My girls Rebel and Ashlynn made my Bff/Sisters Bachelorette party a total Blast. Such a vibe. This place was so chill. Thank you ladies for an amazing time. Best bartenders I've ever experienced. 10/10 Can't wait to do it again soon. read more

Owner out last night for some after dinner festivities. Always wanted to check the place out and it didn't disappoint. Bartenders were friendly and poured our beers fast full and and cold. Music was thumping last night so the ladies were dancing and even enjoyed trialing the brass pole . They got their groove on and the boys had fun watching . Overall a fun time out! Would go again down the road with my lady or friends. read more

Pee smell :( Came on a Sunday night so it's kind of our fault for how dead it was. Cute and quaint read more

We've been skipping this place on our bar hop lately but decided to give it one more try, and lucky! There was a fine ass karaoke host this Friday! Singing and dancing the night away with my girls! Back on our bar hop list! read more

Great little bar. I went really to buy t shirts for the family members. Love the vibe.

5-Star Review - Batter Beaver, Oakdale, CA Hands down, Batter Beaver is one of the best bar vibes you'll find in Oakdale! I'm from the Bay Area, and every time I walk in here, it feels like a little piece of home -- from the energy to the playlist. They play all the Bay Area classics -- E-40, Too $hort, Mac Dre -- you name it. If you know, you know. The staff is always super friendly and down-to-earth. Whether you're there for a casual drink, a night out with friends, or just want to catch a good vibe, they always make you feel welcome. The crowd is chill, the drinks are solid, and there's always good music and good people around. read more

First. Change the name. It's a complete embarrassment to the town. The first time I came back to Oakdale after living elsewhere for years. I pulled up to that stoplight and cringed. The place has been a place for violence and worse ever since. People fight out back. Hub for illegal things and just not a positive vibe. A Dive. Change the name to something appropriate and fun and begin a positive atmosphere. Terrible environment to even have a beer. Not recommended. read more

Excellent locals bar. Fun spot with darts and lots of room. Great drinks and large bar with plenty of seats. Only open at night though. Worth a stop! See you there read more

Battered Beaver - Bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Oakdale, California

Exactly what I wanted when I needed it. Wish they still had poker nights because I'd go more often.

I used to like this place. Last night my friend and I went there. The DJ was playing some pretty derogatory music. It was bad enough that we asked if he would play anything happier. But he continued to play some terrible music. So we left. Security was great though. read more

I don't drink but I was The DD for my friends, it seemed ok a bit rowdy to me. The drinks looked well made & prices were good. The taco truck out front was definitely delicious. read more

The bouncer deserves a raise. This place was a blast! They could use some more bathrooms. read more

Battered Beaver - a neon sign in the window of a restaurant - Dive Bars Near Me - Oakdale, California

Ok, so this place has most certainly improved. Aubree is an amazing bartender, drinks are allowed out back (which was my gripe previously) and in the last several times I have been in not so much as a hint of trouble from anyone! They are also generally one if the only bars that are open until 2am. It's good to have someone to count on! Two new looking pool tables, a dart board, all this place is missing now is shuffleboard. Total turn around. Very deserving of this improved review. Wish they had ginger ale though! Parking is also kind of an issue. Not terrible though. Don't sweat that it's not a five star review. Those are unicorns. If you see one capture it, study it, find out what's necessary to replicate it. It's mythical! Good work guys and gals. Thanks for great service and being warm and welcoming! We will check you out again sometime for sure! read more

Had to go to this place just because of the silly name! Nothin' special, just a little dive bar in a little country town. Bartender was very nice and personable and the drinks are cheap. Swing by if your in town....the local patrons are super friendly too. read more

Battered Beaver - Dive Bars Near Me - Oakdale, California

Idk what's with name. I've never seen one battered beaver in here. They have a lot of cool bands here. Fridays you can experience what happens when rap music gets introduced to the cowboy capital Its pretty wild. They have a random stripper pole there that this one girl just had to stay on all night. Oh an if the bathrooms are busy. There's a great place to pee out back. read more

