Love this bar. It does open at 6am. If you are awarded enough to be served by Walt, you are blessed and fortunate. read more

The Corner Pocket is dead. Long live the Corner Pocket! New owners took over in November 2025 and have quickly alienated loyal regulars, increased jukebox prices, blocked metal rock & roll and hip hop songs, hired "little hotties" instead of competent bartenders, eliminated full-time jobs, cancelled in-house pool tournaments, and even ran off the Sunday night APA pool league! They added a few big TV's though. The thing they are missing is that people can watch big TVs at home. Customers come to the Corner Pocket for something unique, forged over decades. What made the Corner Pocket so special is going away fast. If you can tolerate non-stop country music, don't appreciate a diverse local crowd, hate low-key dive bar vibes, embrace higher prices, reject friendly games of pool, and detest the warm camaraderie of local folks, then maybe the new "Cornered Pocket" is your kind of place now... I'll go elsewhere to spend my hard earned money. Best of luck to the new cowboys! read more

Corner Pocket - New Logo - Pool Halls Near Me - Stanton, California

It's a cool bar. It's just several miles from my house. I've been there just to see a couple of the bartenders. The owner also owns a local bar to me however, I'm not allowed in that bar for some reason? read more

Upbeat, friendly and good people. Pool, darts, and decent prices for beer. All around cool place to go out for a few drinks.

Friday night with Tina! Good drinks and fun dive bar atmosphere with great service. Food trucks are a great addition.

If you're looking for a cheap dive bar , this is the place . Drinks were so cheap ! They also had $2 hotdogs too and they weren't bad . I think it was better than Costco hotdogs. The downside of it, is that they only take cash. Just make sure you pull out a lot of cash if you want to drink longer read more

Found a new secret spot! I love this little dive bar! My server was Mary and what a sweetheart! Great conversation. Freezing cold glasses to go with the ice cold beer! TouchTunes jukebox so you can play what you like. Eclectic mix of customers who are extremely friendly. I Love this place! Definitely will be back! Highly recommend to those who want a chill and relaxed environment with zero drama, reasonably priced drinks and good conversation... if you want it. :) Thank you, Mary! We will see you again! read more

Went in on a Friday night. Two bartenders. Maybe 20 people inside. Dj playing good music and then a cute blonde girl was singing. Taco guy outside. We definitely enjoyed that and the dude was so so cool! The brunette bartender was super cool(maybe in her late 40's early 50's) looks Hispanic...then there was the younger-ish(maybe mid 40's) very big blonde woman wearing.....FLIP FLOPS behind a bar(total safety issue and bizarre) and paying too much attention to one man sitting at the bar to even walk over and get our drinks. The brunette woman was hustling and getting everyone everything while the very big blonde woman just stood there flirting with one customer. The brunette can handle that place solo and the blonde should just go home with her man or something... lol. She even made a motion to our group like "get out" when we were leaving meanwhile the brunette thanked us with a smile. That blonde woman was either drunk, insecure or just a terrible employee.... maybe all of the above. Ha! I hope they don't share tips cuz the brunette should take every cent and run! read more

I have known of this place for a while. It was my grandfathers go to place. Even years after he quit drinking he would go just for the company and the kindness of the locals and amazing bartenders Alexis and Mo. My grandfather sadly passed away January 30 2022 and the bar helped me put together a Memorial in his memory. It turned out amazing and I couldn't have done it without the help of the bar staff and locals. You want a small bar experience where you feel at home this is it. I can see why this place meant so much to my grandfather. ​ read more

I can not say enough good about this place , Mo ( Monique ) is by far the best Bartender I've come across , I'm 57 & have been drinking a couple of years ... if your looking for a no stress good time try The Corner Pocket ! Finally a place where the Bartenders aren't stifled by the owner . Re: Bottoms up ! Thank you no for being the best bartender & friend I've ever known . read more

Great place to get a reasonably priced drink. People are friendly. Their customers are treated like family. They have 2 pool tables and lots of tvs to watch your favorite game. read more

Joined a couples pool league on Tuesday. Great people lots of fun and at the end the very kind owner gives prizes to the winning teams. They also have a great taco / food guy on Tuesday. I have ordered Pork chops and ribeye steak and they were delicious. Yes I also have enjoyed his tacos and other items. Corner pocket has a happy couple hours from 5-7pm . Best prices in Stanton read more

