TJ's Tavern

Great service and the Bartender on New Years Eve was amazing!! Her device was good, drinks were great, and she even placed my jacket somewhere as she kept an eye on it while I danced downstairs. I think the security for downstairs needed to be put into place, the young adults pretty much was disrespectful to us as they danced and bumped us as we tried to dance together. Dress code should be enforced for any and all club events and they should reach out to me for inquiries about how and what I know about running a business of party Animals but yet maintaining crowd control and a very fun, comfortable, and safe atmosphere for everyone and every race. Contact me! I am your event manager and planner for a great new year and very very profitable along with great marketing tactics and sales experience to get us the best deals on all entertainment grips which factors into Bar, Club, Dance, Lounging, Pool tournaments, drink specials, Private after party for celebs location, birthday planing, wedding reception planning along with non profit organizations meeting location with catered food for their pleasures

I have been coming here for years, and it is always a VIBE!! Awesome bartenders (Drea & Sammy), respectful and attentive doormen, and an overall welcoming atmosphere! 💯

I am a regular patron of this bar, I know the owner and staff well. I'm seeing some reviews that sound like ABSOLUTE BS to me. I've never been treated badly by any staff members and have never once been served anything that had gone bad. The staff has zero reason to be rude to a customer unless the customer is rude first. Idk why people feel the need to come on this platform and leave a damaging review that is a flat out lie. Some people seriously need to grow up and tell the full story, you know, the part that tells what the customer said or did to receive a rude comment from the staff. Also, I've NEVER seen any member of staff who is on duty while intoxicated or otherwise impaired. Smdh.

Went here on a Sunday night with some friends, great service, chill atmosphere, good music, and the bartender was awesome! Another customer accidentally spilled my drink and the lady working replaced it no problem. What other bar offers doubles for only $2 more!? Definitely will be back again!

LOVE,LOVE LOVE TJ's. The owner is friendly and funny. Drinks are fairly priced and strong. I suggest coming to "The Get Down" with OG the DJ on the 3rd Saturday..always a good time.

They keep the drinks cheap still 5 bucks. No inflation increase. Beer in particular. Management please note. We are happy customers. Will return. Thanks for your service to our community. Vets and civilian people alike!! Been visiting here since 2005. Bar and customer friendly.!!!

New in town, this was my first bar I went to and I enjoyed it. Small town feel, definitely a locals bar. Mixed crowd which is always welcoming. Met some cool and nice people while playing pool and grabbing a drink. Drinks are priced fairly which is great 👍

I had the best time here! The owners are the best people! They came up and met me as I was playing pool! Great drinks! Great prices! Amazing environment! Seriously do yourself a favor come in have a few drinks, t doesn’t look to fancy at first but the crowd is the best! And again the owners are seriously amazing people

Its the oldest privately owned bar in Vacaville. The atomosphere is humble but lively. If you haven't been to TJs in the last year or two, check it out! A great place to share space with the young and old enough to know.....

Relaxing environment to enjoy a delicious ale on tap while playing darts with a friend. Friendly entertaining bartender also.

The original Vacaville dive bar. Always a good place to hang out or just stop in for a drink. The crowd is usually springin a good vibe and the staff is among the best anywhere. Come for the drinks, stay for the people!

Good neighborhood bar the only thing that would make it 5 stars would be some kind of bar snacks. Back in the day they used to serve like hot dogs and other simple foods.

Came in for a drink for my best friend's birthday on a Monday night and the bartender was rude and turned her back on me when I was trying to ask her a question. While we were sitting at a table she ran after a customer then yelled at him. She seems to be very uptight. It's really sad because we wanted to have a good time but the vibe was very weird and uncomfortable.

Got my drink spiked and I'm pretty sure it was the bartender. I look young and he kept asking for my Id so the last time he did I gave him attitude. It took him that much longer to give me my beer . Next day I've puked 20+ times. Fat Asian guy. Will have a lawsuit once my bloodwork comes back

Okay, so this bartender is giving you the cold shoulder because of something their friend misunderstood? Talk about guilt by association. It's like they think you're responsible for someone else's misinterpretation. And come on, you're being professional, it's not like you were trying to stir up drama. They should know better than to let their friend's opinions affect how they treat a customer. It's one thing to have your friend's back, but it's another to punish someone else for no reason. This bartender needs to realize that their actions have consequences too. A little understanding goes a long way, and honestly, right now, a sincere apology would be even better.

Went there with my wife and as I was there, it took them about 15 minutes to even give you a drink that you ordered not only that, but we came to visit from Boston didn’t know you’re not allowed to bring your own alcohol into the place, but pulled my unopened bottle Just to look through my purse because I was looking for my wallet and the owner TJ decided to grab my unopened bottle without talking to me without saying anything to me and proceeded to walk it out of the bar and throw it away and then lock me out of the bar Without saying a thing like I’m supposed to know this when I’m out of town and then proceeds to tell my wife very disrespectfully. I locked your friend out like he didn’t know that she was my wife when we already told him so therefore this place is a very LGBTQ not friendly place , it’s not very gender affirmative. It’s not a good place to go. It’s horrible the owner TJ yeah he sucks and he’s completely close minded in a bigot. Will definitely tell everybody in anybody how horrible he is and this place to never go there.

Eh, don't drink from the tap and you'll live, but the taps are gross and it's a cleanliness thing by this point. Also beware the crowd as a woman, high chance you'll get your drink spiked with the current crowd there.

Went in one Saturday afternoon about 2pm, the bartender was so drunk he could barely walk. I asked if they had white wine, he states they have box wine but "you don't want that, it's old" I said how old? I'm willing to try it. He brings me a glass, I take a sip and spit it out. It was likely the bag in the box was moldy it was definitely VERY old. I told him he should throw it out. He shrugged. My friend and I decided to go somewhere else, as I reached for the door the bartender yelled "eff off" but actually said the cuss word. I was shocked! We weren't rude and had no other interaction with him. His comment was unwarranted and out of line. I have enjoyed going here before but avoided it on weekend nights due to fights often breaking out. After this incident, I won't be back.
