  This place use to be a dump that I wouldn't send my bookie in.  Now i would take my best of friends.  Great customer service since they cleaned house.  Open late and thirsty for business.  Don't take your kids this is adult fun only.

  I live right around the corner. So in my ongoing effort not to be considered a "townie", I will visit J. Brians once in a while.
  I will say this: The bartenders are great and despite the fact that Im not in there every week, they always recognize me. The place is clean. The food is good. The atmosphere is friendly.
  Its not in the greatest area of town but its a diamond in the rough!
  Check it out, definitely worth the time.

  After running some errands in the area, I decided to hop off I-495 in South Lawrence and take a much needed lunch break at J. Brian's Pub & Grille, which is located next door to Hee Bin (that place looked closed).
  
  J. Brian's is a casual and clean open concept sports bar dominated with a big U-shaped bar area with a great view of 4 HDTVs on the wall. There are also a few high top and regular tables, as well as an area with a pool table and dart boards. There's also a Mass Lottery scratch ticket machine on premises and you can also play Keno too.
  
  I arrived here around lunchtime and the place was pretty busy with most of the seats around the bar occupied. The Bruins game was just getting started.  I did eventually find an empty seat at the bar. The bartender promptly took my drink order and started up a tab for me. I was given a food menu and some specials were posted on the board.
  
  The food offerings include the typical pub fare of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, pasta dishes, steak, chicken, and seafood. The bar has several beers on tap and fully stocked with a good variety of liquor. See the menu at <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jbrians.com%2Fmenu.htm&s=e4ce232f37d9028fa033856943a3fce94da3de411cf7c895484f95c0aa2e7c7c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.jbrians.com/m…</a>
  
  I ordered a special, which was a Pilgrim Panini ($7.95) with fries & pickle. This hot pressed sub sandwich was pretty good tasting which had carved roasted turkey, soft bread stuffing, and cranberries on a crusty sub roll. However, the seasoned hand cut fries were very crispy and overly salted for my liking. I should have asked for a different side since the other patrons sitting near me were getting salads or ziti with their entrees and salad.
  
  The food was pretty decent.and the service was friendly, prompt, and attentive. The bartender kept greeting me by first name and I was offered refills on the Diet Coke, which I definitely needed because of the salty fries. Also, the owner was making the rounds, checking up on his customers and carrying on conversations with the regular patrons (on a first name basis). Good times!
  
  (3.4 stars)
