Best spot for a cheap happy hour.Garage bar style, no frills place. Always packed. Still manage quick service. Garage doors open in the front to the outside if its nice, and theres a patio out back, I think, too.They serve fresh popcorn for free and its salty and buttery...so, delicious.They have a touch screen machine that has Photo Hunt and many other games...and that is a really important thing for me at a bar with my friends, haha.We will miss J&P when we move!!!
I tried this place once and it was ok. Mediocre drinks that are pricey. However, after seeing their lack of being COVID considerate, Im never going back. They let customers stand around in close proximity without requiring or enforcing masks. So loud, disrespectful, rude and has no concern for slowing the spread. Also, tell your customers to stop blocking the walkway outside!!! There are other INNOCENT pedestrians who need to pass and do not need to suffer COVID because of you.
We went with a bunch of friends late last Saturday night. My only issue was the bartenders were extremely picky with what areas of the bar they served. I understand it was a packed Saturday night however, having worked in bars before, I get frustrated when bartenders do not evenly serve all areas of the bar. Took us 15 minutes just to get a drink. The venue itself is great and the music was solid. I will try again when it is less busy.

2021-05-03Judy and punch is the perfect bar for a low key night with friends. Their happy hour is the best on 30th ave ($5 for select beers, wines, and well drinks) and the bartenders are friendly.I love going here to start the night or just to have a few rounds with friends.

2020-10-18Awesome bar due to the staff. I can not believe I have waited this long for an honest review.Friendly and engaging staff that remembers your drink choice. A few common staples and a rotating beer selection with happy hour.This is what a bar should be!

2019-02-02Cool, intimate dive bar. Good prices, great music, amazing service. Ive gone here a couple of times and the bartenders, namely Colin, are so friendly and will serve us quickly and strike up a great conversation. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike. Bathrooms are surprisingly clean. Theres popcorn, too.
