Cups is a cute little dive bar. I live really close by and always enjoy going with my friends after work. It's the perfect hangout if you're just looking for a quick drink. It does get a little too loud inside though to where I can't hear myself think and I feel the bathrooms can be a little more secure... the guys bathroom doesn't have a door so I've seen way too many guys taking a dump.. other than that I like the bar. read more

This place is horrible. When you first walk in, you smell a combination of vomit and mildew. The chairs are all ripped and have foam popping out. The tables were lot clean, and we had to ask for a rag to clean them ourselves since the people working were useless and not friendly. The barback with short black hair and glasses was so rude the entire time we were there. She refused to help us in any way and would barely talk to us when we asked for something. She made us feel so uncomfortable that we had to leave. I will never go back, nor would I ever recommend this place to anyone. read more

Bar stinks but Tiffany rocks! Super awesome to talk to and is a total sweet heart. Makes the bar worth going to.

Bartender was to busy taking selfies with her friends to tend to us new people. The security behind the bar checked our ID and then proceeded to ignore us and make other people drinks. It took a good 15 minutes to get a drink. Drinks were Strong as hell! They don't even have a soda wand. The soda for drinks is poured from iced 2 liters! Anywho.... They have fooseball which was fun Total dive bar with very nice locals and cheap drinks! read more

If you want a local fun and chill place to have good and cheap drinks come to this place .. Barbie the bartender is awesome and super hot !!Pool is free on weekdays if you wanna get your pool shark on .. Always a fun time here read more

Cool spot. Nice bartenders can't believe this dude is cimplaining about the seats. He may have torn a stocking on it.

New to the area and I decided to check this place out on my way home. Cool little bar to grab a quick beer before heading home lol and they usually have free pool. read more

This was a bar with a pretty great atmosphere. Bartender was a complete sweetheart. I'm very awkward at most bars, but she didn't make me feel out of place at all. The food was great, and it wasn't pricey! Went with some out of town friends and they loved it. I'll definitely be bringing my local friends here too! read more

Been here twice.....I can tell you with certainty that there are NO women in bikinis, the place smells like a cat has been living in it (and that's putting it nicely). No AC, drinks are warm....yea this is a "skip" . read more

Went after medeval times because it was the closest bar... not bad for a dive bar... they had cheap beer, tacos for $ 3 bucks, and a dj ... tacos are expensive but when I'm drinking ill pay anything for tacos!! All in all good bar if your in the area read more

Went here yesterday, found it through yelp. Had time to kill before dinner at Portillos and we found this awesome bar. the bartender monet?! was awesome, made me some strong drinks for $2.50. Sundays have great drink & beer specials. If you're by Knotts or Medieval Times, it's great for a cheap drink/dive bar/pool&darts. read more

We went to Pirates which was just up the street and stopped at Cups for a drink. It was just what we wanted, good beer, great atmosphere and no need to get dressed up. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking to chill out. read more

Found a 3 by 2 inch shard of glass at the bottom of my beer. We met other frequent patrons that assured us it was a piece of ice because they chill the glasses here. I was almost down to the bottom of my beer and realized the "ice" was still at the bottom of my glass. Scared of swallowing residual glass. The bar manager just stared at it and replaced it with a new beer with no regards to my health. Disgusting. read more

Seriously like... What in the actual fuck. I love dive bars don't get me wrong... But the smell of puke on the way to the bar pretty much sucked ass....made me and my friends turn right the fuck around... Damn shame... read more

Horrible. I had high expectations for this place because of the great reviews. Little did I know, we waited forever just to order. I wouldn't have minded if it were poppin. But considering we were the new clientele in bar of 8 people, all of whom have drinks already, you'd think it'd be easier to get the bartender's attention. Neeeeooppe! Completely ignored. So whatever, my boyfriend and I left very disgruntled. Should've stayed at the other bar we were at before. Beyond this, it's a ghetto spot that smells like smoke and vomit...but then again, it's a bar... Disappointed because it could've been a nice close spot from our apartment we could walk to. read more

Love this place, all the girls that work here are awesome. I tend to come every Wednesday just to relaxe and have a great time. Pool,darts, the customers all treat eachother like family. If you come in with a great attitude you will be loved. read more

Great little bar, affordable drinks, big ol' beers, pool, shuffleboard, foosball and edarts. Stumbling distance from several Buena Park attractions and hotels. read more

Man this place is as good as it gets. Was here last night with friends and its cool because they have pool tables are they let you play free on Sunday. Even though the cords for the lights above the pool table were almost hanging to the floor, I still liked it and I would come back again. read more

This place is ok but it smells like mildew and sweat and it smells like something else died in there not a good health place behind the bar looks bad as well wish I can give it a 0 star read more

