I've been going to the O in Chico for three and a half years now. The cheeseburger and fries are amazing. I was told to get a half order of fries, and it seemed like a full basket. Lol. Great people work here, and the vibe is always good. Ture story. read more

Great service and hamburger . Train going by was a plus! Parking is easily obtainable.

great dive bar / sports bar AND the longest running bar in Chico -- it's truly an institution. the reason I'm writing THIS review? the burger is incredible... just a simple "old school" hand pressed burger patty cooked on a flat-top grill, BAM! the decades of seasoning have permeated into the soul of the entire kitchen and flavors are juicy and meaty, a "comfort food" type of burger. and the full bar is lovely as are the bartenders, and many of the clientele are over the age of 60 and have been coming here since they were in college. the sports bar part of the place has everything being played on a screen somewhere -- I just found Cricket on TV! a working man's vibe -- get a "double cheeseburger with pepper jack, no onions" and tell 'em Brando sent'cha! read more

Oasis Bar & Grill - so simple, so fulfilling - American Near Me - Chico, California

See all

Restaurant, sports bar and pool hall with lots of tv screens showing various sports events. Nice range of beers on tap, including Guinness Stout. Burgers and fries are excellent. It can get a bit noisy when the pool hall section is full. A fun place and and close to CSU Chico campus. read more

Been going to the "O" for 50 years now. Found it back in 1975...It was the place to hang in my college days. Stacy became the owner around 1976. The 'O' was smaller back then, but they expanded and added lots of pool tables and raised the roof. BEST BURGERS in town! And Monday night is '2 for price of 1' Burger Night (that also goes back 50 years). The 'O' (Oasis Bar and Grill) is essence of Chico...I am old now but hope to keep headed to the 'O' for another 10 or 20 years. Love the place. I still have a glass pitcher from 1977 that kind of came home with me on 'Dollar Pitcher' night (those prices are gone) but I still have the pitcher. Guess I should return it -- laugh read more

Oasis Bar & Grill - The Oasis Bar & Gril, back in 1977 - American Near Me - Chico, California

Went there and met some friends. We had a good time and watched the NFL Playoff Game. Plenty of Large Screen TV's and quite a few pool tables. They have a full bar and of course beer on tap. They also serve food. The burgers looked pretty good. I know they had good fries. I had a few. Good place to hang out, have a few drinks. read more

Been going to "The O" since our college days in the late 70's. Great burgers, cheap pitchers and friendly staff. Rainy days we have our "Safety Meetings" here - an excuse for us Farmers and our friends to meet for lunch and afternoon drinks. We also meet for football and basketball pool picks/games. read more

Came into the bar and Mikey the bartender was left all alone as the cook called off last minute. Mikey killed it!!! He served us with a smile on his face although he was literally behind the bar and in the kitchen. I hope the owner sees this and knows what a gem Mikey is!! read more

I got violently ill after eating at Oasis Friday night. The friend I was with got sick also. Avoid.

Kim was friendly and helpful. I got the hamburger and chicken strip basket. Both were good. It's a darling bar with great atmosphere. Lots of pool tables and TVs and a few video games. They even have James Bond Dr. No. I asked for no onions on my burger. And it had onions. I picked them off, but it is a common mistake that I wish people would pay more attention to. Definitely a top-notch hangout spot. read more

Love this bar for the BRST cheeseburger in town. Staff is super friendly and always remember my name. Conveniently located close to work so makes for an easy getaway for lunch. If you haven't been you must try! read more

Oasis Bar & Grill - My favorite cheeseburger and skinny fries in town! - American Near Me - Chico, California

Great bloody mary. Bad social experience. Some weirdo flipped my husband off when he was enjoying his drink. Then the guy ran out. Then the guy came back. Then we left. Not ever going back. read more

Huge TVs for sports, billiards, digital jukebox, beer on tap and the BEST burger in Chico

Great burgers!.. great tvs for games! Best dive bar in Chico! Always a good vibe local spot read more

First time walking in this place. Mostly grown hairy men drinking beer and looking at everyone who walks in the door. The cooks were having a major argument and one was about to quit. The food did not look that great either. Just fried drinking food. read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I was there Friday night playing pool, and they held my ID for the pool balls. When I went back to return the balls, I gave the bartender my name so he could grab my ID for me. Unfortunately I just put it back in my wallet without checking it. Found out the next day that I was given someone else's ID, with a completely different name. I get accidents happen, but it still sucks. Unfortunately for me, I live an hour away from here, so I called to make sure they have my ID before driving all the way back. When I asked the person on the phone if it's there, all he said was, "I'm not checking right now", then hung up. Literally nothing else was said. I get that it may have been busy when I called, but there are better ways to handle that situation. read more

