J's House of Music

"This is a club for the over 40 set, not a restaurant. There is a restaurant in the plaza, situated sort of above the club. While they do have $3 tacos on 'Karaoke Tuesdays', along with '3-for-1' shots of all liquor, they don't get the five stars because they don't have a food menu. They rely on the occasional food trucks and the aforementioned restaurant, though they do provide free food for certain events. And sometimes the crowd gets too big, slowing down service to the point where it's faster to just go up to the bar yourself. But their karaoke nights are some of the best in the city, and who can beat three-for-one drinks? Saturday nights are 'grown folks' nights, which means you can't wear tennis shoes or hoodies!?! It's supposed to be more formal, but that seems to apply more to people over 50 than under 40. Everything else seems to still be game though? Still, a good spot for those 30 and 40 somethings who like to mingle with the 50 and 60 somethings. You can even find some 70s and '80s on those grown folks Saturday nights! Live bands, comedy shows, call first before you go to make sure some event is not going on that you don't have a ticket to. Other than that, most events are free. If you used to go to the Signature Room, most of that crowd frequents J's now. It's 'old heads' recommended! "

"I visited the first time with my dance troupe (Petals of the Lotus) celebrating our debut! They had a live band that was phenomenal!!! and we actually got a chance to preform! It's a nice little place with a Southern Juke Joint feel! We enjoyed ourselves!"

"Hidden gem in the back of a strip. Good time with the grown and sexy crowd. Fun atmosphere, dj kept the jams playing, tacos hit the spot. Chrissy the bartender mixed up good drinks all night! Will definitely be back!"

"They have Taco Tuesday and Karaoke On the same night. Black owned and operated. Gives you vibes of a cool, old school jazz bar. Friendly staff, and great music. Older crowd."

"Best spot to cut a rug and have reasonably priced drinks for sure. Great music and atmosphere. Grown and sexy !!"

"Great jem hidden in the cut, great drinks, bartenders, and Dj"

"It was my 1st time visiting and the atmosphere wasn't my cup of tea. My drink and food were just ok. However it was packed people got up danced and the music was good. I personally would not go back but please go see for yourself."

"Best bartenders in STL shout out to LA, and Tootie! Their karaoke Tuesday is an absolute ball, and the taco's are everything!"
