service on one of the weekend days. We will be back to hang out again. read more

PJ's Roadhouse - fried onion rings and dipping sauce - Bars Near Me - Placerville, California

5 stars for a great stage and sound system. This place is a Dive Bar. The local White Trash come here to drink and umm yeah drink some more. What else is there to do in Placerville? I mean you can't hang people there anymore, so why not drink. True Story... I met this Fat Stoner guy missing his four upper front teeth. He had the face of a Witch mixed with Danny DeVito. He smelled like crusty underwear. He offered me a hit off his pipe. ...NO THANKS DUDE, I'M STRAIGHT EDGE. read more

Great bartenders, food, and people. Free pool every day, regulars are great. Really chill atmosphere, nice for every day.

Dharma is the best! Great local spot with good drinks and bar food, made to order. Several local beers on tap, and cocktail selection is on point. read more

We only get up that way once in a while, but when we do we have to stop and PJs. We love this place the food and staff are wonderful.

Walked in an there was no tables to sit down to eat, the only person I seen working was the bartender and we walked to the bar we stood there for maybe five minutes maybe less and she never acknowledged us sit on the right there nothing so we walked out. If I could give negative stars I would. read more

Great dive bar. Love Sunday Funday here just relaxing. Food is good, burgers, dogs...all good. Staff is great and friendly. Cool local crowd and flavor. read more

We ate here. Eh... The food was okay I guess. Not super great or anything though. It was lacking something... not sure what though. read more

We arrived here 3/26/21 and ordered food and waited 40 min. We asked if our food was on the way and come to find out they never put the order in. We tried re-ordering our food but they blew us off. Off of my experience I won't be returning. Wish I could of tried the pizza!!! read more

There are biker bars, and then there's Pj's. Located in gold country, Pj's has established itself as being one of the most biker friendly bars in all of Northern California. A great selection of beer, and harder drinks at a reasonable price, large patio, pool tables, ample tables, and live bands. The food depends on what day you get there. Most of the time, the fare will be typical bar-food. But on Wed or weekends, you'll be treated to "grill your own steak" or BBQ specials. Well worth the trip for. But be forewarned- Placerville's local law enforement do not like ANYONE on two wheels, and are known for pulling over anyone leaving PJ's on a motorcycle. So definitly watch your alcohol intake. read more

Awesome place. From the bay area and wanted to find a local spot. Free pool on Thursdays! We will be back...

Nice place to hang out and chill. Have a beer watch a game during week and play some pool. Now has bar food too. On weekends the bands get hopping and the place gets going late night. read more

PJ's Roadhouse - Bars Near Me - Placerville, California

My husband and I always have a great time at PJ's. The new owners, Barb and Jim made us feel as welcomed as old friends!! There is live music, good eats and plenty of room with the large dance floor, table seating and a big outdoor patio. Shuffleboard, pool tables, darts and dice are available for fun with friends. Klare is my favorite bartender!!! We live in Sacramento but still make time to visit PJ's. Do yourself a favor and drop by PJ'S Roadhouse. read more

My view of this place is somewhat skewed. I've only been there on Thursday nights, when I was part of the house band for their Jam Night. Since it was seldom busy (thus encouraging bozos get up and play for free), I couldn't really get a feel for the place. The staff seemed friendly, and the drinks were reasonable. The only thing that was a put-off for me personally was a couple of times there was some pot-smoking going on out on the patio. I like my taverns a little tonier than that. read more

"Hello Central Casting? I need two cowboys, two cowgirls, three bikers and three bicker chicks". Good bands and a Cast of characters. read more

It's a local dive bar. I stop in on my way home from Poor Red's. Nice bartender, good service, and inexpensive. read more

PJ's Roadhouse - Beer for my horse... - Bars Near Me - Placerville, California

I imagine this place is probably a lot of fun when there's a band- pretty big dance floor. Anyway, I'm here on a Sunday watching football. I like the place. Clean, friendly and wow some really nice Harley's outside. Great drink specials! Lots of room. Bartender is a nice guy. I must say! Ladies- I wasn't expecting this, but the restrooms are re-modeled and very nice. read more

The bar itself is quite chill, the drink selection was quite diverse. I ahd a good time there, but the bartender prioritizes her friends,but I don't mind, i am rarely around Placerville to begin with. If I return to this place it will be because my friends said...which was the reason why I went anyway. read more

Always a good time. Classic bar, classic people. Good fun entertainment. Usually no bull crap going on. Cops hangout spot though. Not very clean but I'm going there to drink... Not sleep. read more

Love this bar!!! Great Venue for bands they have live music almost every weekend. The food there is delicious for bar food, i say that because it isnt a restaurant, must be 21! But do have the tastest burger in El dorado county!! read more

Went to PJ's today with friends at about 6:45 pm. Just wanted to grab a beer and visit. We were greeted as we sat down, and the waitress/bartender said, "I hope you're not here to eat, because the kitchen is closed". Not a problem because we didn't want food. She said she would be back to take our order. 10 minutes later, we still had not placed our order. We saw her grab her purse and walk out the back door. When we asked what was up, we were told "It's a bar, you order at the bar". We would have if the first gal had told us that! Needless to say, after 15 minutes, and no drink order placed, we left. Ended up going to Poor Red's down the road, and received excellent service. read more

