Jax's Bar Review - Studio City - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Even by the standards of the Vanderpump Rules Restaurant Universe, Jax’s is particularly bleak. Located on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, this pseudo sports bar with cheap panel flooring and floral wallpaper is closer to a temporary event space than it is a legitimate food and drink establishment. A giant tent hanging over the back patio looks like it could blow over with the next gust of the Santa Anas. The cocktails are predictably weak and sugary, the flatbreads are stale, and unless there’s a Vanderpump-related event going on, the place will likely be completely empty." - Brant Cox

The food was great! Hot and fresh and quick. The service was really great. Luma was our server and she was fantastic, extremely friendly. We had a great time celebrating my birthday and the drinks were good. They were decently priced and tasted good. The bartenders were great too and provided a great atmosphere/experience. For the area and today’s prices, the prices were not bad at all to our surprise.

Food was good, atmosphere was great. We came early so it was quiet and we were able to have a conversation. I had no complaints except it was expensive, probably because a large service charge was added to the bill. Still would come back, now that we know about the service charge we can order accordingly.

The service was amazing. Highly recommend the Mac & cheese. Was shocked with the beer cheese, I pictured it warm. It's served with a warm pretzel but basically cold cheese spread- just a warning because it threw me off. I think of it was warmer, it would have been better. The GM Stephanie was SO nice and had great recommendations , but each employee was very friendly! The Brittany sweet tea- sub vodka for me- was so good and refreshing! The service was great and the atmosphere was beautiful!

We went there on a Tuesday night and the vibe was mellow, it was nice. The stage between Rocco’s and Jax’s super awesome! They didn’t disappoint! We tried the fried zucchini and they were delicious!! Also, the decor was AMAZING!!!

We had to come check out the newest place to open from the vanderpump universe! There’s no lot parking but we were able to find close street parking and there’s a valet. There’s plenty of space, an indoor bar with seating and outdoors with TVs. The service was pretty quick and the food was really good. The best garlic fries ever. We wish there was the beer cheese to try but we all agreed we’d come by again. Everything had shareable portions and it felt like you got a lot for the price tag. They didn’t have the full menu, is that for game days only? Not sure but with how good the bar menu was, I’d definitely try other food items. It’s a cute place to hold a private event.

Great food and atmosphere had the sweetest waiter pictured below and service was great considering he was the only one there . But I loved how other parts of the house helped him. I will definitely come again beer cheese and pretzel was so yummy.

We went there on a Monday night to watch Monday night football. The staff were very sweet and attentive. I had mozzarella sticks and my boyfriend had the meatball sandwich, both were great. I was a little sad that they were out of the famous Mamaw's beer cheese, but hopefully we can try it next time we're down here. It wasn't super busy, but we were there pretty early and stayed a few hours. The decor was unique and the vibes were fun. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to watch some sports, get some food and drinks and possibly spot a reality star or two.

I was super disappointed by Jax’s. The interior was giving hookah lounge, just very uncomfortable seating arrangement for dining honestly even drinking with a group. In hindsight would have sat outside. I thought the food was pretty bland besides the beer cheese. The pretzel carried the beer cheese appetizer. The fries and entrees could have used more salt. Drinks were okay. It wasn’t busy so service was quick and our server was nice. Our wraps came out sporadically, and the man (not our server) handing them to us had no idea what the wraps were and we ended up eating each other’s food. This place could use a little revamp in the seating arrangements and menu. All in all it did not ruin my night or anything but it’s not the place I’d come back to again nor recommend for a good Saturday night out.

