La Pura Vida

Visited this place after 2 years. Was so excited to order the chicken nachos, but found out it’s no longer a menu item. Broke my heart. Tried the empanadas though and they were good! This is a cool spot if u wanna get out the house but we went on a Saturday night and it just wasn’t as lively as it used to be. Hope they’re able to vamp it up.

Unethical business practices and a complete rip off. All customers are charges an 18% service fee. I paid this after spending 3 hours on my feet and ordering from the bar. Do not go to this whole in the wall. I spoke to the owner and he simply said everyone pays 18% and that is the system. Which means everyone is ripped off. Scam of a place

Had a fantastic time. The wait staff all had on masks and still kept a proper distance. The food was amazing. Kabob had the chicken kabob and it was ginormous pieces of chicken and they make their own citrus balsamic that is to die for. I definitely will go back there again there was a lot to do as the night got later theres pool tables dance floor look like they had live music at one time before covid. Didnt make it over the tiki bar but Id like to check it out next time. Looking forward to going back again.

Pros: Nice spot to unwind throughout the week and enjoy a game of pool or sharing hookah with friends. There arent many place within the area that offers this type of experience without going into the downtown Atlanta area.Cons:1) My sister discussed with the manager her expectations and requests for my birthday celebration. We arrive and it wasnt what she was told. Hightop Tables were pulled together at the age of the dance floor as if we were staged to attract others to come in.2) The chairs were extremely uncomfortable, unbalanced, and needed to be replaced. After pointing this out they were partially replaced and my guests replaced the rest.3) We were basically the money makers that night, ordering food, hookahs, and drinks. Initially, upon arrival, we asked why we werent in a booth as my sister had been told. We were told those sections were reserved for other parties coming in later. After 2 hours passed one of my guest asked about the section again as my party was growing bigger and the section would have been more appropriate for a celebration. The Bar Tender informed us that it was bottle service only, which we agreed to purchase, but he was only willing to place us in a 4 chair section, the smallest in the entire lounge. Again, we were the money makers for this establishment that night and not one soul was in the sections that they stated were bottle service only/VIP. The people he claimed in the beginning that were coming for those sections never appeared, unless they were ghosts.Atmosphere: There are 3 sections, Latin, pool hall, and hip hop. Pick your poison.Drinks: Drinks were ok. There were no specials so pre-game prior to arrival.Food: I had the empanadas. Opt for the chicken not the beef.Tips: Whatever you communicate with this establishment, get it in writing so that you can present it to whoever is on shift when you go.The customer service was mediocre and they werent accommodating for a celebratory event. If it wasnt for my friends and their great spirits through it all this night would have been a bust.

Sat nights its all about playing reggaeton music because there it no space to dance ,, people are stepping on your shoes .. i went to celebrate my birthday here and it was the worst night ever! ! They have no! Control on the entrance. While they should. With no space to dance , hot atmosphere. It just awfull i do not recommended to go to this place on saturdays!!!!! TOO MANY PEOPLE. Fui tratata como si estuviera en un coral de vacas ! Muchas personas los sábados , no tienen control en la entrada cuando deverian!!

I have given this place a good rating in the past, because I had great service with Graham. Tonight was another story. I ran a $200 tab, for just myself.. and the bartender, knowing that I worked in the service industry, put gratuity on my tab. Not only does that tell me they don’t give af about their customers, it’s also is not standard practice. Gratuity is for parties of 6+. Not a single person. To be perfectly honest, she would have gotten a way bigger tip had she not done that. I still tipped on top, because it’s not like me to leave $0.. but I will be contacting the establishment tomorrow.. I expect a refund for the gratuity and will update with their response.

Ordered additional lamb, lean meat. Ended up with fat and no extra meat. Currently trying to get a full refund. Where can I post some pics of the trash I got?? Oh found it! You tellMe if this looks like $4 worth of extra lamb?

The atmosphere is very relaxing. There is always a good mix of music. The lounge is very spacious. The servers were very attentive. I order the perfected cheese pizza during every visit. The pizza is consistently tasty. They make it fresh too. This is a great place to hang out alone or with a group.

Enjoy myself every time, friendly environment, quick service, high if not beer, lights lit in right areas, not fights problems, dont be late parking lot gets full

Charged a cover when there were 10 people in the bar at 11:30 on a Friday. Vibes were horrible. Do not recommend.

The empanadas are like a bag of lays chips 90% air. Service wasn’t too bad we were only people here.

Best chicken and steak tacos for your buck, huge venue so plenty of space

I ordered about 5 Tito’s and lemonade and then caught the bartender putting three olives vodka instead .that’ll be my last time there

Food is great. Drinks are great. Bartender Gram was awesome. Hookah was just right. I recommend the pizza and blue lemon drop shots..

I used to love coming here, it was fun and we had several friends on staff. They never charged to get in before a certain time.. now they do. I dont mind paying, everyone needs to eat. These last few times weve been back, the service was terrible. Getting service from the bar was like pulling teeth( miserable) I ordered a pepperoni pizza on a flatbread...we got a regular pizza covered with pineapple and pepperoni. I was too tired to even begin to argue with people. At least our drinks were made well. No complaints about that. I smoked my hookah, which was pretty good. This place was so packed you couldnt even move. It was so unbearably hot, I lost my urge to dance. It was NEVER like this before, Im glad they are growing but the quality of service has definitely diminished. I ALWAYS tip well for fantastic service, this staff only got the tip I gave them because they charge gratuity automatically. I left nothing extra because they didnt deserve it. I paid and left. Not too excited on returning. By the way ... parking here after 11pm, is a nightmare. Virtually impossible..glad we got here early. Perhaps its time to find a new hangout. Shame.

Rude owner. Do not support this business. I left an unfavorable review because of the way he picks and chooses to charge customers. He decided to charge me $10 at 930p with no customers, saying he started charging at 920p. I asked him and he stated he had employees to pay. Well at 1015pm, it was only 5 customers. I left a fb and IG review he didnt like. So after he consumed his drinks, he felt bold enough to put me out of the place. Oh yeah, he said you can leave and have my $10 back.I thank you but be able to receive criticism. You cant wear your heart on your sleeve or treat your customers right.So many things go on at this place but I along with many other wont be returning. You lost great customers Mr. Sensitive.

