5 stars for roadhouse? Yep, totally sober writing this...nothing like sober while there! Jack's is worth the drive if you:
1. Like cold beer and BYOB.
2. Like live old style, hard ROCK music
3. Are a groupie for all-girl bands like Cover Girl (on FB!)
4. Want to watch a really diverse crowd dance their asses off - or do same to your own.
5. Don't have on a wife-beater. They have standards, folks. $7 T-shirts will make you one with the universe. Or at least, with Jack's.
6. Want to see bartender/bartendresses that kick ass and work a bar like nothing else.
7. Want to see how the other 1% parties.
I took my lady friend and La Princessa on a road trip recently to Jack's to watch said friend's daughter play with her cover band....and what a trip it was. Yeah, the place is rough, but I did not see a single fight, just a ton of fun and some personable peeps dancing like it was 1985. Yeah, the bathrooms will make you cringe, but nobody is judgin  you because they are too busy getting their drink and/or dance on. The beer is cold, the apps are decent enough for bar food, and you get an authentic Texas Roadhouse experience!
Jacks is one of those places you can walk into and drink a beer in peace. They've got an assortment of entertainment like Karaoke and Live Music. Your probably not going to make many friends walking in w/ your polo and pladd shorts, but if your into a good ole fashioned dive bar with some great people i.e. Floyd the owner (Shoutout to Floyd from Devin and Flywood) this is your spot. Beer is always cold and always cheap! The food is good bar food too, not some stuff pulled out of a bag, they actually slice and dice back there and put some Soul Gravy on it! Get out to the roadhouse and get your inner badass on!!! BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) just make sure and tip your waitress for the setups!
Review Source:Perfect mix of bikers and college kids!! Always has live music and mondays are usually dollar beer nights.
It is very small and can get very packed.. lots of smoke, but it's a bar!
Good place to hit up if you like live americana and cold beer! I also believe you can bring in your own liquor, just buy your mixers there!
I went to Jack's this past Wednesday for karaoke night and had a great time. They call it a "Roadhouse" which I guess is another word for "dive bar", but in the most flattering sense of the word. However, let me clarify. Jack's is not a hipster dive bar. You will not hear greasy-haired young men wearing their girlfriends' pants telling you about this place and how you've probably never heard of it because only people in the know really know about it. I can guarantee you that no one at Jack's has ever heard of Animal Collective, and nor do they care to. Jack's is a genuine Texas roadhouse. Being a Wednesday night, the crowd was small and there seemed to be a lot of regulars. The two gals working behind the bar were really friendly and stopped to talk with everyone sitting at the bar for a bit while still keeping up with people's drink orders. The atmosphere was as friendly as the bartenders, and by the end of the night everyone was joking with everyone else and pretty much just having a great time. Everyone who went up to sing karaoke was given a rousing round of applause afterwords, no matter how good or bad they might have been. People were smoking inside, but they have a lot of fans going and the ceilings are relatively high, so the air didn't seem that smoky. The decor inside kind of defies description, but let's just say that there were a whole bunch of bras and thongs glued to the ceiling above the bar and no explanation was offered as to why, though I didn't ask. I'll have to ask next time.
After one visit, this place has become my favorite bar in San Marcos. I will definitely be going back. I might even eventually muster up the courage to sing at karaoke night.
The first time I went to Jack's was this past year. I was sitting at the bar with a couple of my friends and starting shooting the shit with these old guys. We're laughing, giving each other all kinds of hell, and taking turns buying rounds of beer. The next thing I know the old guy walks back into the kitchen and comes back a few minutes later. Turns out one of the old boys was Jack.
That kinda sums up this place. It's the type of place where you can just go have a beer and meet good people. The food is cheap greasy bar food and the beer is cold. If you tilt your nose up to that you should stick to Chili's. One of the best parts is you can bring your own hard liquor and get setups for a couple dollars.
All in all this place is a great refuge for those of us who are sick of the impersonal service and crowds the square has to offer.
