Best dive bar ever. I'll be back regularly to run the juke box, watch Sunday football and drink all the drinks. read more

Cool local bar, a place to go to have a drink and shoot some pool. Dress down and just be casual get few quarters and play some music while you hangout with your friends and if you did not come with any friends than you will make some friends. I like going there because it keeps me grounded. read more

I've walked and driven by this place for years and finally decided to stop in for a drink. It's a quiet little place where the drinks are poured generously. The bartender was Ginger a bubbly and efficient mixologist. She kept the patrons engaged and well served. Exactly what you want when you want to just unwind. I felt immediately at home, and will become a regular. Perfect way to wait out a rainy day! So stop by and have a drink or several and maybe play a game of pool or two. Cheers! read more

Came here for the first time and unfortunately it was the older blonde bartender that was here that people have yelped about before. Everything about her is true... We ordered a pitcher of beer that cost 11.25 and she wouldn't take any change unless they were quarters. And it's not like they were pennies, I was paying with nickels and dimes. At first I thought she was joking but I looked up and she had a cold look on her face... anyways we needed change to play pool and my friend asked her for a quarter and she snapped 'I told you before that we don't take other change than quarters.' Totally rude, I don't know how it is with the other bartenders... but if she wasn't a total bitch then I'd actually back here. I wouldn't recommend this bar to anyone at all... read more

Best bar in Costa Mesa!!! Fun location Great music. Great bartenders. Great people!! I would come here everyday if I could read more

Welcome to the diviest dive bar in Costa Mesa!

This is a tiny local bar. Nothing really notable. The bartender wasn't very nice, which is important for a bar this size. I wouldn't recommend it. There are other local bars around that are so much better. read more

nice little place for a beer. great little smoking area.

Super fun! Great neighborhood bar. Walking distance. Great place to just get a cold one. Then hear the local news. Dress code ! Beach casual. Everyone there is beyond nice. read more

Used to be a great neighbourhood spot, prices went way up and they only except cash. Oh well, I can spend my money and play keno elsewhere

I miss this place. I used to go here because it was the closest bar for a drink. But, it was more than that. Yes, it is a dive, but a good dive. The bartenders are cool to talk to, they have a good happy hour and there is usually pretty good people watching, sometimes a bit sketchy, but mostly friendly and entertaining. I like this place because you can just show up wearing whatever and no one shows up to try and impress anyone like a lot of other places in Costa Mesa, Newport Beach area. Oh, and they have a jukebox with some pretty good tunes which is always nice. read more

This bar cracks me up. It's a dirty dive bar and when I ordered a beer they pulled it out of a cooler that you would use when you go camping. Also, the lady behind the bar is pissed off that she has to come to work. I won't be going back. read more

Stiff drinks and cool juke box. We play hot spot and get a kick out of the regulars. All of the bartenders have been super cool. Only microwave food so go somewhere else for that and it would be cool if they had a better wine selection and better draft beer but looks like they do have a lot of bottle and can beer. We go for the cocktails and always have a good time. Close to home so we can uber and you can leave your car parked overnight without worrying about getting towed if you drink to much. read more

I went here for my first time last night, and it was a great time. The crowd was very friendly and the pool tables were actually decent for a dive. I play a lot of pool, so that is very important for me. I plan on visiting here everytime I am in the area in the near future. I felt extremely welcomed by the bartendress, she was very quick with a drink and never let you sit thirsty. I can not wait to visit again! read more

Sue is rude to many people and we waited 10 mins for a drink. I was not happy and come here all the time.

Staff so great! Let us choice sports channel, helped with pool problems, and great strong drinks! Just visiting and treated like a local! Thank you!! read more

I love madalyns. Bartenders are very nice. I love Kaysee the am bartender, she's always happy. Sue, is always super nice, and professional. Love her!!! And Laurie the night time bartender, has to deal with a lot... She's the night time... She's so strong and professional, the best!!! she's kind to everyone, she deals with way more than she should! She's great! It's a dive bar that I love to come to. There's also mike... 2 days a week, awesome man, I love to see him too, and there's another Casey, sweet girl also, works weekends. read more