This was my very 1st visit and I must say it was a very nice chill spot. The drinks, food, service and atmosphere was all great. I would recommend this place and I will come again.

Nice and small place to hang out. For what ever reason this place was not to busy. I wish it had more traffic. Really nice place

It was ok. The vibe was cool at the pool tables. It cost $20 to get in and even the small drinks are expensive. Felt like I was in downtown for those prices! Also, there is Latin music in the front and rap to the left side but mixes in the middle because they both are too loud.

This place is a very cool spot to listen to music, dance and play pool. I like that they have different sections and multiple bars BUT they dont utilize all the bar areas like they should. Also, the drinks are too expensive even for standard brand name liquor. You can end spending $100 or more if you are not careful buying drinks back to back. Each time Ive gone which isnt often, the staff has been extremely cool. Issa vibe but know you are going to be spending money on drinks.

Went to this place last Friday night! They were charging a $10 cover with like 20 combined on both sides. I ordered 2 mixed drinks (Tito’s/pineapple 2X). I don’t mind paying for a pricey drink but it came in a little plastic cup and it wasn’t even full. Definitely wasn’t worth almost $30 for 2 drinks and that’s not including the added gratuity (which I’m not mad at and understand why they have a gratuity added). The final thing that did it for me was the little roach crawling behind the bar.

My drink was awful & I wanted to exchange it but we were told that it would be a charge. Once the check came, it came with gratuity for 2 people. We made due with the food. 2 of our empanadas came with no filling. The Ac is broken so we sat on the patio bc its cooler out than in. Water bugs were crawling on the rail and table. With the situation with the awful drink and it being my birthday, we just cut our losses and left. 1st and last time visiting.

They even charge for coal change. They have automatic gratuity on all drinks. I understand but coal change should be free I paid 50 dollars for shisha

I’ve visited this spot quite a few times. It’s very crowded especially in the weekends. Parking is always a challenge and requires some patience.This last time is the last time I go there. Me and my gf got some seats at the bar after noticing nobody was sitting there for over 15 minutes. After we sat there some people who we had never seen in that area came up and became hostile saying we took their seats. One of the girls became hostile cursing at my gf and trying to escalate the situation. They went and told the security guard we took their seats. We did not. The security guard obviously had a bias against us and decided to make us leave. I’ve never been kicked out of a bar… So I guess that’s the way things are here. Not a very classy place to be. I’ll make sure my previous recommendations of this place are redacted in the future.

Big and nice place several rooms for every type of music. Pizza was the best 👏 Will come back again

There was a broken stool at the bar that actually fell breaking a hookah and spilling our drinks. Bar stated they were going to take care of it then charged full price for everything plus gratuity. There is a cover charge after 9PM. You can get in free if you show your Instagram account. I do not advise drinking or eating here due to the automatic gratuity. I have been to this establishment twice. The gratuity send your tab sky high.Pay attention to your tab and read your receipt because the bartenders mix up people’s cards, ids and receipts.Positive is the food is good and it is fun. The hookah was good. Great place for Latin dancing.

Warm environment, good food, drinks ect. Perfect place to bring the parents and relax. And walking distance from the house. All around 5 stars.

First, I hardly ever write reviews. However, this was the first time I’ve been to this place even though it’s literally 1/4 mile away from my residence. They need to promote this place better because it really is a cool place. It has a number of different bars and rooms with different music themes. Options for VIP like couches, tables, bottles ect. Drinks are moderately priced and food is on point. Certain shots are rather expensive but typical for the area. The staff that serviced me was good. They smiled, friendly, and had meaningful conversation. Pretty girls seem to be the theme there. I had a short little Latino girl wearing a hat. She was my favorite in all aspects. I’ll def be back to visit her. I’m big on area and safety and luckily this place has a police officer on guard during the peak times which I love.

Good place for a well rounded night out. Great drink selection & the menu has a nice variety. The bartenders I saw & spoke with are friendly & ready to serve. Decent sized dance floor & tvs, generous amount of seats, a VIP area & an outdoor section. I enjoyed my visit & recommend you try it out. Wasnt packed when I was there around 10:00p.m., I believe it was a Friday. Four stars for the one impatient employee who must have forgot customer service is #1 at work.

Being as I grew up in the Island, I really feel at home here. I love the music. They have a latin side with an Island feel, and also have a hip-hop side that also has an island feel. For the busy nights the have additional security looking out for you. You definitely can feel safe here, which is definitely important to women and older people and those who just want to chill and relax. If you like to dance you are absolutely covered. They also have a fee pool tables for the gamers. But we sometimes have jukebox battles, who is the better DJ, on both sides before a DJ arrives on the weekend, but dont worry if you are not the DJ type because the music keeps flowing even when the jukebox isnt playing. As far as service, they work as a team, so if you like to bounce between sides and bars, it is okay. You dont have to worry about transferring a tab between bars or shifts. There whole business plan is team related. So if you spent $30 with someone and only $5 with someone else then closed, the tip is automatically going to be fair with their system. This is why it is not only fair but convenient for the customer. We can just enjoy our time. As far as food I personally do not come for that because this is my relax spot, but the food is good and they do have many options include a real brick fired oven which I do take advantage of. But taco are very close to authentic to satisfy everyone. This is the place you that you come to relax, but I can not lie I have come here for the taco happy hour during the week and they have a Sunday special on wings. I am not a big football but it is a football night thing. I just watch the Army Navy game. I could go on about good things but to sum it up, it is a chill spot that when I can afford I go to. During food specials it is a value but over priced otherwise which I pay because the atmosphere is so relaxing, safe, and fun.

The music was cool as well as the vibe, but the prices are ridiculous. I had a shot of crown (in a plastic cup), a Modelo bottle, and an order of wings. My bill was $55 and with the 18% added gratuity came to around $64. This aint LA, NY, or Vegas. So yeah, alright I guess, but the prices turned me all the way off. And Im not cheap.

