James’ Third Base Sports Bar & Grill

They have an amazing music trivia night on Fridays. We go there from time to time and always have a blast, even though it can be a little crowded and loud at times. Food is your standard bar variety, although it is always decent quality. I especially recommend the quesadilla… they use a chili powder/​Cajun style seasoning mix that adds a nice kick! Service is decent enough, although they do have a tendency to understaff and stretch their servers thin sometimes. Overall good local joint… will be back for sure!

Saratoga chips with the warm bbq sauce is the best around. The hot Italian sub is awesome. Service is very good. Always has food and drink specials

Places like this make me so angry. Not at the restaurant specifically, but at circumstances. This place is a somewhat generic sports bar, true, but the food here is infinitely better than most sports chains and yet it’s the BW3s that is kind of around the corner from this place that’s packed to the gills leading up to Monday night football. Food here is cheaper (especially on Mondays when all appetizers except for wings are half off when you dine in and purchase a drink) and tastes really good. There’s also a nice variety of sandwiches, burgers and pizzas. They have lunch specials M-​F and drink specials of some sort everyday.
We have stuck mainly with appetizers on our visits. The buffalo chicken dip is definitely a winner. We’ve had the nachos with pulled pork… huge plate to share… and the pig skins where the traditional potato skin gets a bit of the same pulled pork added to it. The saratoga chips are yummy; the BBQ sauce served on the side smoky, sweet & a bit spicy. The boneless chicken wings look like they are pieces of a larger chicken breast that have been chopped up, but that means you get a better chicken to breading ratio. So many boneless wings are a bunch of batter surrounding a smidgen of chicken. On our last trip, my husband opted to get the hot italian sub to go for lunch the next day and gave it a thumbs up.
This place is tucked into an unassuming strip mall right next to an Asian supermarket. I only found it when driving by on my way to church one Sunday. And yes, I see the irony in that… finding a bar on the way to a religious service, but my church embraces responsible social drinking in moderation so hah! There is plenty of ample parking and we’ve never had to wait for a table. Granted, we have not visited this place on a weekend night or during prime Sunday football watching so I am not sure how crowded it can get. The place is pretty big, though. Plenty of space, tons of televisions, pool tables, some arcade games… a smattering of everything. I think there is even the ability to kind of rent out a private-​ish room for an event… or just a large gathering.
So if you’re looking for a place to kick back after work or to watch a game, skip B-​dubs and their declining food standards (plus they have Pepsi now… ew) and go with local!

Nice little hometown bar in Mason. 2 pool tables and really a generous amount of room for how small it looks on the outside. Above average bar food. Often have music here on the weekends. If you go during a Bengals or Ohio state game you will feel like you are with family. Everyone is cheering and having fun on those days! Great drink deals too.

Great atmosphere for a fun time. I attended a private party in the back room and went back a few days later for lunch — both experiences were surprisingly fun for what could be mistaken for a townie hole in the wall at first glance. The food was good and the service was attentive.

Pretty nice sports bar in mason. They have a pretty good beer selection, a separate party room with darts and pool tables, the service we received was very good they were attentive. The nachos with pulled pork was by far our favorite thing we are they were piled high and delicious! The main thing I wish they would work on is their wine selection it is absolutely terrible.

Great spot. Sherry and Jim were very attentive to my brother-​in-​law and my needs. The service at the bar was great (Sherry was a great server) and Jim had the TV’s set perfectly. Try the wings naked, extra crispy with Spicy Garlic.

The owner needs a lesson in customer service 101. My wife and I came to JTB for the first time to support a friend and his band. We showed up early to have dinner and stay for music. We were seated at a 6-​top on the side of bar where the band is. No one was one that side of bar. Our server asked if it got full would we be willing to share table or move to other side of bar where smaller tables were located. We said sure. 5 minutes later the owner comes by and asks us to move to make room for bigger parties. Keep in mind we were the ONLY people on that side of bar. We move with our drinks and plates. Within 5 minutes, two women sit at same 6-​top table. He never came by to ask them to leave. He never came to us to apologize. We will never go back to JTB.

Decent prices, very good wings! Bartender and other staff very personable! would definitely make a return trip.

We were there on a Sat. when Just Add Beer (Dad Band) was playing.. Their kids and entire family took up all the good tables. They took seats from paying patrons.

Good sports bar. No NTN, but that’s okay. Did New years for rocking in2012. «Just Add Beer» was playing. That was a hoot!
