I had a great experience at JRs thanks to Sterling! I was having a really hard time deciding what I wanted to drink because nothing was standing out to me. Instead of rushing me, Sterling took the time to ask what kinds of flavors I liked and recommended a drink I had never tried before. It ended up being one of the best drinks I’ve had, and I’m so glad I trusted his recommendation. Sterling’s customer service was outstanding friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in making sure I had a great experience. It’s not often you come across someone who goes above and beyond to make customers feel welcome. His recommendation was spot on, and you can tell he takes pride in what he does. If you’re planning to visit JRs, I highly recommend asking for Sterling. He’ll make sure you’re taken care of and help you find the perfect drink. I’ll definitely be coming back because of the excellent service I received!

I’ve been coming here for years, and every single visit has been nothing short of amazing! A huge reason for that is Sterling. He consistently provides outstanding service and always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone at his side of the bar feels welcomed, appreciated, and taken care of. No matter how busy it gets, Sterling never misses a beat. His positive attitude, attention to detail, and genuine care for his customers truly set him apart. He remembers people, makes great recommendations, and creates an atmosphere that keeps guests coming back time and time again. Honestly, Sterling is one of the main reasons I continue returning to this bar year after year. His dedication, professionalism, and exceptional customer service are second to none. Thank you, Sterling, for always making every visit a great experience. I’ll definitely keep coming back to see you!

Awesome place to drink and have a great time either by yourself or with friends. The drinks are strong and affordable. The frozen house margaritas are amazing. The pitchers are great to share or just drink it on your own. There is karaoke as well. Definitely recommend if you wanna drink on a budget and have a great time.

Been coming here for over 10 years And it's been consistent in terms of customer service, I always reccomend this place because out of all the bars in Montrose this one always has a dope staff. There's maybe like one new bartender I met who has a crappy attitude that works during the day, but the regular bartenders I've seen there for years have some of the best customer service skills and are really friendly. The outside area could use some cushion upgrades on the seats but aside from that it's literally one of the main spots keeping Montrose alive. Jrs + taqueria goes hand and hand man !