"The Beav" has kick ass bartenders and booty shakin music! The security has got it down so the knuckleheads don't get out of control. The drinks are cheap and most of the people are really laid back and there to have a good time. (Every bar has an idiot or 2 come through every once in a while) On that note, I recommend this spot to anyone willing to have a good time with some good peeps! (for a great price...times are tuff people)lol Also if your a smoker like me they have a huge smoking patio out back which is a huge + read more

I ended up getting talked into going to see a band at this place not too long ago. The band was great, the drinks were good, and I love the atmosphere... but I could have done without the bartender with attitude from hell. This is a no nonsense bar filled with a mixture of different people. Young, old, pretentious, and the all important "Who gives a shit" people. I found the mix to be comforting. The bathroom arrangements are kind of weird. You actually have to pass through the band and wait in line for the restroom. Kinda felt like you were in "I gotta pee" spotlight. The women take dreadfully long to urinate so I opted for the mens rooms.. and to my dismay.. NO MIRROR! The horror! But I made due. Also, back smoking patio for my smoker friends. If are lucky enough you can watch a couple trashed girls get down with the ranchers..sloppily spilling their drinks on the "dance floor" and ooo so gracefully slipping and falling on their own mess. I wasn't sure if I was more entertained by the band or the beyond wasted bimbos who were clearly over served. (I heart people watching!) Even though I got a little hammered.. watched some girl try to work herself on my man and the bartenders attitude.. it was a good night! read more

I like this place. Yes, the name is odd. Some may even read between the lines and call it borderline offensive but, I'm not one of them. My friend knows the owner and has taken us there a couple of times. He's really friendly, and looks like a bouncer, rather than a bartender. It can get a bit crowded in there, but what bar doesn't get a little crowded when the drinking crowd rolls in? read more

Battered Beaver........ Now say it four times fast! Regardless of you're past experiences or expectations at the bar; tell me that doesn't bring a smile to your face. Centrally located for those in transit from the Bay Area to Yosemite or Dodge Ridge, and a great destination for a quick mid evening drink this past Friday. Exterior has seen better days; I would go so far to say it has been properly battered. Interior was surprisingly not as much of a dive as expected; I could see the floor and the bar wasn't covered in a mysterious film. Definitely a place where the good ol boys come to hang out, but all were friendly and drinks were cheap during my visit. read more

Went tonight to have some drinks and to celebrate a bride to be. Music was on point! But the bar was under staffed!! Bartenders were nice but very over worked. At least 15-20mins to get drinks. No one wants to wait that long when good songs are on! More people tending bar and this would be the spot! read more

I have only been to this place once a few months ago...I went with an Old friend of mine Lisa and our frined Amy. Sunday afternoon with a few friends...great place to watch football...and have a few beers. From what I understand the owenrs are great and this is a great place to hang out! read more

Was very skeptical about this place as I've been driving past it for years. Last night we decided to stay low key in town for st patty's day and ended up here. Wasn't bad at all. Drinks were good and fairly priced. The two gals bartender were very nice. Crowd was good too. I'd come back again. read more

Bartender, Jeanice Crea, was awesome. Not only makes a great Manhattan, she is smart, witty, well travelled and has so much to offer a conversation. Thanks for the nice time Jeanice. read more

Battered Beaver - Jeanice, the bartender! - Dive Bars Near Me - Oakdale, California

Great service and great bartenders! They always have something going on.. FREE poker/pool and ladies nights and DJs!!

VERY DISAPPOINTED... I came here with friends from out of town expecting for the bartender and occupants to make fun of us for taking pictures of the logo outside - completely ignored us. Ok, little disappointed at this point but not a game changer. Had heard great reviews of the dumpster out back, although due to the lack of patrons at the bar that night the restroom was never occupied. At this point my patience is running thin. I go outside for a smoke, hoping someone will do me the great honor of punching me in the nose, at least give me a little something to take home, nope. Nothing said disappointment or lackluster like the battered beaver, save yourself the time, don't come in here. read more

My cousin and I planned on coming here because we wanted a dive bar and the name was perfect... We were underwhelmed when we actually arrived.. It wasn't really a dive bar. It was a bar, with many an odd guy. The DJ had his mic up so loud my eardrums felt like they were going to burst when he was talking. The "dance floor" was a 4x4 foot area next to a pool table.. It just, wasn't good. read more

Great establishment! I love this place! Damen get on those t-shirts and tank tops buddy!!!!!

