This damn poor excuse of a bar wasted my damn time this weekend!! I show up and my chic forgot het ID and they didn't let her stay! I would understand if it were the first time going but we frequent cups at least 2-3 times a month and they knew her and still didn't let her stay! What kind of dump does that!?! Makes me sick! And she looks 30 years old!! I'd understand if she looked 20 but she looks older than, this was a slap in the face! I will NEVER step foot in cups again! Rush bar here I come! read more

Bartenders are horrible. So unpleasant unless you know someone, you're an outcast. We t there and the bartender had a problem the minute I walked in. read more

Awesome, friendly service. My bartender Jeannie made some great shots! The bar has two pool tables that were recently relined. You can also play your own music on the jukebox! read more

Been awhile. Don't remember anything specific but know I won't be back. I do remember they don't have my husband's Gin, Beefeater and the back door was open and we couldn't get away from the skunkweed smoke coming in. I don't care if you smoke but I don't want it permeating my clothes. Just not for me. Bummer, it's so close but I won't go back. read more

No food except for chips because the cook didn't show up. Beer is cold and drinks are cheap. Pool .75 and darts are confusing maybe $.50 per person. Either way awesome sauce. The jukebox $10 gets you full control for an hour basically. I'm not sure if the holes in the ceiling are bullet related or just errant pool cues? Either way best bar in Buena Park. read more

Looking for a local dive bar? This is the place. It's not a destination but if you're local to the area, it's a good drop in. Cold beer, hip-hop, and that dive bar shady vibe feel? It's all here. Can't complain about a cold draft. read more

Always great. Basic local dive bar with great prices and terrific service. Sarah was the perfect bartender tonight.

I walked in and the smell of dirty mop slapped me across my face! At that point I wasn't sure if I needed to call the cops or to put on my boxing glove. One thing I do know is I won't be back! read more

I love this bar , every time I get a chance to stop i do , always great staff and friendly people , prices are good as well thanks for everything cant wait to see you again read more

Came here after Medieval Times based off other reviews but boy were they wrong. Staff were extremely rude to my party of 12 as we walked in. They explained that we rushed in and didn't show ID when no one was at the door to even check them. There were only a handful of people inside at the time and I asked the lady at the bar what beers do they have since they didn't have Coor's Banquet. She explained to me that she wasn't going to list 30 different beers and that she was extremely busy. Also the bar and bathrooms were extremely dirty and looks like it hasn't been kept up in years. My group could tell they were annoyed with us being there so we took our business elsewhere. Would NOT recommend coming here for any occasion. read more

I accidentally left my card open with bartender female . I went back the next day to get it. My bank informed me that fraud was made off $300 .. making me wonder did she give my info to someone because I never had this issue especially what a shame read more

Faith is the best ! Come thruuuu !! We love it here ! Yesss and pool and darts read more

Make sure you total up your bill completely and take a picture. Bartender used our totaled up amount, $75, to tip herself on a $65 bill making it $140 because I didn't write tip in on the tip line read more

Bartender outside, didn't acknowledge my arrival. Walked inside, waited for 15 minutes (thankfully the crowd was entertaining) Bartender still outside. Didn't acknowledge my leaving either. Will never recommend or return read more

Cups - Waited 15 minutes for a drink.... why? Because this is the only bartender and she's STILL outside smoking! WTH?! Don't waste your time! - Dive Bars Near Me - Buena Park, California

Bring ur own food when kitchen is closed. AMF on "special" depending on bartender. Come here when you don't want to drink alone. Mini pool tables, TVs, and a juke box for those trusting souls who put dollars in her slot. Parking is easy. There is a musty odor when you walk in the dark bar... read more

Yummy drinks the bartender can make BUT there is a terrible smell inside. Like mold or dew! Really gross. Cool vibes at the dive bar but again the smell.... Really gross :( read more

Good dive bar in Buena Park Ca. Ice cold beer at really good prices and they have some really good bartenders. Several dart boards and two pool tables with free pool during the week days to help you pass your time while enjoying your drink or food. Can get busy at night and on weekends so get there early. read more

Awesome dive bar!!! Found this place on yelp on our way to Knotts Berry Farm! Faith the bartender is freaking amazing!! Great conversationalist, delicious drinks and funny as hell! Great vibes with the regulars too! read more

Smells like someone just vomited and they have 50 car air fresheners hanging from the ceiling. We also spent money on Toni Braxton at their machine and they turned on bluetooth instead with no refund because they were so upset with our music choice. Why have the music box if people can't play what they want? Won't be back. read more

Excellent service. Chose this place for after party coming from Medieval Times with our company. They accommodated us 100 plus ppl with drinks and food. Great hot wings, delicious fries and tasty nachos. Staff was off the chain. Thank you much! Medline Wives & Drivers read more

