Could have been a reasonable interaction but the bartender, who we found out is the owner, came up to us said you can't bring a drink in here at all and hit the table with his fists. But did not go up to the others who had energy drinks, which weren't sold there... Another man got yelled out by the owner also for singing over him. Overall was a hostile and aggressive approach very unnecessary. Then he sat outside to smoke and talk to the other patrons about what happened lmao Definitely just a dive bar, I would not come back.

I admit that I was a little bit nervous when I first came into this place. I'm not from Woodlake…read moreand I didn't know what kind of reception I would get. I finally got up the nerve to go in with a friend of mine on a Saturday night and while it wasn't jam packed, there was a good number of people there singing and laughing, plus they were doing karaoke! Since that first time in there, I've been back quite a few times and I've noticed a few things. 1) No one is going to let you sit alone for very long. Someone is going to come up to you and greet you and engage you in a conversation. 2) The men and women who hang out in Smokey's are some of the most wonderful people, very friendly! 3) The bartenders are some of the most welcoming and friendly people I've ever met. 4) Great selection and prices for the beer! The atmosphere is so laid back and relaxed, it's very quickly becoming my favorite place to go spend a few hours after work to just chill out and relax. Plus the taco truck right next door has amazing food! Great company, great beer, and great access to food makes this place so wonderful. I've truly never met nicer, more friendly people than I have here. Don't judge it for it's appearance, get to know the people inside. I don't regret coming here every day, the people make it so easy!

A very nice watering hole replete with a few bikers or groups of locals and not too locals hanging around for a few cold ones together. The staff was pleasant and helpful and really wanted to make our stay enjoyable. No food is served, but barbecue is in the planning.although they switched out the O'doul's NA beer for the new NA on the block, I still give the place 4 stars. The return of O'doul's and the addition of a good bbq sander or two just might get it 5 Stars from me.

Pedro was very nice and attentive, your kindness is greatly appreciated . Food: NY steak and eggs were great. They cooked my steak medium as I asked for it and the potatoes were delicious too. Chicken and waffles were okay but my grandpa said his food was cold so we asked Pedro if we could get a new order of chicken . It was unfortunate cause the older lady came and said "I don't know why it would be cold, give me the chicken I'll microwave it for you" that really made me sad the fact she questioned us and not remaking us a new order. Besides that I mean the chicken and waffle was good in taste but it was cold

Visalia Brewing Company has been there a long time. The atmosphere is very chill, the bartenders…read moresuper friendly- once they notice you. For most people that's not very hard. But, having gone in twice now within the space of one week, there is a GIANT issue that has nothing to do with the food (Smith&Lakeys food is amazing), or service once the bartenders are made aware of your presence. But, being a wheelchair bound, service dog using disabled person I was absolutely appalled that there is not a single ADA compliant table in the entire place. There is one small section of bar that technically could be ADA compliant, but it's piled high with bar paraphernalia. There is a table way in the back passed the bar, near the kitchen, that's still a high top, but has benches that I could use as a table while my family ate on the actual table, or my husband could lift me up onto the bench, but it wasn't 100% safe for me, I ended up with quite the bruise from catching the corner with my hip. Then we had to try to signal, wave down, call for, and eventually one of our party had to leave the table to try to get the bartenders attention. Once they realized we were there, the service was fantastic. But, you would think that in 2024 they would realize that physically disabled people like to go out with family and friends too. I felt less than, unwelcome, and like I was a nuisance because I couldn't see over the bar, couldn't walk around to get their attention, and had to eat off a bench the first time and got hurt trying to be "normal" the second. The ADA is a federal law that provides that all public spaces be equipped for a disabled person. Even if it's just one table. Why hasn't VBC done this?

New in town and decided to check this spot out in September 2025 and I've been coming in ever…read moresince. I was cautious at first because it looks sketchy from the outside, but so far I haven't had any issues. The crowd consists of locals that go there regularly. So far, the people I've met out there have seemed cool and friendly. It's usually Bri (or Bree - not sure how she spells it) when I stop in. She's been nothing but cool and nice since I've been going. Very down to earth. She's always on top of things and I never had to wait too long for a drink, even when she's swamped she still checks to see if people are good on drinks. They got a wide selection of booze at dive bar prices. There's 2 pool tables as well as a juke box. They don't serve food, but they do sell snacks like bags of chips. Would be nice if they had more TV's since they only have 1 on the side wall. I try to stop by once or twice a week when I'm in town. It's a solid place to unwind, have a drink, shoot some pool or shoot the BS with the locals. Cheers!