Popped in here with one of my favorite people in the world, but especially LA. I'd seen Jax's next to Rocco's a few times, but never thought to stop in. Near the corner of Whitsett Avenue/Ventura Blvd - It's got a great outdoor patio layout with a mix of outdoor casual meets semi chic meet sports bar. The inside is very vibrant with a full bar on one end with seating and booths throughout along the wall... It's giving mellow nightclub lounge inside party on the outside. Arriving first I scoped out the place just a few minutes after they opened and grab a nice spot around the plants across from some heat lamps and long beach tables. Sarah arrived a little later and I just got us some water to start. We had some pretty okay cocktails. Paired up with the Mediterranean plate, veggies and Sarah's choice of Soft Street Pretzel... We had plenty. I didn't notice a lot of spelled out vegan options just a small couple by default as well as for vegetarian items. I expected a good amount being in Studio City. They do have a beyond burger... Not sure if they can modify salads (hold the cheese) or about the Buffalo Cauliflower... But seem like worth inquiring about. Our server was incredible the entire night. I'm/we're definitely grateful for her and a fun night out. Super attentive, friendly and caring. I remember she's from Chicago and might also be a manager here. Erin is astounding. The bathrooms are nice - gender neutral sink area in one part and individual use restrooms across from it. Natural small plant life meets earthy jungle vibes. Parking is street, meters are sparse but you'll get lucky, but a ride share is your friend. Open daily at 5pm throughout the week and as early as Noon on weekends until close. I've never really seen or gotten into the Vanderpump franchise, but we did run into Jax and he seemed like a decent guy overall. A bit surprised they don't highlight their staff as much as friends, patrons, and public figures. I would pop in again for a drink or happy hour situation... The margaritas are delicious. I'm not crazy about the food, pretty much the exact same menu as Rocco's next door. Bar pub style eats and bites including pizza, sandwiches, salads, wings, burgers, flat bread and loads of appetizers (like tacos). Trivia Thursday as well as Karaoke Mondays sound super fun. I know they do a lot of events here, including watch parties - but you can also book the space for private events.

While upon walking in the vibes were there, this place left much missing and I will definitely never be walking back in again. Ordered: 1. Amaretto sour. They clearly use a premade sour mix and the bartender didn't even bother shaking it. It was basically amaretto in a cup with ice. 2. Spicy marg. Gross. 3. Memaw's beer cheese. Memaw is probably rolling over in her grave this was so, so bad. It was hardened and scooped out from a tub that had probably been sitting in a fridge for weeks. Who serves cold chunky beer cheese?? The pretzel it came with was good tho. Service is fine, music was too loud for conversation, but music choice was good. Valet was 12 dollars. Otherwise it's street parking.

It's important to note that Jax is basically conjoined with Rocco's in Studio City. Previously, this space was Rocco's later-night, adjunct "speakeasy." Now, though it gives the appearance of a different business, Jax still serves the menu from Rocco's, so one presumes this higher tone, comfier space is but a spinoff. That said, there's nothing wrong with having a lounge-like alternative to the lower-down, sports bar vibe... and it is, indeed, a very comfortable place to relax and watch a game, with couches and pillows and an easy-going crowd that included puppies and babies. But... We had a server who seemed hopelessly like a deer caught in headlights. I'm generally pretty forgiving of waitstaff, as they work terribly hard for not enough money, and put up with a whole heck of a lot of unpleasant people. But ours truly seemed confused by every request (none of which were particularly complex), and she disappeared for long periods of time while other servers in our vicinity appeared far more attentive to their customers. In fact, one of the other servers brought drink refills to us at a point when our gal was MIA. Okay, so we landed a dud of a server compared to others who were clearly doing much better by their tables. It happens. C'est la vie. But then there was the food. Like it's sister space, Rocco's, Jax, is primarily a pizza joint that also offers a small menu of traditional sports bar/college crowd things like wings and burgers, etc. We started with the Cauliflower Wings, which were pleasantly made and a perfectly enjoyable appetizer. The buffalo sauce was mildly spicy (I would have liked even more heat), and the Ranch dressing side was appropriately herbaceous and cooling. If not truly memorable, these veggie wings were satisfying in the moment. Then came the pizza... and, as my father would say on Thanksgiving drives when we hit traffic on the way to my cousins, the party was over. Our pizza (1/2 cheese, 1/2 sausage & jalapeño) was disappointingly bland. Though we requested a "well-done pizza," the pie came conspicuously UNDER-done. And, though it ultimately did have a slightly crispier crust, this pizza was, overall, forgettable. Sauce, cheese and toppings all seemed middle of the road. Just a few weeks before, we had visited several of the city's top-rated Pizza Places, so this really paled by comparison. My Tip: If you're going to watch a game, eat somewhere else first and then pop into Jax for a comfortable landing zone with plenty of screens and some decently made cocktails. No dinner required.

