GJ's, Colliers Wood

right i have not put a comment down for a while. people who have either not useed gjs in the last 2 years or who have posted negative comments clearly do not realise what the bar is about or how hard the management/owner has worked to turn this bar around from its bad rep 2 yrs ago. THis bar is not part of a large chain, it operates independently with one owner who has not taken a penny out of the business for the last 2 years because he is trying to create a bar on the same level as the tup so that the nice people in colliers wood can have 2 places near their house to drink and socialise.I have drunk in gjs for the last 2 years and have seen the owner run the bar all day and then stay up all night painting, sure the toilets need a refurb but if you speak to the owner he is completely honest and saysthat as it him single handedly doing the work it is on his list and when time and money allows will happen. Ihave not found a bar before where i feel wanted rather than just welcome, where i am always cheered up and where the staff will bend over backwards to help. sure sometimes it looks too relaxed but that is its charm. People who are to scared to try gjs out because the front looks in need of paint or from bad reputation from yrs ago are seriously missing out . my recommendation give it a try, meet the staff, see the comedy, karaoke, whatever floats your boat and meet the owner mark as he will treat you how you should be treated in a bar.

Not been in for a while had been getting bored of other pubs in the area, decided to check the karaoke out on thursdays between comedy nights. Had a really good night, people dancing on tables, shooters going round, it was great. It needs more of the old regulars to give it another try, things are changing in Colliers
Wood for the better and GJs has rapidly improved too. Will def return to see the staff
