Still a horrible place. One beer turns into two then three and then four. Horrible bar tenders and the crowd is just as bad. Now that I've warned you don't come to this incredible place. read more

Great bar and crowd! The owner is great and the place is great! A+++++++++ once you come here, you'll be back. Plenty of parking too!! Great USC game! UCLA sucks. read more

You will be waiting to be served here !! Horrible service and the beer was not cold enough !!

Community friendly sports bar without airs that is welcoming Great bartenders and good drinks perfect for football season read more

Stopped in here for a quick drink on a Friday night a few weeks ago ago. Bartender was a friendly guy, it was pretty dead but I really enjoyed it. They have tons of games (cards against humanity and the sort, darts) and a great selection of drinks. They even had my fav huckleberry seltzer. Would definitely come back. read more

Was looking for a spot to pop in and have a quick beer as I waited for a buddy. The bar is great, friendly staff and good IPA on draft.

This is such a great bar. Why they can't play music is beyond me? Mr. Bone "Jimmy" always had music. It's a sports bar I get it, but play some music! I've be a local for 16 years. Not all bars need to be sports bars without music! read more

Best people, good times! Anna is an incredible bartender and so is the rest of the staff. So is Matt they have no relation tho haha more dive bars should be like this place. Love you guys thanks Jimmy Bones for being the best sports bar around! read more

Jimmy Bones - Best, most friendly place to relax and chill! Enjoy a drink and let your troubles fade away! - Sports Bars Near Me - Orange, California

I love the service here all the dudes are great. (I haven't yet been served by a female yet hence why I say dudes!) my boyfriend and I love coming here for a few drinks. I wanted a new vodka drink as I'm a fruity gal and usually drink vodka cranberry's, vodka red bulls or dirty Shirley's. Just your classic 21 year old gal. The bartender that was serving me went above and beyond and made me a new drink. & just for that itself is so lovely! I will definitely make this my go to bar as the atmosphere and environment is lovely . Thank you for serving us will be back:) read more

Jared really took care of me when I asked for nachos!!! Best cheese and chips I've had. The perfect amount of cheese and chips! Thank you Jared!! read more

Cool little dive bar. Folks were friendly and prices were reasonable! I'd definitely go back! read more

Bartender did not accept our IDs because they were from different states?? Dumbass we are in the military what the fuck did you want us to do? Threw our ID back at us laughed and walked away, didn't even give us a chance to show another form of ID. read more

Anna was the coolest she handled the bar on a busy Saturday night like a pro. Ps my bullet whiskey was 7.50. A real great place for a quality drink for a good price and you can watch games. Ps bring your own food. read more

You will get bang for your buck if you know what I mean. Any mixed drink you get, you will definitely taste the alcohol.

Cool bar, I decided to come by myself. Bartender was cool and attentive. I didn't have an issue here. will come again. read more

Jimmy Bones - Beer and some chips - Sports Bars Near Me - Orange, California

Was new to the area and came across this place picking up dog food and quickly became a must go to every time I was in the area. The staff was beyond friendly and the company inside as well. Quickly I felt apart of the community and noticed the bar loved to give back by holding fundraiser for its community members and anyone in need. Also one of the few places open every Sunday and playing every NFL game. read more

Oh yeah boy a sports bar? MY KIND OF PLACE. Just kidding. Came here with my man friend at the insistence of cheap beers and good company. Ordered a Miller Lite and felt like a dude. Juke box plays sick tunes, heard Dion's 'The Wanderer' and went apeshit, it's my favorite song. Not too remarkable for a nonsports fan but it's a chill place and honesty? I'll probably be back. read more

Very clean, friendly, and kinda stuffy sports bar. Quiet, no super loud music . Full of locals, not drunks. Decent bar prices. Lots of tvs for sports. Great beer selection and hard alcohol variety. Very kind bartender. Come here to talk and enjoy friends, not to be a drunk. Respect this business and their environment, cause it's a good one. read more

When the bartender asked for my ID I showed them my Mexican passport and he said he couldn't accept it. I've never had an issue with my Mexican passport. I use it to travel and go to bars but for some reason he said he couldn't take it. I had to call my friends to meet me somewhere else. Really disappointed. read more

Such a great bar, love the owners like my high school buddy Doug, Dave Goodman and Scotty D. Best bartenders in the business like big Matt and Jack Clark the football coach! The place to be in Orange! Got Golden Tee and also the spot where I missed my high school reunion! Elmo 1997! read more

