Shitty, sketchy, dirty and awesome. Best bar in btown.

GREAT for drunken Karaoke, cheap drinks, and air hockey. LOUSY for everything else.

Do you ever get the feeling that you're not welcome in certain places. Well, JP's exudes this feeling. I walked in...silent stares. The bar tender couldn't be bothered to address us when we were clearly trying to order drinks. He just stared at us while cutting lemon wedges and handling his knife. The rest of the crowd was not much better - it was rough. The drinks (Miller Lites) weren't even that cheap. The only saving grace was the video quiz machine bolted into the bar. Needless to say we finished our beers quickly and never looked back.

This place is definitely a dive. That being said what red-blooded american doesn't enjoy a little divey goodness now and then? $5 mini-pitchers of PBR, pool and foosball tables as well as Big Buck. Can't go wrong! There's also karaoke on Saturday nights. Go here, get your drunk on, then head over to Red Sq. or Rira's. Though some others have said that the staff isn't super friendly I didn't find it to be the case at all. Quick and professional all around.

This bar is huge and super dive-y. However, if you are there with the right people and in the right state-of-mind, it can be a lot of time. When my friends and I came here a few weeks ago, the place was packed and the karaoke list was insane. This place is definitely a hit with the VT college kids.

hahahah this place has buck hunter.. and it has karaoke.... need I say more? the scene can get a little annoying.. like a college bar but not? it has the potential to be loads of fun

A mind-blowing collection of crazy (not in a good way) locals and people who want to prove how cool they are by hanging out with crazy locals. It smells bad as soon as you walk inside the bar. The decor is ugly, dirty, and gross. The drinks were not much less expensive than you could get at any of the other local places so there is really no reason to go to JP's other than to watch the trainwrecks roll by. All that said, it was a pretty fun night. But I'll never go back.
(1)Brian C.
Not that impressed. It is a dive bar and fits the bill pretty well, but that doesnt mean it gets more stars. 2 fights broke out while i was there, they have terrible kareoke going on in the back, and the drinks are fairly priced. Interesting crew in this place.

I am not understanding why everyone doesn't love this bar as much as I did, the one time I went. First of all Karoke. Amazing. Omg it was good, it was bad, it was ugly. It was the best combination of songs I've ever heard. I mean people were fearless, the dance floor was hysterical. I've never seen people get into it like they were here. Beers? Okay so I just drank heady toppers (I'm from out of town, don't judge me). But I got served quickly so I have no issues. The rest of the beer selection looked really good. The bathrooms are downstairs which was sketchy cause you know, drunk people and stairs. But other than that they were clean and reasonable. I'd 100% go back.

Only came here with friends for the Karaoke and it seemed ok. The doorman seemed cool and the ladies running the Karaoke were cool and inviting. I don't drink so my non alcoholic drinks were free since I was the driver. Bar lady seemed overly occupied though and the bathrooms are pretty rough, . I think the Zen Lounge - around the corner is a little better in all these aspects. Not a bad spot though.

| horrible experience| I wish I could write a charming review about drunken karaoke and crazy locals, however, that is quite the opposite of my experience. I'm from MN and went out with my friends who were all local. The doorman said my ID couldn't be accepted because it had tape on it (to help pull from my wallet). After I had the tape removed he said he wouldn't accept it. He refused to scan it (I'm 23). The lady outside also worked there and after a puff of her cigarette said that she wouldn't accept it either. All they needed to do was get the scanner. When we asked for it, they refused. Told us that we were bringing in a bad attitude. No swearing, or even voice raising occurred. The staff there were so rude and disrespectful. Will NEVER go back. Unless it is to file a complaint to the manager about the lack of experience the staff has with out-of-state ID's.

Really nice and welcoming staff! Great people all around! Karaoke, pool, buck hunter, foosball! Always a good crowd with a nice mix of people.. Locals, tourists, college kids, everyone's there!