I have recently really gotten into Vanderpump Rules and The Valley. I was in the area and my co-worker (who is also a fan) pointed out Jax's to me. I knew we had to go over there after our event. We wandered over to Jax's around 9ish on Thursday. It was pretty dead for a Thursday night, but I wanted to just hang out and soak in the ambiance. So, it was perfect for me. There is a bar inside and seating area out inside and outside. I grabbed a drink and decided to sit outside. While I was the bar, my co-worker randomly asked if Jax was going to be there (as a joke), and the bartender acknowledged and said that Jax and Tom Schwartz would be there in about an an hour and a half. The fangirl in me definitely wanted to see them, so we decided to wait. The drinks were just OK (average for LA-adjacent prices). We didn't get food because we had just eaten, but I saw some other tables and it looked pretty good. The restrooms were disgusting. The bartenders were pretty nice. About 2 hours later, Jax showed up with a party bus (I guess they were doing an event where they were going to go to several bars in VPR with Jax's being the last stop). Once Jax showed up, the mood shifted a little. It was hard to get the bartender's attention because they were catering to the party bus (we wanted to buy a souvenir shirt but had a hard time tracking down someone). Jax was there and was not super welcoming (not surprising, but I thought he would surprise me). We left shortly after. But, on my way out, we ran into Tom Schwartz, who was super chill and he took photos with us. Would I go back here again? Probably not my first choice to come back here. But, if another VPR fan wants to go here again, might come back for an cast sighting.

After wanting to give this place a try today we decided it was time. My husband and I are fans of both Vanderpump Rules and The Valley we had to give this place a try. We live down the street and were excited. It is an extension of Rocco's an already loved Valley restaurant. Once we walked in we were quickly greeted by a nice waitress. It was open seating at the time as we went during lunch hour so we decided to sit inside. The waitress quickly came to take our drink orders. I ordered the Blackberry Bourbon drink and it was delicious. We ordered the calamari as appetizer. We then ordered the 10 inch pepperoni pizza and the Mediterranean salad. It was all delicious. Our waitress was always checking in and making sure that we were ok. The ambiance was comfortable and good vibes. Can't wait to go back.

Drinks 3/10 Food 6/10 Service 5/10 Ambiance 6/10 Bravo celebrity factor 10/10 The quick review: The drinks were terrible. TERRIBLE. The service was slow and unfriendly. The food was mostly good (honestly was expecting it to be bad and it was surprisingly better than anticipated) but let's be real, the reason you come here is to see Jax and others from Vanderpump Rules / Bravo. And for that, it was fun. Drinks: When I say the drinks were terrible... omg I can't believe what I paid. The espresso martini was... not it. The margarita was disgusting, overly syrupy, and just bad. But when I ordered the vodka soda... HOW DO YOU MESS THAT UP?! It was so bad. The ratio? The brands? The fact that they put fake lime juice in it when I asked for a lime on the side? I don't know but it was bad. Food: pretty good, for bar food. The truffle fries were the best we ordered. The sliders were simple but good. The artichoke was okay. And the Bianca flatbread was fine. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't great? When you're drunk watching sports the food would be solid, but if you're having a chill night, the food is just fine. Service: I totally understand that we came on a busy night, but omg the service was SO slow. We were constantly ignored (at our table - not just fending for ourselves at the bar) and when we were able to flag down a server, they were not friendly. Our food runners and bussers, however, were amazing and sooo friendly. Would I go back for a VPR event or sighting? Sure. But I would not come back for a random night out. Just truly not worth it. TomTom and SUR on the other hand? WORTH IT.

