There might as well be a sign on the door saying "No Coloreds On Weekends after 12" 😂
All seriousness though, I am no way an individual with a victim mentality. Full stop.
From the bikers outside literally begging for a problem - to the drunk patrons threatening with gunplay - to the plus-sized woman on stage staring relentlessly (although I sat almost directly in her line of sight and I know its difficult because I'm handsome) - to the loud drunk women shooting snark remarks behind their husbands - to the downright neglect of service from the bartenders except for ONE after about 6 minutes of shared glances while standing at the bar, I'll be frequenting a different bar.
The band was the only upside because I know what its like playing gigs. As well as the one bartender who eventually served us.
P.S - This was the first and only night going. Maybe I was seeing/hearing things. Maybe blowing things out of proportion. Maybe it was just the luck of the draw and people were having a bad day, who knows. Point is, first impressions matter most and I'm good for now.
If you are black and had a decent experience please feel free to share. I will revisit randomly during the day in attempt to give the place a...

If you're looking for a bar like Cheers, and you want everybody to know your name this is the place. It's a little Smokey local bar with regular customers on a regular basis. I tried the sliders they were delicious. I walked into the place and the eating areas were all dark, which was disconcerting. But, I stuck it out and I spoke to the server who seated me at the bar. I ordered sliders. Very good choice. They're were delicious. Allegedly, someone from Jersey makes the pizza pie after 6:00 p.m. and it's supposed to be really good. I wasn't there long enough to try. The beer prices are awesome. Plenty of parking. I also didn't stay late enough for them to set up the karaoke. I wouldn't call this a bar restaurant. It's a bar that serves some good food. Go there for the company and enjoy the food. I think it'll take a few trips before I feel...
Read moreI love Rj's! I've lived in North Fort Myers on and off for over 20 years and I've always loved coming to RJ's. The food is great and inexpensive, the drinks are inexpensive and never served weak. The staff for the most part are very attentive and do a great job. They have a couple of pool tables, karaoke every night except fri & sat when they have live music. The only drawback for some people is that the environment can get a little smokey, but that's old school, and that's the way a bar is supposed to be. This is one of the best "dive bars" around, and if you were just driving by, you'd never have any idea the food could be so amazing...way better than the average bar food. RJ's, along with Jersey's a couple of blocks away are 2 of the best run local businesses in all of Lee County, which is obvious from there tons of repeated,...
