C & J’s Sports Bar

Here watching the pro football with a bunch of locals. Checking to see if they have HBO to watch the Heavyweight fight Saturday night. Having a couple of pops before I go to the in laws for dinner. Free Turkey dinner here why leave!

Total dive bar to watch the the 49ers vs Cardinals game. Bartender was a sweetheart and helpful. They had free damn good Mexican food brought in for the games. That was a nice surprise. Lots of tvs to watch whatever game you’re following.
Not bad experience.

An ok bar.
Came here to support a good friend for his go away party. The bartender was attentive but didn’t know some drinks I asked for which was weird. The place is not bad, has a pool table and I believe some other stuff to do. I know this might sound anal but when the bartender served my drink she didn’t even put a coaster down. Anyways that’s all I got to say.

I don’t know how to feel about this place. The prices are reasonable. The crowd can be very interesting. Karaōke for all you singers out there. The environment is a little dark but relaxing. They had food there for the customers so that was a plus. I don’t dislike this place by any means, I just don’t have a feel on it yet, new to the neighborhood.

Dive bar with some interesting characters. They have a pool table and plenty of seating. HH is from 4 – 6 with drink specials on wells and beer. Typical neighborhood joint with stiff drinks at an affordable price.
Worth checking out if you are in the area.

$ 4 domestics, $ 6 jamesons. Cheap drinks, local dive bar, friendly bartender and interesting people :)
They had a live dj when I was there taking request for songs and a pool table.
A-​OK!

I would give this place zero stars if I could!
I went in there with 3 of my guy friends. I was just tagging along. We all ordered a beer and the bartender said «why not do a pitcher for 10 dollars?». My friends thought it was a sweet deal!
so we ended up ordering 3 pitchers.
The bill came, and the bartender was trying to charge my friends 15 dollars for pitcher. See, I wasn’t paying but I would also be upset if the bartender promised 10 but charged for 15. My friend complained to her and SHE CAME UP WITH THIS MOST PATHETIC ANSWER AND SAID «Well, the system says it’s 15» YOU’RE EFFING KIDDING RIGHT??? My friend was arguing with her and she offered to take 2 dollars off. My friend argued and while he was trying to only pay 10 dollars per pitcher, CHECK THIS OUT, THE BARTENDER IGNORED HIM WHILE HE WAS TALKING AND SWIPED HIS CARD! I don’t think I’ve been in such a horrible place. This bartender should get FIRED. I have no idea what her name was, I wish I knew so I could post it here and give you guys a heads up.
I am not a person who put people down but WHAT A FUCK! NG DUMB ASS THAT BARTENDER was.
Don’t promise prices and say «well the system said it’s this price.
The best I could do is describe what she looked like, she was a heavier set woman with brown hair. Caucasian, Older. She was probably about 50. We came here on a Wednesday night so she probably works Wednesdays.
AVOID AVOID AVOID

This is the kind of place that makes you hope you’ve had all your shots. The service sucks and the management isn’t any better. I’d rather waste my time at the DMV.

Great little dive bar down the street from my house. Strong drinks and decently priced. Yeah you have some older folks that come here but there’s nothing wrong with that. Everyone needs a drink regardless if you’re newly 21 or you’re 60 going on 90!
Clean and street facing. Close to Jack in the Box. Drop in and have a strong cheap drink!

Five stars are not frequent with me, and I’d say the ambiance might be a 3 or 4, but on Sunday morning, this is THE place for the best Bloody Mary in the Bay Area. Bartender Maggie makes it better than the 12 or 15 dollar marys I have had all over the world (like, lately, upscale hotels and restaurants Bay Area, Santa Barbara, and Seattle)… and it is (I think) $ 5. And I stay for the NFL game on Sunday. they have the NFL ticket, every game, every week. Sunday: if you like a 5 star Bloody Mary, go see Maggie. As early as 9 or late as 6pm.

Just had a afternoon drink at C&J’s. Met the owner he is a heck of a guy! Very personable and thankful to all the patrons. The bar staff is super friendly and love to chat. As a women at a bar I was not turned off by half dressed bartenders or totallly drunk people. This is a great palce to have a casul drink at the end of your day!

Good dive bar. Lots of regulars. Drinks are cheap and poured well. Good place to go for a very casual place to drink. You can usually see a good shit show or two from the regulars. They don’t serve any food, but there’s fast food next door.

