They do have a pretty cool alleyway where you can stop and chat with other patrons. Overall, it's an average bar and venue.

Absolutely appalled by the level of disrespect tonight. Me and our friend group had an autistic…read morefriend in our party that came to have drinks. We first came in and he gave him and hard time about getting a drink because he thought he was "acting weird", we explained that he was autistic and he understood and proceeded to let him get his drink. Later on, 30 mins later, he goes to get another drink and is refused a drink and is made fun of by the bartender and mimicked and said I'm not serving an "autistic fuck". 2 men that seem to be keen with the bartender are tagging along and making disabled noises, mocking our friend in the bar. We came in of a party of 20. Celebrating a birthday and regulars of this bar. I will NEVER be back here. This management should be ashamed.

CJ's is a really really underrated spot in Five Points! Unlike so many of the other bars in the…read morearea, the bouncers were pretty cool, and the bartenders did a great job. While I wish that they might have had a larger selection of beers on draft, they at least had one IPA on tap, and another in a can. The ambiance was cool as well - it was definitely a dive bar, but not in a way that means it was run down or nasty. They had a cool, vintage Pac-Man machine, and the pool area was nice and spacious as well. Although I didn't use the outdoor patio, it seemed like the perfect spot to people watch or hang out with a large group of people, and you had a bird's eye view of the Five Points Fountain. All-in-all, CJ's was a lot of fun, and I definitely see myself coming back in the near future!

The drinks were blended very well and used fresh lime juice, which was nice. The appetizers -- the kimchi fries and the boneless wings were pretty standard. The fries were crunchy, but we felt like there was more cheese than there was kimchi and sauce, so we've had better kimchi fries elsewhere. The cheese was very gooey though. The boneless wings weren't as crunchy as they could have been, especially coming out in a stone dish, but the garlic soy sauce was still pretty good. Our mains were really good -- the japchae, which I ordered with fried tofu, had the right texture and flavor, and was delicious yet spicy. The tofu was a little bland though. My partner enjoyed the squid and pork belly dish and said that the sauce was similar to the japchae sauce. The portions were pretty normal and not too big, so we had a few leftovers but not too many. The prices were also pretty reasonable as well. Overall we were really happy with our food here and would come back if we ever visited again.
