We live around the corner so we were thrilled to see Jack Ryan's rise from the ashes and become Jack's Extra Fancy. Stopped in for drinks and a bite - the beef short rib was amazing. At almost 40 bucks we hesitated, but it was enough for more than one person (though he polished it off with zest lol). Atmosphere is awesome, music playing but not so loud that you can't hear your friends, service staff is top notch - attentive without being hovery. Smashburger and fries were also delicious. Vibe seems to be an upscale version of a dive bar - like they have PBR based cocktails, Genny, Miller High Life, etc., but they're not just serving them, they're also using them in bougie cocktails. Overall, clean, pretty, relaxed - we'll be back!

The food is AWESOME. The latke frites are the thing you never knew you needed, but you do. We came in with expectations about those and they were surpassed. The sauce combo was perfection. We decided to roll the dice on the Buffalo nuggz. Chickpea ‘shroom nuggets? Ok. I’ll bite. And I’m so glad I did. These came with three items to dip and stack. I tried them separately and it was good. Together though? Perfection. The house fries are on point: crispy outside, soft potato innards, nicely seasoned. The bulgogi meatball sub was just so damn good. The soft roll. The guchujang. The kimchi flavor. Bangin good. We split these items between 2 people and it was perfect.
What a revamp! Young, middle aged and old people co-existing at a bar.
Great short menu- no confusion about what to order.
Has vegan options; couple of them but has vegan options!
No Guinness, but has Irish influence from the past as Jack Ryan’s.
Come in, you’ll love it!

Best new restaurant in town. The food is utterly incredible, the service is warm and friendly. Often the owner is serving. The atmosphere is so fun. The bar side is more low key, the dining room has a disco ball which can feel a little chaotic but it’s well decorated and quiet. The side pull Genny makes our hometown beer taste luxurious. Highly highly recommend the latke frites, the nuggets, the burger, and most of all the pastrami plate. It can feed two and is worth the price I promise.

Atmosphere is great.
Service is…. Meh.
The food and menu needs work.
-The latkes needed salt and seasoning, they lacked flavor. The horseradish cream on the latkes was lacking the horseradish.
-the Chicago dog: the relish needs to be improved. There should be diced tomatoes, the sliced ones were inedible. The bun was tasty. This wasn’t my favorite but I’d eat it.
-the chickpea panzanella salad needs diced tomatoes. The croutons are WAY too big, those should be smaller.
-the nugget things were terrible. Those need the most work. Are they baked? Pan cooked? They are way too mushy. The chef should go to a bunch of vegan spots and study their nuggets. I wouldn’t order these again.
I’ll come here for drinks but might hold off on food!
I’d come here for drinks but it’s also really overpriced. Location is okay and there is some parking.

Fun atmosphere and amazing service! Went with some girlfriends for food and drinks. When we got there it was packed but the owner kept an eye out for a table for us and got us sat in a reasonable time! The food was even better, and you get a good amount so I was able to take some home for leftovers!

Jack's is a great addition to the area. From atmosphere, to food, to drinks, the place is great. Awesome spot to watch football and hang with friends. Casual, easy, and fun place to hang out. They did an awesome job with the interior, the menu, stocked bar, and fancy vibes Love this place!

Jack Ryan’s has a special place in my heart as a bunch of us used to go after work… this revival has done a great job of honoring the original bar while polishing it up and serving quality options.
I will most definitely keep the tradition of happy hours, bills games at Jack’s! Love the new menu but still have to work my way through more of it. Also- don’t be afraid to try a shot of Malort!

Amazing atmosphere and staff. We held a company function there and it was incredible. The staff was very welcoming and pleasant to us through the event. The owner certainly went all out with the new atmosphere as it has a great mix of fancy and dive. I would definitely recommend it.