Sometimes a 3 star review is looked at as a negative. But I honestly had a positive experience at Jax's Studio City. In case you do not want to read a detailed review, my reasoning for 3 stars is because it is just ok. Would I go out of my way to bring someone here? No. Not because its bad but because there are better options out there. If you are a Vanderpump Rules fan, you should come check this place out at least once. The food menu was extensive which I appreciated. There were plenty of options which would appeal to many tastes. My party had Mamaw's Beer Cheese, Greek Salad, and some kind of Truffle Fries. They were all great but nothing to write home about. I would be curious to try some of the other food here as well. They seemed to have some other yummy options. Curious about the Beer cheese? It is a traditional Kentucky Beer Cheese and is served cold. The overall taste reminded me of the cheese that comes in the snack packs for kids with the little pretzel sticks. It tasted like American Cheese and no clear beer flavor. That might appeal to someone but it wasn't really my cup of tea. The pretzel it came with though was very good, soft and warm. The drinks I had were The Brittany: Sweet Tea and Espresso Martini. Both solid drinks but ultimately nothing amazing about them. I came here on a Saturday at about 3/4pm. It was a little slow. The ambiance is nice and the decor is nice as well. Again, I would come here if someone wanted to check it out or if we were nearby. I really wanted to be blown away. But ultimately I would pass for something else.

It's bar food. If you're drunk and wanna snack, you'll be fine. I went to try Mamaw's beer cheese that we've all heard so much about and it was not great. I've had some other beer cheeses before ..usually a hot, dippy cheese sauce. This was cold and looked and tasted like a port wine cheese. Overall was disappointed. No wonder why they never made it to sell.

Came here on a Thursday night around 7, and there was a good amount of people. We sat at the booth under Jax's neon name, and it was a good spot. It wasn't too busy so it was nice. I got a watermelon margarita, which was super strong and had a watermelon after taste (not complaining) and Jax's Italian fries and the cheesy bread sticks. The fries were really good! The aioli was amazing. The cheesy breadsticks were meh but still somewhat good. The staff were super friendly! We left at about 9 and it start d to get more crowded (of course haha). My friends got Brittany's iced tea and the spicy margarita and they said they were really good and strong as well. Parking: there is street parking/meters and it was somewhat hard to find a spot. Will be back! Good fun vibes!

When I walked by Jax's bar, I knew the name sounded so familiar. And then I saw Jax himself, and it all made sense! Jax was so kind in answering our questions about his new bar. He invited us to come back at night to check it out and enjoy the DJ. We couldn't pass up the offer. The best part of this new gem in Studio City is the ambiance. The outdoor area feels like a sports lover's paradise with its man-cave vibes with more TVs than you'd ever ask for! Even better, apparently it's dog friendly so all our furry friends can join in on the fun. Inside, the ambiance is more tropical loungey. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced, which after meeting Brittany (who is also a sweetheart), we found out that this was intentional so that everyone can enjoy indulging. The best part is the DJ and room for dancing, which is hard to come by in Studio City, let alone the entire San Fernando Valley. I will have to inquire on which nights they have a DJ. Thank you Jax and Brittany for your warmth and kindness and for creating a space in Studio City that caters to all the moods and occasions- enjoying a cocktail, watching sports, or dancing the night away.

Love the vibe of Jax's Studio City. Inside you feel like you are in a trendy bar with sparkling lights and booths - in the outdoor space you feel like your in your favorite neighbors backyard. We went when they opened at 5pm - loved the mellow vibe and the welcoming staff. We started with a drink at the bar and then moved to the outdoor patio to enjoy the food. As the night went on the crowd grew and things got more active, so it really appeals to all types! Jax's shares their kitchen with Rocco's next door but there are a few items that you can only get at Jax and highly recommend that you first take a look at this menu - we tried the Mamaw's Beer Cheese and a flatbread off of it. Both were great, i know everyone is going to be raving about the beer cheese but i'd like to give a shoutout to the side pretzel, pretty darn delicious! Our waitress suggested next time to try the sliders (yes, please). Our office is right around the corner, so we hope this to be our new spot for a quick after work drink or bite to eat! Also lets be honest - i'm going to need to try some more of the food!!