I go to this little local bar to watch football sometimes. It seems that a bartender turns on the jukebox as soon as she walks in the door! When the rest of bar is watching the game! She doesn't ask any of the customers! This is getting tiresome! She needs to understand the customers come first! Take a vote or ask the customers if the would mind if the music came on , not just turn off the sound on the game and turn on some god awful music no one wants to listen to any read more

Very much a locals bar, we are not local, but the bartender was including Us In conversation. The bar food was cheap though we did not eat, and there was a sweet doggie greeting us at the door. If I was local, I'd consider it for a regular watering hole. read more

Awesome little dive bar right of the freeway that's cozy & has good vibes. Stopped by on a Sunday evening & Ginger was really nice. Never waited on a drink, everything was stocked, organized & clean. Regulars were there & she was attentive to everyone. Also, they have a decent selection of bottled & draft beer. Definitely stop by & check them out even if it's just to beat the traffic & or the heat. Keep up the good work & thanks guys! :) read more

Tabitha is great, Strong drinks and nice atmosphere. The juke box has lots of good music and there are pool tables too. Came here with my wife because we are staying in a hotel down the street. Couldn't have been happier. If we come back the to area we will definitely be back in. read more

My husband and I love dive bars. We drove by and knew this was our place. We were visiting from out of town and staying at a nearby hotel. Tabitha was our bartender and she was nice, hilarious, and knew how to mix a strong drink. Wish it was closer to home! read more

We came here for our first date 6 months ago me we always come back because the best bartender in the OC is here so come say hi to Sue cause she frickin rocks and so does Jessica. Get your butts in here read more

LOVE THIS BAR! Good drinks, great people,fun bartenders. Go see Tabitha on Monday and Thursday nights. She makes one hell of a drink!

I think who ever wrote that review about sue is an ass because she is always nice and very kind..She keeps the bar clean and free from drama and if in fact she closed it at 1:20 will that would be because A no one was in the bar or B you were an ass and not wroth her time.To be so rude and post shit like that is crab and really just goes to show how ugly of a person you are to say such shit.Sue your awesome Alex rocks.Also at least when Sue is working you don't have to worry about the cops are some fight and you will get a drink fast.Can't say that for everyone special if your not one of the pack you can count on being pushed aside.Sue is always professional and takes her job seriously never judges nor make you feel like an outsider.Sue your awesome read more

It is always a great place to stop in at. Always pleasant bartenders. Kacie is one of my favorites. But they are all great. Always nice, clean, and friendly environment. It's a great place to stop for a drink and pool. read more

Really crappy (but fun) bar. It's old and rinky dink. A definite dive bar. They serve only sutter home wine and their beer is from a can sitting in a cooler. You really go for the liquor I guess. But the redeeming quality is the pool table, cheap drinks, and jukebox. read more

Awesome place the bar tender is really very nice and good looking, hah very good servicce. Would definitely return.

Stopped by after the fair Sunday night. Typical dive bar...couple pool tables, jukebox, and bagged snacks for sale. Although not a regular, the bartender Ginger was very friendly to me (not to mention cute), taking time to talk with me throughout my time there. Asked her for something refreshing after a long day (I'm not a beer drinker) & she made me a very tasty, cool drink...I ended up having two. I'll definitely be stopping by again. read more

Cool people to hang with good food prices are good enviorment layed back ya never know.

Love this bar its a dive bar but its very open lots of sun light and nice bar stools to sit on not all ripped up I personally love weekend Kaysee shes the best always is very nice and pleasent and funny shes def. my favorite bartender. Pool tables, ice cold beer it comes out of a cooler but that just makes it even colder, the drinks are great and cheap they even have champagne which I love, great new jukebox, lots of locals the owner is very nice too its worth checking out oh and they also have hot spot which is a major plus. read more

Not a great experience. Bad customer service. Bartender looked inconvenienced and only interested in regulars who she was talking. She had an attitude because we didn't have less than 20 bills. Drinks were a weak pour. read more

Stay away on Sunday nights. The bartender is a mess and only pays attention to her male customers. She can't get the orders right or make change. She also shows her male customers nasty pictures on her phone. The other bartenders are all much better at what they do than Ginger. Don't know why she is still there. Just do yourself a favor and stay away on Sunday's read more

It's a neighborhood bar that serves strong drinks, cheap prices, decent pool tables, tv's, patio, new internet jukebox, wi-fi, and friendly bartenders. Close to home so we can ride our bikes. read more