If it isn't obvious enough from reading the rest of these reviews the stench will definitely be a problem stepping into this place. The only relief you'll find is that after 30 minutes you might get used to the smell like I did. Have they thought about fixing it? I don't know but I guess they figure since they're miserable with their lives why should you be comfortable with yours? Anyhow, the prices are decent or about on par with similar dive bars like this but god forbid you try to order something because when I did, Lindsey acted like I asked for her firstborn child and ignored me the rest of the night. The environment was about the only good thing I can say about this place. People playing pool having a good time and not afraid to say hello. I just don't know how they could do it in a miserable stink hole such as this. read more

They have 20 car air fresheners hanging from their recessed lavender ceiling. Now it smells like an Uber. read more

How sad I tired to get another beer yet the bartender was outside chatting it up having a smoke break. :/

Kitchen is now Open, 6pm till Midnight, Later if business is there. COME SHOW YOUR LOVE!! BEER is cold, pool tables free Sunday -Thursday, $0.75 Fri-Sat. Word going around is beat the Chef 8ball FREE FRIES ORDER!! Beat the Chef 9Ball FREE WING ORDER!!!! Test your skillz and your taste buds. Service is always Awesome!! read more

Terrible place! Smells bad and the bartenders always leave to smoke or talk outside. Waited forever for a drink and sometimes you can't even close out your tab! All the chairs suck too! read more

Easily the worst bar I've ever been too. I love dive bars, but this... this is bad. Bartenders a slow and less than stellar... but the worst part is.. the smell. This IS the worst smelling establishment I've ever been to. There are plenty of places to grab a drink near by... go anywhere but here. read more

Like many others this place has a very bad nasty smell coming from the drains. Active spores in the air might cause lung problems. Maybe the health department needs to investigate. Don't eat the food made in the back. The Asian couple are not sanitary friendly, I have watched them.. I have felt sick from some of it. That said, The bartenders & staff are friendly and good people. Yes, this is certainly a Dive Bar dated and decorated in 60-70's era. It's not completely clean and is run down inside. However it is a great place to hangout with friends and the regulars. So if you can get by the negatives of the place it's a great place. I have been stopping here for years off and on just to say hi and have a good drink and relax on the way home. Pool, Darts, Music and many TV's for your enjoyment and Cold drinks. I am sure this place would be a Grade A place if the owner would invest in it and fix it! Just clean out the drains, dust and clean it up would help! For less than 2k you could get it all cleaned up and clean the drains of the stink. Hint, a maid service and a plumber. I have also been stopping at The Cauldron across the street and I think I found my new stopping place on the way home. It's not a dive bar but It's clean, great food and great staff. read more

Stinks in here Smells like throw-up. It's like hanging out by a dirty dumpster. Beers were a decent price but smell was so awful I couldn't even finish it. read more

If you are trying to get a dive bar crowd, at least be clean. You walk in and the bar wreaks of nasty vomit in the bar, they need a deep cleaning or to do something with the sewers or whatever the issue is! Cheap drinks are not enough to make me stay. read more

Michelle was a great bartender, always keeping us safe and keeping a look out for all of us drinking. Great service ut even better customer service. read more

Awful drinks and smells bad but the staff are nice! I hate to say anything nasty about this place because it's a cool spot as far as people go and the location. However, it smells terrible and it's bad. The drinks are really bad to. Nominate them for Bar Rescue!!! read more

I went to Cups with a friend because we wanted a beer. It is located next to a Korean bbq restaurant and across from a Claim Jumper. Its a dive bar nothing special. The reason I am giving it 3 stars is because it had a funky smell, I noticed it when I first walked in. It was tolerable though and I got used to it. I felt like I was in a basement bar with the furniture choice and how chill the bartender was. The beers were decently priced. A big good sized Stella was $9, There were a lot of TV's around with sports playing and free pool. It was a nice place to stop by If you are in the area looking for some cheap drinks. We didn't see a kitchen so I don't think you can order food here so eat before you come. We went at 6:30 PM on a Friday afternoon. read more

Bartender was an asshole, really ruined the experience for me. The other bartender kinda made up for it, but was distracted drinking and playing on pool on the job. Drinks were decent, place looked dirty and had weird smell. read more

****I like to video part of my review for authenticity, I'm an actual helper and not a paid actor or promoter***** After running across this bar on yelp I noticed that a lot of people had complaints about the smell inside the bar. I just want to let you all know the smell is noticeable but it's bearable. The staff are quick to greet you and get drinks served. There were about 30 people in the bar on this particular night though so I'm not sure how they do with crowds. The drinks were not expensive either. Definitely give this place a try and don't be afraid of the reviews about the smell lol. Ps: Owner If there is something that can be done to make this place a little more nose friendly please do so. read more

Affordable drinks but smells and the bartenders always leave every 5 minutes for a "smoke break." It's very annoying when waiting at the bar with no bartender read more