This bar is dirty. It is always humid inside from the amount of people. The staff is less than impressive and the drinks are poor quality. I would recommend H-B Saloon over this bar. read more

Least favorite bar in Oakdale, would rather drive to the 108 in riverbank where they can atleast make a mixed drink.

So I was stranded in Oakdale when my car broke down. I was stuck there for 4 days, but it gave me solace that the bartender at Battered Beaver kept my spirits up. Kacey was just too great. The regulars there are also great people to interact with. I never imagined this half Japanese guy to get along with such a cowboy town. I have to say, everyone here is awesome. read more

Not a bad place to hang out with friends. We go there because its in town. My friends and I go there just about every thursday for ladies night and most weekends again on friday or saturday. HOWEVER, the last time I was there I paid for some drinks and a pitcher with a tip and the bartender got me my drinks but forgot the pitcher. I waited awhile and reminded her of my pitcher, she said "sorry, I forgot." and then took a few other peoples orders before finishing mine. For the rest of the night whenever I ordered anything it seemed as if I was being ignored ON PURPOSE! Sure enough, later on after she took a drink order from me she said, " If you wanna know why it takes a long time for you to get your drinks its because you don't tip.' Which is ridiculous because the vary first order she took from me I gave her a tip and she re-payed me by forgetting my order and then taking longer to get back to me on purpose. * Cool local bar * Bartenders can be very rude * Very fight prone read more

Great little bar in Oakdale. We stopped by around 6pm and everyone was pretty buzzed. Couple of aggressive folks in the bar but the drinks were cheap. Nice place to hang out. read more

I had a good experience here. I had a lot of fun here. I was pleased with the friendly bartenders. Free pool on Tuesdays. Thats definitely a plus. The jukebox is a little pricey. Other than that its a great little bar. Especially for Oakdale. I didnt see any hostility like i read about in other reviews. read more

I love the beav because the DJ always plays we found love when I request it and that is my jam! Dead.

Thank you Greg for taking the time to make me exactly what I wanted, loved my Jolly Rancher drinks!

The Beav is alot of fun. alot of locals come out. mainly thursday nights which is ladys nigh.. gets poopin like a saturday night would normally be. drinks are buy one get 1 free on anything.. great deal, go there all the time used to go every week.....more like a club then a bar depending what night you go... Mel is a awesome bartender read more

This place was awful. I'm 29 and just moved here and had friends in town, so we went here to grab a drink. I took a photo of the unique logo outside the glass window (a beaten up beaver very classy) to "check in" on Facebook. When we walked in, the bartender and regular drunks sitting at the bar (it was 8:30pm, pretty early) all looked pissed off clearly that I took a picture of their precious logo of a beaten up beaver (the whole purpose of unique logos is advertising and getting attention by the way) and proceeded to stare us down intensely and make comments. We all just smiled and sat down trying to ignore it. Then the trashy haggard looking bartender refused to come serve or acknowledge us, and laughed blatantly about it with the other idiots. She even walked right in front of us for no reason, then walked back to the other end and was cracking up. We stayed 15 minutes waiting, staring at the run down interior, including a stripper pole. We finally just left, with them laughing their unclassy asses off proud of their accomplishment of their lives. Good job stupid, that's probably $100 in revenue lost for the owner, plus I'm an ex server, and tip very well. It was a horrifying experience and that bartender is an embarrassment to all employees. This place is known for a super young trashy crowd, constant bar fights, and flat out trouble. The name alone says it all. You couldn't pay me to go back there. read more

I went to the Battered Beaver to see a friends band play there. It is a really nice place now. I havent been there since it was The Dugout but they really changed the place up a lot. They have DJ's on Thursday and Fridays and Live music on Saturdays. Great bartenders and a friendly environment. Not your typical dive bar. read more