Had a pretty terrible experience at this bar. My friends and I were having a great time doing karaoke, a lot of us came up from NYC to visit. First off, some of the people of Burlington need to relax, they have a serious issue with out of towners which is hilarious because most of your money is from tourism. You see people from NYC bitching when you crowd the streets? No, because it's not that serious. As for JPs we didn't have an issue with the bouncers or the bartenders like others have mentioned, they were all cordial. However there was one guy, who was either an employee or a friend of an employee who cornered one of my friends in the basement bathroom area and started harassing her to the point of her leaving the bar drunk in tears and none of us could find her for 20 mins. We ended up finding her sitting on a street corner alone crying her eyes out because this guy harassed her. I would've given this place 4-5 stars had this not happened. It's absolutely despicable to have an employee or friend of an employee harass a woman. Really disappointed and would not recommend this place to anyone for that reason alone.

I used to enjoy going to JPs. Now that I have friends from outside of Vermont, however, my relatively positive experiences have quickly vanished. Apparently JPs Bar prefers Vermonters only. As a Vermonter myself, it was embarrassing and humiliating not only for me but those I invited as well. The bouncer this evening, as well as his compadre and co-worker smoking cigarettes in my face, claimed that my friend's ID with illegitimate even though it is very real. He claimed he had "read all the books" but when we asked him to please get their scanner, he refused. He and his female coworker were completely rude, defensive, and uneducated. He was unwilling to get the scanner and unwilling to be proven wrong. I will not be returning. I will not recommend them to my friends. I will absolutely share this experience with anyone who mentions JPs in my presence. Thank you, in advance, for the future time and money my friends, family, and I do not choose to spend on you. Good luck in your future endeavors with what I hope will be better suited employees.

I loved it when I went. Karaoke! Yay! A good time. It's nice to go somewhere not packed with asshole college students.

The staff members in this bar act like they own the place. Talk about attitude. They'll kick you out for no reason- basically if you attract any attention and have a personality. Go to Zen or Manhattan's for karaoke. Boycott this place! Try Finnigan's or Franny O's, too- good dives with good pool tables. Those monkeys at J to the P really need to learn.
(1)Liz I.
Everyone keeps saying "dive bar" like that's a bad thing. I love JPs for a few reasons, 1) Karaoke - you either love it or hate it and haters can exit to the left. 2) Locals - most nights it's a really mixed crowd of regulars, random locals, and a handful of college students. The weekends have more students, but far fewer in JPs than in other bars, and as a townie, that's a huge plus. 3) Cheap cocktails served by really awesome bartenders. Bailey is the bee's knees and should be tipped accordingly. Dive bars are supposed to be gross and kinda weird. Only hipster "dive bars" are clean, pretty, and cool. JPs is everything I want in a local watering hole and I hope it never changes. Is it the best bar in the world, hell no. But that doesn't make it terrible.

What a dive! And don't get me wrong, I love a good dive bar. I practically lived at the Needs back when it was still on College and a little divier than it is now. But this place is a dive in a gross, "I am sorta drunk yet way too sober to be here" kinda way. The crowd ranged from wasted to almost comatose when I was there late one weeknight. Those really wasted people then started to sing karaoke and it was just painful. Also, carpet floors at a dive bar? Really?? That's just gross!

2 words. KARAOKE NIGHT. I love dive bars. I love karaoke. I love good beer. JP's has all 3 on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (you may want to call and check with them on the days in case they change). Apparently it's not so awesome on non-karaoke nights. I went on a Thursday, got a pint of Switchback ($4.25, $8 for a Pitcher), and signed up to sing Like a Prayer by Madonna. By the end of the night, I had made a few new friends, sung with the karaoke DJ (who was the best singer in the bar by far), discovered that Raspberry Hefeweizen tastes like crystal lite & JPs makes a mean Long Island Iced tea. They have 1 pool table, 2 foosball tables, and 1 of those game machines (i'm a fan of photo hunt). If you're looking for a dive bar, this is a good place to go.

Great white Russians...best I've ever had. The dude would certainly abide if he came to JPs. They did have karaoke but the talent was lacking...just busted chicks making sounds more like skinning a cat then actual songs. I have to point out the bathroom situation...absolutely gross. Coming from a guy, it says something. Lacks basic amenities such as toilet paper, soap, hand drier or towels, and doors on the stall. It would be more sanitary if you popped a squat in the wilderness. Given this, I would refuse to eat there. All in all I give JP a Okay on the Avioli scale...for Damn good white Russians.
