User Reviews for MJ's

until this year this was a great leather bar that catered to the Silverlake crowd. Now with the new owner its just another cheap knock off of a trashy WEHO bar. This used to be the place to be. Great crowd, great bartenders, no attitude, great music, great pool players. Boy, those were the days. Now its a $7 cover just about everynight. Dont waste your time.

Pros: Great mexican food ACCROSS THE STREET

Cons: Original owner MJ moved away.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I wanted to post a review of my assessment of my experience with MJ's this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. Despite parking could be a challenge to those who arrive well after 10pm ( I arrived early Friday evening around 9:30), the employees and Chris (the owner) were very polite and accomodating. While I cannot dispute the previous posters experience, the staff including the bartenders and the dancers are very friendly and outgoing. The music was very good on Friday and Sunday however I was lost on Saturday which I suspect plays current music which I have no knowledge of since I don't listen to the radio. I did not feel the bar was trashy nor filled with attitude or fashinista's but it didn't matter to me, I had a great time.

Pros: Great attitude/ vibe and notable eye candy/ draws a great crowd

Cons: parking but not atypical for the location it seems

I've been here several times since it opened (due to the paucity of options in the neighborhood) and always have left disgruntled. I thought the new (2007) ownership might be an improvement but decided my most recent visit would be my last. I was charged $7 at the door, and after asking why was told I was paying for a Wednesday night "dancing boys" show that was supposed to start at 10. At 10:45 there was no sign of any show about to start and I was derided when I asked for my $7 back -- I mean Wednesday's a school night and the poster, when I stumbled across it, promised a 10 p.m. show. I was subject to this derision, mind you, after buying two beers from the stuck-on-himself bartender and standing around in a half-empty bar for 45 minutes waiting for a show to start. Frankly, this place is unprofessionally run and any "hot" cruising atmosphere is ruined by the always-in-attendance West Hollywood fashonistas who insist on bringing their female friends along for the ride. Wrong bar, wrong neighborhood, and trashy in the bad sense.

Pros: None

Cons: Parking issues, rude staff, overpriced

Editor's Review

Friendly Silver Lake gay bar is a welcome addition to the neighborhood's Levi's-and-leather circuit.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Look Good

Introduce yourself to the bartenders and they may pour more generously. On nights when they select the music, they might even play one of your CDs.
