CJ's Sports Bar & Grille

CJ's is a neighborhood bar (and Grill, apparently) and if you aren't from the local 'hood you may be out of place. We were with friends when we went to CJ's so we didn't have a chance to sit at the bar and act like a local, but we didn't get the vibe that we were very welcome. The bartender seemed inconvenienced by our presence and didn't come to us to ask for drinks except when we first walked in. (I'm guessing the only reason she came to us that time was to ID.) The establishment is wide open has a very large bar area with lots of seating, and even has bar entertainment. The reason we will not likely go back to CJ's is based on how we were treated by the bartender. We spent the hour we were at CJ's playing darts with a clear view of the bar and bartender. We were never approached about another drink or about any outstanding tabs. As we walked to the bar to pay our tabs the rude bartender chose to act as if we were trying to leave without paying by finally leaving her perch behind the bar to intercept us on our way up to pay. Maybe the fact that she was so quick to label us as drink-n-dashers says something for the clientele of this quiet alley bar. Not. a. fan.