Okay so. I'm not normally one for a "celebrity" spot BUT. They've done an amazing job with the space. The service is amazing-special shout out to my girl Stephanie! Drinks are great pours and seating is ample. Great trivia and karaoke nights. Honestly, if I lived in the valley (which friends are trying) it would be a local hang for me.

Was very excited to try Jax's but we didn't even stay 15 mins as the experience was pretty terrible. It was a Saturday and it was dead, we got greeted but then 15 mins, no server to be found. Then, I noticed ants crawling all over the table and I was done. Do not recommend

this place has so much potential! The food is pretty good, I had a cheese pizza and Jax's Italian fries, both were really good and I would eat both again. I went on a Saturday night around 10, there was a lot of people there but no DJ, and no outside heating that I could see or feel so it was extremely cold. They added heaters for the outside seating and had a DJ on Saturday I would go often . I did feel a little out of place because everybody there was a lot older, I would say mid 40s but again I think they don't have enough to draw in the younger crowd. The drinks were expensive for the location, I ordered a mule and a cranberry vodka and it was over $30. please get a dj. I would not come back on a Saturday night, it just does not seem like my personal type of crowd, but I would order the food to go

Jax's bamboo was dying in the ladies restroom so I fed it some water and that's my contribution. But on a serious note..:This is a good place for wine and beer and to watch a game. I like grabbing some snacks and just hanging here. Met Jax and he was really nice. Overall good place.

My husband knows I'm a huge fan and took me here for my birthday. The space was huge and loved the decor. I had the Brittney tea which was delish and my husband's spicy margarita was def too spicy for me but he liked it. I also tried the espresso martini which had a lot of vodka but would've liked more espresso. I could really taste the garlic on the truffle fires and pizza tasted fresh out of the oven. The wait staff was very attentive and I forgot to get a sweatshirt before I left so we will def be back!! Didn't see any bravoleberties this time...maybe next time!

Server called me grumpy when I pointed out we had seven people sitting at a table waiting to be served during happy hour. They were more concerned about the themed event they were preparing for later in the evening. If you are "serving" then you should provide service. Not a fan.

As longtime fans of Vanderpump Rules, my friend and I were beyond excited to visit LA for a VPR crawl and our first stop was Jax's Studio City. While the location is a little out of the way, our experience was phenomenal. I absolutely love that this bar is both a chic, IG worthy spot for cocktails and a sports bar all in one. While there was only one bartender working at the time, our drinks came quickly. The margaritas were outstanding! As a fan of the show, my friend and I were completely in shock to meet Jax in person. Initially, I felt a little embarrassed to ask for a picture, however Jax was extremely welcoming and friendly. In addition to Jax, we also saw a few cast members of The Valley. Even Jerry O'Connell stopped by! Out of all the spot we hit, Jax's Studio City was definitely our favorite. Great experience! Can't wait to return for my birthday!

Multiple 5 star visits, have since improved the patio sound alot as well, thank you! Downgrade 1 star for the service & beer quality. Must have been an off night or the end of the tap. They now have a service fee on food, not beer. Rocco's menu id a bonus, you know you are getting good food bc that kitchen is great.

