Jerry's Bait Shop

I was skeptical when I first pulled up. On the outside it looks very JoCo/beige but when you step in the door the wonderful world of the dive bar I had heard about reveals itself. I really liked the low-key, casual, chill feel of the bar.

I was here for the $6 all-you-can-eat pizza buffet lunch so I can't vouch for the late night scene, but that's not to say I wouldn't go back to give it a shot. They have a great patio. Even going right after a large melting snow we reqally enjoyed eating out there. Beer specials were great, pizza was OK, but had a great crust. And come on, it is $6! I got a ton of pizza and a beer for $9. I would go back and look forward it.

There is limited seating so get their early, however the pizza was pretty fresh until the last hour or so. I would go back if I was in this neck of the woods again.

Very cool dive.

Came here on a Saturday night and paid the cheap $5 cover. Band was actually pretty decent playing some 80's classics but be fore warned it is LOUD!

Fun neighborhood type bar.

There are a few key points that keep my review from being higher than a 3 star mark for Jerry's.  

I love the drink choices, the live music, and the location.  They also have pretty good fries, tasty pizza, and spinach dip that's not half bad (even if the portion is small).

BUT, there is very limited seating, and more than a few times, my date and I have had to eat at the bar (standing) because tables were taken up by ONE person where there should be 4-5.  Service can be slow, because they don't staff heavily on their busy nights, and it's so hard to see or get through the crowd that the wait staff may or may not get to you when you need them.  

That being said, their hourly pizza special is fantastic on Thursdays.  ($7 for a pizza at 7:00, $8 for one at 8:00, etc.)  The pizza is almost greek in style, with a thin rolled crust, mild sauce and large toppings.  

This is a great place to go and see a live local band and get a drink.  It is NOT the best place to take a date if you actually want to talk to them.
