Great place for live music! The bands they book are almost always great. Â The talent booker does a great job. Â
Decent beer selection, though they could do with a bit more craft beers. Food is much better than one would expect from a live music venue. Â Steak sandwiches are very good as are the wings.
Just got home from there tonight from seeing FM,,,the steely dan cover band,,,,the band was awesome,,,the crowd not so much,,,i felt very weird there and it seemed very much like everyone knew each other. i felt somewhat uncomfortable and so did my bf. The band was amazing and i'll def go back for them but the crowd wasn't my scene but the bathroom was clean and the beer was cold,,,bonus
Review Source:Don't believe the negative reviews, most of them are dated. Â
I come here every couple months to see Half Step, an excellent Dead cover band. Â The crowd is exactly what I want and expect, an older crowd of Grateful Dead fans which I just happen to fall into that description too. Â
The service at the bar has always been good. Â A few times I have gotten a table and the service was good, refills came quickly and the bar food is very good. Â
Highly recommend the chicken wings, cooked perfectly with nice heat. Â The appetizer sampler is great every time I've ordered it; includes wings, potato skins, mozz sticks, chicken fingers and Philly cheese steak spring rolls which are rock stars!!
They seem to get a lot of the same bands but I assume it's due to the popularity of the bands as they know what draws the crowds. Â They almost always have two bands a night with an 8P and 10P start time. My experience has been that at 10P it's usually starting to fill up and by midnight the crowds thin out a little bit as the more die hard fans stick around for the 10P bands second set. Â
I'm a big fan of KJ Farrells and I'll see you at the next Half Step show!!
Had a great time at this dive bar that showcases some fun party bands. We showed up early thankfully and scored a table right in the middle of the place with an optimal view of my friends band, The Touch last Friday night. That was a goooood move cause this place gets busy from 9pm onward.
We ordered some appetizers and I had the steak tacos which were actually pretty good! But the cocktails were a bit weak until about 9pm so I'm guessing we arrived during "happy hour" where things are watered down? And the reason I know is because we were drinking Tequila on the rocks so it was very evident when the increase in alcohol level was noticeable. My friend had a margarita that he said was watered down as well.
As far as the crowd goes, it started off a bit meh...but later turned a bit hotter. And since I definitely wasn't drunk cause of the light drinks, I'm confident the selection of guys was better than I've seen in awhile. Not bad for an early Friday night out.
I'd go back...but as another reviewer mentioned, I'm guessing the crowd is decided by the band playing that night.
Been here a few different times. This was actually the scene of my last train wreck as a drinker. K.J. Farrell's patrons and staff had the thrill of witnessing me in all of my drunken glory. It was a decent bar to have my last hurrah in. I had a few people buy me drinks because it was my birthday, everyone in the place seemed friendly and my friends who came to the party looked out for me. My husband was also there too except at the time we just started seeing each other (I'm really surprised he even wanted to call me again after that night).
Since my last night as a drunk I've still come here a couple of times. There used to be karaoke on Wednesday nights with Barry which I enjoyed. Even though I can't sing to save my life he usually got me in for every song I wanted to sing.
It's not the cleanest most sparkling place in the world, but it's not the dirtiest either, it's alright. I trust them enough to drink some Shirley Temples here. I don't ever feel uncomfortable here, I don't ever get a sense that anyone sleazy is lurking about. Ultimately it's not a bad place to settle in and have some drinks with your friends.
Cool place to see live music; the sound in there is very, very good. Good selection of beers on tap and whatever food I've had there has been good as well. Â Tread lightly as to what bands you go see because the crowd can make or break the place. Â Last night I went to see a Grateful Dead-esque cover band and I've never seen so many inebriated 50 year olds in my entire life. Â I'm all for some AARP boozing, but not when they start groping each other like it's the sequel to Caligula. Â The kicker was the woman without hands (literally) smoking a cigarette inside the place and falling over everyone. The bouncers were quick to show her the exit, which is a point in the bar's favor.
Review Source:All I have to say is....I couldnt wait to get the hell out of this place! When I contemplated that I had spent $10 on worse things, I knew it was time to leave!
Crowd was from 40 - 70 years old...WTF! And crowded....is an understatement. I was looking for the Occupancy limit sign and could not find it. They were WELL OVER the limit. The bar service just down right SUCKED!
Do yourself a favor....Stay away from this place.....IT'S HORRIBLE!
This place is awesome!! They have the greatest rock bands every week with a large stage so you can see the band at every angle. They have a large bar with a friendly, attentive bar staff and a awesome manager name Kevin. Â The food is good as well. Â If you had never been here before try it out sometime. You won't be disappointed.
Review Source:I went to K.J. Farrell's on a Saturday to see a family friend's cover band, and had a good time. The demographic was, at least for that night, older than my own, and the fact that the bar is situated literally next door to a firehouse makes it an obvious watering hole for volunteers.
I kinda have to gripe about the layout of the bar. When you walk in, the bar takes up the entire wall on the right, then the center of the room is a dance floor fronting a small stage for live music, and the far left has benches and tables for seating. So basically if you want to sit somewhere, it has to be at the small seating area on the left, then push through the dance floor (which was crowded) to get to the bar, and then make the trek back. I don't know if they use the dance floor for seating when there aren't live acts, but I sure hope they do.
All in all though, I had a good time, and would probably go back.
