    This is the place to be if you enjoy having a drink, a cigar, peace of mind and some great guy talk amongst friends and strangers as well. My friend mentioned that he had heard of this place and wanted to check it out. So, we had a friend fly in from Hawaii who wanted to go out and we decided on this place. We arrived behind the establishment and walked around to get the the lounge but did notice some parking in front. The only reason I mention this is just incase someone reads this and has an issue with parking. There are clubs and bars around so this could be a helpful tip. Anyway, upon arrival the place looks small with maybe 4 recliners, the cash register and the cigar steam humidified room with a large selection of cigars. Once you select your cigar, Mario (great guy at the front), lights you up and directs you to the back where all the action takes place! ** The cover was $10 a person and they have a yearly membership fee of $480 and that includes year round access and you can bring up to ten guess with the $10 cover charge waived for each person. They also have personal lockers which are $50 I believe (don't quote me). Police, fire and military get a yearly membership at the discounted price of $300. ** Ok back to the lounge, as you walk through the hallway, you open the door and you're greeted by a room with about 15 TVs, a bar, and some high stools. I believe this is where they host sports events and for people to smoke and socialize. Then you have the option to proceed even further to another room which is the lounge area with large couches, recliners, tv's, shuffle board and a jukebox. The vibe was dope and everyone was cool. They have a waitress who comes to see if you would like any drinks from the bar and keeps your water glasses topped off. Overall, this is a lounge we will be attending frequently, and we may possibly get a membership. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

    Classic old school lounge. Great drinks, cigars and service. Been a long time member there. One of the OG's. Come in check them out and get a membership. It is a private lounge.

    This is actually a really nice cigar lounge. They do have a full bar and the servers have always been very nice and accommodating. They have a nice selection of cigars and you can order food from restaurants in the area and food will be delivered directly to your table.

    Stopped in after dinner and drinks for a cigar and, yes, more drinks. This place is the perfect vertex point of chill and class as far as cigar lounges go, it's one of my faves as I can come here at any time with any type of group and I know they'll enjoy themselves. The bar is stocked with a good arrangement of bourbon, and they have a good selection of cigars. If you haven't been here yet then I recommend that you do. :)

    Finally checked this place out. It's awesome, will definitely go again. Friendly staff, excellent bar, cool clientele. Plenty of TVs with sports on. A back room with leather coaches. Loved the vibe.

    I prefer my cigar lounges quieter with jazz, but this being one of the last cigar bar bastions in California, I'm all for the more raucous atmosphere! Also met Peter and Joey who are great people. The humidor keeps the cigars well; my Padron had an easy drag so I had to slow down between drags to prevent burning it, and the construction wasn't defective in anyway, giving it a clean flat burnline all the way down. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Great place to escape and hang out with the boys. Dude at the front is very helpful and has great knowledge about cigars. Recommend some fantastic cigars to me. Bro at the bar was also very chill and attentive. Will be recommending to my friends and colleagues.

Then I got a white claw, this part is my mistake I guess but I didn't know , but I went to step outside for a moment to get some fresh air and security came outside and aggressively SNATCHED my white claw and threw it away, I was stunned. He ended up feeling bad because I cried because I'm sensitive lol and gave me a new white claw but that whole thing was just uncalled for and crazy - a simple "hey you can't have that outside either throw it away or come back in" would have done fine. THEN, and yall; I was a little lit but not drunk drunk, I was talking to the bar tender we were chopping it up and having a good talk then this girl who I said I hi to thought I was hitting on her and I told her I was married to a man and then I asked her "did you think I was hitting on you" she dismissed me but then apparently she told the bar tender that I did something because I was ASKED TO LEAVE - I have never in my life written a review for anywhere and I also have never EVER been escorted out of a bar at all let alone for no valid reason. I wish it went better because love dancing and it's a place to dance near my house but i definitely will never be back and would NOT reccomend this bar to anyone ever.

However, you don't always want to feel like you're trying too hard to change your scenery, bumping you too far out of your comfort zone. The answer my friends, is the good old classic American dive bar. Now, many places like to call themselves a dive bar just because they never clean a single inch of their establishment and have seedy patrons that love to play the more than occasional 80's songs on the jukebox but don't be mistaken, a good dive bar is hard to find. Well, I happen to have found one and it's in Fullerton of all places. That's right, Fullerton, not Los Angeles, nor Hollywood nor some pop-culturally over-hyped city. What makes The Blue Door a good dive bar? First, there's earned consistency & routine. The drinks won't always be made well, or the bartender won't always be attentive but if you come a few times, you'll soon know at what time and day the drinks are made properly by knowing the schedules of the bartenders. Secondly, the drinks are stiff, the service is friendly and nobody bothers you unless you bother them. The atmosphere goes from lively and loud to quiet and solitary, again depending upon when you visit. Lastly, they're open from 6:00AM-2:00AM. They're not just there when the hipsters are around, they're there for you whenever you make the bad decision of using alcohol as an anesthetic. Stay searching for the last remains of Americana my friends....

The Blind Rabbit is in building B (I think... 2 story building right off the main road). A reservation is highly recommended, as this spot can only hold about 30 people. As I went alone, my reservation was for a bar seat, which was cool as I was able to watch the bartenders make lots of very cool shaken and stirred drinks. This place serves absinthe drinks plus absinthe served the traditional way (cold water on sugar cube into the alcohol). I did not try that, but was tempted. My pineapple old fashioned (Retired Old Man was what Sergio (bartender) told me) was very tasty. The Tamerand Marg with mezcal that I tried next was just okay (should have stuck with the whiskey!). The ambience is great, but it is quite dark inside. Use the light under the bar top to read the menu. There is food available. I tried the crabcake and thoroughly enjoyed it! If you go looking for the entrance, look for the "boxes" stacked against the wall and the black bunny handle (next to a hostess station that may/may not be staffed). Photos were highly discouraged, so I respected their wishes and just enjoyed the moment. I hope you enjoy it too!
