Old Huants and New Cheers: An Authentic Dive with Heart in Vacaville!…read more I don't get to Vacaville very often, but when I do, I always enjoy stopping by TJ's Tavern. Stepping into TJ's Tavern feels like catching up with an old friend after years apart--familiar, comforting, and just the right amount of nostalgia. The drinks are straightforward and hit the spot, served up by solid bartenders. The music is often a mix of classics and some new surprises, which is just right. What makes TJ's truly stand out is the undeniable spirit in the place. There's a sense of resilience and growth here, like watching something meaningful continue to hold its own. On my most recent visit, I was happy to see how this place is not just holding its own but thriving. If you're passing through Vacaville and crave a spot with character, history, and a whole lot of heart, TJ's Tavern is well worth the visit. Here's to good times past, present, and those still to come. Cheers

Wild little place. First time there around 5pm. Walked in, girl had her dog sitting on the bar…read more Not next to her, on the bar. Proceeded to put the dog down so it could run around with another dog! I'm cool with that to an extent but my buddy wasn't digging it. The crowd is very local and you can feel it.

We were traveling down Midway Road when we happened upon this place. I'd been here many years ago…read more I was happy to find it again! What we encountered inside was less than stellar. The place was clean, however the lady bartender obviously didn't enjoy her job or wish to be working on a Saturday. Not one smile or a bit of kindness. It seemed like we were a burden to her. I asked her where the ladies room was. No answer. That's fine. I'll find it in my own... In this day and age where jobs are hard to come by, you'd think she'd have put a bit more effort into hers. Oh well.

After leaving the Crest Theatre, my girl and I walked across the street to The Dive Bar to end the…read morenight. Security checked our IDs at the door, and once we walked in, the bar area was packed. Luckily, there were reserved booths nobody was using and my girl, and I sat there since the main bar was crowded. It actually worked out perfect for us. It gave us space to sit, relax, and have a good conversation without feeling cramped. We ordered a couple of colorful drinks that were nicely balanced and flavorful, not too overpowering, and easy to enjoy. The music was hip-hop which is right up my alley, so the vibe was definitely on point. What really stood out was the atmosphere. I've never been in a bar quite like this where jellyfish were hanging from the ceiling, and a whole underwater theme. I was told a mermaid appears over the bar at certain times, but sadly, I didn't get to see her this visit. Overall, it was a great spot to end the night after the movie. Good drinks, good music, and a unique sea-themed vibe. If I return, I will hope to see a mermaid

If you want to be charged a cover to get into a place where you'll be comepletely ignored by…read morebartenders, harassed by security and patrons and allegedly have to worry about your drink being accompanied by something a little extra...just so you can see a "mermaid" swim around in a fish tank then this is the perfect place for you. The bar tenders have horrible customer service even when the bar isn't busy. It seems like they rather hang out and chat with regulars and friends than serve paying customers. The security guards we're blatantly discriminating against my friend for no good reason. Also, security apparently accepts bribes at the front door to let people in, so much for safety. The drinks were in my opinion overpriced and didn't taste good. Maybe I'm biased because my whole experience here put a complete sour taste in my mouth. Then, to top it all off my friends and I were being harassed by two patrons who had clearly been overserved the entire time we were there. We had no choice but to leave and we will never be back again! After visiting I wanted to leave a review because I felt other people should steer clear. To my surprise, I read reviews here that mentioned almost the exact experience we had. So, this is not an isolated incident and Dive Bar has not taken our comments into consideration. Disclaimer: I did not have this experience, but it was very disheartening to see all the reviews, tik toks, reels, etc. I found after visiting Dive Bar in which women and men are claiming to have been roofied. This may or may not be true, but it can't be a coincidence this many people have had the same experience. There needs to be an investigation into this bar. I myself will be placing a call to the BBB and I hope that anyone who has had that experience feels empowered to speak to the authorities.

This particular night we stopped in to get a drink really quick and they just happened to have a band playing. The wait to get a drink was pretty slow. Even the wait staff were having to wait a long time to serve patrons. Luckily, I was able to bypass the waitstaff (who I originally gave my order to) and just get my drink directly from the bartender. She was a very sweet woman named Aaliyah and she made a mean Old Fashioned, it even had the fancy square cube in it. She was such a sweetheart and I'd love to go back and order another one of these nights out.

The bar itself is extremely outdated and not well-maintained. It felt dirty and neglected throughout. There are two pool tables in the back, but they're old and in poor condition. The bartender didn't know how to make a few basic drinks, and the bar wasn't fully stocked, which was disappointing. There is plenty of parking . I'm not sure how this place has a 4-star rating -- in my opinion, it should be much lower.
