JBs Downtown

Played here solo acoustic a few years ago! Staff really took care of me! Thanks for supporting live music!

My wife & I went to a puff & paint event there. I really like what they've done with the place. They've brightened up the place with some remodeling.

My boyfriend and I attended the monthly game night last night (8/4/16). We ordered pizza as usual. The pizza is always good. But last night it was so amazing. The crust was perfect as was the cheese to sauce ratio. (I asked for medium light sauce. Ha) The staff is always pleasant as well. I gave a 4 star because it was so hot in there we couldn't stay as long as we would normally stay.

Had a wonderful time at JB's with friends. Enjoyed their trivia games. Pizza was ok, but I've had better. Our waitress left shortly after serving our pizza and apparently no one took her place because no one came to our table to offer more drinks or to present our bill.

I visited JB's Piano Bar for the first time on Friday 7/18/2014 and that will be my last time. Arrived to a band playing so loud you couldn’t hear people around you speak unless they shouted at you. Even at the very back of the bar, it was still a deafening volume. Between sets we spent our time by the bar conversing amongst ourselves and a few others in the vicinity. One of the bartenders refused to serve us and later found out she was the manager (maybe an owner?). During the set of the second band, we were asked to leave as we were sitting there enjoying the music. No details were given on why and had to ask multiple times for an explanation. The basic jest of it was the manager did not care for me and my friends and made up some customer complaints to give her enough of a reason to ask us to leave. I thought it was “classy” of her to not do anything about it at the moment but waited until it appeared we had stopped spending money. You can count on me sharing my dissatisfaction regarding the establishment, management and overall service to all that will listen or solicit my opinion. Based on previous feedback, I am not the only person who feels this way after a night of drinking here. There are plenty of other bars in Joplin that will be happy to take my money and entertain me and my friends. Bars in a small town change management/ownership very quickly and treating people so poorly is the quickest way to find a bar closed.

JBs is so fun. Good atmosphere and a huge space. I really appreciated the free taxi. Need for improvement: the door lady was unnecessarily rude to us twice last night. She could benefit from customer service training on how to greet and say good bye to people. The dance floor was WAY too slick. I was sliding around in boots and people in tennis shoes were falling left and right. For those girls who wear sky high heels they'd probably appreciate a rougher floor.

I forgot to close my tab out before i left. Called back to close it. They said it would be a certain amount and it was that night when i checked my account. But now when i just checked it they took more out! They are stealing from me! Ive gone here in the past many times and never had this happen. I will not be returning! I dont appriciate them stealing my money.

Great atmosphere and outstanding staff!! Cody is one of the best business owners in Joplin. The bar staff is outstanding especially M'riah!!