Amazing! Super friendly staff. Strong drinks . Great prices. Its my first time out in Georgia. I feel so welcome and blessed to be here. I love it ! Strongly recommend for newcomers. Also great music! I will surely make it my home bar.

Excellent lounge, great place to hang out with friends. Really chill lounge the, the DJ always keeps the atmosphere going, great music, lots of divert cultures. The employees are so friendly and they gained not just your business but also your friendship, the moment that I walk in everyone knows me and welcomes me by my name. The owner is beyond customer friendly his clients come first no matter what. I highly recommend this please. My fav on the Marietta area.

What a place! Its huge and well kept, the prices were good, the food menu was interesting and flexible, there are pool tables, indoor bars, outdoor bars, and themed rooms so it feels like you are on a pub crawl as you walk through the building. No problems finding parking and our bartenders were hilarious and quick with our orders. Well go back soon for sure.

Not a terribly bad experience... Wings were on the small side if you like them that size as I do not like mine GINORMOUS!! 😁 Not a whole lot of premium liquor. However they do have a decent beer selection. Dj could be better but wasnt the worst. Over just a laid back spot.

Love this place!!!! I love everything about it food isnt that great for the price though Im j/s. If your not there for happy hour they dont sell tacos individually you have to get three of them for $13 #IRefuse. But other than that no problems here Graham the bartender is AWESOME and has great conversation every time...

Ive been a regular here for a while now. J is always personable and accommodating. I know each bartender by name. I dont know which bartender is better Christina or Graham! The drinks are always on point and the service is even better! Quick and accommodating! The DJ isnt always how I like it but the crowd is mixed which I appreciate greatly, also there is a touch tunes which speaks to how J is always improving the place to accommodate everyone! The outside bar & patio is one of a kind! Its a neighborhood gem you must experience for yourself!

I will never come here again. I wish I could give no stars cause it does not deserve a one star. Paid $28 for a pitcher of margarita and tasted straight up like the juice. Ask them make a new one or give a refund. The black bold head security guard and some Hispanic guy the claim is the owner said that they was not give a refund unless the whole party leave and they was not making another drank. I would never spend a dime or return here. I will also be making a review with the better bureau

This place is pretty cool and its huge..Seems like three different restaurants all wrapped in one. The food is all right Ive ordered chicken fingers and chicken kabobs and they were great. The last time I ordered pizza and it was not the best. The drinks are pretty good but seems to be unnecessarily expensive.

They pre-tip on cards and they dont have any cheap beers. Its $5+ for everything it seems on a Friday which may not be bad if youre use to that. The Latin DJ is great. The hip-hop DJ should stick to hits but all in all, if you live close and theres no cover, definitely stop by and check it out. I wouldnt pay to get in though.

Got an extra meaty pizza. Legitimately one of the best pizzas I have ever had. Fantastic food. Service was pretty slow, even though it wasnt very busy. When it did come, the service was friendly and responsive. Fun atmosphere and the music was inviting. Great place overall.

Definitely coming back food is really good had the wings and pizza and everything was great and cooked to perfection and food came out fast also customer service was excellent great experience in my opinion .

I spent my birthday weekend in GA with my sister and her family. We talked about going to several places, and since neither of us like HUGE crowds, we decided to try this place first. I have not had that much fun in a while!! It was a mixed crowed of young, old, and various races/ethnicities. They have a live Dj and dance floor. They have a private lounge area..pool table and games in the back. Drinks are good, average pricing. I love that they offer hookah too. I HAD A BLAST and I plan on revisiting on my next trip.

Love the atmosphere, love outside bar seating, wasnt too crazy about the beers on tap. Also appreciated the hookah options, although its not my thing personally, not to mention the billiards tables.Cant wait for the outside tiki bar to open up, I foresee my friends and I spending a lot of time here.

Went for the first time the Sunday before Memorial Day. I had a ball. Light crowd at first but the place is so laid back and friendly it didnt matter. They have pool tables, like 5 bars with friendly, attentive bar staff. You can smoke (Cigars and cigarettes) inside.As the night wore on the crowd grew. Cheap drinks, good hookah, a good, loud mixture of music. I would go any day of the week! Plus they dont close until 3am everyday except sunday which is a bonus.

Js Lounge is such a great spot! You can easily accomplish all that you may need in fun a night out or simply grabbing a drink after work. Awesome drink selection - especially during happy hour times. Newly renovated, so they have a great, new and comfortable atmosphere. Definitely missing out if you havent stopped in at Js Lounge.

Love the diverse crowd each and every day. Chicken kabob is tasty & filling. Jalapeño margaritas are AMAZING! The owners are super friendly & the bartenders are great! Youre really missing out if you havent been here!

I went there for the first time. Sat at the bar while I waited for friends, staff was nice. But in less then 15 I saw two roaches crawling on the bar. One on the counter and a bigger one on a bottle. I’m from NY and even there I never saw this kinda of uncleanliness. I was planning to stay longer and even try the food but after that I couldn’t get out faster. I realize bartender and waiters are not responsible. It’s up to management. So please take if of it.

Nice set up, great music, decent drinks, diverse crowd. Overall, i had a good experience here. However, the drinks were a little pricey and small. Honestly, the atmosphere was nicer than what Ive come to expect for a cobb county bar though. This may have made up for the price discrepancy.

Turns into a club after a certain time. Had a security guard taking temps at the door, but he was nowhere near consistent. No one is practicing social distancing inside or outside. My friend had hair in her drink, mine was full of ice although I ordered a shot chilled. Pizza wasnt done in the middle, but the crust was burned. They added an 18% gratuity amt on my tab. I crossed it out, initialed it and paid the tip (a lesser amt) in cash; they still charged my card the full amt anyway. Ive been to better holes in the wall and will NOT be giving these folks any more of my coins. Id rather go to Docs down the street.