Loved the location and decor. Had great amount to tvs WITH SOUND! So many bars do not have sound so that was a major plus. We first ordered drinks and food at the bar, had food brought to us with no number she just asked what general area we would be sitting it. Later on in the evening had a sever assigned to us. We got wings burger and mozzarella sticks: burger had an amazing pretzel bread rest of the food was ok. But you don't come for the food you come for the fun. Great place to watch games

Full disclosure, me and the wife are full-blown VPR/Valley nerds, so after visiting the legendary Tonga Hut, we had to make the trek to stop in for some drinks, pics and a hat. We then decided to order the wings, and wow, I was blown away! They were cooked and sauced to perfection! (I am a self-proclaimed wing snob). Unfortunately Jax was not there for A) for me to get a pic with so my wife could post on her IG to rub in her friends faces (The one posted with my review will have to do....for now). B) For me to compliment him on what turned out to be a great and fun experience. I guess it's only right that the #1 guy in the group has the #1 wings in LA. Thanks, Jax!! Your staff is super friendly and helpful. Kudos to our bartender (blonde lady from sunday night 6/2) and her 80s playlist!! We will definitely be back on our next trip from L.V.

We checked out Jax's for the first time while visiting LA today and it did not disappoint. The amphitheater was amazing, the vibes were great. The drinks were delicious & and the pretzel & beer cheese was mouthwatering. The staff were friendly and they were on top of everything. We will definitely come back next time we are in town.

We had the best time at Jax's! The drinks were great with lots of choices and heavy pours. A bunch of the cast from The Valley were there and were so friendly and excited to hang out with everyone. The space is very cool with lots of seating and plenty of staff taking drink orders, etc. We can't wait to go back!

My friend and I loved it here! We weren't sure what to expect but it was one of my favorite stops in the area! We had gone to other bars with so-so service so we were very pleasantly surprised that the staff here is so attentive and sweet! Our girls were Stephanie and Alleah (I hope got the names right) and they were such dolls! They made sure we were taken care of and that we got a picture with Jax himself. Jax was also so cool! He passed out shots and took pictures with everyone and even had conversations with all of us. Next time I will have to try the food because everything looked wonderful! 10/10 experience!

Me and my wife went there on a Sunday evening. Was a little disappointed. The setup of the place wasn't to be like the Vanderpump restaurants but fails. The drink list is lacking and my margarita was bad I sent it back and got red whine. The Beer Cheese was great it was the best part of the entire evening. We order sliders and Fries they took forever we had to ask what the hold up was. The server finally came over and said he forgot to put the order in!! Which was odd because the place was dead. The place look and feels like you're eating in and old warehouse for some reason. I guess we went in with to high of expectations! It was probably the one and only time we will go there.

Was at Rocco's and had to make a phone call. Went next door to Jax. There was no one there, customers or staff. 10/10 would recommend for a quiet place to make a phone call during a busy sports night next door.

TLDR: I had my graduation party here with 50 people and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! Amazing place to host an event - open bar, delicious food, and immaculate vibes. Special shoutout to Alex who coordinated the event and Alaina, our bartender. Such a fun experience and we will definitely be coming back for more fun in the future! My roommate and I just graduated with our Master's degree and needed a venue to host a party for our friends and family. We live very close to Jax's and had visited a few times with a good experience, so we decided to have our party at Jax's. We worked with Alex from start to finish for this party and he was THE BEST. He was so helpful and accommodating in helping us to throw this party. We were in communication with him about a month and half prior to the party date and we were able to get everything squared away from scheduling to party packages. We decided to go with an open bar and food package that included assorted pizzas, mac n cheese, salad, and chicken skewers (all of which were SO yummy). I brought cake and desserts for a dessert table which Alex helped us set up. In addition to that, I also brought decorations, balloons, and even a slideshow that we put on their TVs outside. The space was so cute and easily accommodated our party of 50. The food was delicious and I loved that they kept an eye on how much we ate and brought out more without me having to ask. The open bar was such a great idea and we even got our own private bartender outside, Alaina. Alaina is such a gem - she was so quick, made a variety of yummy drinks at our request, and handled our party like a champ!! We couldn't have asked for a sweeter bartender to celebrate with us. After the party was over, more staff cleaned and was so helpful. I can't remember all of their names, but every single individual was so welcoming, warm, and kind to me. Also after the party, we migrated to the inside space and danced away to the DJ which was also so lit. From start to finish, this party was everything I had envisioned and hoped for. I am so thankful for all of the hard work the staff at Jax's put in for us and I am blown away by how successful it was. Jax's truly exceeded my expectations, as well as all of my friends and families'. So many of our guests raved about Jax's and how much fun the party was. I can't say enough good things about Jax's and our experience hosting our grad party here. It was a phenomenal time and we will definitely be back for more fun!!