I love C & J’s. I used to live right around the corner from this spot and the folks are always nice here. I love bartender April and Kevin. They are my favorites. They always do me well with drinks and provide me with great conversation and entertainment. Wednesday nights is college night and the rest of the week is always good times whether is it crowded or not. The restrooms are pretty clean and they also have karaōke here on certain nights. They also have a pool table and video top games.

Overall It’s alright. Good strong drinks but sometimes I can smell the bathroom from my seat. Yuck!
Also the bartenders at night are cool. But the country one during the day isn’t very friendly.
This place is a dime a dozen.

This is a total dive bar and I love it. Granted I had a better experience because my friends are regulars, but even if I hadn’t I’d probably still return. April, one of the bartenders, is a blast in a glass. She’s spunky and totally sweet. They had great beer specials when I was there: $ 2 PBRs and $ 4 Stellas. I can hang with that. There are tons of televisions that were playing Sharks highlights and Sportscenter which is pretty much all I really need. The bathroom wasn’t super clean but they had toilet paper, soap, and paper towels so I can’t really complain. They had karaōke going while we were there and it was slightly pathetic, but I assume that’s how karaōke usually is at bars. There was a girl there who thought she was the next American Idol and was hogging the mike. Several patrons’ ears were bleeding, including my own. The vibe was great and I had a good time, which is why I’ll definitely return here when I’m back in the area.
Minus one star for not having Patron and having to drink Jose Cuervo for my body shot.

My husband & I just moved to Santa Clara from Texas, and this is the first place we’ve felt really welcome since we crossed the state line.
The drinks are strong and reasonably priced, the bartenders are friendly and know what they’re doing, and the regulars are more than willing to talk to strangers. Even after the DJ started up and the college kids started pouring in, the vibe stayed friendly and low key. The crowd is really diverse, which makes for a lot of fun.
I keep seeing reviews saying it’s dirty, but it’s just a little run down. The ladies bathroom was surprisingly clean, although I can’t speak for the mens. If you need sparkling surfaces or table service, however, this isn’t the place for you!

I wish I could rate this place 0 stars.
My friend moved across the street and we decided to check this place out on a Thursday. The bartenders were taking shots to the point that they couldn’t function. We waited 20 minutes every time we wanted to order a drink. The bartenders were too busy taking shots of their own, talking to friends, dancing behind the bar, or letting girls motorboat their cleavage. The mixed drinks we ordered were watered down, the beer is well priced though.
When we were ready to leave it took us 30 minutes to be able to close out our tab. I’m surprised the bartender could even close it out, due to her intoxication. We of course left her a zero dollar tip, and as we left the bartender chased us out to verbally abuse us and call us ghetto for not tipping her. She was then joined by various other customers flipping us off and using racial slurs.
I would recommend this place for anyone that is looking for horrible service, watered down drinks, and the least friendly bar staff you could hope for. I will never be going back here.

Why is it that I get hit on by weird and/​or old guys? Why can’t I attract the right crowd?!
Came here to prep for the Tottenham Hotspurs and SJ Earthquakes soccer game. Oh yeah this place is divey, and since it was early in the day, we had the grandpas hanging out at the bar. Arturo, an old drunken regular, said I was a pretty lady and questioned why I didn’t wear a skirt or shorts. Who in the world asks that?! Then he would be blatantly rude and put down the lady bartender by calling her fat. Another regular asked me and my friend to excuse Arturo’s actions. That was funny.
Even though it was a dive bar, they didn’t pour it heavy. My friend also pointed out that his draft Coors Light was old. Ugh. Our three beers, three wells and a shot cost $ 31. Oh well. At least we were ready to roll for soccer!

I’m not sure how always seem to end up here, apparently it’s a favorite hangout of my pals in Santa Clara. That being said, they usually have some kind of live music, and the college crowd generally shows up in full force after midnight. Drinks pours are fairly generous, and prices are relatively inexpensive compared to those of the city.
I’ve always had a good time here, but beware of deceptively savage mixed shots they pour. They will taste good, but kick your ass.

The cool thing about this place was while seated at the bar I had committed a party foul and knocked over and spilled my only ¾ drank beer (hemp ale) all over. and the bartender refilled my glass… on the house. Nice.
The crowd?
So a cowboy, santa claus, and macbook geek are at a bar… and.
Sounds like the beginning of a joke but actually, that’s what I saw as soon as I walked right in. The macbook dude hooked up his laptop to play some poker on the projector while having a beer at the bar right next to some old guy with a big ol’ super white beard. The cowboy was the bartender with his 10 gallon hat. So that’s the type of random crowd you’ll find here.