First of all having to pay any type of cover for local bar seems ridiculous in my opinion, but as I went there on a Saturday expecting a good time I paid the $10 since Ive never been there before. As I go in I can pretty much count the entire patronage of the club with two hands... One side is this glitzy Latin side the middle is like a pool hall and the other room in the back it was less than appealing. The back room was the reggae and Hip-Hop room while the front room was the Latin music side. The drinks were marginal and the staff seemed very uninterested. The place never filled up and both DJs need to be taught how to spin... Because they couldnt mix music even if you gave them a blender. Its a dive bar that the owners could only afford to upgrade half of it and make it super pretentious because if you want to sit anywhere you have to be over $100 per table... Are you kidding me?UPDATE....Im here tonight. Its a Saturday night....Why is this place dead? Maybe 30-40 people here. Same as the last time i came....their promotions team is lacking big time. I used to promote big time venues in N.Y. like Palladium, limelight, the tunnel....who ever is promoting this place needs to get fired.

Love this place! The mixed vibe (salsa, bachata, Rancheria, R&B and Hip-Hop) is entertaining, in and of itself. Add to that the pleasant bartenders, prompt service, and reasonably, well-behaved crowd and youve got a great place to chill on a Friday or Saturday night.

This bar/lounge is absolutely amazing! Great food, drinks and awesome atmosphere. They have outdoor bars and seating...….On weekends two DJs-latino and hip hop. Its great that when you are done dancing you can go and enjoy the outdoor seating and chat with friends. The staff is awesome. Love the hookah. My favorite thing on the menu is their pizza which they make from scratch. It is definitely a hidden gem in Smyrna/ Marietta area. Must visit!!!!!!!

I had not been there in over 2 years because my first visit was absolutely terrible. However, they have since remodeled, they have a completely new staf, and the environment feels so much more inviting. I had a great time and will definetly be back. From a 1 to a 4 star, great job. Keep it up!

Great place, and an amazing atmosphere! Dj is always good! Im from California and Ive been twice on my visits to Atlanta!! The owner is always super nice and interacts with all the customers! I would recommend this place for anyone who wants good food, drinks and listen to a great mix of music !!!

Great place with an awesome vibe ! Food we had was awesome. Staff was all on point and I enjoyed watching them work hard. Plenty of pool tables and dancing space. Vip lounges are super cool. Music was good, TVs, indoor outdoor seating all tucked away off the beating path in Smyrna .....what more can you ask for ? Surely my new spot

Ive been going to La Pura Vida for over 4 years. The bartenders are always smiling and attentive to their patrons! Drinks and food are very good. Great variety in food from fresh tacos, salads, brick oven pizza wings etc.Come check out the Happy Hour, Mon-Sat between 4-8pm, where you can get house drinks, wine and beer for almost half off! They also have Hookah! Fri and Sat at 10pm, they have a DJ in two different rooms (Latin music and RnB Hip Hop)Sundays are cool and chill after 4pm. Its my goto spot, I just play a few jams on the Touchtunes jukebox, chill and sip on my drink. A hidden gem!

Came for a random night out. This place is open later than other spot which is nice but parking is a pain. We didnt go in because theyre cash only and no one had cash. I might try it again if im on this side of town and have cash.Note: They have an ATM but the fee is ridiculous.

COOL PLACE ON THE WEEKEND BUT TURN THE DAM MUSIC DOWN , YALL ACT LIKE BEANERS CANT HEAR 👂 , ALMOST BUSTED MY EARDRUMS HOW CAN I BUILD A HOUSE IF I CANT HEAR THE MEASUREMENTS BEING CALLED OUT TO ME ? VIVA LA RAZA WEY!!!!

I literally just arrived in Smyrna tonight and it was my friends first and last day here, since she accompanied me on a trip from Minnesota. I wanted to find something fun to do before she left in the morning and I googled hookah lounges. From the outside, we noticed the bar and the lights, and we knew right away that this place was cool. We stepped in and was greeted quickly. The experience was fun and I plan on going back since I lived down the road. Im excited to see what Js is all about. Overall, I think its a nice spot and alternative to traveling to Atlanta when you want something to do. Get to know me, I plan on being a regular!-Cedric

This place has like 3 bars, hookah, pool tables, patio with bar, and food. Staff was ok not rude but they did the absolute bare minimum. Food was ok but the portions are very small for the price. The chicken wings were microscopic. Bartender did a very nice job with my drink. Their ice tub didnt have a cover on it so I definitely didnt get any ice. The bartender also had the bottle opener in his sweat band on his arm, so I didnt get a beer either.

Ive always thought this place was a desert everytime I passed it but was really surprised when I went for the first time this past weekend. The hookah was great, although I must admit, I was taken aback when I saw a huge ciroc bottle being used but hey, if it works, it works! The crowd was a mix of all races and ages which I really appreciate. Our bartender was a nice well-dressed bearded gentleman and he really took good care of us. The music was good too. The place wasnt crazy crowded which I liked. Again overall, I had a really fun time! The only con, I would say, would be the chicken wings were really small 😕. The quesadillas were good though.

I like the atmosphere and the beef empanada’s are good , however the service is not the best. My friend and I have been at this establishment about three times the first time the ladies were trying to get us to go down to the Tik Tok bar, they said we would prefer it. Not sure why but thought that was odd since we hadn’t even sat down yet. This time around the two ladies behind the bar made sure they did not tend to us , we had to wait for the gentlemen who was busy and had to leave the bar a lot, very nice guy though, not to mention Saturday night was not busy , they had time to stand around , dance behind the bar even. Every time we come we tip , on top of the gratuity that’s always added, and we are never rude , good service and a nice environment is hard to find, we won’t be back.

Not a great place, first of all paying 10-20 for a local place with no type of party environment is a no for me. Second of all the music isn’t that great l, third they do bad business with the DJ’s and promoters. I can name many places that have no cover with better ambience as well as nightlife experience.I’m good Luv, enjoy.

On the dance floor, the music is so loud that you can hear the distortion piercing the ears. The speakers cannot handle that level of noise; it needs to be either replaced or turned down.Multiple drinks were spilled, yet nobody cleaned it up. There was even broken glass at one point.Restroom attendants are personally very strange to me. They expect me to pay them to put soap in my hands and rip paper towels?... Okay...

