They do it in the back patio area where there's a stage and lighting. And enough seating and when the seating is taken up there's still enough room for standing room only. So I'd say check it out starting September 9th and every other Wednesday after that there will be Comedy. Also starting on Saturday, October 3rd, every other Saturday night there will also be Comedy for those that can't make it out on Wednesday nights.

If you like to play pool Thursdays are pool nights. Pricing is fair and even if you don't go on Thursday there are a lot of people that like playing pool there they even have a white board where people put there names to play pool next great system. Drinks are good could not get a pina colada there but did get a tequila sunset. Prices are good.

A few months ago that changed for me and my partner. We thought we might fight being banned for a simple private message, instead we acquiesced to their need to banish us, the Orwellian atmosphere that is now the Hook Up, is simply too much. I won't bash this place because they employ people I care about deeply.

I really like this bar and the bartenders make great cocktails. Unfortunately, the customer service…read morehas been inconsistent. The vibe and attitude from some of the staff can come across as unwelcoming, which takes away from an otherwise great experience. Customer service is a huge part of any business, and based on my most recent visit as well as a few previous one I left feeling disappointed. I genuinely enjoy this place and want to keep coming back, so I hope management takes a closer look at the customer experience and holds staff to a higher standard. The bar has a lot of potential, but the service needs to match the quality of the drinks.

We came here for Sunday brunch during a special event, and overall it was a decent experience with…read morea few hits and misses. The bottomless mimosas ($29.99) sound like a great deal, but just know how they run it. There's a 90-minute minimum, and they don't bring a bottle to the table--you get one mimosa at a time, and you have to finish it before they'll bring another. The first one I got tasted like straight orange juice barely any champagne. I sent it back and to their credit, they remade it much better They mentioned they control pours to keep the environment in check, which I understand--but if you're expecting free-pour vibes, that's not the case here. Food-wise: French toast & breakfast potatoes were really good However the Chilaquiles were super dry and lacked flavor--wouldn't recommend Burger & fries were decent, but nothing special As for drink pricing, it does lean a bit on the higher side. bucket of 5 beers was around $42, $15 for a Tito's vodka shot, and even a basic Jack and Coke came out to about $18 with tip, which felt a little steep for the area. the best deal was definitely the green tea shots at only $9 I will say, our waitress Priscilla was great. She had a lot of tables and seemed a bit overwhelmed, but she still made an effort to check on us and kept my mimosas coming pretty promptly. I didn't have to wait long at all between refills, which I appreciated. Since we went for a special event, the DJs were great and really kept the energy up the whole time Parking was easy. It did say there was a $2 fee, but when we printed the ticket, we weren't charged--so it might be free, but I'd still double-check at the kiosk just in case. Overall: decent spot for the vibe, music, and brunch outing, but just be prepared for controlled drinks and slightly higher prices.

But when CMI announced a show I had to be there. And lemme tell ya. This place is awesome. Located on a section of Pomona with numerous clubs and bars Characters sticks out as it's on the end and the sign is easy to see. There's ample parking and if there's nothing in the lot, the streets have plenty available. Security was cool with no hassle. As I walked in I was expecting a greasy dive bar with sticky floors and garbage lighting. No! Total opposite. Very clean and the crowd was cool. Pool tables were pushed to the side and the stage was nice and high. Sound was phenomenal and of course the bands were awesome. It's 21+ so keep that in mind if you're interested in an upcoming show. Characters was the total opposite of what I was expecting. At least indoors it's a great place to see a show. It checks all the boxes for what I'm looking for and I'd go back 100%. Highly recommended!

If the jukebox is not playing music, all you can hear is the clanking of pool balls and the whir of AC. TVs on the side walls are off, probably to save money on electricity.

Went again yesterday because I was meeting a friend who wanted to smoke on the shady patio. Otherwise I would have gone down the street where they have a good happy hour. I will come back to try the food sometime. I do like that they have snack size items as well as dinner plates. Weirdly the restroom has two toilets, you can go with a friend!

What we liked: Fish and chips. It's classic comfort food-light, airy not doughy. Of course, there's a solid selection of beers, seltzers and cider, and seltzer, plus non-alcoholic options like sodas. It can get loud, there are TVs everywhere, and the energy picks up--but the staff stays attentive and friendly. The bartenders here are very welcoming. Hubs loves soccer, and game nights can get pretty rowdy, depending on who's playing. Curious to come back on a non-game night ti catch the vibe, but overall-no complaints.
