The food was amazing, the bartenders fantastic. Every drink was on point and each one better than the next. Unfortunately we won’t be returning. We had a good size group with us and an altercation occurred at no fault of ours. Our friends motorcycle got hit. The bouncer either needs training or he did exactly what he believed to be right. When the situation was already calm and some local idiot comes out screaming at everyone the bouncer let him be. And then he decided to start screaming at my niece who was just sitting with our belongings. The man should have been tossed out. But no he let him stay. No need to spend our money there when there are so many other good places. Don’t waste your time because he is apparently there all the time. EPIC failure Jive Bar.

I hate giving 1 star reviews. I really do. Maybe this place was understaffed. They should have more bartenders and more servers working. It took over 40 minutes to get our food, and I had to walk up from my table to the bar to order our drinks and food, and then he left our drinks at the side of the bar for me to walk up and get it. Fortunately it wasn’t late at night, so I wasn’t worried about someone spiking drinks, but it’s still unfortunate for the dining experience. I paid $57 for 2 decent drinks and 2 small and stale chicken sandwiches. We got the speed bump and the antifreeze drinks, and they were good, but it would have been nice to have more servers and it would have made the experience way better to have more attentive and faster service. The atmosphere and bar facing the street were fun and we enjoyed hanging out, but ultimately, everything else really ruined it. Sorry 🙁 don’t want to get anyone in trouble, but I hate chasing down workers and paying $60 to get my food and drink and then not even really enjoying it. Overall impression and final takeaway, not coming back unless they improve two things: lower prices or get better service. Parking is fine if it’s not too busy.

craft beer prices out of nowhere became outrageous. They keep two rotating draughts on that were always between $5 – $7 a pint, now they are between $8 – $9 a pint! These are common PA breweries, and I know the kegs are inexpensive, yet they are price gauging their pints.. very disappointing. Milford hospitality group has been jacking up their prices on all tap beers lately, maybe it’s time to avoid their bars until they offer reasonable prices. This isn’t NYC.

Fun auto-themed atmosphere. Good food. Good drinks/nice beer list. The crab fries actually had crab meat! (As opposed to Chickies and Pete’s “crab fries”.) Burger and shrimp tacos, very good!

This was our second time here. I highly recommend that you DO NOT EAT HERE. The kitchen staff were eating in the kitchen while preparing food and were not wearing any gloves. (See photos). The kitchen also seemed a bit dirty.
We were going to order food but after observing this we decided not to order anything.
The one man band was good. The bartender was attentive but the drink prices were a little high.

Just light fare,but the platter was enough for 2 ,and service was great and friendly bartender Liz was great, liked to talk with customers and to me that’s very important, only about 8 to 10 bar chairs so go early if your a bar seat person

Went with my husband and our friends – even though no live music (Sunday), the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Ashley, who managed the bar and tables, was funny, engaging and offered great service. Food was basic but delish! TV’s everywhere but not obnoxiously loud. Ashley also makes a great sangria! Not on the drink menu but she whipped one up at my request.
Cost was very reasonable, and the burgers were top notch!

We are newly local to the area and we were really excited to try Jive bar. We had a group of about 10 people to celebrate two birthdays. The night started out great. The bartenders were wonderful, the food was very good, the service was quick and there was even live music. Unfortunately our experience was ruined due to a poorly handled altercation that occurred and we will not be returning. Our friends motorcycle was hit by another customer at the bar. Everything was calm until his friend started yelling and threatening us. Rather than de-escalate the situation, the bouncer allowed him to continue yelling at various people in our group, including my female cousin who was inside by herself. It is clear that you will not be helped if you aren’t a “regular” if any type of incident occurs. Your business would’ve gained 10 more loyal customers had this incident been handled better and had our female group members felt safe. But a business that chooses to protect drunken “regulars” over safety and protection of its other guests is not somewhere we want to be.