Such a fun place! We came here for Halloween and back again for House of Villains premiere. My husband loves coming on the weekend to watch football on all of the tvs. Jax is great and always around. Brittany is super sweet also! The beer cheese lives up to the hype and Dj Xoul was awesome. We laughed and danced all night. Try "the Britt" specialty cocktail - that's my favorite. I picked up a Jax hat and shirt for cheap! A must try if you're in the valley. Highly recommend!

The stars are really only for the friendly service. Everything else was so absurd, I am shocked this place is still in business. And I don't understand how any other reviews can praise the food/drinks. We showed up the evening of the VPR finale (not to watch, just to go experience the place and then go home and watch the finale in peace) and it was dead. Maybe 7 customers total. The beer selection at what is supposed to be a sports bar was abysmal (we got a pitcher of Lagunitas IPA). Thank god we didn't order cocktails because they looked terrible too (who lists "sour mix" in their cocktail description?). Also there was a surcharge for paying with a card which is insane. There are SO many great bars with excellent food and ambiance all along Ventura Blvd so please don't waste your time or money coming here.

My husband and I came here for New Year's Eve and we were happy with everything. Very cute decor and different vibes throughout the place so you can pick where you're most comfortable. Service was fantastic considering how busy they were. We always had staff checking on us and Jax was hustling throughout the night, clearing our table whenever we finished our drinks. Shout out to our server Stephanie (I hope we got her name right), she made sure we were always doing well and had a lovely attitude. The food was all good, the pretzel that came with the beer cheese was 10/10, and all the portions were all very generous compared to most places these days. We have no complaints and wish this place the best of luck, we could tell Jax is working hard to make sure everything is just right and we're hoping it sticks around for a very long time.

Came to Jax's due to being a fan of VPR. When we arrived I accidentally went to the restaurant next door, the two locations were almost connected? It was confusing. Ultimately we ended up at Jax's and it was a surprising experience. Food was actually really good. We ordered wings, cauliflower, pretzels n beer cheese, and I forget which salad. Food was very very good and would come back just for that. Service was very quick and attentive to our order modifications. The inside of Jax's is pretty small and we sat outside at first and felt a little disconnected but after we found seats inside it was much more enjoyable. We went on a Thursday trivia night the person putting trivia on was nice and funny! Nothing was wrong with outside, it was neat clean and a lot to do (darts, tv, and blankets provided) Overall I would recommend to people who do not even watch VPR. Very lovely experience.

The food prices are so over priced for 1 meals = $25 dollars The sales taxes, card transaction fee is 4% , waiters TIP = extra 10 $ dollars on top of your meal Why are you charging a card transactions fee of 4% when you don't even take cash as an option? The food is ok but not worth $18 and up for bar food in a empty dead environment with no one around just empty tables outside and no one sitting at the bar to be charging high end prices just stop ripping people off The outside tables smells like toilet bowl cleaner which it makes you feel like you're eating inside a bathroom just smells really bad. There is other types of cleaners to use to wipe down the outside tables with that don't leave a smell. To be not busy and dead on friday and saturday nights is a problem you better lower your food prices and drink prices down or this business is going to be closed down soon. Paying $25 dollars for 1 meals to be sitting in an environment with no one else around in the outside patio section and inside is ripping off your customers that is why no one is paying the high end prices to be at this Jax's bar because no one can afford the high prices and its dead no one around.

