What People Are Saying About Jay-Dee Cafe
The Editor

Inside the gray, windowless box with the jaunty neon sign, generations of Alhambrans have enjoyed cold American brews and companionship. The u-shaped bar serves two spacious rooms, one with booths and a retro lunch counter, the other featuring pool, electronic darts and several televisions. Sports are a draw, and the karaoke machine comes out regularly after dark. It's worth squinting at the historic photos of the venue shot during WWII, and the vintage liquor licenses behind the bar.

Best burgers around, 1/2 lb, lean and cooked your way. Saturday mourning breakfast is to die for. great steaks on Fiday night.

It's a great place to meet people. The age's very from 21-94 (not kidding). The bar has been going strong
for almost 65 years with the same family. They have Karaoke on Wednesday and Sunday nights. The
atmosphere is cozy. Nice Bartenders, great prices on drinks and food (Cheepest in town). If your a smoker,
or just like beeing outside, they have a great patio with a TV. If your a sports fan, there;s a big screen TV
plus two more TV'S inside, and they show all games. Fiday and Saturday nights are packed. Children are
welcome during dining hours. If your a pool shark, come in and challange Tony, he's 94 and will give you
a run for it (drinking too). The decore is full of vintage memorabielia, sports, food, music and bar history.
- Pros: lots of free parking. Friendly people, good service
- Cons: don't know of any, if you don't like crazy nights, come in during the day for a drink or coffee and enjoy the conversation

$2.25 beer!! Can't beat it!

Great little dive to meet up with friends and get a good price on a drink. Bartenders know how to hook you up when you need a stiff one. Only request would be for them to serve dinner more than 1 night a week.
- Pros: prices, relaxing & friendly place
- Cons: doesn't have late afternoon & evening food service

Local Dive Bar
by Jojo at Citysearch
Don't let the label of "dive bar" throw you off. It's a great place to get away from it all. Dark inside, quiet and a comfortable enviroment that makes you feel welcomed each time you set foot in the door. The bartenders know how to take care of their customers and don't forget the patio outside!
