It's not SCARY! Lol. The location and outside appearance looks rough. The owner and staff are for the people! We stopped in with a "let's take a change" attitude and we were pleasantly surprised with the warm reception. We went on a football Sunday. Beers on tap and in the coolers. What I loved is the women's bathroom was giving Girls Girl! read more

Fun dive bar. The prices are great and the drinks are top notch. My bar plays pool league here and it's always a blast!

Oh yes!! If you're looking for a locals friendly spot for a beer This is the spot. Casual, great selection of beers on tap and available for purchase read more

I like this place.... although I've only gone twice and each time it was very empty. I have definitely experienced GREAT service from the staff. The bartenders have been super friendly and welcoming. However, it's still on my questionable list bc I'm not sure what the vibe would be like when the folks who come here, come here...you know? It's in a very rural area that makes me nervous. It was definitely nice to be able to go somewhere and day drink and shoot a few games of pool with my buddy...it also has a back area that we didn't get out to, but it looked cool to hang out. Oh, and they have a nice, albeit small, selection of rotating craft beers. Very cool read more

11 dollars a pour. Yes 11. Double the price of any other bar I've gone to. When I mentioned it they said it was normal. You tell me what's normal about 11 bucks a pour read more

In need of a place to kick back and enjoy the weather? Lean back in a comfy reclining patio chair at this place, have a $2 modelo, and contemplate all those things that make life so grand. Complete random find by my boyfriend, who never ever lets me down when it comes to "dive bars." This place is a hidden gem! The bartendress is a charmer. She comes out to check on folks on the patio. Unheard of in Sac area bars. It's got energy drinks, cigs, lotto, beer, and nascar on tv. SHEE-OOT! read more

They have 3 pretty decent Old School (80's/90's era) 9' Bruinswick tables in their pool room ($10/hr) and a decent selection (about 10-12 handles) of craft beer on tap. Just wish they were open more hours. read more

Come grab a beer or play some pool at the best dive bar in Elk Grove, Hay Tone's Hangout! They are experts in beer and hospitality, local to the farming community of Franklin. read more

The staff and owners are top notch. Friendly and always have cold cold beer to drink. Love the little hangout

Talk about service in the patio when there is only one bartender inside. She was a sweet heart can checked on us multiple times to see if we needed more beers. Beers are so cheap ! $2 for domestic and $3 for import. If you check in you get 2 for 1 beer. I think this is simply awesome and excuse to have just one more. . Service was quick when i first got up to the bar. I got my drink in a snap of a finger. I love this little fast service. They have a pool room inside, with 2 pool tables. The bar itself is kind of small but fits a good amount of 1 people. The patio is nice and can fit quite a bit. Restrooms are a bit run down, but the mens bathroom urinal is the most memorable experience. Why?! ... well you know when its time to go make bubbles, they have this magnetic football where the football floats in mid air and no matter if your making bubbles on it, it will never fall off. Its so fun lol... anyways thanks for reading, and prolly u be like huh??! Well i have a picture, u shall see whats making bubbles and football ;) .... read more

This review is way over due! Stopped by this place after a Yelp Elite Event on a dreary Sunday afternoon back in March. I had driven by several times but never stopped. However, I am always up to trying new places. When a fellow Yelper suggested that we go, I was game! I had no idea what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. This place is a one stop shop! When you walk in, to your right you will see several refrigerators full of different beers, they sell lottery tickets, they sell cigarettes, they have pool tables, and they are a bar! We were greeted promptly by a very nice and helpful bartender. She quickly grabbed us some beer and we headed out to the very large back patio. There was plenty of seating, we chose to sit under the patio because the weather was unpredictable that day and calling for rain. The bartender was very attentive, she came out several times to the back patio to see if we needed refills. Typically when you sit on a back patio at a bar this doesn't happen so this was nice! Prices are very reasonable as well!!! And if you check on Yelp, you can get BOGO beer, even the good stuff =) Definitely plan on coming back, my friends and I had a great time. read more

Mighty high on the dive-o-meter! Near convienience store snack, drink, and smoke assortment. Austin peanut butter orange cracker sandwiches, Schwan's frozen pizza, and Swisher sweets? Check. Check. Check. Lotto for sale. Drink tokens in jars labeled with regulars names. Prepaying? What a responsible way to budget your drinking habit. Just heading into the rural area just south of Elk Grove is where you'll find it. Across the street from the skating rink. Needless to say you'll run into some characters here. Plenty of pool tables (4), a internet juke, a nice flat screen TV, cheap draft beer, and a patio. Doesn't sound too bad does it? read more

What a great little spot in the heart of the town of Franklin. A quick little jaunt from the south side that ends somewhere near Elk Grove. We were treated like locals and accommodated in every possible way by the amazing Georgina. After a game of pool ($7 a hour) we headed out to the patio.. The guys enjoyed the hokey game on the outdoor flat screens and I kept my glass half full with Coors on tap and all my favorite tunes on the jukebox. This was a perfect way to end a long week....Cold cheap Beer, nice atmosphere, friendly staff...we will be back. I love the misters and fans on the patio...perfect for hot summer nights We will definately come back and enjoy this small town charm sometime soon. FYI there is a ATM machine inside...but cash is preferred. Also there is beer avaable for take out! read more