This bar is in my opinion underrated. In the past this bar was known for loads of fights. Things have since then mellowed out. The atmospere is very chill and kick back. There is a very wide age diversity. The people that come in here are awesome and friendly. The food here has improved. They have some very good burgers (even a vegetarian burger), fish tacos, pull pork sandwhiches, and on wednesdays they have cook your own steak dinners. Get there early, the kitchen closes at 8pm except on wed. The bartenders here are great, very friendly. There is plenty here to do besides gettin your swerve on. They have three pool tables, a shuffleboard table, darts, a jukebox and a nice-sized dance floor, and at your request : beerpong tables, and if you want, im sure they will not have a problem putting together the stage and stripper pole ;) They have free pool on tuesdays and thursdays. Saturday nights they have live bands. Also on thursday nights are their showgirls nights, which ranges from bikini dancers, wet t-shirt contests, baby oil wrestling, and 9-ball strip-off tournaments. read more

I love this place! I am a once in a while drinker plus all the time people watcher and this is the place I come to when I want to unwind from the week on Saturdays mostly (as my hot bartender friend only works here on Saturday afternoons). True, there are a wide variety of people that visit which is what makes it so great. Everyone is fun to watch and talk to. There is a patio for people to drink and smoke outside if that's your desire, heating lamps are there if needed. I am a foodie through and through, so if you are looking for a 5 star cuisine, then it's probably not the place for you to eat. However, it is made fresh from the bbq and goes great with drinking! I can never say "no" to it. They also hold a lot of charity events and biker runs if you want to show your support. read more

Smells like piss in there. I have been getting drunk here since the early 90s. Nothing ever changes except the owners. The only reason to come here is when Poor Reds closes and you aren't done drinking yet. The cocktails are poured strong and are cheap. You never know whats going to happen here. Everyone is drunk and the age differences are vast. I have been 86'd here, caused fights here, bumped my head on in the parking lot trying to be a ballerina, and I keep coming back for more. Not as often as I have gotten older, but I LOVE this place. read more

I must preface this by stating that I wasted most of my early 20's lurking in this place. Although those times were an entire life ago, this place is still near and dear to my heart. The place is considerably more mellow that it was in the mid 90's where a fight or more per night was the norm often times spilling out onto Mother Lode Dr. The crowd here is still of the rugged variety but isn't that what you expect at a Saloon/Roadhouse? I believe they now have a DJ on Friday nights although I'm not exactly sure what the DJ plays. Live bands, typically of the bluesy/classic rock variety, play here regularly and the dance floor is decent sized. Just be careful walking up to it because there is a sneaky step that might just send you onto the floor in a less than elegant fashion. The drinks are reasonably priced and the bartenders are awesome! There is an enclosed outdoor patio with misters in the summer months and heaters in the winter, 3 coin operated pool tables and a Shuffleboard table. Poor Reds is often the destination but PJ's is the most logical choice if you want to play a game of pool, shake your booty on the dance floor or just stretch out a bit more while sippin yer suds. read more

PJ's is not just a biker bar, but it is a really cool hangout. My girlfriends and I went there for part of my bachelorette party, and the bartender was amazing. He comped me a lot of shots. Being from Reno (heavy drinking area), he was unaware of many of the shots we ordered, but he was game to try and make them. Everyone in there was very friendly, and it was a very diverse atmosphere. There was live music and pool and shuffleboard. Definately a fun place to go. read more

We stopped here after lunch at Poor Reds, kinda wished we had held off for PJ's, but that just gives me an excuse to go back. We were parched after a couple hundred miles on the bike and dropped in to wet the whistle. It was early afternoon on a Friday so not many on hand but the regulars so we played free pool and had a couple of pops. The bartender was friendly, on the ball, and attentive. We want to drop back in when it is a bit more crowded. The regular crowd that was on had was just as friendly. read more

I must say, I was quite surprised when I first went into PJ's. It's not at all what I expect when I hear the word, "Roadhouse!" The place has a great ambiance and is very clean - even the restrooms! We were there on Ribeye Steak Night, and didn't arrive in time - they ran out of ribeyes - but because of that, they opened the kitchen and we were able to try the burgers - yum! If you're looking for a fun place to hang out with friends in Placerville - I highly recommend PJ's! They have a full bar, plenty of pool tables, and a back room with a dance floor and stage where they live bands! read more

Had a great time watching the band "Posterchild" at PJ's tonight. The draft beer selection was great and the prices were right. I could come back again just for the cheap beer prices. Pool tables, nice bar staff and the clientele were well behaved. read more

This is the best bar in El dorado county by far. Best bar tenders ever. People are are great.

My band had a show here a week ago, for the 2nd time, and the staff is always super friendly and just all in all good people. The bartenders are very responsive and quick, even when there are a lot of people crowding the small bar top. Drinks are reasonably priced, if not a little cheaper than other places. The patio is awesome to enjoy your drink and a smoke (or 5). They have pool tables, live music, and food that looks great, though I have not tried it. If you are looking for some place that's good for a night out with friends without all the hassle of crowds, overly priced drinks, or , go to PJ's Roadhouse for a good time. read more

Solid bar with friendly bartenders plenty of pool tables and they have great live shows!
