CJ is the best bartender I've ever had! Â She knows what to make based off of what you like, and the two "surprise drinks" she has made me have been amazing! Â She is very on it...bringing water over before I even ask for it. Â She is happy, and efficient, and looks as though she enjoys her job. Â Live music is here I think every night. Â The times I have been here, the music has been great! Â This is a great neighborhood bar with pool and games and great music and service and fabulous selection of drinks! Â I'm not a regular bar-goer; but this one makes me want to keep coming back! Â Yikes...
Review Source:My favorite bar in Bend. Great bartenders and owner.  All sorts of people come into the M & J because of it's location and the fact that it's joined with a laundry mat.  Great pizza next door at Old Towne.  Free, live music every week.  Free pool on Sundays.  Great juke box. A couple really nice screens to watch a game.  The best collection of  tequila I've seen in Bend.  Definitely a regular's bar.  But what decent bar isn't? :)
Review Source:While visiting my Mom in both the dalles and bend (she lives both places due to having to move for work), she took me into several bars. Â All verrrrry divey. Â Not the cute kind of divey I am used to in SF or Portland but, middle of nowhere Oregon divey.
This place gets 4 stars because I wasn't scared shitless and the bartender was nice. There were some patrons under the age of 55 and the drinks were still cheap. They are next door to Old Towne Pizza which is why we were there and you can tell Old Towne to bring the pizza over when it is done.
I would go back for a beer if in this situation again.
I was doing laundry for the first time, since I moved- I cannot beleive I picked a place without a W/D!!?? What was I thinking- I guess that I could make friends while doing laundry...
So this place near my place (suds and sip?) is a laundromat with adjoining doors to M and J- it's pretty dang sweet- watch some futbol, grab a beer and wait for the dryer...
Interesting crowd...but cool. good service.