I hate to leave bad reviews, but I recently went here with a few other people and the service was awful as was the food. The whole vibe was uninspired, the menu was basic and the restaurant itself was dirty and smelled foul. Do yourself a favor and avoid this lame excuse of a sports bar.

Attendee karaoke night last night & had a blast. Drinks were great. Venue is very nice. We didn't eat, but food looked & smelled good. Highly recommend. We'll be back on our next visit to LA. Thank you Jax & Schwatrz for the pics!

Service dog friendly. They have the same food and drink menu as Rocco's. Friendly and attentive servers. They have trivia night which is good if you know Film and LA history since the 1970s. They should put the sign outside what kind of Topic the Trivia Nights is about. There should be different themes to every Trivia Night. Good food and drinks. Lami. delicious. Yummy.

Pretty cool spot. Had some of the pretzel with cheese dip I wish the cheese dip was melted but it was still good. Tall glass for beer was a nice plus that I enjoyed.

My friend and I drove from San Diego for a VPR crawl for my birthday. We started at Jax's and were greeted by Jax when we walked in. He was so nice and made sure everyone at his bar was having a good time. I didn't get to try the beer cheese, it was out of commission but the drinks and sliders were good. We went to TomTom and SUR but had the most fun at Jax's. Def can't wait to come back.

The beyond burger and fries and cheese bread I had was great. Good service too and loved the use of couches and aesthetic and rawt in hail on the wall. Good job Jax. Those that don't eat meat really appreciate the beyond burger option too.

Rented Jax for a private party. The service was impeccable. The space was perfect for a large gathering with plenty of space inside and out. Inside is a cool speakeasy vibe. Outside is perfect for and comfortable for any season. Everyone RAVED about the food. What a great addition to the valley and Studio City!

Went here for the games since Roccos was PACKED. Great spot! Love it when two sports bars are right next to each other in this car dependent town.

Service...What service?? I was in Studio City visiting my sister and best friend and we decided to stop by Jax on Friday (5/17/24) around 5:30 PM for a cocktail. We walked into the "outdoor" area with the picnic tables. There were several open tables and only one occupied. We decided to check out the inside and sit at at table where the bar is located. We sat ourselves and only noticed a few patrons inside. (No host to be found) The bartenders never acknowledged us after we sat at a table. We waited approx. 10 min with no service. Needless to say we left. Not sure if they have staffing issues, but this was totally unacceptable. My sister and her husband are very well known in the area and in Beverly Hills. Too bad they won't be recommending this place to their clients, friends ect. Disappointing to say the least.

After an eventful day in LA, my fiancé and I were craving some drinks and bar food on the drive home. Jax's Studio City checked the boxes so we decided to stop by. Arriving around 8pm, it was pretty slow so we were able to get a nice corner couch seat next to the TV. We were immediately greeted by a kind blonde server (name?) who was very attentive! My fiancé and I shared espresso martinis to start, and ordered a 10pc wings, onion rings, and small Greek salad. The "small" Greek salad was a solid dinner portion, the wings (half bbq half Garlic Parmesan) were crispy and well coated, and the onion rings were big, crispy, and well coated. The espresso martinis were smooth and ice cold. The main highlight of the night was an appearance from the man himself! Jax arrived at the restaurant an hour after we did and took the time to greet each group in there. After having a quick conversation with us, he surprised us with two Margaritas as an engagement present! He even offered to take a photo with us and cracked some jokes. Overall memorable night, the service, food, and drinks are all excellent. Jax stopping by and being a true standup guy was the cherry on top! Jax's Studio City earned my recommendation!

We went there on a Monday night to watch Monday night football. The staff were very sweet and attentive. I had mozzarella sticks and my boyfriend had the meatball sandwich, both were great. I was a little sad that they were out of the famous Mamaw's beer cheese, but hopefully we can try it next time we're down here. It wasn't super busy, but we were there pretty early and stayed a few hours. The decor was unique and the vibes were fun. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to watch some sports, get some food and drinks and possibly spot a reality star or two.