Nice energyCool spot to chill and have a drinkHowever, I came here to smoke hookah and this is the WORST hookah spot I’ve ever been to. I’ve easily been to 30 different places and this is the worst.You can tell, someone that doesn’t smoke is the one that makes the hookahs in the back. They burn, lose flavor in 15 minutes, and hit very weak.Go somewhere else to smoke.I’ve given this place a shot three times and it was the same.

It took our server 3 tries to get food and drink orders down and actually put in the order. I applaud the effort for trying to memorize everything but at some point if youre not sure you should just write it down and get it right the first time. Also would be helpful to have a beer list either memorized or written down somewhere for customers to choose from; our server didnt seem to know what beers were actually available.Food was decent. Chicken kebob was tasty and amply portioned though not the highest quality cuts of meat. Greek salad was ok but rather plain.The atmosphere was interesting. They played loud club music with bright lights even though the place was pretty much dead on a Saturday night. Not quite the chill vibe I was expecting based on other reviews but still had a decent time.

Great great customer service, after a long trip from California I finally felt welcomed, thanks to the guys that where very nice.

This establishment will keep your change if there are any coins left over because they dont have any loose coins to give the consumer their proper change. They will not explain or apologize for not being to give you the proper change. They will just lay the bills (singles, fives, tens, etc.) on the counter and walk away. No thank you, no questions asked if you would need anything else, or explanation. This establishment has a 18 % tip charge that is automatic to the bill and the drinks arent worth it do not go here. They have unethical business practices.

Most definitely wont be returning. The drinks were like soda water only and not worth the $. Staff was rude and drinking more then everyone else. They were smoking cigarettes behind the bar and the fan had the ashes going everywhere. So no telling what all it got into. The only thing good about the place that i saw was the fan by the bar.

I went into this place and felt very good vibes from everybody I walked passed. I didnt get funny/crazy looks like at other places Ive been.. not ONE time. Also all music types, many different ethnicities, and most of all different kinds of sitting areas outside and inside besides having four bars!!! Great place to go!!! A1

I love that they have rainbow Tuesdays for the local lgbtq community that wants the stay otp. The pros: awesome music, decent customer service, and no cover.The cons:Pool is $2 a game... Most places its $1.Drinks are a little over priced.And food is a little over priced as wellI will continue to come back but you should consider reviewing your prices. Over all its an amazing place.

Only been a few times but I have always liked the atmosphere and had a good time even with a little misunderstanding on an order here and there . But last night when I was about to pay out my tab the bartender said oh Im so sorry we are going to pay have to pay for your tab because you dont have a form of payment, the other bartender gave away your card because it looked like the other guests and they thought it was his like was no big deal. I was shocked at the time, expressed my concern but didnt do much but cancel my card and leave.Today I called just to express to a manager that it was unprofessionally handled. I even said I know there isnt anything you can do now but I just wanted to make you aware of the situation. This man was extremely rude and kept saying well we payed for your tab what more do you want from me. You canceled the card and Im sure itll be there in two days It wasnt a high tab and it wasnt about the money. I ended the call quickly because he clearly wasnt going to express sympathy. Im extremely disappointed. I was planning to come back until the conversation with this manager. I will not be back, at least not for a long time nor will I ever give them my card

I absolutely love this place and the diversity of the staff. Gotat love the twin owners.. Jay is the fun one always dancing.. Chris is a little more serious! But I def go here all the time and have a blast whether its by myself or with my friends!!!!P.S. never celebrate by yourself I ended up on the floor for 30 mins on my bday... just know I had a great time down there lol

Drinks were great. Dumb waitress though. I got 2 drinks at $7 a peice and 1 taco for $2. The bill came to $26. I tried to explain that the total is incorrect but waitress just couldnt get it. Thankfully the manager did.

18% gratuity automatically added to your bill whether you just get one drink or more. Doesnt look like it gets to crowded so Im guessing thats why. Customer service could have been better coming from the bar tenders. Only came because my friend lives in the area but probably wont return.

Ive been twice. Vibe is amazing! Food and drinks were awesome I went on a Friday and Saturday night. Saturday nights are lit lit!!

Nice atmosphere. Latino room, hip hop room and someone playing guitar live at the tiki bar. A good variety of ppl/cultures. The only thing I didnt like was the Coronas tasted like water.

Fun environment, nice people, good music, it has 5 different bars and all of them are very nice, the food is excellent! I love the big papi burger or the steak nachos! Omg the lamb is good too! Very nice place to hang out!

Personally, Id never buy food from here. Not the salmon not the dip, not salads....nothing buto the fries. The food is typical bar trash. But....the people here are usually nice. They limit the DJ to what he can play for some reason so 60% of the time ppl are sitting down instead of dancing. The bartenders are a little skittish, bit there is one in particular I love. I dont know his name is know he had Sandy hair, taller, slim, and has a beard and stash...very fun loving. Great great great bartender. The music does have its high points but it would be alot better if it were consistent.Update 09/2017I still love the bartenders. I love the fact that they expanded the bar and hired more staff. The Pizza is too sausey but ok. I still only go for the fries and the DJ is still limited buto you cant beat the vibe here. All ages, 21-61, but we all just HAVE A GOOD TIME

Drinks way to expensive to be so watered down from the beginning. Asked for a shot got some cheap tequila plus the bar tenders were not very friendly and they seem more interested in taking shots with the owner then making sure the patrons had all what they needed. Will not be going back.

Its a nice place, 2 different areas one with salsa, bachata and Latin music, and the other one with hip hop and rap music.. pool tables, and not expensive drinks.. very kind employees.. First time I go.. and Ill come back soon!

The hookahs were the worst , the tips were too big, they were so cheap not to even have real hookahs they have a homemade hookah made out of a bottle....By the time it took a manager to come over the coal was burned out then the manager got an attitude and said so what do yall wanna do? A real manager would have accommodate their guest! It took walking around to even find the bartender for drinks. The music selection was good but all over the place....would advise anyone to go here unless just have time to kill...

Loved the atmosphere and dance floor with tables too. Loaded fries left me empty and cheated. Philly steak was straight and better 2nd time. This place grows on you.