Was introduced to this place by a friend and we've been frequenting this place lately usually around the earlier hours mostly due to our work schedule since it consists of night hours. Every time we've been there are usually a decent amount of people just hanging out. We go there to play pool and have drinks and pool is free until 4pm. We aren't usually there that long but they have reasonable drink prices and more than likely will keep coming back. Free pool, nice atmosphere for a dive bar and the locals are nice and the staff is nice and welcoming. Haven't gone at night or when they might be busier so don't know how the atmosphere is around there but so far can't complain at all and will keep coming back and willing to see how it is during different hours then I have attended to. read more

If you want to shoot some pool this is the place to be every one in the bar can shoot. Monday tourney and Saturday. It's a low key spot with cheap drinks and Jell-O shots ! Rackem up ! read more

Corner Pocket - Pool Halls Near Me - Stanton, California

Let me start off by saying, the Cleanest Dive bar. You walk in and immediately get that Cheers feeling, everyone knows everyone. Bartenders are amazing, drink prices ARE the cheapest around. Coldest beer!! Pool is usually free during the day, with tournaments on Saturday afternoon or Monday evening (not for professional player) they just like having fun. It's really a great bar.!! read more

Came here early evening . Far cry from what it used to be. The bar person was not friendly at all. when was given my my drink, i said kind of war pour She snapped back that's a double. Ha HA i have the same drink at other places and there pour is better r for less money. Yea the price is high here for this type if place. My wife drink was a stright up with water back. She gave here a glass of water. no ice nothing. Then all of a sudden a saw one of the other customers walk behind the bar and puluged the fan and just threw it next to the wall by pool table. The floor even looked dirty and trashy. Again the bar lady was not friendly at all. Not going back there again. read more

I'm an asshole so you can disregard this review. This is what happens when you're a cheapskate like me. You find a place that does $0.50 a game of pool verses $7 or more at another place. As a gullible penny pincher I go there with a friend of mine and.. what a dump! Listen, I bet people love crappy dark hole in the wall bars where the regulars know each other and probably swap diseases. They probably especially like it when they blast shitty testosterone-explosion music and nu-metal all night. What a horrible place. read more

This is the ultimate dive bar... I have been here on a couple occassions. if your looking for the epitomy of dives youve found it. this place is not a rdone up dive nor is it a "try to dive" dive bar. Two pool tables, about 7 ft of bar and another 20ft of wall with a counter.. Large glass/schooners are about $5. If your in the area its worth a stop in just to check it out.. read more

This is the kind of place you go to get f'd up and forget your problems or hang out with friends and drink on the cheap. It is a dive bar, no pretenses no bullshit. They have plenty of liquor choices and the most popular stuff on tap. Its cash-only, but they have an ATM on site. Food? There's a menu of sorts, but nothing beyond stuff they heat up or chips and pizza. I've seen people bring outside food in though. What's great is depending on the night, you'll see a pretty eclectic mix of people there. It isn't a "biker bar" or a "hipster bar" or whatever. Its pretty casual, and people are generally friendly. Plus the drinks are cheap. Its definitely a haunt for my friends and I. Come say hi, or celebrate with liquid libations, or drink your depression away. Everyone seems to have their own reason, but it doesn't matter. The CP is where to go. read more

All the bartenders so far have been super nice and attentive. They also all make pretty MEAN drinks. Kicks you right in the baby makers. read more

See all

This is by far my favorite bar to go to. I am not usually in to going out to bars, but I go here almost every week. The bartenders are all awesome, and you cant beat the prices. Having only 2 pool tables and going on a friday or saturday can sometimes be a drag, but almost everyone I've ran into there is really friendly. It totally has that hole in the wall dive bar feel, but on most night I see a younger crowd, so there are a lot of people to meet there. And again, you cant beat the prices. Go and check it out. read more

