JJ's Place

'''JJ's Place''' is the late-night [[dining]] location at Columbia, open until 1am on Sunday to Thursday. JJ's is located in the basement of [[John Jay Hall]]. As of this year, you do need to use a meal swipe to access it. The location used to house a student cooperative organic market. It was at one time an on-campus bar, serving alcohol to upperclassmen.

JJ's menu features chicken fingers, burgers, smoothies, fries, and other artery-clogging options, as well as a salad bar. The staff is also fun, nice, and all-around awesome. There was once a candy-by-the-pound rack and a small "mini-mart" section.

JJ's has OK seating with lots of tacky timber. A pool table arrived in 2007, LCD televisions were installed in [[2006]] at each booth, and there's a television at the far end of the room which primarily features [[w:ESPN|ESPN]], though can be changed to different channels using the handy channel up/down buttons on the front. It also has wifi.

It was recently renovated in the summer of 2012, turning its once run-down appearance into a dining hall reminiscent of Applebee's, complete with sound system and bright orange and green paint. There's now a (broken) air hockey table and couches with board games. There is also now a Jamba Juice machine with various flavors. Rumor is the CEO of Jamba Juice's daughter, who attends Columbia, made this happen.

The facility was originally designed to resemble a German ''[[w:rathskeller|rathskeller]]'', which explains the roof beams. A heaving stone hearth off to one side bears an inscription memorializing Columbians who lost their lives in the [[First World War]].

== History ==
Previous tenants of JJ's Place included an iteration of the '[[Lion's Den]]' and a pub that closed down in the summer 0f 1985 after New York raised its minimum drinking age to 21, effectively killing off its business.<ref>[http://www.eye.columbiaspectator.com/2002/02/27/our-pages In Our Pages: Higher Drinking Age Cited in Closing of John Jay Pub], Columbia Spectator, 27 February 2002</ref>

== Opening hours ==

Some students believe JJ's should open on weekend nights as well as weekday nights.
EDIT: Starting in Fall 2011, JJ's Place is now open on weekend nights
