Japp's Since 1879

This place just had a really neat look. The bar area was long and it looked like they had a pretty big selection. There was also a long row of tables/booths that were comfy to sit in and talk to friends. However, there was only 1 stall in the restroom which could be bad at a busy time. I was there early in the evening but definitely would like to visit again at night!

I frequent Japp's fairly regularly and had a hard time deciding how to review it.

When Japp's first opened it was superb- great drinks and great service. However, with its growing popularity I feel that both have declined- mostly on the weekends. Friday's and Saturday's can be a nightmare and getting a drink can sometimes take a good 15 minutes. This past weekend I had a particularly bad experience with a friend and rude staff. It was my first really negative experience, but was bad enough to make me question returning. I definitely won't be visiting as often as I have in the past.

But Japp's is good for an after work cocktail during the week.

i wish i could give japp's 6 stars!  i love this place and come here every weekend.  good atmosphere, wonderful staff, delicious and creative cocktails, fun dancing... it is everything i want in a bar and more.