Service is TERRIBLE unless Mariah is there. My drink stayed empty until i chased her down for another one. Other than that great place with nice vibe drinks and music.

My friends and I decided to stop here because they are open late, but we wouldve did better going to Waffle House. Its over priced and the size of the wings are unacceptable. Be prepared to pay an 18% gratuity charge automatically included in your tab also.

14$ for a single Jack and coke that’s not filled to the top and a sip of Jack in there. Sticky floors. Place is Trash. Don’t waste your time!

Had been going there for a couple of weekends now and actually enjoyed it until last night me and a couple of friends went, first they told one of my friends to pull up his pants which ok understandable so he complied. Then they follow him in the bathroom then when he comes out comes and says something else to him unrelated to the pants he already pulled up. So we decided just to sit outside. My friends ordered some food so when it comes the waiter brings us wings and fries. Ten minutes later the owner comes and snatches the plate from in front of us and says you didnt order this. Ok if your waiter brings us the wrong thing than there is a way of going about things without being rude or disrespectful and that was absolutely both so after that will never be going back again and wondering if we were a lighter shade of color would the situation have went down differently.

So me and my boyfriend stopped by Js and we didnt know what to expect. When entering the lounge we were greeted quickly and we sat down at the bar and we ordered some beers and two shots of 1800 that was on special. Later that night we got hungry and we ordered wings, they were very small but okay, they were two bartenders behind the bar that day and the one who served us was very attentive, I think he told us his name was Rob and originally from Mexico, the other bartender was a girl who was just standing behind the bar smoking and talking to this guy who probably was her boyfriend, so we asked the girl that we wanted another round but her attitude was so rude like she didnt want to pour us the shots lol me and my boyfriend just stared at each other at that moment, we got our shots but through the night we made sure that Rob served us hes so friendly and such a great dancer (yes i danced with the bartender) then we asked for our check and it came down to 75 dollars with gratuity already included, which we didnt mind at all, indeed we tipped over. Overall we enjoyed ourselves that night, and my boyfriend and I will be returning to Js when in the area :)

If i could give this place negative zero stars i would. Me and friends came on a Saturday night when we first got there no one was really there, it was our first time so we thought why not. We were trying to sit down at a table and saw that all of them said reserved then this waitress told us we could sit at the bar cool no problem, but then she mentioned in order for us to sit at a table we would have to spend $100 like really just for a table!! So we said it’s cool we’re fine at the bar but things start to turn and we order food me and my other friend got wings and my other friend got a veggie quesadilla. She stated the quesadilla veggies were raw and not cooked at all and it wasn’t good, and me and my other friend stated our wings were good but very little like jr cricket wings. I had ordered lemon pepper wings but they brought me plain and i had to complain which i hate doing. They finally corrected it and we had ordered hookah as well when they brought it out it wasn’t pulling what so ever and we had to flag someone else down who had an attitude and completely ignored us until he wanted to come over. Finally when they brought us another hookah it was the wrong flavor which originally we had watermelon and pineapple and they brought us mint like really! My third straw was when she told me and my other friend that we were only splitting $35 as my other friend had already left and paid majority of the tab she swiped both me and my friends card for $8.91 which we signed for as well as $10 to go towards the bill, and the next day i saw my card was charged for $62 so if you don’t want your money stolen DONT COME HERE!!! I had to dispute with my bank because they didn’t want to.

Never got to try the hookah because they wanted $70 for a session so I left to find another reasonable hookah spot. Apart from that seems like a fine establishment.

I see why this place never has a good crowd. I paid 5.38 for a 12oz corona 5.38 come on now. Who does that.. I ordered another beer and the cost was 7.00. Shysters. Avoid at all costs. For the lack of people I guess they change the price of drinks every 10 minutes. Chump change snatchers. 7 dollas for a beer I guess the light bill due.

Awful. Ordered Ubereats after a long day of work at the hotel, waited 45 minutes only for it to be cancelled by the restaraunt. When I did eat there previously, the food was soggy and smelled terrible. I would advise going to the battery park for dinner or just about any other Mexican restaraunt than this place.

First time coming here, nice vibe. The food was okay and came out luke warm. The drinks are ridiculously over priced and they are stingy with the pours. The music was cool, the hookah was okay. I would come back again but its not on the top of my list.

Never a bad time. Amazing drinks. Pretty good food. Love the patio atmosphere (especially with covid). My go-to when I want to go out for cocktails.

You could not pay me to go here again. Maybe it’s because I’m from out of state, but that was by FAR the WORST hookah I’ve ever had. After paying almost $30 for a single hosed hookah, It wouldn’t hit for the first 30 minutes then after they finally got it to, it was burnt and unsmokable. The ball berring in the air release valve was glued down making clearing the stale smoke impossible. The bartender was friendly which is the only reason I’m filling out detailed info. What a scam altogether

Order the nachos and the cheese bread with Ubereats. The bread didnt have any dipping sauce. The nachos were made as if I was there. Whenever you have nachos that are going to be delivered, you always separate out the chips and the queso because if you dont, it comes to you as a soggy mess. I wouldnt give it as bad as a star but the comments from the establishment regarding reviews from customers are rude and disrespectful. Heres hoping I get one too.

Nice chill spot with good food and hookah. The customer service is excellent. Waiters and waitresses continued to come to our table every couple minutes to see if we needed anything.

Nice late night hang out spot. One side is Mexican music the other side hip hop. I love the mixture and vibe. I party on both sides.

I love this place!! Especially the new Taki bar they have set up.. The drinks are great and they offer a happy hour.. The food is just ok.. But the Hookah is good and the vibe is great!! The staff is friendly..

The best place to dance and have such a good drinks.. I will definitely recommend la Pura Vida because this place brought life to me.

Music selection could be waaay better but baybee them dranks poppin. Tacos were dry tho. But them drinks! And issac was mad cool...he let me call him Michael all night lol

Its okay if you bring your own crew with you but if you go alone you wont really enjoy. Turn off they always have the Marietta police inside the club and out side the club watching every one plus Cobb county police dont play.

