Not worth dinging score but love tk see more exotic “kinda” stuff buits ALL NOW IS GOOD!! The rest…. 1: service= : like your ole fashion hood PUB”. Where you’re in a comfy drink spot .they treat u as such. It makes for Meah of old school & new gentrify types! It’s like everyone grew up there, which is not the case. Service has hand in that 2.—- Atmosphere — Combined with #1, fact owners by way of Father had Bar for 40yrs! And Father “Jack” was a Neighborhood “Uncle” to all. It has Sunnyside specifically “Skillman Park” Tradition mixed in. Along with the considerable FDNY component of members from the neighborhood over the last 6070 years. As well as all three of “jacks” sons being on the FDNY!! Last… Many people do not know, but Jack’s place was originally called _”OUTPOST” AND!!! It is actually a historic landmark due to the fact that it was an “outpost” in the years where people would ride through and they needed s Prior to JACK. The bar had it ups and downs. I lived right up the block and has an H as well nine-year-old I would pull pranks on the old guys in the bar by throwing smoke bombs in the back door. Lol Yes, not so funny. But man that bar is along with Skillman Park, the center of the Sunnyside Skillman Avenue universe!! Thank you, Brian (current owner) for keeping the fire burning (no pun) Coming home
I can't believe the experience I had here...walked in early, bartender Jen was amazing, informative, and fun. Food was incredible and spirits great, can't wait to come back with my dog and hang out in backyard and side. What a place....come here unless there is something wrong with you.
I absolutely love this place. The food is great. That drinks are great. The atmosphere is awesome. They have a dartboard and a jukebox. It’s definitely the place to go. They also haven’t out to our backyard and their street parking. If you wanna find cool bars, this is one of them. You also make tons of cool friends there.
Everyone here, from the staff to the patrons, were absolutely lovely and accommodating of my girlfriend and I during the AFC championship game. People went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had seats at the bar together. You can tell from the vibes that it's a neighborhood spot, populated almost entirely by locals. It's fun, lively and dive-y without being trashy or off-putting. Food was tasty, especially the chili. Chef is a real character (I mean that in the best way possible.) A real gem in the neighborhood.
This is a cute little place, just moved in to the area and wanted something fast and convenient and they were next door so ordered for pickup. The food did not disappoint at allll! The chicken wings and sweet potato fries were crispy to perfection. The fish was amazing too! Food was ready in about 20ish mins and was still hot when I picked up. The bartender was cool and quickly handed me my order.
Been here twice and plan on visiting again. The atmosphere is laid back. It is very dog friendly, as a matter of fact the first time my friend and I came here, we were celebrating Precious's birthday (my friend's doggie). The food is good. I had the cheeseburger and it was tasty. Just ask Precious, she enjoyed a piece or two of it. 😊 The second time I went I had the Shrimp Basket and it was 😋. It had the right amount of breading and they were plump and juicy. The selection of drafts is good and the drinks are good also. The prices here are very reasonable. They have a great outdoor seating area with picnic tables. Amy the bartender is very nice. I'm very glad that I decided to try this place. It might become one of my go to pubs. I also love the decor. Part of the bar is the front of a firetruck and there is other Fire Dept. decor. Updated 2/4/23: Came back here recently and I had a very pleasant time. The bartender, James, was very nice and so were the owners, who happened to be there the day I went. The menu has been revamped and the items on it look good. I got there for 2 P.M. Happy Hour and they have good deals. This is a great neighborhood bar. The vibe is comfortable for everyone. You can even feel comfortable bringing the kids and of course doggies are welcomed also. I plan to visit here more often. Looking forward to trying some of the new menu items.
Visited here today with a friend for the first time, and we immediately felt welcome. A great corner location, and as shown in other photos - it looks like a fire station from the outside. Outdoor seating (backyard patio and tables with umbrellas), and a very neighborhood feel, which made me feel very welcome - even though I'm not from the neighborhood. Our server's name was Karma - what a GREAT NAME - and she was SO WONDERFUL. A smile you could feel through the mask she was wearing, and overall pleasant and friendly. We ordered burgers (The Cheeseburger with Sweet Potato Fries and the Big Jack's Burger with French Fries). Burgers and fries were great overall, and for the price you pay, a true steal! Plenty of beer and drinks on tap for your drinking pleasure and an overall nice vibe. A must try in Sunnyside!
What a fantastic find. Great quirky Firehouse inspired place. Family owned and absolutely fantastic staff. The Irish potato skins are so interesting and very good. If you like Rubens they are a must try!! Little pricey but you are in the city so expected. Nice patio that is dog friendly. Soo bringing the pooch next time!!
We've passed Jack's a couple times and had a plan to go, the Groupon enticed us to go sooner and we're really glad we did. Fun atmosphere that I'm sure is packed every weekend for football games. The decor is really cool with Fire Dept. memorabilia and currently Holiday decorations. The waitresses were really nice, they had good prices and we were really impressed with the Thai mango (I think) wings and the Jack's burger was Awesome!! Hope you're ready for a lot of food though... we'll definitely be back
It was a fun place to visit in the neighborhood. Beer and burger outdoor in the sun cannot go wrong. Although the foods are too greasy in general even for me, it was still a good time with the friendly staff and nice companies. 3-star is a good balance for the outdoor summer experience and food quality.
Service and atmosphere is great but food was quite disappointing. They bought the wrong food out with avocado in my burger texture like carrots. Seems like the chef just does what he wants to do, not what the customer ordered. Drinks, yes but food, no (P.S. to owner, we didn't order a black bean burger nor did we post on Yelp as you mentioned. Seems like the point is being missed entirely).