I feel like this little bar is trying to be a lot cooler than it actually is. My friends and I stopped in here for a drink before heading rollerskating this past Friday night. For it being about 9pm on a Friday we didn't have a problem grabbing a seat at the bar. The bartender was nice enough, but actually got snotty with me when I asked if they had PBR. Sorry, you're kind of a dive bar, I had wishful thinking. No need to get bitchy sir and start comparing it to Natty Ice. Then when my friend asked him to make her something fruity he immediately asked, "Oh like a Long Island... or maybe an Adios?" Thanks for the compliment that we LOOK 21, but I assure you we're not. I ended up getting a double vodka soda and she got a Long Beach because those seemed like safe bets. My drink ended up being pretty strong surprisingly enough. But with the $8 price tag and the environment, I don't think it was worth it, and I really don't see myself coming back here again. I'd rather brown bag it in the parking lot before rollerskating next time. read more

My friends were feeling nostalgic so we decided to hit up Holiday Skate Rink and valiantly try to not kill ourselves rollerskating. I'm not much of a fan of skating or sports or really anything where I have to break a sweat without the hopes of an orgasm at the end of it so suffice to say I wasn't too excited until OH HELL YES there is a bar in the same parking lot!!!! Well the skating lasted all of thirty minutes and then the party moved to the bar. And let me just say I may not be much of a skater but I'm the Kristy Yamaguchi of drinking. The bartender was super cool and friendly, the beers were ice cold and the bathrooms (My drunk ass used both Guys and Girls by the end of the evening) were freakin awesome. Mr. Bartender man poured me a shot of Jack Daniels so ginormous I could have kissed him. Good times were had by all. read more

Drinks taste like Drano= * Drunk Weirdo, maybe homeless, maybe convict in the corner= * MERCH= * MERCH. Very smart. With a name like Jimmy Bones across your thong.... think about it....can you really do wrong? Totally makes up for having an OK jukebox, and not being Marty's. Drinks are almost too strong. They serve beers in pint glasses. I drank & spilled Whiskey, they refilled for no charge. Babe meter very very poor, like most of my favorite bars. Heard some old guy called a girl with too much makeup " Rocky Mountain Horror". Maybe he confused Broke Back Mountain for Rocky Horror Picture show? IDK. Don't get all dressed up to go here, unless you want weird looks. Went with my boyfriend, should go with a group. If Jimmy Bones were my date, i'd say he gets another date, but he better promise me a good time, and bring flowers (in this case Jimmy Bones Thongs). read more

RIP Jimmy 'Bones' Ashton 5/18/10 In our hearts forever. read more

Randomly popped up on the yelp homepage with really good ratings which left me really, really confused? As far as dive bars go, um NOTHING special, kitschy or remotely interesting. The pool table was uneven, needed new felt, my crown royal, and grey goose cocktails were no less expensive than anywhere else. The "regular" patrons gave us dirty stare down looks, eeek washed up alcoholics, in fact it was a rather depressing bar. I mean let's not romanticize this, it's not some Tobey Keith picture perfect American by any means, no way jose Even worse the only "decent" song lol I could find on the juke box was Lynyrd Skynyrd 'Free Bird' and if I hadn't paid for that there would be NO MUSIC Also it's catty corner to a HUGE Christian Bookstore, weird stuff, that basically explains the vapid shittiness of the stripmall it is in. I guess go to the circle for more ambiance and culture, this place is for straight up alkies and desperate college students. read more

Sunday afternoon had to get out of the house to chill and maybe catch a game. Decided to make the 20 min drive and check-out some never before visited bars. First stop, "Jimmy Bones." It's in a shopping center but luckily had a billboard advertisement to let drivers know its in the shopping center. Walked in and thought, "Oh boy, definitely a locals spot." Sat at the bar and noticed a nice array of ethnicity. Several white/hispanic/black. Everyone was wearing diff NFL jerseys but it was a chill vibe. I sat at the bar and the bartender with the handlebar stach was super cool. allowed me to taste a newer beer before ordering. He joked and treated my like arg even tho he knew I was a boot. I was surrounded by locals but they were super cool. All over the age of 30. the beer was $9.25 for a 32 oz (I think) which was a good price. People were coming in with food from outside and offering to share with strangers. Started talking to "David" and a few other locals and really had a great time. I had to go to some bar named, Blondies, so I left after 45 mins. btw, Blondies is no Bueno) I went back to Jimmys and enjoyed another hour. Really a great bar. there isn't music but that could be because the games were on. It also would have been cool to have a kitchen there but there are so many food places around it really doesn't matter. I'll be back when I have a designated driver for sure. read more

I saw a couple of uncool write ups about this place... Don't worry, we didn't like you either. But if you are a semi decent person you will love and respect Jimmy Bones for what it is, and you are always welcome you to come give it another try. It's why you pay taxes. It's why you know the Pledge of Allegiance. It is the USA. Love it or leave it. read more

