Jakes Cocktail Bar And Grill in Antrim

This place is closed and looks like it has been for sometime

Visited here yesterday for our son's 10th birthday. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive and patient (my dad has dementia and my mum is GF). The menu had alot of variety which accommodated dietary requirements such as gluten free and vegan options. The restaurant was clean and had a cosy warm feel. Music was soft and low enough to have a conversation at the table. I got the honey chilli chicken and it was amazing. Would highly recommend and will be back. Kids menu had alot of variety too.

Good food and pleasant staff. Good value Sunday lunch menu.

Tasty grub first time here will definitely be back

The food was excellent for all of us but the restaurant was very busy therefore a bit too noisy for 70 year old me. The young Lady who was our restaurant was excellent however we still felt let down as we had to order a pitcher of water and a pint of beer 5 times. The delay meant we had to eat the entire meal without something to wash it down . A wee bit disappointed.

Everything was very delicious! Fast service !

A nice place to sit, especially in the summer due to the Beer Garden. I ate the burger twice and it was OK. They pour different beers, all the ones a bar should have, including Haineken, which has been hard to find in NI lately. There is little space inside, but the garden compensates. Some waiters are clueless.

Food and service was excellent. Would recommend the chicken cheese melt. Will be back again soon. 👍👍

Went here for lunch today Top food, very friendly and helpful staff.

Seems to be a new menu which has changed a lot from the last time I was here.. very limited, which is a shame as it used to have such a good variety. I was really disappointed as I had asked for a liqueur coffee at 9:30pm on a Friday night, and was told by a very young waitress that she had just cleaned the coffee machine so no I couldn’t have one!!! Food was out within 5 mins of ordering (never a good sign for freshness) and then once it was eaten, a waitress slammed the bill down on our table (despite us being one of the only customers in the restaurant!!) Won’t be back I’m afraid!

Food has improved alot in the last year. Always enjoy the food now.

Called here Saturday with few friends the place is a proper looking bar restaurant and the service from the moment we arrived was excellent. Food was excellent and a dam good portion washed down with a good pint of stout. Will definitely return

A lovely place to drink a beer, eat and have fun. The Staff are kind and polite.

This spot is great for a meal out. After going to the top of the town and being very disappointed this was an excellent meal out. We were a group of 6 adults and all enjoyed everything we ordered from starters, mains and deserts. Staff friendly but could have been a bit more welcoming upon arrival, good atmosphere - a few people in but not too busy, and they had a singer/band on. I had the steak which was lovely. One of us had the ribs and steak combo and after eating the ribs was too stuffed for the steak. Lovely cocktails and the option to opt for a coffee instead. We all left feeling full and I would definitely come back here!

A great restaurant the food good and great menu and great atmosphere and excellent friendly staff 👌.

Cocktails and food were both 10/10, amazing! Will definitely be back.

Seafood Thermador was awful! Dry pieces of fish, scoops of mash potatoes dumped on the plate, (menu said piped) empty mussel shells. Thermador sauce it was not!! Because almost all of my food went back I was asked was there anything wrong with it and I explained but that was that. No apology - nothing! If they can’t do it right - get it off the menu !

This is the best place in the country. I went with my mummy and daddy to get some food for my mum and dad’s anniversary best food ever best staff ever best people ever the best place to be in sorry for late review 🥲❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your staff are lovely

Just had a family meal at Jake’s and from booking even with changing numbers, the food and service were first class! Thankyou!

Decent enough wee spot. Been here a couple of times and food is pretty good. Staff are friendly and the restaurant is clean and tidy. Sunday lunch is good value - 20 quid for 2 courses which is standard enough pricing nowadays. Also have a grill menu if you dont fancy the set lunch. Always seems busy which is a good sign.

Food was bland and I didn't enjoy it. All of the chicken ordered was very dry apart from the starter of salted chilli chicken which was delicious, the only reason for the stars. Cocktails weren't great- I couldn't drink mine and the others left theirs. Expensive for what it is. Staff weren't very friendly (apart from one girl in the whole place with loads of staff). I personally wouldn't recommend it.

Amazing food with a great menu and awesome staff. Nice place to call in for food and drinks with plenty of parking.