I come to the Oasis for affordable delicious beer, the best tater tots man--and maybe the gods--can produce, high quality sound from the juke box, and alot of space so I can grab a corner and work on my lap top with the good wifi. The veggie burger is decent and yes, subject to 2 for 1 burger Mondays. It is a blue collar man's bar I guess up to the point college kids or big groups arrive in joyous throngs. Regulars are friendly and the crowd is diverse. Peggy is my favorite bartender. I still think Stacey should make a woman's corner and have Oxygen or Own running on its TV. read more

Girlfriend & I last night went to Oasis Sports Bar & had a great burger & fries!! Their lime Margarita was yummy to say the least!! Had a free coupon for two to use there so it was our first time there. read more

Oasis Bar & Grill - Taken at a park in Solvang, CA. - American Near Me - Chico, California

Can't speak to the food, but the bartenders are really nice dudes. The Oasis is like super divey but super chill. Large in volume, the Oasis houses a ping bong table, a full bar, and 5-6 pool tables. Great place for a chill night, or happy hour after class. read more

Great location! and really enjoyed the atmosphere! Sports bar Mecca! So many HD TV's! Great deal on drinks and food. Friendly staff too. Look forward to having a few beers etc next Friday. read more

Giving this place 3 stars was a mistake, best dive bar in Chico, cheap and fun

This went from my favorite dive bar in Chico, to a place I will never go to again. This place used to have cheap drinks, fried food, free pool, free shuffleboard, ping pong, beer pong, music, and glitter tattoos in the sticker machine. We went there last week after a few years of living away, and now you have to pay by the hour to rent the pool tables, they got rid of the shuffleboard (which was my favorite part), I paid $8 for a little tiny well martini DURING HAPPY HOUR (this is what I expect to pay in the bay area, but for Chico, that's quite a rip off). I put 2 quarters in the glitter tattoo sticker machine and nothing came out. ripoff. not coming back any longer. Sorry, we will never again be "O-bound." read more

I love the burgers at the "O", it's the employees that made me rate this place 2 stars. I have been eating at the O for 4 years (and 35 years ago when I went to Chico State) and the burgers are awesome.... Fresh meat and cooked very nicely. However every employee I have encountered at this place has been unfriendly or plain rude. I am thinking it must be a requirement to work there. To the owner.... I love the burgers so I put up with the employees, but not everyone feels the same way. My wife will not go to the place. PS. I love your pictures. If only your employees actually smiled like that! read more

I could be biased because I lived about 50 feet away on W. first street. Shuffleboard, pool tables, cheap pitchers of beer, lots of parking, lots of friendly people, lot of oldies but goodies, a jukebox, and the bartender might remember your name if you're here often enough. Also, it's only a couple blocks from campus. Liquid lunch, anyone? read more

Alright this is my 3rd update! I'm now madly in love with the burgers here! Best flavor in all of Chico. The burgers are fresh and delicious!!! Not even Nobby's burgers have flavor this good. If you haven't had a burger here, you need to. I feel like I've been cheated out of years of my life for not knowing these delicious burgers existed. I think the only burgers I like better are my own or from Izzy's in Paradise. I must not forget to mention those tater tots! Perfect bar snack. Love this place. read more

Oasis Bar & Grill - American Near Me - Chico, California

Don't let the looks of this place fool you. I always skipped this bar although I live super close to it just because it doesn't look like your typical college scene. The good news--it's not. In a good way. They have cheap drinks, a good beer selection, bar food, and LOTS of games to play including pool and shuffle board. Classic music, friendly bartenders, and I believe I counted something like 15 TVs in case you are trying to catch a game. read more

this bar is gross, but their burgers only $5 and really amazing! So good! Bar has the sketchiest people and is so dark. Near campus and has a parking lot. Burgers seriously so good! read more

This is the Best Ole School Bar in Chico. Lots of fun, Great O Burgers and Cold Beer, Plus a Full Bar! Great People Too. Pete F-81 read more