This is a great little bar I stumbled upon while trying to find a cheap local place to wet my whistle. It is a bit of dive/sports bar so I wouldn't recommend first dates here...(unless she is awesome), but it is great for boozing on a budget. They have TVs with sports, a 75 cent pool table and many specials...but best of all is an every day 3 dollar 24oz Pabst. Drink cheap! Also (although I have never seen it) there is a sign saying they got Wii! Really!?! How does that work? I wanna do drunken Wii tennis with strangers...who wouldn't? Hell, I'd even bring mine just so that damn thing can get a little action...hopefully me too. Not too much bad to speak of...no designated smoking area...just out front and out back. It is a little small as mentioned and the crowds seem to be a bit older...but hell, if it saves me a cab ride and i can get a buzz going under 15 bucks...I'm in! read more

This is an early evening after work stop for myself and my coworkers. 32oz beers for around $5.00. Pickled Eggs for a buck. I love me some pickled eggs. The bathroom is wallpapered with outdated magazine photos of shirtless men. All in all I'm not easily frightened by the colorful crowd that attends and I enjoy a quiet place to knock back a cold beer and recap the days events with a friend. If I didn't bring one, I can always find someone to chat with. Cheers! read more

Love this place. It's the best dive bar in town. Matt is one bad ass bartender. I know because i manage bars. Owe come here all the time just to enjoy his services. Oh and the hot dogs are bomb! I was shocked! read more

Cool spot to have a few beers. I don't recommend closing the place down. The popo drive around here just waiting for people to leave the spot @ 1:30-2am-ish. read more

I went here for a friends bday who is a regular here at Jimmy Bones, so I probably didn't experience the bar for what it really was, which probably would've been shitty otherwise. I agree with the other people on here saying that the drinks are strong, but they are quite expensive. I ordered a $9 jager bomb. The bartender was cool, but the lady who "owns" or "manages" the place was a complete b!tch to me and my friends. Honestly, I know I wont come back here. It's in a really weird part of the strip mall with Outter limit tattoo in the corner. I dont know. It was just weird. read more

Stumbled upon this place on the way to the Holiday Skate place for a bday party. It is a typical neighborhood bar, but friendlier than most. For a 1st timer I was made to feel very welcome. Bartenders smiling, patrons smiling and chatty. Oh, maybe cuz of the triple pours! Damn!! Plenty of TV's, couple video games, you get the picture. It is hidden in one of OC's bazillion strip malls, behind the Rite Aid practically under the 55 fwy @ chapman. Oh, perused the jukebox and it had a good variety of stuff, Ramones, Elvis, uh....um....thats all I remember, triple pours ya know. read more

This is the first time I've ever been here and let me tell you this is the friendliest bar I ha e ever walked into!!! All the customers in here honestly make you feel welcomed and the bartender, Jake, seriously one of the nicest bartenders I've met in a while. He had no problem answering any questions I had. They have a small menu but they have take out menus behind the bar so you can actually eat what you want and not have to leave the bar! They also have a good truck that comes by!!! Best idea ever!!! We will be coming back not only because the staff and other customers in here are super friendly but because this place is what a bar should be and is relaxing and fun!!! read more

Jimmy Bones - Best sign ever!!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Orange, California

The drinks are stiff, so thats a plus. However, I was hoping they'd be a little less expensive given the divey atmosphere. The bartender was experienced and knew how to handle the whole crowd all by his lonesome. I spotted an antique register; the kind you'd find in a western saloon. Call me weird, but I thought that was really cool. My only gripe is that its super narrow, and being that it was pretty packed when I went, there was really nowhere to stand without being in the way of people walking in and out. This is probably one of those joints where you have to be a local to really love it. read more

This place is great. It's one of my favorite dive bars. The drinks are strong and cheap. The bartenders are attentive and efficient. The pickled eggs are delicious. We live around the block so it's only a 5 minute walk. The bar is conveniently located near a 24 hour walk in taco place. It's perfect for those late night munchies. read more

I have been to this place a few times over the past year with great service. However, I came in last night and the service was just awful!!!! The normal bartender was not there and this other guy with the beard and belly sucked. Did not even acknowledge us and was looking at his phone the entire time at the bar. We could not even get a drink or any kind of service. We ended up walking out. This was a slow Monday night and this guy could not get it in gear. read more

Best fun dive bar in Orange County. Bartenders are great, atmosphere is friendly and fun. Stumbled upon this treasure and it's a must!

Well...they have a sign that says no personal arguments are you will be asked to leave. Really wish that was true. 2 guys started arguing about...no idea what, but the words go fuck yourself kept getting said to one another. So much for the relaxing bar. read more