Southern fried chicken melt was outstanding

Very disappointed, would have always recommended to anyone but tonight was a disaster. Table booked for 7.15 wasn’t eating until 8.30. Far too long a wait for my 3 year old granddaughter. Son’s steak returned to kitchen, over cooked, husband brought his home with him as he couldn’t eat it practically raw when he requested medium to well. Onion rings could have been rang out as so greasy and chilli chips had no chilli. Out for my son’s 21st birthday dinner don’t think I’ll be rushing back for a while. No one even asked how things were. Bill 159.00 so wasn’t cheap either

We always enjoy our visits to Jake’s, but tonight was far beyond the usual five star service - the food was amazing, the service was superb, but what took it that bit further was how two of the wonderful staff members helped my grandmother to her seat and then back to our car. She has very poor mobility and is deathly afraid of falling. As a result, she has stayed indoors and missed out on so many opportunities to visit restaurants and shops. She has admitted how lonely these past few years have been, and finally agreed to come out today with myself and my mum, who is visually impaired. Trying to aid two people with different impairments and disabilities can be quite a handful for just one person, but these amazing staff members really made this evening a delight and has solidified Jake’s as our family’s personal favourite eatery. I can’t thank the staff enough.

I love this restaurant, nothing is to much trouble especially with me being coeliac .. my first stop for a special occasion

Great place for food and drink. Prices are reasonable and the food is pretty good. Can be very busy, so you need to book in advance. Worth a visit.

Great place Great staff Top place

Very good atmosphere reasonable priced staff friendly

Best food ever! So much to chose from. The food was delicious and the service was ok. We had pasta, ribs, tacos,wings, chips and onion rings. everything was lovely.

Enjoyed the food,but a bit expensive

The food is absolutely delicious, there is a good selection of beer/wine and the service was good.

Very busy. Good atmosphere. Quality of food excellent.

Absolute disgrace, went today for my friends child's christening and got the buffet. Got 4 small trays of food which included chips, cocktail sausages, chicken bites and wings and got charged £300. You would get more for a child's party and spoke to the manager and he just shrugged and said 'that's what it is'

Super Atmosphäre. Alle sind freundlich, egal ob man von hier ist oder neu. Freundlicher Service. Die anderen Gäste sind sehr aufgeschlossen.

We had great time and best food with good potions

Great food. Sever even brought my wife some lasagne which she had never tasted before with a little candle on it because it was her birthday too.

Great staff and food even when busy nice menu too!

Great service, nice place - but the goujons should be served in Prison

Family meal out, couple of mistakes but very quick to help.

Food is great fantastic service and the staff are nice and friendly definitely recommend Jakes cocktail bar and Grill

6 meals in good time, 7th main 20 minutes later. No desert orders, ice cream not brought out as part of kid meal. Lots of staff no real excuse. Shame, won't be back. It's

Great food and atmosphere. Pleasent staff.

Great wee spot, foods great an has various selections, and Sunday 2course is great!

Wonderful Service, and amazingly scrumptious food. Always a delight to visit

Ok... so with fairness : Banoffee was yummy, my girlfriend got really yummy alcohol free cocktail and enjoyed her food Me on the other hand.. didn't enjoy the fish from the fish& chips as it was a frozen pre-made product which I'm familiar with and I ordered regular Guinness, what i got was alcohol free even though the waitress said it was regular.. So.. with a genuine Guinness and a genuine fish& chips the place would have been a 5star for me 😉

Excellent service, good food and handy parking

Combo set tenderloin beef and rib is quite nice. There are variety of menus. Service is OK. Good seat outdoor

We were dining with our 7 week old son who was in his push chair beside the table and when the food was brought out to the table the server handed to trays of HOT food over the top of the child's head and when I complained to the server he shrugged his shoulders and said I've never drop food yet, this was unacceptable but his attitude was terrible and he just walk of with NO apology whatsoever. Poor poor service

Food delicious and great portion sizes, unfortunately there always seems to be a bit of a wait to get seated and served. Cocktails are great

Great food & value for money. Brilliant menu variety. Lovely decor & surroundings staff very attentive & friendly would definitely go back if this is the standards 😊

Recommend booking as busy on a weekend. Gorgeous food and great service.

Had to wait almost one hour for our meal. We only ordered main courses and watched other tables receive starters and main course whilst we waited! The staff worked very hard in their area but they did not appear to be supervised or well lead.

Was there for a meal with my family for my daughters birthday the food service and atmosphere was amazing 👏

Nice lunch with My daughter and her partner

Lovley wee nightcap with a friend after dinner. It was quiet and beautifully decorated. Staff are lovley x

food was decent, good but not insanely good. not many vegetarian options. nice atmosphere just a bit busy at times. they forgot to bring a side i ordered but staff were nice.

