What People Are Saying About Calamity Jane's

The Scene – It's everything a Georgetown bar should be: mellow, friendly and filled with the most elaborate tattoos in town. The music playlist flips from indie to old country to jazz every few minutes, while the fresh flowers and old wood floors create an effortless backdrop to an evening out. You'll spot tables of coworkers relaxing over a pitcher right next to foodies nibbling happily on the nightly specials--there's even a PBJ sandwich for hungry kids. – – The Food – Don't miss the johnny cakes--thin cornmeal pancakes grilled crisp and seved lava hot, with tangy…

It's a bar in georgetown
by lessteeth at Citysearch
If you're coming from Ballard, Magnolia, Madison Park, Wallingford etc. you might be surprised with Calamity Jane's. Suffice it to say, gentrification has not taken hold in Georgetown the way you hope it has, and a monthly slum for the art walk doesn't change that. CJs is a great bar with great food, decent service if you treat the staff like actual human people, and don't expect them to kiss your a$$ like the help in bars on hills.
- Pros: Great happy hour, cheap prices, friendly employees
- Cons: None for me

Good food, service with an attitude
by south_seattle at Citysearch
We finally decided to check with place out (2 adults, 2 kids) on an early Friday evening. The restaurant was empty (maybe two tables taken) and we were asked to seat ourselves. Reading all the other reviews we were a bit skeptical about the wait staff and how they would "react" to our kids.
While the waitress was not unfriendly, we were under the impression that kids weren't her preferred customers based on the way she interacted with us and not at all with them. Also, no crayons or paper, or anything to keep them busy were provided (we got our own back from the car). We had to wait a long time for the waitress to take our order.
The food arrived quickly and it was very good. We probably would eat there again but without the kids.
- Pros: Good food, great location, nice alternative feel to the place
- Cons: Long wait for order to be taken despite empty restaurant, no attention to kids

Comfy little food spot
by holyterror at Citysearch
We live on Beacon Hill, and thought we'd try the new stuff in Georgetown. What a treat and a surprise!
The rough edges of the neighborhood are completely smoothed out by the friendly folks at C.Js My
husband is from the south, and he's picky about his greens. These folks have them perfect.
The wait staff was funky and friendly, and the service was quick. The art on the walls was actual
stuff the locals have done, and the food was affordable and great. It's a casual and romantic little
neighbeorhood restaurant, well worth the trip.
The Details on Calamity Jane's
Know Before You Go:
Watch your step when leaving and don't stumble on the stair down to the sidewalk--it's not very well lit.
Where to Sit:
The big table in the window of the restaurant side is perfect for a group. The dimmer bar is a relaxed spot to sip a cold one after work.
What to Drink:
It's hard to pass up cheap pints of PBR or the house cocktail list, but each nightly dinner special suggests a specific bottle of wine for as little as $15.
Save Money:
Happy hour runs nightly from 3pm to 6pm, and includes a bar menu of sizeable snacks for less than $4 each.