Small. Hot. Stuffy. Terrible beer taps. The people are an odd bunch. The bartenders are just ok besides Dana. She's good.Some great, most not so great. They have pool tournaments on Saturday's and Monday's. However, only go if you want to get chewed out by the lady who runs the tournaments, Renee. Mary and the owner are personal she lets Renee go anything. She is one of the rudest people I have ever met. The owner and his girlfriend Mary are EXTREMELY unprofessional and have no respect for their customers. They also treat their regulars like garbage. Regulars are 99% of there customer base. It's like a weird dysfunctional family that plays favorites when it's convenient for them. Customer service? They don't know what that is. I've never experienced worse customer service at a bar before. I'm from Las Vegas too. I've worked in the industry. Soo terrible. Service is very slow. I never complain I try to always be respectful. My boyfriend and I go here ALLLL of the time. My bf has been going ten years and I've been going there for two years since i moved here from Las Vegas . We are always polite, respectful and tip quite well. Definitely not trouble makers and get along with everyone. Today I ordered 2 water's and a 7up. He orders beer. We were there playing the tournament today for a few hours. I was walking in and out with my non alcoholic beverages the whole time I was there. When we were cashing out our tab after the tournament. Mary calls on me to come around and talk to her. She started lecturing and accusing me of stealing her glass and drinking alcohol outside of the bar. Talking at me like I was a child In front of all the customers. She treated me like I was some one timer she didn't know or trust. Assume I was purposely doing something wrong, I was liar, and a thief. My drink was soda and water. She poured them. I left crying and feeling disrespected. I will never go back to that bar and give them anymore of my money. read more

All I can say is DAYNA is the best!!! She makes this bar for sure... The atmosphere is great and the regulars are awesome ... You won't regret stopping by read more

This place is amazing. The crowd is super friendly and the atmosphere is calm. I've never seen a bar as clean as this one either. Plus Mary, the bartender is absolutely fantastic, super kind and funny. Don't forget the $1 Jell-O shots!! (Also a little birdy told me they're planning on serving white claws soon ) read more

Most friendly dive bar w best bartenders and regulars and fun open pool leagues on weekends tables are always open. Good drinks

Great place to come and get a tall beer and not feel as if your getting ripped off. They have a full bar and charge a fair price. Has pool tables and a jukebox friendly staff. It could use a remodel but that would just raise the cost so i'm just fine with how it is read more

Good prices on beer, And the pool tables are good. Its a dive bar, But thats why I like it :)

Where else can you get a 32oz beer for $5.75?! The girls behind the counter are always cool and the TouchTunes juke box can be played from the free app (for your smart phone, stupid)! read more

Good vibe and loos like a relaxing place to hang out with friends and play some pool! Make sure you check the restrooms ;)

Only giving 1 star so I can give this "review". I was a long time customer until I was astounded by the unprofessionalism and discourtesy shown to me on a particular evening by an employee of this establishment. Overall, I've been told that I'm an easy going individual but I felt that this behavior was completely out of line and uncalled for. I have yet to return to this bar read more

This is the definition of a dive bar. It's been around forever you have the group of regulars and the beer is big and cheap. The only reason it doesn't get a better score is because it's run down and needs and update but then I guess it wouldn't be a dive bar right. read more

This is a pretty laid back place to hang out. Nice people, the bartender is kind of slow but the people there make up for that. Nice place!!! read more

Been going here for a minute. Love the country atmoshphere.....

This is pretty good for a neighborhood dive bar location. Mary, Dana, Deanna and the other bartenders that serve there give you a nice feeling. I never had a rude or lazy bartender. The people that come there are very nice and friendly. Located right near the Stanton Industrial Park area off of Dale, is kind of hard to find sometimes. Good cold beer, some craft beers, cocktails that are not poured short, and limited munchies. Located right near Harry's Cafe off of Katella Ave. read more

The Corner Pocket is a fun, comfortable, neighborhood bar. The bartenders, manager and owners are great people. The customers/regulars are friendly. If it's you first time there, they will definitely make you feel welcome. They have two pool tables and tournaments on the weekend. Drinks are potent and inexpensive. Come in once and you'll be back! read more

This is a great little place for a game of pool an a beer. Friendly an very customer care atmosphere. Love it

My friend and I went in last week for Monday night football and were extremely impressed by the security guard that greeted us at the door. He was friendly and personable as he held the door open for us. Throughout the night we noticed he did this for all who came in that night. Later we learned, after watching him clear and wipe tables, empty ash trays etc, that he went by the name of "D". I am a retail manager myself and would consider myself blessed if I had an employee like him on my team. He displayed the qualities of a team player a hard worker and excellent customer service skills. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a positive place to watch football and hangout. read more

Not even a tweaker bar....great people and all ages and incomes. Come in and find out for yourself. Not many bar's around like this anymore
