This place is great if you like dive bars! If you don't, probs not the place for you. Very reasonable prices on drinks. I've never had a single issue here; it's a dive bar! Of course you're going to be exactly what dive bars are like! If that's your vibe, you will have fun here. Very chill environment, I like all of the bartenders, and it's my new post shift go-to. read more

THE best dive bar in Temecula without a doubt! My favorite Bartenders in Temecula, all are so personable and take care of everyone no matter if it's 6am or 6pm. Dj nights with the best DJ in Temecula: DJ Rico is a GUARANTEED good night with endless good vibes! Come in and support one of the last/best local gems in Temecula read more

This place is amazing!! Great people and great drinks! I highly recommend this dive bar. The bartenders are very attentive!

Nasty smelly handling cash and then touching the bacon and olives with your hands making a drink that's so gross. The whole place is gross.

Perhaps the best dive bar I've ever stumbled upon. Cool vibes, great people, atmosphere is exactly what you want but didn't know you needed. Looks like a hole in the wall but is actually a pretty big place. Check it out asap! read more

If I could rate it a 0 star I would lol. Me and my boyfriend went last night and they accused us of having fake IDs when we are literally over age. The white security guard was really rude and was threatening to call the cops for no reason. There was another security guard as well, he was black and he literally pushed me and I almost fell, like do not lay your hands on me. It started a whole argument and they were threatening to call the cops, like I wish you could lol not letting us in when we're clearly overage and pushing me? Like honestly get new staff cause everyone there is weird and rude and looks like they got a stick up they ass. Do not go here, it's trashy asf anyway, and the staff only makes it worse. Should be shut down tbh.. read more

So very good! All you can eat is pretty darn reasonable - and the quality is very good. Service was beyond what I expected, we sat in the outdoor area and they were so responsive and attentive - definitely recommend going here! read more

Everyone that works there is awesome. Margie is my absolute favorite bar tender!!! This is the spot to go to for some strong drinks and good vibes. read more

Great local hangout bar. Hidden secret in m opinion. Unforgettable Christmas night there. Only place open and it was rocking with a great dj. read more

It's all good! From the bouncer at the front door, to Miranda, our karaoke host. And ll the super fine females caught in the crossfire. That includes Miranda. She's a hottie. Yes, I said all good! read more

Wow. Shady AF. From the folks hanging around outside the entrance to the people inside. Now it's the only place open late on a Sunday, but I figure this is typical for ET's. Needed a place to go after a Sunday wedding so our group stood out like a sore thumb. All that said, everyone was friendly inside. Dark lighting with a long bar to the right and a dance floor and pool tables in the rear. Gets fairly crazy as the night goes on. No photos since all I have are ones with read more

ET's Classy Lounge - Dive Bars Near Me - Temecula, California

Bouncers are completely rude and the biggest jerks ever. They pick and choose who they want to let in and lose good customers over it. Owners need to re-evaluate who they hire at the door. I've been been coming here for awhile and have witnessed the bouncers being complete jerks to customers that don't deserve it. read more

The absolute best bar in all local miles. From the bouncers to the bartenders and DJ's included. If could live here I would. This is the highest class of trash as it gets. I've never felt so loved at such a classy lounge. If you're in town don't come because it's already so crowded and the locals pack it out. But if you do come here over tip all your bar tenders. They deserve it. With you You're favorite long haired white boy read more

.Check IDs way to much Think they like the same people there wont let new ones in. Place is crappy if they don't let you im because of an Id and Im older then the guy at the door. Place is a local place for them and their own buddies. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. The gentleman at the door, a clever looking young man turned my husband and I away, stating that my identification was invalid (it's not). That's the best answer he could muster, I suppose, to turn two visiting African Americans away. I'm a 35 year old Registered Nurse, I am not a threat to any facility, neither is my husband. He's a Baker for goodness sakes. My only child passed at the end of last year and this would have been my first Mother's Day. My Husband surprised me with this getaway weekend. Since we've been in town, we have been repeatedly referred to ET's. So we decided to go. I was excited, as people have highly recommended it, and we've enjoyed all the other places we've visited, saving this one for last! Unfortunately, I was not allowed to come in. I'm sure the gentleman will continue to stand on his story, that my identification was invalid. We'll just return to Pechanga, where my ID has been accepted all weekend; or perhaps the Pub and Grub, where we really enjoyed ourselves last night. My identification was accepted there as well. Strange right? To further disappoint a couple of out-of-towners, the gentleman rudely and sarcastically said "Ok Bye-Bye...God Bless." It was an odd farewell, sort of condescending and dismissive. But hey, if that makes him feel big and important, go him! It was clear that we were not welcome to spend our money or enjoy the atmosphere here. I'd like to believe it was about my ID. But you know, as a Masters educated professional woman and mother, I know better. We had a great time at the Round Bar at Pechanga afterwards. The music was nice, the vibe was very chill, the cocktails were impressive and the people watching gave us a night of good hearty laughs. Good times. I hope ET takes a look at their customer relations, it's less than subpar. read more

Fun dive bar with mostly locals. Pool tables and karaoke are always entertaining. Bartenders are friendly. Drinks are good. Nice getaway from all the touristy spots in Old Town. read more

