I’ve been going to Jack and Dan’s for about 13 years now. It’s always been a pretty average spot for me—nothing exceptional, but not terrible, either. Unfortunately, my visit today changed everything. I had an encounter with the owner, and honestly, it was shocking. He came off as the rudest, most arrogant person I’ve ever met in a restaurant. It really soured my experience, and it’s hard to overlook that kind of behavior. After that interaction, I can’t see myself spending another dime there. It’s disappointing because I used to enjoy going, but I just can’t support a place where the owner treats people so poorly.
Do better.

Classic college sports bar supporting the local Gonzaga Bulldogs, especially the basketball team. Highly recommend coming here to watch any of the “Zags” games. Come early, to scope out a good spot for a TV (they aren’t positioned in ideal places and they are somewhat small for the size of the bar). Great attentive service during busy hours. Not a big fan of the food here. Would come for drinks and sports.

Guests, truly be beware! Especially those who are younger and female, please be cautious.
I had entered this bar, excited to for my friend who was joining me moments later. I was received with a fairly cold welcoming by a bartender named Blake as I sat at the bar rail and he proceeded to asked for my ID. For pretense, I am a 26-year female with an enhanced Washington State ID which has been in my possession for over four years now. Blake took my ID and needed several minutes to verify it. After staring it with zero movement for a minute, he then used a black light to inspect the hidden details for even longer. Since it was still too challenging for him to distinguish the ID, he decided to show two random older men at bar, who are clearly drinking, to aid him in verifying lol. Attached to this review is an image of the unexpected incident. I do not know these older men, and for Blake to be displaying my personal information to them, including my full government name and home address, especially while in my sight of vision is beyond levels of unprofessionalism. This is also an incredibly obvious safety concern. While immensely uncomfortable and disappointed this moment just occurred, Blake appears to me and tells me he’s not comfortable serving me, assuring me that my ID is fake.
As someone who’s worked in the service industry, I’ve been put in similar situations before with fake IDs. For me to come in alone at first, I also completely understand the possibility of a sting operation occurring with the Washington liquor control board. However, I’ve never experienced a bartender with such a substantial lack of knowledge and understanding for valid ID verification. Calling Blake uneducated on the subject would be considered an understatement lol. When I questioned why he didn’t accept my ID, he proceeded to state that “They just started coming out with enhanced licenses, so there’s no way you would have an enhanced ID for that long now” LMAO. I can only assume he was referring to the “Real IDs” that are required now for flight travel. He then mentioned that the hidden emblems on the ID under black light weren’t glowing right, that the ID didn’t feel right, and that my picture looked nothing like me. (???) My friend who joined me moments later asked him to compare her two valid IDs, which felt the exact same as mine, and he said hers most definitely felt real! She’s also worked service industry for a long time so we both got a real kick out of this tbh. From my guess I can only assume he was highly anxious thinking it was a sting operation, and when realizing he was wrong, chose to double down instead of holding himself to accountability and integrity. Or Blake’s management failed poorly to educate their employee on proper protocol, ranging from actually knowing how to validate ID, to exerting actual professional, kind, and quality customer service to begin with. Darn shame. To have someone severely uneducated in ID verification working in a college bar sounds like underage drinking is inevitable, and that the liquor control board should be more deeply involved.
Unfortunately, Blake is not the only one in this situation lacking both accountability and integrity. I spoke with owner of the bar, Kevin Macdonald, over the phone. When I mentioned the issue to him, he supported Blakes actions and behavior. He did say he would speak to Blake about enhanced IDs at least. Kevin showed complete lack and disregard in safety concerns towards Blake showing random men my personal information, stating “it was probably just a manager or something”. Do managers drink on the clock here?
If you decide to attend this bar, make sure to bring multiple forms of identification, and to be prepared for your home address to be shared with random drunk old men. Hopefully and God-willing this review finds some readers and guides them away from this unprofessional establishment. Based on reading the multitude of other negative reviews left before mine, looks like Kevin is doing a great job of that anyway.

A popular Bar & Grill just down the street from Gonzaga. As you walk in there is a large cozy wrap around bar with plenty of large and small tables to suit about any group. And if the bar scene and all of its TVs are not what you are looking for, there is a large dining area in the back. I had the Ruben with onion rings and it was excellent!

The bacon burger I order wasn’t don’t buy a quarter inch through and the fries were cold and limp. Yes I took it to go but grabbed a fry when I left the parking lot it was cold and limp then. I thought ok one but no so much 30 bucks down the drain. And the beer out of th tap is flat and the glasses are dirty giving you the slimy feel on your lips. Won’t waste my time or money here again. I don’t need to get sick. Please don’t eat here. Or drink here.