Good place to play some free pool and drink a cheap beer..Used to go here sundays to play pool with some friends.. haven't been here in awhile though.. they used to have karaoke idk if they still do.. food selection is limited but they do sell a few items.. Crowd is mixed from older people to people who just turned 21.. there are 3 pool tables to play on and lots of tvs to watch sports.. there is also a few dart boards and a jukebox/ipod type player.. cops like to hang around since it is near the main part of buena park so all u drunkies be forewarned.. there is a dance floor but people don't usually dance here. read more

1st time trying this bar and could only stay for 1 beer. ! The stench and smell as you walk in was overwhelming smelled si old and musty.... chairs are ripped out and falling apart. Owner seems he neglected this place. Dont recommend at all read more

Ummm...absolutely DISGUSTING place...and that's putting it mildly. The stench in here was horrific. There really is not much to say aside from that. That smell alone, once you open its doors, should be enough to make you run back out. The people may be nice, the bartenders may want to partake in conversation...but that smell, that eau de ass, was way too much... read more

Nice location bad smell. I went around 1am for a drink so I could get some good sleep was staying next door at rodeway. Instantly slapped by awful smell I ignored since it was fairly crowded maybe 15 people some relaxing some a little too drunk anyway I ordered patron &oj it was pretty strong lol the place was awkward just kind of wanted to leave so I didn't ask for more juice just drank it and hurried to sneak out that place lol could have been nice I'm sure read more

I've been on a dive bar kick, ever since I've found out that drinks cost half or a third than at regular bars. This was a good halfway spot to meet a friend for a few drinks on a week night. At first, I was a little scared to go in by myself since there were some shady looking people out front smoking. However, I figured that I was fairly safe since it was OC and not Compton. There's a few pool tables, a bar area with seating, and some tables towards the back. Music is rather loud. Drinks are cheap - mine was $5! Never had to wait long to get a drink, either, as there were two female bartenders, including a Korean one, which I wouldn't expect in such a place. It also smells like cigarettes, though I don't think they allow smoking inside. Bathrooms were clean. Not the best clientele, but it's a good watering hole spot. read more

As soon as I walk in I got free shots.. Very friendly place.. I would def come back!

Such a great little place! the customer service is awesome. The bartender shook our hands and introduced herself to us. Great conversations. Definately recommend!! read more

I LOVE THIS BAR! Great location, close to knots berry farm. Prices are ON POINT! My favorite bartender is JENNIE! She is so great and personable. Cozy little hole in the wall but that's what I like about it! A must visit place in BP! read more

Cups - Bomb pop shots!! Thanks Jenn!!! - Dive Bars Near Me - Buena Park, California

I love dive bars but this place is a shit hole shitty service on a Saturday night it took 30 mins to get a drink an the bar isn't even that big read more

We always have a great time here. Sometimes too good. We usually go after work. Its not crowded and and everyone is always so friendly. The bartenders are great and can make a pretty good bloody mary. The weekends are much busier and have a younger crowd. This is a great dive bar. read more

This bar is a total dive but I LOVE it. It's not too dirty like some. All different types of people hang out here so that makes it pretty fun. The prices are really low and they have Stella on tap. Whoop read more

What a shithole!!!! Smells bad in there. I would go there when I would get mad at the wife!! But that place looks outdated! Beer price is ok

younger crowd than what i'm used to seeing at dive bars. was kinda of pleasant. decor could use some work-- but if it works it works. pools, darks, arcade games, couple wall mounted tv. Nice. read more

The Wed day and night bartenders are my favorites. Tues and Monday nights are awesome too. Everyone knows everyone kinda place.

I live dive bars and this one infidelity fits the bill. Cheap beer and great company.

The past 2 times I've been to Cups my experiences have been somewhat decent can't complain. Latest visit was yesterday and they have to have the shittiest bartenders I've ever met. Extremely rude, don't know how to make a proper Jack & Coke without drowning it in ice. Never again. read more

Great bar fun environment friendly staff awesome location close to home great drinks and music as well billiards to play

Awesome little bar. Free pool and decent prices. Super friendly service. There was some reviews about the smell but it is not worth not going for. read more

Needed to waste a couple of hours in between a wedding. Great place to chill, drink, and have a couple of beers. Drinks were fairly priced!

Food is awesome,,, dive bar for sure good fun ,great food ,good people ,food to go not bar food at all Mama Bras is all home made style Mexican food rite from the heart read more

So the plus side to this place is that yes they do have free pool and drinks were priced adequately! The downside was the smell of vomit that stays in your nostrils the entire time there...I would be very afraid to eat there! The bartender was taking shots after shots and was not very attentive to people she didn't know! Over this place sucks! read more