Hay Tone's Hangout - Beer and Lotto - Pool Halls Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Hay Tones, more like hey I'm home. All the bar tenders are friendly and welcoming, although I'm partial to Amanda. The beer is super cold, and there's always one ready the second I walk in, and I never wait for a second or a third. The pool room is second to none, filled with tv's and wired to their fabulous touch tunes jukebox. Lots of regulars, but a great place to just pass through for a beer or grabbing something to go. read more

Hay Tone's Hangout - Such a great time! Everyone is so friendly, hands down my favorite place to go play pool! - Pool Halls Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I drive past this place all the time on my way home and always wanted to check it out. I stopped by one day and caught some of the SF Giants Parade on TV. This place has everything. It has a convenience store, a bar, pool hall, darts, and nice local people. The bartender was very nice and the place had a "Cheers" kind of vibe to it. I decided to grab a beer because they had Monkey Knife Fight on tap. The beer was a little flat, but it still tasted good. A nice local bar to grab a beer and to hang out with the locals. 3 stars.. Enjoy read more

We recently moved to the Elk Grove area and happened to stumble upon this place one night when looking to go out close to home for a beer. Once entering this place, they are very welcoming and happy to see you. There is a pool area and a bar area and great service! The people are nice and the prices are great! You can tell this is a "farmer" type bar, but we have not been disappointed. Come check it out, we will come back! Please note: CASH is king! read more

I stopped by for a beer and it was a great surprise. The atmosphere was cool and the bartended was nice and everyone seemed really nice. I give it an A plus Just stopped by to play pool on 05/19/15 It was alright, beer was good. read more

I love this place! Great ppl! Cold beer!! Great pool tables!! Maybe I can make a shot this time-

I love this place! Friendly staff and several pool tables to play on. Great place to have a beer and chill

Nice little place to play pool and just hang out drinking beer. Love the juke box too.

If you like beer, if you like good people, if you like pool or darts, then Haytones is where you're going tonight. Bartenders are all Hella cool (especially Erin), and they have good beer on tap AND TO-GO in 6-18 packs! Have a cigar/cigarette on the patio with a beer and chill with your friends. Cheers! read more

Love this Dive Bar. No pretense. Cooler filled with beer, sodas and other cold beverages along with 6-8 brews on tap. Love the 3 pool tables in the side rooms and the laid back feel of the place. Chantel, the owner is a hoot and the locals love to hang out here. read more

All are not welcome at this "bar". If you're not a regular in peach don't bother. I went across the street and received great service and a good drink. Never will I step foot in Hay Tones again. read more

You could barely call this a bar more like a warehouse with a jukebox and some pool tables. Of course there were no tables available so I sat at the bar to watch the Patriots/Houston game. Couldn't hear the game over the sound of the bartender, owner and locals slamming the crap out of dice cups on the bar. Had one beer and walked out. Went straight from there to the Wrangler on Grantline and had an AMAZING night. Won't come back. read more

Dive bar. Good for cheap beer and pool. Juke box is great! Bar staff is terrible! As long as you go on knowing this you will have a great time. Don't expect much in the way of service though. read more

Service was good, not a very welcoming crowd. Unless your a good old boy that attended 3rd grade with the rest of the crowd you wont be welcome read more

I love this bar!!! I come in from time to time and the atmosphere is so welcoming. There are great people in there and I always have a great time. The bartenders are all very nice, but it is my most recent experience with Amanda that made me want to write this review. She is amazing!!! She is very friendly and a great bartender. She went out of her way to get to know me and make sure that I felt welcome here. Good job Hay Tones for having an establishment with great people who make for a great time!!!!!! read more

This place is literally down the street from my house. Mainly come here to simply hangout or play pool. Their pool tables are great and its always a great time here. Downside is they take only cash. :( read more

Excellent neighborhood bar! Good place to come and kick back. All the bartenders are very friendly....be sure to ask Kathy about her special dice game. If you don't want to just sit around the bar, they also have pool tables and dart boards. read more

I've been coming here for a while and I thought it was finally time to write a review. You'll see a lot of reviews on Yelp about what a great little dive bar this is, and it's true it's a great little dive bar (although it does not serve hard alcohol). However what makes this place special is their rotating taps of craft beer. It's rare to find a small place like this giving serious attention to really good small local breweries. And not just local breweries, I have found them serving beers from small craft breweries as far away as Turlock . They also have a great selection of cider available in cans and bottles. They must be working with a great local distributor. I would love to know the story behind that? read more

Erin is amazing! She stayed after close to serve us and never rushed us out, even though they closed 3 minutes after we arrived! She is great! Awesome place! read more
