This lively local bar has captured the hearts of many, offering a welcoming environment where everyone knows your name. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and engaging entertainment, R J's is more than just a bar—it's a community hub.
One of the standout features of R J's is its beloved karaoke nights held every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. As Tatiana Hanley fondly recalls, it's a place where good friends gather to sing their hearts out, all thanks to the fantastic bartenders and the spirited karaoke operator who adds a unique touch to the experience.

The atmosphere evokes the charm of a smoky dive bar with a neighborhood flair. Zachary Tatoczenko describes it as an ideal spot to unwind, drink beer, and enjoy live music on the weekends. With pool tables and friendly faces, it’s an entertaining blend of relaxation and good cheer. John W, affectionately known as Travelin.Johnny, humorously likens it to a contemporary version of Cheers, emphasizing the familiarity and community spirit that reigns here.
For those new to this charming establishment, Brooke Purcell’s experience encapsulates the dive bar essence perfectly: "a couple of pool tables, some music, a good beer and liquor selection, and down-to-earth bartenders," all of which define the R J's vibe. The dimly lit corners invite you to settle in, whether you're enjoying a Philly Cheesesteak as Jonathan Rapp did or simply soaking in the live tunes.
R J's Bar and Grill promises an enjoyable escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. With its eclectic mix of delicious food, lively karaoke, and a strong sense of community, it’s easy to see why patrons keep coming back for more. As newcomer Glynis Byrne experienced, the friendly and entertaining atmosphere makes for an unforgettable outing. Whether you're a local or just passing through, R J's beckons you to join the fun!

“ If you're looking for a bar that's like Cheers, and you want it to be fancy, this is not the place. If you're looking for a bar like Cheers, and you want everybody to know your name this is the place. It's a little Smokey local bar with regular customers on a regular basis. I tried the sliders they were delicious. I walked into the place and the eating areas were all dark, which was disconcerting. But, I stuck it out and I spoke to the server who seated me at the bar. I ordered sliders. Very good choice. They're were delicious. Allegedly, someone from Jersey makes the pizza pie after 6:00 p.m. and it's supposed to be really good. I wasn't there long enough to try. The beer prices are awesome. Plenty of parking. I also didn't stay late enough for them to set up the karaoke. I wouldn't call this a bar restaurant. It's a bar that serves some good food. Go there for the company and enjoy the food. I think it'll take a few trips before I feel like a regular. ”
