    Usually am here for Angie but Angie was off and I was able to meet Leti. She was great, super friendly and has that great personality. Pretty chill the environment when I went in today. Leti and talked about hikes and mudruns lol. Will be coming back when she's here! Angie and Leti best bartenders at this place!!!

    Group Therapy is exactly what we needed to get us through this ridiculous shutdown! This awesome little sports bar on the edge of Brea is ready to host anyone who is ready for a little normalcy. Ari(Sp?) was our bartender and she was awesome and the bar has a very cool, relaxed vibe. Since we had just eaten, we just wanted to hang out, have a couple of beers and relax. The juke box was playing some excellent 80's music and some of the other patrons were playing pool. Highly recommended if you want to get out of the house, unwind and leave all your troubles behind. Cheers to good mental health. :-)

    Came here on a Groupon (it's how I discover new places and give them a chance) and was surprised at how fun this place was. They don't serve food just alcohol and it's a medium sized room that's clean and spacious. It wasn't crowded when we walked in on Friday after 5, but it was LIT! Ari our bartender was totally cool and set us up really quick with drinks. We met two locals, Hugo and Blake, that made our experience here fun and memorable with their funny conversation and banter and awesome music selection. One minute we're singing Lizzo and the next we're belting out Vicente's El Rey en español. I would recommend this place to locals or anyone wanting to drink in a place that's not crowded and is way more fun.

    So glad I found this little place. Yummmmmy drinks and you can order food and have it delivered from next door and the food was outstanding as well. Nikki was great, she made the best Bloody Mary shots! Cold beer and cool people.

    Good atmosphere. We were able to purchase a Groupon online to use. A voucher for $40.00 bought for $24!

    I have lived in or near Fullerton for most of my 30+ years as an adult and have always wanted to…read moretry this place. But now I don't live near fullerton so I thought I would check it out the next time I was close by. I finally got around to it on a weekend afternoon and immediately I loved the vibe. They do a great job placing you in a comfortable spot with the nostalgic furniture, the sports memorabilia, the local news article clippings. The bartender met me w a greeting as I walked in and quickly I found out he would be the host, waiter, bartender, and busser. I never had an empty glass of beer because he never allowed me to have one, the food came out piping hot, and it was easy to pay the check right away and all done by the same guy! So besides the nice vibe and great service they had some very good bbq and side dishes. The chicken and the pork ribs were solid choices. Both moist and tender and glazed with a really nice bbq sauce. I will definitely be here again when I am in the area again.

    Service is always good, atmosphere too but as of late, I've gotten some subpar food. Had a rack of…read morereally tough ribs, had fish and chips and the fish was even tough, couldn't bite through them. Yuck! Cold beans, cold fries....something is awry and it feels like the food is changing for the worse....unfortunately. Not sure what changes were made but they're not good. It used to be my go-to but now I'm a bit weary.

Other than that, this place is great to grab a drink and watch a game.

    Hi Melene Thank you for your response. I want to acknowledge…read morethat I did eventually sit down without being seated, and I understand that doing so was not consistent with your normal process. For that, I take responsibility. However, I believe your description leaves out important context that contributed to the situation. I waited in line like every other customer and spoke directly with the hostess. She was preparing to seat me, but then informed me that because I did not yet have all four members of my party present, I could not be seated. I explained that some members of my party were still looking for parking while others were on their way, and asked whether I could simply be seated as a party of one while I waited. I had driven a considerable distance specifically for this event and intended to purchase food and drinks. I was told that I could not be seated or served until the rest of my party arrived. What made this especially confusing was that the event had been advertised as first come, first served. Based on that advertising, I reasonably expected that arriving early and waiting in line would secure a place. Instead, I was told I could not be seated or served despite having arrived and waited my turn. Out of frustration, I briefly sat down hoping to get a drink of water and order food while waiting. When I was told I could not sit there, I immediately got up and left the table. I then asked whether there was anywhere else I could at least get food and water while waiting for my friends. Both the hostess and the manager informed me that I could not be served unless my full party was present. What further added to my frustration was watching a party of two get seated shortly afterward. Whether there were circumstances I was unaware of or not, it created the appearance that the policy was being applied inconsistently. My concern is less about being denied a table and more about the inconsistent messaging and customer experience. Had I been clearly informed in advance that "first come, first served" was subject to a full-party seating requirement, I would have planned accordingly. While I can acknowledge my role in the interaction, I believe there is also an opportunity for your business to reflect on how situations like this are communicated and handled. Customer dissatisfaction often comes not from the existence of a policy, but from inconsistent application and poor communication of that policy. Given the number of reviews expressing similar concerns, it may be worth considering whether there is a pattern that deserves attention. I wish your business success and appreciate you taking the time to respond.