Very large portions and freshly cooked

Great wee bar to have a drink and chat with friends. They had live music last night which was A1

Great food and the staff were very friendly

Loved its here, food was amazing! Lively restaurant and bar, child friendly in restaurant. Service was great, nothing was a bother. Would definitely go back

Tes bonne expérience ! Service avec le sourire et pizza au top !

Ordered battered cod and the batter came out soggy, simply not good enough, how can you get this wrong.

Unfortunately we had not booked for food and it was booked out. Had a few drinks cocktails where fab. All round great atmosphere. Visiting from Scotland

Food great . Service was slow....disorganised.4 different staff attending us had to ask if desserts were coming.But would go again.

Vey disappointed with service . Food was not warm . I got 3 drinks and 3 soft drinks at the bar there was very unhappy bartender girl when she served me i have to asked for tray and carry all drinks by myself .

First time eating here. I had the burger and have to say it was lovely. The waiting staff knew what they were doing. Very attentive. Afterwards spent a bit of time in the bar. Yet again there was no waiting to be served. I will be back.

There were 9 off us , the place is lovely well set out not packed with tables elbow to elbow food was lovely and we had a variety off dishes in the group no issues with any

Seafood dishes very poor and not cooked with any flavour, the sauce of the Seafood chowder and the Seafood thermadoor was bland. The fish was over cooked and the seafood chowder was filled with vegetables which is pretty unusual. I really wouldn’t recommend getting these dishes, the presentation looked so appealing aswell but the taste wasn’t there. Chocolate cake really REALLY dry and tasted like cardboard. The only redeeming factor was that the grilled chicken fillet stacker was a decent meal.

We love Jakes. We have visited over many occasions as a couple, with friends, family and children. Everytime the food was outstanding, staff helpful and their cocktails are delicious too.

Had a lovely dinner with friends, superb food

Lovely food at a fantastic price. The tapas menu is excellent

No complaints food fantastic as is all the rest

Called Christmas eve very good food & service, good pint of hop House as well, highly recommended 👍👍

Having lunch with a friend very good service and certainly will be back again.

Great value for money, food always good

Amazing, food is absolutely delicious

Food was excellent. Brilliant service and excellent staff .would highly recommend without hesitation.

Never lets me down pints are amazing and the menu is second to none 👍

Busy wee place has such a big menu food was nice, just pub grub nothing too exciting.

Foods always reliable and staff great but get the toilets sorted out. They're always broken in some way, the drains stink and some are just out of use. It's been like that for ages and to be honest it's starting to put people off going.

Very dull staff on entry. Waited 12mins to be asked what we wanted to eat or drink. Had to be quick so ordered cod and chips. It came in super fast time. Fish was soggy, like it was sitting ready, hence the speed.

Excellent service good menu at realistic prices Very pleasant staff Highly Recommended

Great wee bar went up to see a few mates

The food was of good quality at reasonable prices. The environment was clean and very comfortable as for the staff they attended us impeccably.

Friendly staff, good affordable food & pleasant surroundings in great location for shopping.

Cannot recommend Jake's Cocktail enough!!!

Absolutely fantastic in every way. I would give 10 stars if I could. Food was tasty and arrived quickly. Staff friendly and very professional too. Portion sizes also a lot larger than most restaurants. Highly recommend.

Great food and generous portions!

Lovely food, but far too big a portion for people with small appetites, still the same

Always amazing when we visit, food is superb and cocktails are the best one of our fave spots!

Never let's us down, we as a family always have our celebrations here, first class.

Family gathering at Jakes for dinner. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious. Everyone was commenting about how good the food and service was. Thank you for making this a wonderful family reunion experience for all.

We had a tasty meal and our waitresses were fantastic. So nice to have great food and great service in such a lovely setting.

Absolutely beautiful food and atmosphere. Great prices also.

Good food. Reasonable prices. Good service. Menu is all over the place. Asian to BBQ to burgers. Salmon and chicken and pasta were good. Burger was a disappointment.

All I can say is that every plate was cleared. Not the 1st time we have ate here & 100% won't be the last .

Brilliant Beer garden, excellent food and great staff

v good food, excellent staff and greats offers and prices. family friendly too

Attend a baby shower the room was lovely the food was great and we all enjoyed our night
