  Some would say this is a dive bar - and honestly, if it is, that's ok! I LOVE CJ's. It's got just about every aspect of a bar, without the typical jerks. There's pool, video gambling, darts, live music, karaoke, juke box, friendly faces & open atmosphere. You never feel like you're being crowded in CJ's. Great place to chill and hang with your friends. The owner is so friendly - will remember your face and welcome you when you come in. Family owned & friendly, I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for something away from the average bar that's too loud and crammed with people. It's a must!

  A typical bar--not a lot about which to write home, but has live music from interesting bands on occasion. The few tap beers were priced cheaply and the bottled-beer selection could use some better choices IMHO (but I have seen worse selections elsewhere). Has three "rooms" for drinking and a jukebox for music when bands are not playing.

  Freaky crowd, lots of heavy drinking, but that's OK with me. If you like great original music and a friendly environment, check this place out.

  Honestly for a dive bar this place ain't bad. Drinks are priced nicely and staff is awesome. Doesn't look like much but definitely decent spot for a drink and food is typical bar food and mediocre.

  Unpretentious. The staff was really nice.

  I've had a lot of fun at this bar in the past, but lately it has let me down.  The beer on tap tastes awful and ever since smoking has been banned inside bars in Illinois the place only smells of urine.  Every now and then there is a good showing of bands on a Saturday night but that is usually not enough to get me excited about going to CJ's.  It used to be the place to hang out a few years ago but now it is just the place I might end up if I've had one to many.

  SOME of the best times of my life have been had here. Too bad I can't remember any of them. ;P Except maybe remembering random details about someone and having her think i'm psychic when i happily accost her in the bathroom to tell her things about herself. That seems to be my sole actual MEMORY here hahahahahahahaha ...at least I'm PRETTY sure it happened there--aren't you glad I'm so good at reviewing things? oh hey it's the sincerity that counts ;P
