Jabus is the quintessential neighborhood bar. There is nothing pretentious or flashy about this bar whatsoever. Jabus is divided into two separate levels. The upper level is wide open with a few booths and a few tall tables. The actual bar is located towards the rear of the room. All of the action takes place at the pool table / beer pong table when you first walk through the door.
At the bottom bar, the atmosphere is a bit more intimate. The lighting is a little darker and the horse shoe shape bar takes up most of the space. There are only three booths with the rest of the seating space located at the rail.
They serve some excellent food. In fact, their Mac n’ Cheese is outstanding. I’ve also had their burgers which are also above average. I’ll dedicate more content to their menu in future posts.
Jabus is one of the few bars in Seattle that is able to create a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere that is hard to pass up. The owners and bartenders are cool and they are some of the friendliest people in Seattle.
Jabus is located at the corner of Roy Street and 2nd Ave North in Seattle. You should go there sometime.