If you go into a place with high expectations you're gonna be let down. Drinks were reasonable, The Karaoke singers were all pretty good. (I've walked out of bars because I couldn't handle the screeching singers!) A fun lil neighborhood bar. They have 2 pool tables, Shuffle board. Some cool patrons and some A$$e$. (but, what bar doesn't have a mixture?) The bartender Todd (just joking) John was nice and kept the drinks flowing. The ID/Bouncer/Barback- was nice and kept busy whether it was helping keep the glasses cleaned up or pulling the poor drunk guy out of the ladies bathroom. The guy making tacos outside came in before he closed down to make sure no one wanted to order anything before he closed. (I thought that was really nice) I love to people watch- so I enjoyed all the visuals! LOL I didn't enjoy the drunk marines that thought it was classy to moon my friend and the karaoke host when she was signing and then for them to say some rude things like they earned the right. I appreciate you serving our country- But ya sure can't fix STUPID!!!! Hopefully, no one tells the dudes wife that he was going on and on about the only way he gets some is to get her drunk and hand-cuff her!!! The drive home was reallllllllly a long one for me. So I'd go here again but, problably not as late. read more

This is my go-to dive bar in Temecula! Whenever I come here for business, our group seems to always make it out here. And mostly because of the karaoke! Half of our team is pretty much tone deaf, but we don't let a little thing like musical talent stop us from saaaanging! HA! You might here the girls do an amazing "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and the boys do "Gangsta's Paradise" The other folks who come to sing are pretty good as well. The girls who run the karaoke (which starts at 9p) are the ones with the musical talent. They are amazing. So if you don't feel like getting up to sing, you can sit and just listen to these girls perform. They are so good. If you don't like any of that stuff, just go drink. It is after all, a bar. read more

I like it when Trinity is DJing, she doesn't skip or hate on anyone, Tuesday Suck!!! No Kareoke, just a loud mouth guy with long hair and a bold guy who host go dish night, it suck's really bad and they are loud yelling into their microphones. Not worth coming to and then last night. Little woman with red dyed hair, got there at 9:30 and only got to sing one song, she kept telling me I'm coming up soon and didn't call me up all night, I really dislike that bitch!!! Thanks E.T. For having a few terrible DJ's to just kill peoples fun. I'd get rid of long hair guy and red head and replace them with talented DJ's. Glad I didn't tip her last night like I originally wanted to, instead I left at 1 in the morning upset! read more

This place is a joke one of the worst bars I've ever gone too the bouncers all should be fired I was pushed and yelled at by drunk people bouncers were rude could hardly get a drink at the bar I will never come back read more

If this isn't your everyday spot, don't bother coming! It's not about rIght or wrong here. It's about who was there first. Nor really looking to get into it, just not a very professional staff. Step outside to smoke leaving a half empty bar and my seat was taken, my drink moved over while my card was still in the bartenders possession. Anyway there are many places to go. read more

They do kareoke almost every night of the week. Lots of regulars, most the people are pretty cool. They have drinks specials every night of the week. Some of the bartenders don't really know what they're doing though. For it being a weekday, this place gets pretty busy. I suppose because there's not many places to choose from on a Tuesday night in Temecula. They have lots of seating and chairs which is nice. There's a few pool tables and that game where you throw the thing on the sand... I forget what it's called. Can you believe this place has been here since 1992, open 6am to 2am every day, lol. read more

ET's Classy Lounge - Thanks.. I really needed this sign to remind me what alcohol every standard bar has. - Dive Bars Near Me - Temecula, California

From out of town, met some locals who told us to come here. They denied me into the with my passport card!!! I did not have my license on me so I used my passport. A FEDERAL ID!!!!! They said I needed the passport book, so they could see my height and weight??? Stupid!!!! They were complete jerks. So disappointed cause it looked like a fun place but they lost our business. read more

The only bar in Temecula I found that opened until 2am on weekdays. Cool little spots. The crowd varies. Bartenders are all really cool. There's a dance floor, two pool table, and a shuffle board. read more

Nice strong drinks with a very diverse crowd... Wish there was a smoking patio where I can take my drink though. Oh yeah Clay Matthews look alike works the bar really fucking good read more

Don't go on karaoke night.... nothing but Disney songs sung by the same 3 people that run it all night long... worst time Ive ever had on a night out... I normally hate karaoke anyways but as long as the song choices at least are place appropriate then it's doable but a dive bar n beauty n the beasts songs.... please shoot me in the head read more

Probably the classiest bar I've been to. Make sure you dress well or they will not let you in. The bar tenders and Maitre D's are the kindest you'll ever meet. I would order the smoked Bourbon with a twist. Margie is very classy, and very proper, so make sure you are able to get on her level before ordering from her! I definitely will be returning. read more

Disgusting the security is a joke. They are a bigger problem then the people in the bar not coming back

Oh Ets what can I say about you? On a rare night, one may find themselves running into past mates, old lovers, and a great time, on an even rarer night one may find themselves so intoxicated, that they end up on the wrong side of the road blasting Nirvana really loud, but either way it makes for an interesting night, my Et days are over, but do not be fooled, the memories this place has provided me will live on forever, awesome lil joint. read more

