CJ Saloon was the perfect venue for ringing in the New Year. The bands were fantastic, with incredible energy from Shark in the Water and East Bay Soup Kitchen that kept the crowd buzzing all night. The bar staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, which made the experience even better. Hands down, one of my best New Year’s Eve celebrations! ❤️

best dive bar in the area. All the bar tenders are top notch and the drinks are reasonably priced. The crowd is what you’d expect at a dive bar and they are usually accepting of new people. Even hipsters are welcome! Mondays are karaoke, Tuesday is lingerie night, Wednesday is the best live band, and Thursdays are poker. Weekends you can always find kind people.

It’s hard to beat Saturday night at CJs with live Rock-n-Roll, dancing, affordable drinks, pool tables and a lively crowd and never a cover charge.
AP Band played a wide range of metal hits tonight, lots of Metallica, very well performed. Awesome band.
Ya, it’s a bit of a dive bar, but well planned with plenty of seating, nice stage area, bar section, and rear patio. It can get really loud at the stage, so bring plugs if you are trying to save what’s left of your hearing.
No food served, but you are welcome to bring your own eats. Sometimes a taco vendor is near the patio. Good stuff.
Update: giving them five stars now after playing both excellent pool tables, drinking from the supply of fresh ice water and plugging into the phone charger.

I was there for the first time last week but to be honesty I was not impressed by the place at all. The band was awesome and that’s what took me there.

Very disappointed and dissatisfied at this bar. My friend and I were having a great time singing a song from the jukebox and all of a sudden a man ran to us and jumped on top of our table and claimed to be a partner of the owner and guaranteed us that he will change the place for good. He was so annoying and arrogant. My friend and I were shocked and did not pay any attention to him. Consequentl,y, he became so angry at us and he started yelling and pretending singing our song. Finally, we asked him politely to stop and left. He gave us the finger and told us not to come back. What a bad experience we had, we will definitely not go there again! No wonder, there are no recent reviews. Hope mine doesn’t get deleted.

Great dive bar with outside food, live music stage, and Karaoke nights (live or backing tracks). Great bartenders. Lots of bikers during the day. Long hours: old school. Plenty of free parking. Strong drinks. Grungy bathrooms.

They don’t serve food but they do have two places around there. They also have a taco person that comes in some days. I don’t know exactly when their stuff is pretty good. Tacos.. they have a Chinese food place and then they have another place called something Island right next door which a lot of people go to always beezzy

The place was fairly busy and only had one bartender working. No other staff. If you want a drink you gotta stand in line at the bar. I hate that! Gotta deal with that at music venues and what not. But of I go into an establishment, and I have to go to the bar to order a drink, fine. But now that you know I’m a paying customer, come to me and ask if I want another at least. Of at least have wait staff on nights that are obviously going to be more crowded. The price of the drink I ordered was decent and the drink itself was good.
