Jake’s is a great place to unwind and enjoy a couple drinks. The bartenders are fast and efficient, the dinks are made well and the camaraderie is second to none. The blend make a perfect place to make new friends or be a recluse and soak in your own thoughts.

Great little neighborhood bar! Friendly staff, clean, lots of choices for drinks. Dart machines, golf game, lots of seating. It has a locals feel, but we felt welcomed right away. Will stop again!

I went to Jake’s bar and immediately felt welcomed because I am also Jake. A place for Jake’s, who could ask for anything better? I brought in 25 extra large stuffed crust pizzas and a camel knuckle soup. I went to order my first drink and APPARENTLY the first amendment means nothing because I was kicked out after saying “Goodfellas” was better than “Godfather part II”. I crawled on the ground looking for my moose cankle rye bread for several minutes. Will never come again, unless I can bring my 4 ball skinned turtle puree.

Great Ankeny bar with fantastic music all night long. Have been here a couple of times with friends, and it is always easy to get drinks at the bar. This is our new favorite spot since we relocated from the south up north.

Clean bar, but the bartender had a bad attitude. Rude to me but acted really cute with my husband when she thought I wasn’t watching. If she was nice to me too I would have takin it as she’s a friendly girl but that wasn’t the case. Such bad business to be mean to females she could make double the tips but maybe it’s not about tips for her maybe she’s searching for her perfect someone. Best of luck to her, we won’t be back ever …. And I’ll speak of this experience whenever it’s brought up. Sucks cuz I really support small businesses.

Sure, it’s a strip mall bar that’s pretty much a dive, but I love it. Staff is surprisingly attentive and polite for how busy it can get and I’ve never had much of an issue with the clientele. Love coming hear to watch Hawkeye, Cyclone or Cubs games. Insanely low prices also. One of my favorite bars in the city.

My boyfriend and I had barely ordered our first drink before the bartender started being rude. My boyfriend asked him if they did anything for birthdays and the bartender very rudely snapped back that if we could celebrate everyone’s birthday his was in August. I’m sorry but as a person having worked in the service industry and sales I have to say a simple, “No. We cannot give you a shot for your birthday” would have worked fine. Terrible service. Terrible place. We immediately felt unwelcome. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. We are people that can throw down a few and ALWAYS tip well. Needless to say I left a zero dollar tip, we chugged our 1 drink and left. I would give it zero stars if I could. What a waste of space!
