Had a great time tonight. Nice atmosphere, fresh food, good music....plus the VIP area was Paint and Sip If you're looking for a place to unwind and relax....Check them out. ...
CJ's is the place to be. I love the music the ppl. I can dance freely I'm always safe. I been going there many years my place to be on weekends.
CJ's is the spot for an authentic blues experience in the Memphis area. It's a local club with a local clientele, but visitors are always made to feel very welcome. I've been there several times during my trips to the Memphis area and always had a blast. Part of the time they have live music and sometimes a DJ. Either way it will be a nice time. The live artists they feature are great, especially Big John Cummings, an underrated blues master! Fans of Wild Bill's will love this place. They've got cold beer and serve food as well. The wings are great! Last time I was in Memphis I rented a bike, and rode over the river on the Mississippi River Trail into Arkansas. I wasn't quite sure where the trail ended, but when I got to the end, I realized I was only a block or two from CJ's. I hadn't been there for a while, so I headed on over and found CJ out back. When he saw me on my bike, he told me that he's actually working to make his club a destination for cyclists. He's been working on a new patio in the back and is going to install a bike rack soon. Plus, he's starting to schedule live blues on Saturday afternoons just to attract cyclists!! This is the ideal West Memphis destination for cyclists to have a cold beer and listen to some music after a ride!! Highly recommended!
What a great place!! Very welcoming!! We met the owner CJ and he showed us around the bar and back patio too bad it was too cold out to enjoy being outside cause it looks wonderful out there!! Great music... wonderful vibe...it was nice to be with grown ppl and not worry about youngsters and drama!! Can't wait to come back it's on our list of must come again!! Thanks for a great time!! Cya soon!!
Great food, and priced reasonably. Full bar, ice cold beer, and the lemondrops are on point! DJ laying down all the hit tracks. Met the owner, he's a real nice guy who wanted to make sure we were enjoying our night! Very warm and inviting atmosphere and we beplayed a few games of pool! I give it 5 stars and we will definitely be back!
Great hole in the wall if you are 35 and over and looking for a super time out on the town. Dance till your knees make you take a break. Great time at CJ's! Blues & R&B for the mature crowd.
It's old school. The Blues will be played. Wednesdays is Karaoke night at CJ's! ...
Love it grown folks party. Enjoyed the band. Everyone one was so nice. First Time there I will be back. Thanks
