It’s probably because of the time/day I went, but this place was DEAD! I think one of these reviews said that this bar targets younger kids… um…NO. By young do you mean 30’s-40’s? Because I only ever see a very small amount of 21 – 27 year olds here(2 for every 4 – 6 older people) They have a pool table you can use for 1 dollar per game, it gave me a giant splinter because the wood is breaking off so be careful when you reach down to grab your pool balls. Positives: the bartender was nice and their drinks are average price Note: if you don’t like country music or old 90’s/early 2000’s rap music, don’t come here, they only played country/generic radio songs… CASHONLY

Not sure what caught my eye first in this downtown Vacaville gem. Maybe it was the smell of the cigarette stained walls, or perhaps the ancient cash only sign crooked taped behind the bar… but I fell in love when my forearms stuck to the worn varnish plywood bar while the tattooed valley girl smacked her gum and looked on.

They have a foosball table, so that’s awesome. They should get a second foosball table and start foosball tournaments. That would be dope! Booze and foosball, Boozeball!

The only thing cool about this bar is the people. It’s real laid back and has a smoking room out back. Not to fond of the accomadations though. It feels real cheap inside like they are doing what they have to just to get by.

I’ll give them a 3 and that’s not a well earned 3. First off, I love the owner. Great guy. I wish he actually worked there because when I went there for pool league, the short female bartender almost got my foot up her ass. I was standing there for 10 minutes with cash in my hand and she not once even asked if I want a drink. And the bar had MAYBE10 people in it. Not even. The other group was already drunk. And on top of that, I found out one of the main bartenders was one of the drunk ones there and didn’t even bother telling her we are standing there. Needless to say, I had to yell at her just to get a damn drink. I don’t like that they are cash only. Their pool tables are the worst tables in vacaville. I know this because I play league and I play at all the bars. And their drinks are not the cheapest in town. Idk where u guys are going but like 6 bucks for a Malibu pineapple on a Wednesday night is ridiculous. Oh and the fact that they don’t offer free pool ever? Yeah that’s ridiculous. I refuse to pay for pool on a Monday or Sunday. Some of the staff is nice and has good customer service but that short one needs to be fired

This is your basic bar and pool hall. The bartender working Sunday night is super duper. He was nice and friendly and made us some great drinks.

What an absolute dump of a dive bar. I am usually a huge fan of dive bars. But THIS place is disgusting. From the dilapidated interior to the decrepit ‘patio’ right back to the rear door you have to enter from an alley to access this place, it is awful. As if that was not enough to turn a person off, the bartenders are about as bright as the lack of windows. I mean they were both not smart and not cheery. THEONLY thing I can say was a saving grace is they had Bacardi Torched Cherry flavored rum. It is the only place I have ever seen it before and since. But to avoid getting hepatitis, I will head to the BevMo to quench that craving.

So people were here is stained white shirts, pajama pants with panda bears, crazy cowboy hats and just over-all foolishness… not the place for me. I got some free drinks, but I couldn’t even enjoy them because the bartender was obsessed with loading them up with ice(I ordered a Jack and Coke b! tch, not a Ice and Coke with a splash of Jack! I take my Whiskey seriously!) and then she got mad when I told her! Anyway, this place is a dive and I’ve already got my fave dive spots in SF and Oakland, I don’t need to go to Vacaville to be bored… oh and I was totally over-dressed and these color-challenged female peeps(read: White) were having a lesbian-love affair with me, I’ve never been called beautiful soooooo many times in a 10-minute space. It felt nice, but creepy.

Located in downtown Vacaville, TJ’s is a great place to meet up with friends at the end of the night. If you just wanna hit a few balls of pool, this is your place. Targeted to the younger crowd, you can always find a few older gentlemen and woman from time to time. I believe there’s two pool tables, a dart board and a fooze ball table along with a juke(sp) box that plays just about any genre you can imagine. Upon entering there’s a smokers pit since there’s no smoking allowed inside. The drinks there a pretty expensive, so I suggest sticking the drafts. Great place to celebrate St Patricks day!

My boyfriend took me to TJ’s last night after his mother’s retirement party. We were both pretty tired and didn’t stay long, but I definitely got a good vibe from the bar. Pretty mellow. Reminded me of «my» bar up in Davis. Pool tables in the back. Dart(and I’m talking REAL darts) in the front. A foosball table. Pretty decent bar games, if you ask me. And the bartenders were nice and definitely on top of their game, I don’t think anyone waited more than about a minute for their drinks. There was a pretty decent number of beers on tap(I think I counted 6 or 7, but there might be more… or less) and a good selection of the hard stuff behind the bar. Wednesday and Thursday nights from 8 – 10 the happy hour special is ½ off drinks. All drinks. Any drinks. Awesome deal. And on Sundays you get a dollar off. Also pretty sweet. Next time we’re in VV I’m sure we’ll stop by again.

I finally got up the nerve to go out to a bar in my hometown on Christmas eve. Went with my wife, my brother, and his girlfriend. To my mind, TJ’s has been there forever. This was always the downtown biker bar when I was growing up, but this night it was filled with big bro dudes in black baseball hats, oversized shants, and bad facial hair. The place is weirdly humid and seems to be constructed haphazardly, including a stairway to nowhere. Luckily, I didn’t see anyone from High School, and a pitcher of Sierra Nevada and a pint of Newcastle came out to $ 13 bucks. I guess you can’t beat that.

I met TJ in a hotel bar in Medford, Oregon. I was on a road trip and he mentioned he owned a bar in Vacaville. I figured I’d look him up if I every traveled in and around the bay area. From what I hear this place has evolved from a older, established crowd to a younger Red Bull and Jäger shootin’ crowd with the regulars, of course… nothin’ wrong with a steady stream of fresh dollars now is there TJ!