Great vibe with a lot of space! There are bars, more than on DJ, huge dancefloor, pool tables, and nice outdoor seating. There were various ages in there too.

This place is an absolute joke. The food is worse than an elementary school cafeteria. How are you even in business? I ordered a chicken quesadilla that contained approximately one piece of chicken and the remainder was dry tortilla. Glad I paid nine dollars for that, and another $1.25 for the side of ranch that you didnt even include. What a waste. Wouldnt even feed this feed this to my dog.

Nice chill bar. I went on a random Monday night. Drinks, food and hookah were good. Id go back on the weekend.

Bring your own pool stick unless you want splinters in your fingers and missed shots. Sticks are broken, no weights and hollow. Drinks are ok but over charged, DJ music is the best feature.

It was actually pretty cute. Ducked off in the corner but the vibe was pretty good. The bartenders were really sweet ladies.There was a hookah side and then there was a side with Latin dance.

Mimosa was good, but pricey for the size. The guacamole was very fresh, with big chunks of avocado in it. The nachos were hughe, but we waited for more then 30 minutes for them. The tater tots and french fries were good. They call the chicken wings baby for a good reason, they were tiny. The pizzas are also really good and they make a terrific drink called liquud marijuana.

Ray is da bomb and Christina 😍😍😍 Treat me like family. Great atmosphere never no drama in here great music for all cultures!!! non watered dwn drinks like most of Georgia spots!!

Had a BALL! Crowd gets younger in 20s and early 30s after 11pm. Not my kind of crowd then. But a great place to hang and hear good music.

I have visited the place twice, there is a good atmosphere, good music, Theres just little space

Dope place! A tad pricey but to be expected. A bit older crowd when I came. Good food, good drinks, good music and AMAZING staff. Definitely would recommend.

I went here on a Monday for their 4 PM happy hour. I had a really cool bartender and he made us some delicious strawberry margaritas.

Horrible I guess the owner\manager was our server i ask for 2 shots of patron he brought me a bill for that.he also brought out 2 margaritas with it I said I did not ask for margaritas he proceeded to argue and tell me I did ask for them I said I only wanted 2 patron shot he said ok $17.00 I said no the book says it is $12.00 for 2 so then he got mad and said you can leave I said ok...then on the way out the other boss shouted and dont come back! very rude and un professional leave your feelings at home! Bunch of clowns

The atmosphere, drinks and hookah is great!!! But the food is BLAND... I tried two separate dishes and they were both sub par.... cool place to hang out but if your hungry I would go somewhere else.

Extremely filthy. They got roaches 🪳. Floor is sticky and dirty. The further you go back the nastier it is. I just don’t understand why they don’t clean the place

I ordered delivery through uber eats, and got my food within 20 mins which isnt bad. However the quality of food was-- I ordered chicken shawarma with a side of tater tots. What I got was scattered pieces of dry hard meat, mix together with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and what was supposed to be to tzatziki sauce (theirs had a very liquid consistency). All this came frantically wrapped in a tortilla. The tator tots were the best part of the meal. In my opinion, this was not worth $11. This was my first time ordering here, and I dont believe I will be coming back.

Graham and Zoel are the best. I literally only come here for them. They answer all of my questions truthfully and they are knowledgeable about the menu 10/10 would recommend

I used to love this spot until tonight when a bartender put me out for asking why they added 18% gratuity to my check (this had never been done before)(also I tip better than 18% bc I take care of my server and bartender). Wow. Super ballsy Js!

I loved it ...it was free admission at one point but tonight I found out they charge $10 on Fridays but its totally worth it I met kool people there it very laid back atmosphere mixed young adult crowd

Great music good pooltables..But the food was just ok.need to work on Food menu..or a better cook...asked for a medium rare burger it was well done. Overall pretty good spot Jammin...

Food had no taste at all.

Always have fun going here dj plays great mixture, only thing this time it was extremely hot in the there and there was no outside access to the patio to even cool down

Love the vibe , bartenders definitely deserve to be tipped !! Dj sets the mood right everytime. Hookahs definitely dont smoke as hard as they should

This place is horrible the y claim a mixed atmosphere but owner is a racist whom only wants to cash out while being a bigot. Worst bar I ever been too. Made a point to call CC to Chet a refund that’s how bad service is.

My favorite place to go in Marietta. Great hookah, food, music, reasonable drinks and pool tables. Great DJ on the weekends and the owner and staff give the best service of any lounge Ive ever been too

We went on a Monday. They had half off hookahs and very tasty fresh pizza.

Me and my hunny went out dancing and stopped in this place. I had such a wonderful time. Mexican and hip hop. Loved it and we will be back.

Now called La Pura Vida...this joint is jumping with awesome drinks and the DJ is on point! Either dance the night away or enjoy good food and drink...even shoot a game of pool...a great time with be the result of the evening!

I loved the environment, people, service, drinks food ! Everything is awesome I totally recommend that place, the music is great, one of my favorites bars!!!

It alright the music was good. The drinks were a little to expensive, but overall no to bad.

There are 2 sides - one that plays Latino music and the other side plays RNB/Hiphop. Great DJ. Fun times.

Wow! Im appauled at the owners response to some of these comments. I have never been here, but thought about checking it out tonight. The owners attitude towards his customers alone has helped in my decision making. I wont be going nor will I recommend this place. #customersfirst #customersatisfaction

The best part about Js is the friendly staff and owner. If youre looking for a relaxing but fun night in Marietta, this is the place to be.ALSO THE BEER BUCKET IS SICK. 🙌

Enjoyed myself looking forward to the next time. The bartender ladies Melissa and Latonya were great! Keep up the excellent work!!!

The atmosphere is amazing! The staff is fun and helpful and they have an awesome drink selection! The music is great too!

Card info was stolen. They wanted Id and card to open tab. 30 min later a huge charge from Dave and busters. Beware!

Tonight was my first time going I had never even heard of the place the owner was very hands on the drink selection was a variety the food was awesome everything cane out in a timely manner the staff was very welcoming will be back

Pretty chill spot, the dj was decent. Didnt get any food or drinks but there are plenty of tvs and room for dancing, pool, the bars and of course the tables.

