I don't drink, I'm sober and when I go in she finds any excuse to tell me I have to buy a drink, in front of everyone and doesn't even give me a chance to settle in.

I cause no problems I just shoot pool and support her business. NEVER GOING HERE AGAIN!

I went to see Maryam from Tapps and Trans-X. Tickets presale are as cheap as $5 (plus a small service fee) and they have great $3 drink options all night. The DJ plays good ass music, funk, freestyle, high energy disco, 80s hits. Great crowd, not a huge venue but not over crowded either. They have decent size bathrooms, which we can all appreciate if we've been drinking. Haven't tried their food but the also have a taquero towards the back of the place. I truly recommend this place if you appreciate the 80s as much as I do. I wish I lived closer, I usually drive an 1hr-1hr 1/2 from LA. I will definitely continue coming!

You'll hear The Bee Gees & Saturday Night Fever, The B52s, Duran Duran, Kool & The Gang but also Brenton Wood Oogum Boogie & even today's hit song Taki Taki. They are now bringing in these Dance & Disco Bands as well. Sometimes you can get Discount Tickets for the groups @ Groupon. VJ Envy & DJ Precious are @ The Steering Wheels Playing Videos & spinning the Vinyl Grooves @ Big D's. There is a Huge Revival of the 60s, 70s & 80s Music going on today. We went to see the group Lime. It was a packed House & they got the whole crowd singing & Dancing to their Disco Hits. A Fun Night as the crowd was really into it. It used to be, you had to have mega bucks & be really rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!

Drinks are good could not get a pina colada there but did get a tequila sunset. Prices are good.

Don't waste your time or money coming here. It's in a terrible neighborhood. Drug dealers,…read moreprostitutes, homeless people are everywhere. People's cars are broken into all the time right out in front of the bar on the street. The inside and outside are disgusting. It looks like they haven't updated the place within the past 40 years. People are illegally smoking indoors, (as well as the staff). It smells disgusting. If you have allergies, you better bring an epinephrine pen with you. The bathrooms are so dirty that it's disturbing. People go into the bathrooms together to have sex, and do drugs. I walked in and saw it going on myself. I've seen nasty used condoms on the floor before. Cockroaches are a common occurrence. The bartenders are rude, especially Christina. She will smile to your face, then talk sh#t about you behind your back to other patrons. She didn't realize that she was talking to one of my friends, and was saying terrible things about me. Of course it got back to me. I had about 70 dollars of other people's drinks charged to my bill, which I was expected to pay the last time I went. She explained that someone came up to her and said that I was paying for her drinks and her friends drinks. I was alone, and had no clue who these people were. At no point did she ask me if it was ok to put these peoples drinks on my tab. I believe she did it on purpose. Even if they completely remodeled this place, I will not go back here if she is still working there. I do not support establishments that steal from their patrons, or speak badly about them behind their backs. I heard her talking to one of her friends from Alibi East bar across the street. She was complaining about people that only give a dollar tip when they order a beer. I guess she expects 10 dollar tips on a 6 dollar beer. Besides that, the drinks are weak, and very overpriced. You'd expect reasonable prices since this place so dumpy. Nope! If you do decide to go, do not open up a tab! Close your tab after each round. Expect to wait forever to get a drink on the weekend. Don't tell the bartenders anything about yourself, unless you don't mind it being spread around to everyone there. DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING VALUABLE IN YOUR CAR, and make sure you have enough cash in the bank to buy new windows and to clean all of the glass out of your car also. Be very aware of your surroundings all the time, and never walk to your car by yourself! Hope this helps

But when CMI announced a show I had to be there. And lemme tell ya. This place is awesome. Located on a section of Pomona with numerous clubs and bars Characters sticks out as it's on the end and the sign is easy to see. There's ample parking and if there's nothing in the lot, the streets have plenty available. Security was cool with no hassle. As I walked in I was expecting a greasy dive bar with sticky floors and garbage lighting. No! Total opposite. Very clean and the crowd was cool. Pool tables were pushed to the side and the stage was nice and high. Sound was phenomenal and of course the bands were awesome. It's 21+ so keep that in mind if you're interested in an upcoming show. Characters was the total opposite of what I was expecting. At least indoors it's a great place to see a show. It checks all the boxes for what I'm looking for and I'd go back 100%. Highly recommended!

BYE! BYE! GET THE FUCK OUT!" as we walked out and that was not only embarrassing but understanding as to why they lack business. characters definitely showed their character tonight, rude and unwelcoming.

This year we got the usual great lineup but instead of the DIY style show in a parking lot, Professor Vic moved it to the Cathedral. Located right off Garey, The Cathedral is tough to miss. There's plenty of street parking on Center St and there's also a small parking lot across the street. This used to be a YMCA but it looks like an old church with dark wood flooring, high ceilings and stained glass windows. A very cool venue. How did it sound? Loud. Extremely loud. They also had a huge video board which gave each band a little extra hot sauce. There were a couple of bars in the back and you could also order food. It's air conditioned in there but between the heat (100+ outside at the time) and the amount of bodies inside, it was at least bearable. Mosh for Youth was great as always and while I loved the DIY ethos in the past this felt like a leap forward. The sound, look and venue made this feel big time. I hope future MFY shows take place here...until they maybe outgrow this place too, which would mean more scholarships for the kids. Highly recommended!
