    Pogo's has become our hidden gem since we stumbled on it during Covid. Every dish we've tried has been seriously delicious, and the wings? Easily the best in the valley! Great drinks too. What really sets this place apart is the vibe. The bartenders are so welcoming, it feels like walking into Cheers bar every time. Great food, great people, and a place that just keeps us coming back. If you know, you know.

    Cold Happy Dad! Our new favorite drink!

    Great staff! Our buddies love Happy Dad Hard Seltzer! We play pool here all the time!

    Good times at pogos (not my car btw) lol

    This place has been my spot since I was legal enough to drink. The wings are best in town and gotta love the employees there. Game day gets poppin. Parking lot is in the back and secluded from the Main Street. Beer is priced handsomely along with the mixed drinks that get you your moneys worth. A local backyard dive bar. Nothing fancy or crazy. It's the tits plain and simple

    Hangin with Steve at pogo's!

    Pogos is an absolute gem The place is very clean and has very solid ownership. It's got great atmosphere, great drinks and the food is awesome. Pool table and a cool jukebox situation. Chantel is awesome and Jaret is ok The family does a good job running this great place. I recommend this place for anyone that wants to venture out to this valley spot.

    My favorite dive bar in the valley and the food is good too. I come at least once a week to get out for a drink and some good wings. Bartenders are dope but Vanessa and Tony are my people. I come during the week because the weekends get a little too crowded for me but I'm 41 so keep that in mind, for the younger crowd you'll love it. They have a pool table and on certain nights they have pool leagues. The crowd is always diverse but it's a bar so everyone is chill, just having a drink and mingling. This isn't the rowdy, start a fight bar this is a spark a convo in the bathroom with a stranger while pissy drunk and make a new friend bar.

    Mango cart yum!

    Came here on a Thursday evening with a friend. Love that they offer parking in the back, alley is the entrance way to it. Also, plenty of street parking around. There is an awesome jukebox which you can also download the app and use your phone to purchase and play music. They have one pool table and it accepts credit/debit cards to purchase a game. They do have plenty of seats, if you enter through the back, you will see they have a room with tables and seats, and once you enter into the bar, there are plenty more inside. So, a good spot to come watch games, football, etc. Bartenders were ok, served us our beer right away and they work quick. As for the food, I did not get a chance to try it out this time around. I think the best part of this visit for me, was the diverse music coming from the jukebox! Restroom was clean as well and gender-based. This is more of a vibe to come and chill for a few drinks, play pool or watch your sports here and wind down. Three stars for me as their beer selection did not include my favs such as blue moon, or local brewery flavors. Which is why I ordered mango cart from golden road. Overall, I do recommend you visit them for a nice pitcher of beer if you are quite thirsty! Enjoy!

    This place was pretty cool. Good jams, good food, good drinks, and pool table that people are nice to wait. I loved my drink (pineapple and cranberry mix) and the carne asada fries was good. The wings looks good but I was too full.

    Tacos and wings are best. Very casual and a lot of TVs. Probably best place to stop in for any sports game. And service is always great

    Maui Sugar Mill is exactly what I think of when someone says 'local watering hole' or 'dive bar'…read more Lanny and the crew are amazing, great bartenders and conversation starters. This used to be my spot! If you like live music, be sure to check out their blues night. Get there EARLY! Camp out at the bar and save your seat because it's about to be standing room only. You can reserve a table in advance. If you miss a live music night, just purchase some points for the jukebox. Smoking section outside, no food, but feel free to bring your own. There's pizza, sushi, and sandwiches in the same plaza, so you're set! A staple of the valley! If you go, order a Dark and Stormy for me!

    Spent Super Bowl Sunday at Sugar Mill, and it was the very best decision I've made in a long time…read more This place is most definitely "the little bar that could," with a great staff, fun and funny patrons, and an atmosphere that allows for both staunch fans and casual observers. Most people contribute to a pot luck feast that spans the wide world of food, from hot dogs and chili to baked ziti, tacos, meatballs, fried chicken, Chinese food, and on and on -- including some amazing homemade clam chowder from Mike The Mailman. Bartender Natalie did an amazing job of handling the busy crowd with speed and smiles. There were a couple of other staffers on site to watch the game, and they jumped in when she needed a hand with this or that, but for the most part Natalie captained the bar single-handedly for the duration. Kudos to her. It's true, Super Bowl only comes once a year, so other game days don't have the pot luck feast -- Sugar Mill doesn't have a kitchen, though they're happy to have you bring in whatever food you like and eat it there. Food aside, the crowd and the service are always just what you want, making it the perfect place to relax into at game time as Basketball enters the home stretch and baseball steps up to bat.

    I had an appointment earlier and decided to meet up a friend…read morefor dinner. They mentioned this place which is fine as I've alway enjoyed each visit. Plus we were meeting early which also happy hour was still happening. I think it's from 3-6. Even at 5 in the afternoon, there was no parking in the lot. And the residential parking was pretty much packed. As I had my little pup with me, we needed a table outside. It's been a while since I was seated outside. Usually it's been in the bar area. They have a back gate at the patio but it was locked. First off, the place was packed. It's been a while since it's been like that. Or maybe I've only been coming during happy hour. Also, it's somewhat seems to be a thing where you have to ask for the happy hour menus. Anyways, their items are pretty decent for prices. Drinks specials and some of the food items are worth it. We alway get a pitcher of beer for the table to share. Food wise, a couple of the ceviche. Either fish or shrimp and that's served with a tostada chip. For 12.00, it's pretty decent in size and quite tasty. Between the fish or shrimp, I prefer shrimp better. Also, two street tacos for 5.00 with many choices of protein. Lastly, the loaded fried nachos for 12.00. Let's say when they mean loaded, it was loaded. That too comes with your choice of protein which I went with the al pastor. The food was great. Reasonable price and well portioned. Plus the chips and bean dip to start off. They also accommodate some salsas with chips which is nice. Before it would alway be the bean dips and you would have to ask for the salsa. If you want fresh guacamole, they have someone that will prepare it table side to your liking. This visit, there was also the mariachi band walking around asking people if that wanted any requests. The service was great, the staffs all are amazing and friendly. Some familiar faces which is nice.

    Very good service! All the plates…read more We had was very good ! And was very clean ! Definitely recommend this place !