The only place around here that serves hookah reasonably early in the day throughout the week. Cant go wrong with that. Friendly staff. Good pizza.

Graham was a great bartender!!

Never again.Weak drinks, overpriced food. Our bill was $80 and automatic gratuity on a party of two is WILD.

Nice large space with 2 DJs, pool tables. Outside lounge with patio sofas and coffee tables. The other patio side with high tables and chairs, outside bar as well with televisions

Great service, great environment. I can chill on a weeknight and watch the world series, and have great conversations about anything to the bartenders and owners. Weekly visits for me.

Jay is a very nice guy. The place is nice and music is good (house and Latino). If you are hungry, food is good.

Great place! Good people.. Food..music..staff.. I was happy to be able to go out in jeAns and a tee and have the best time ever!!

Great steak, shrimp, and chicken tacos. Drinks was strong but satisfying. I would come again.

Roach on the coaster my drink was sitting on 😩brought it to the Owner and Bartender’s attention. They both responded “Oh”. Needless to say I asked for my check and left. I will never be back!

Amazing service! Even when I’m coming in at 2:30 Am. Food was hot and amazing bartenders! Maggie and Alex were the best! Plz come here!!!!

If they not going to make a lamb gyro as advertised then dont sell them .. I ordered for pick up and it looked like pulled porked with no tomatoes, and hardly no onions or sauce .. tried calling the phone number posted on web but it only rang three times then get a busy signal .. fries ok but gyro had to be discarded .. hungry so you know im very peeved right now ..

Awesome place. Plenty of room for peopleof all kinds. Great variety of music, atmosphere, and , most importantly, liquor!

I like that its two side to the bar a spanish side and a african American side the hooka how ever sucked to me the drinks were strong and the pool tables were ok in i like its alot of space

Loved it meet a few good ppl the re-enter cover charge was was a lil too much but over all a nice dancing spot

Very underrated place, it is always empty when i go in food and drinks are passable. I hope their late night crowd is good!

Decent drinks. Food was okay...but not great. Had fun with friends listening to good music.

1st X going. Had a blast...ppl, music and atmosphere was AWESOME!!! WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK👍OH and I loved the decor.

Great atmosphere, staff and drinks! Check out that covered patio and their pizza is the best!

Nice young croud hangout. Two clubs in 1! One side is Spanish music, the other side is Hip-Hop!

Nice place and good atmosphere!! Hookah was strong but goodFood was ok but what can you expect from a bar smh regardless it was fun

The bartender stole 21&some change from me cous I spent over a 100.on some kind of gruity on 2 people this was done after I gave him 10 when me and date 1st got there

Great Lounge went their with friends had a game of pool and some beers liked it alot :)

Never Will go here again.. Owner was very rude and arrogant..Which Im not sure why because drinks, food and service was horrible....Now I see why theres barely any business..

I love this place. Good service, great drinks. Nice place to hang out with friends or with a date

Lovely outside seating area, perfect for drinks and hookah, great for date night or girls night out

Nice and relaxing place to have a drink and some good food with some friends. Went here for a birthday and had the chicken kabob, which was really good!

Great chill spot. Hispanic and American music. The food was great. Grear Mya hookahs. The drinks were on point.

Decent bar food but we got house Margs that were 7 bucks and small and mostly mixer. Total scam for drinks

Nice environment. The pizza was terrible. Paid $50 for pizza and two drinks and felt like I wasted my money.

First time ever there and it was a bad experience from the front door to the bar The staff service is horrible the manager needs to be fired I don’t see how folks patronize this so-called bar -The drinks —The food i’ guess folks will just have to see for themselves I can’t believe that hole in the wall is still operating

Nice place to chill on a sunday.. awesomeSandy juarez, please stfu..Appreciate all the music played by the dj.. theres a reason why hes the dj..Close your ears if u dont listen to hiphop..

I had an amazing experience and the staff is very friendly . Great drink selection. Will be returning!

Awesome multi-cultural experience. Three separate bars. Excellent food and drinks. Wonderful service.

Huge place loved the food, drink options and the employees...plenty of space, seating and tasty flavors for the Hookah

Awesome place, awesome atmosphere! Good food!!!! Sooo yummy, fun environment! Love coming here!

Real nice chill spot. Went on a Wednesday night and the vybe was laid back n relaxing. Just how I like it. I will be back

Love the pool tables that they have in there can you use a little bit more lighting though

Mehn I have a very bad experience here . the hookah is really bad n the charge $1 a charcoal . smh who does that ? The fried and wings are good tho.

Good music and food. The owners were nice and personable. Diverse crowd also.

Definitely love this place. Each time I go I have a great time! Definitely love Mariah and Graham!

This was my first visit i enjoyed it the drinks were pretty good and service was fast.

Good drinks, good customer service, good hookahs, good food,outside bar and patio and a really nice mixed environment!

Great food. Gets busy so if ya got the time well worth the wait.

Dont go here if you like a DJ who can mix and play good songs and a clean environment

First time here but looks pretty descent and fun place. Happy New Year everybody! Be well!

Love this place, a little pricey but is worth it. The drinks and food are phenomenal.

Great bartender, wish I could remember his name! Food is good but then we saw a critter who was quite pushy-_-

Came here for a birthday. Great drinks love the different rooms with different music.

Not much of a crowd on a Wednesday night but that will soon change because the food , music and service on point!

I love this place! The pizza is awesome! Brick oven is the best!! Service is always on point!

Great music. Friendly atmosphere. Great staff and very professional at the door.

Great happy hour spot..outdoor seating, lots of space and good steak tacos

Got tab wrong but everything was fine.

The bartender and staff were excellent and fun. The best experience Ive had period.

Really nice place, good music. With a diverse group of people.

Hooka was nice and the customer service was GREAT!! Would definitely go here again, was nice for a weekday

Enjoyed the food, service great, fresh clean, relaxing

This place is awesome, recommended highly. Place to eat good food, great drinks and hookah

Cute little spot to have a dring and dance.Fyi bring a dance partner cause there isnt many people