I used to live a block away from "The O" and we called it so we used to go there all the time. This really is a great little dive bar. we used to get 25 cent Kamakazi shots and play ping pong for hours. This is a great little spot, worth checking out! read more

What a neat bar! I asked for a salty dog which they had never heard of but the bar tender followed my directions and she made an awesome salty dog. AND at $4.50 it tasted even better. read more

Just wanted to play pool, came from oroville. Bartender was nice. Played pool for about 1 1/2 was $8.00. read more

Horrible customer service and food is terrible I give 0 stars if I could but yelp doesn't allow it.

cool bar, in fact the oldest bar in Chico, Shuffle board, pool tables and ping pong. It is only crowded on tuesdays and is very low key. I definately recommend it. read more

Clean, comfortable, and great staff. This is a great place to catch a game and have a drink. I love the prices of the drinks and the choices of beer that are there. They do have wine and cider there for those who can't have Gluten. Their burgers are amazing and the cooks are willing to wrap the burgers in lettuce if need be. In total there are 7 pool tables. 6 of them are pay by hour and one of them is .75 a game. They do have a ping pong table as well. I love the fact that there is karaoke on Wednesdays and FREE pool on Sundays. :) read more

If you're one of those strange people who goes to Chico State but hates dealing with shit like 'Power Hour' or any bar filled with v-necks and fohawks, then this is the place for you. Unlike its Chico bar bretheren, The Oasis is almost never crowded, which means no waiting in line for drinks, and no macho men trying to out-douche one another for the affection of liquered up and plastically enhanced females. It's just real Chico people, drinking and having a good time. Here is a list that covers just a few of the awesome things the Oasis has going for it: 1. Closest bar to campus not called The Bear (it's right behind the new WREC center) 2. BEST Jukebox in Chico! Anytime you go to 'The O' you are almost guarenteed to hear at least one song by Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Zeppelin, and Garth Brooks. ABSOLUTELY NO TECHNO HOUSE BULLSHIT! 3. The O Burger is one of the best in town, and might be the most affordable as well. 4. Great place to meet people who have great stories. This place has got a nice collection of folk from every age group, and almost every one of 'em has got a story to tell. 5. It's the most historically significant bar in Chico. This was THE greek bar at Chico State in the 60's and early 70's, as evidenced by all the old greek life memoribilia that they still have on display across the bar's ceiling. 6. There is lots of fun shit for you and your friends to do whildst putting back a couple of cold ones. Six or seven pool tables, and ping pong table, and FREE TABLE SHUFFLEBOARD!! 7. They have a great staff that treat their regulars like family. 8. Best place in Chico to watch sports. They've got 12-15 huge HDTV's with every sports package you could ever want. My buddies and I had a lot of great memories at this place during our tenure at Chico State, and hopefully students continue to do the same for generations to come. read more

I didn't come here very often when I lived in Chico, but I always liked "the O". Now that I'm old, I figured it would be the perfect place to sit and have a few. It's exactly the type of place I like to go these days. We sat at the left side of the bar, and the bartender never even looked our direction. After 10 minutes, we just left. There's no shortage of bars in Chico, I'd rather go somewhere where the bartender doesn't have her head up her ass. read more

I've been hitting the Oasis since attending Chico State in the late 90's. Love the atmosphere; Old sorority and fraternity pics from the old days. Drinks are pretty inexpensive but the food can be a mixed bag depending on who's cooking. They make hand made patties with good beef but 50 percent of the time the burgers are very rare. Like it may make u sick rare. Their steak fries are fantastic though, as are the onion rings. So much potential but damn hire a cook that knows what they're doing. Rare burgers suck! read more

Cheap drinks, good food, and the best pool tables in Chico. They have great deals depending on the night. 2 for 1 burgers Monday and $1 Sierra Nevada pints Tuesday. read more

I love this bar! Friendliest bar staff in Chico, without a doubt, feels like a very welcoming family! You always feel welcome here. There is a lot to do to quench your entertainment needs. However, the food I don't trust unless your starving. The building is old and in need of dire maintenance. Some parts of the bar have an old smell which makes you wonder how long it's been since the last renovation. Besides that I have never had a bad time here. read more

I use to love this place until the Bar Tender got drunk and insulted me for tipping too small. My tab was 40 and I tipped 12, he proceeded to say "That's it?" And after I said sorry that's all I had he sent a friends to accuse me of not tipping. A 12 dollar tip is very generous for a 40 dollar tab. read more
