I give them one star on food, because they don't serve food, it is a bar, it's a good atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Excuse it can be rather loud, so if you're wanting to talk to get to know someone it can prove to be difficult.

Only reason why am giving this place 2 stars is because... The A/C was set at 79 with about 35 ppl in here. Ask Bartender if she could lower it are open a door she said she couldn't. One of customers said new owner has it's set up like that. Unfortunately I couldn't just leave because I was there for league. Instead Sat in my car waiting for my turn to play.

I had a blast here when I went last year! The bartender Shayla treated my group and I with a warm welcome and had us laughing the whole time. She even introduced me to one of my favorite drinks, a shot of buttery nipple, when I asked her to make something sweet to surprise me. The place is a cool vibe, kinda feels like a western saloon, and Shayla was the cherry on top, super witty and welcoming. Next time I’m in town I’ll make sure to stop by again! Only wish there were more food options, but the snacks were a nice touch 👍🏾👍🏾

No food, cheap drinks, pool, paid juke box, last call at 1:15 am. This pretty much summarizes the place. Love it it hate it, up to you. Free popcorn.....z

I had a good time here on a Saturday night! Seriously, have never seen such a diverse crowd in my life! Every age, race, orientation. The 2 pool tables were full the entire night, unfortunately. Better put your name on the board & be able to win the table if you want to play with friends.

One other thing - Google told me they had free jukebox on Saturday nights after 8pm (staff load it up with money, a review said). This was not true. The jukebox was pretty well occupied already by 8pm, so it was $1 to play a song, hopefully, at some point, or $5 to move the song to the front of the line. That's an absurd price, so I wasn't able to pick any tunes. My friends & I enjoyed some conversation & tall mugs of beer, surrounded by good energy & other people's unremarkable music selections. =)

Jess is my favourite bartender. I trust her to make me a tasty cocktail whenever I cant decide on what I want (which is usually the case). She has the best customer service, very attentive and friendly. Small bar but I go for the pool whenever Im in the area. They have two diamond tables. You can bring your own food. Theres a good pizza/Italian spot next door and a Mexican restaurant nearby too. Also, the cleanest womens restroom in all the bars Ive been to in the area and thats a huge plus in my book.

Cool little dive in Brea that has a good mix of patrons. They have a juke box, darts and pool. The drinks are reasonably priced.

This is an truly excellent bar. It is not a Dive Bar as all small bars tend to be called in California. Its a neighborhood bar. It is exceptionally clean (including the bathroom) and the bartenders are friendly and fully clothed. I took my wife here without fear of recriminations. :) A 22 Ounce IPA costs $5.75. Not $7. Not $11. I am now a fan and a loyal customer.

The bartenders are full blown racist! It started off with the bartender named Stacy. Before I opened my tab at the bar I told her how I was going to pay with cash because I knew it was no money on the card I gave her. I was ready to close out, and instead of her just bringing me the receipt she closes me out on my card anyway and then yell its only 75 cents on this card! I was so embarrassed, and bothered at the fact that as a bartender she just couldnt bring me the receipt so I can see what I owe. When I ask her why she just didnt bring me the receipt, because originally I told you I was paying in cash. She started to yell at me then walked away without even simply apologizing for her mistake! So Im talking to the person I came there with explaining to her how unprofessional and disrespectful the bartender is. Stacy the bartender is still yelling at me. So I told her to please just stop talking to me. After I said that to her. She tells me to get the hell out of her bar! Then another bartender comes on the shift blonde hair chick. Stacy tells her to call the cops and get this girl out of here. And the blonde was on the phone calling someone to get me out of the bar! I never felt so disrespected in my life. Stacy the bartender treated me like my money did not matter, she didnt care that I was there to have a good time like everyone else. She only cared about embarrassing me, and trying to threaten me with the cops for doing absolutely nothing wrong! If anything she was the one taking shots on the clock, and was also in the wrong for hitting my card when I asked her not to, then yelling at me in front of other customers. I will never go back to this bar again!