ET's "classy" Lounge? More like complete dive bar, hole in the wall spot. Don't waste your tome here, you can have more fun at home with your own group of friends. Wannabe bouncers outside think they're 'bad ass'. Lmao when i see them. They think they're the shit because they say who can and cannot go in and what ID's they will or will not accept. Drinks are a little pricey for the old dirty place it is inside. I would be completely embarrassed to bring anyone here. But if you like expensive drinks, untalented karaoke and an uncleanly environment then this may be the spot for you! read more

Definitely a dive bar!! has pool tables and other games I had a beer of the tap didn't taste the same as usual, my tip would be stick to bottled beer if you really Wana visit read more

The owners don't care about customers. Shaft those with disabilities. Also someone was stabbed and killed here. I am an A class Singer and Musician but I won't go here due to many issues. Best advice. STAY AWAY!!! I usually give 5 star reviews. Check my history. This time I have no choice. read more

A buddy of mine and I walked in last night for a couple of drinks. We waited for 5 min, while being stared at from across the room at the billiards area, for service.. Then finally are greeted with a "what do you want?" Shrugged that one off and decided to purchase some credits on touch tunes juke box. Heard music going- and then they switched it off but left the box running- so I waisted 15 bucks on credits- planning on being there for a while, and there was nothing they could do about it. But they leave the machine on, and allow people to pay for credits for no music. Waisted credits on songs not playing because they hooked up music from a customers iPod to the speakers. Waited for another drink. No waitress in site. Went and played pinball. The machine was pretty good- that's where the 2 stars comes in. Went back to the bar and sat by my friend, we waited again for 5-10 minutes for service. No one. Finally waitress comes in, and we cash out because we realized this place has no care for customers. So we left, and even left a decent tip.. Only to not return. On our way out- the waitress was sitting outside with the security smoking a cigarette while people walked in, and they weren't greeted, there were no "have a good night" exchanged and we got in our ride and watched as we left, the waitress didn't budge, still smoking and talking while people were inside probably wondering where the service was. Terrible. read more

The boyfriend and I didn't arrive in town until 5pm on a weekday and most of the bars in Temecula close down around 9pm, so we decided to give this dive bar a shot being that they were one of the only bars that remained open late. Absolutely worst experience ever. The bartender was rude, the drinks were weak, the place smelled kinda funny, and most of the patrons were bro ho douchebags. Best advice I can give you is to stay far away from this bar. read more

I was bummed that this place wasn't as awesome as I had hoped. The karaoke dude is creepy beyond words- watch out ladies, he will be caressing you and trying to kiss you within minutes. Not what I came for. The owner Ross is rude, and does not make you feel welcome. I actually came back a few times hoping I came on an off night, and it was true every time. The drinks are priced fairly and made pretty well, so if you grab a drink and get out, it might be worth it. The crowd is mostly moto bro/ hos or older men, which I also found to be a bummer. read more

This place came highly recommended as the best dive bar around. The place was great. Great prices and daily specials. Also my absolute favorite game to play Golden Tee. The bartender that was on shift when I first got there was a total sweetheart and answered any question I had. Will definitely be returning. read more

The Bar: Hard to find... there is no sign on the street and it's located in a strip mall. Kinda a weird set up out front, perhaps this location was once a liquor store. There is a taco dude at this location 6 days a week. Once inside, the room is long. L-shaped bar with around 30 bar stools and 2 service stations. Past the bar, there is a dance floor, where Karaoke takes place, a few table, a shuffleboard and 2 pool tables. I usually try to avoid bars that host Karaoke, but this wasn't so bad. It isn't obnoxiously loud, and the people actually knew how to sing. The bar is cluttered with dollar bills. Feel free to add your own, just ask the bartender for a sharpie and a staple gun, you provide the dollar. You can put it ANYWHERE in the bar. Look for ours... it has a DiveBar Culture sticker on in. The Crowd: We arrived shortly after 8pm to find a hand full of locals and a gorgeous bartender whose name is Tamra. Once Karaoke kicked in, the place started filling up rather quickly. Definitely a local spot, but chill spot for sure. Service: In the beginning it was quick, but as the night progressed and more patrons arrived, the slower the service got. The bar is quite long, and with one bartender on, it's quite a handful for her to handle. Prices: $11.50 pitchers of PBR. $6.75 for a rather large shot of Fireball. Entertainment: 6 TV's, TouchTunes Jukebox, Karaoke, 2 pool tables, Shuffleboard, Golden Tee, Lottery Scratchers. Restroom: Fabulous. Smelled good too. Very clean the entire night. Closing statement: I recommend getting here around 10pm. Make it your ending bar. We had a great time. This is the local spot for my friends that I was visiting, so I am sure I will be back here again. I was told this is the best dive bar in Temecula, we hit 3 bars tonight and this was by far the best one. I highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area. read more

Not totally a "dive bar" but probably the closest you'll get to in Temecula, more like a college bar. Good atmosphere, nice bartender, it was totally decent & one of the only bars you can find in town that stays open past midnight during the week. read more
