Rack Um Up - bomb pops with hh menu - Sports Bars Near Me - Tustin, California

My fiancé and I stopped in for a drink and to play a couple of games of pool before a dinner reservation. We opened a tab and paid for two games of pool, and had just started our first game when an employee who was clearing empty glasses walked over, put a penny on the table, and said, "I got next." We politely told him we had already paid for two games and that he could play after we finished. His response was that he works there and "it doesn't work like that." I've never been to an establishment where an employee, while on the clock, kicks paying customers off a pool table so he can play himself. Completely unprofessional and uncomfortable. Needless to say, I'll never be back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to any civilized person who expects basic respect as a paying customer. read more

Do not come here if you're looking for a good time. I read the one star reviews that are piling up and I thought to myself "every place deserves a second chance". My partner and I had a horrible time from terrible bar service to clicky addicts hogging the pool tables. You can feel the bad vibe the minute you walk in. We finally decided to leave after we started getting harassed 5 minutes into our stay. We decided to try another bar. This bar is not, is definitely not,! A bar you want to go to if your looking for lgbt friendly or if your looking to have a fun night. read more

Popped in here for a beer one evening. The place was lively with lots of folks playing pool. I usually order whiskey, but they didn't have anything I was interested in, so I had a beer. It was fine, but colder would have been better. It is an option for drinks, but probably won't become my dive bar of choice. If you like pool however... check it out. read more

Man what a shame. Came with some friends to play some pool after a night at Stowaway since it was right down the street. When we got there nobody was at the front to check our IDs so we walked right in. We were chilling in the back waiting for a table and decided to get a drink while we wait. This dude came up to us very aggressively and asked to see our ID. Then this woman thought we were laughing and started talking crap which made us feel so uncomfortable that we wanted to leave. They need to work on their customer service because that was not a good experience at all. read more

We came here after work for a coworkers going away. We had a lot of beer! I loved the gigantic size of the mugs! We did play some pool and were able to just hang around after. There was one person behind the bar but she did great and always got us our drinks quickly. Just be mindful of where you hang out, people will need plenty space to play and get around the tables. Simple places like these will always deliver on a good time if you're just trying to hang out. read more

Still cool to hang out and get drinks. Happy hour when we came in around noon so pool games were a quarter a game. Awesome vibe and bartender was so sweet read more

First time here in July 2025 and was taken care of by the beautiful and sweet Coral. She is so friendly and gorgeous! So lucky to stop by and meet her on a random Wednesday night. Cool vibe. Music and pool just low enough to talk all night if you wanted to can't wait to come back! Friend picked out the mango tart beer. Split it between the two of us, and it was yummy! read more

Went for my birthday in December and it was so much fun! There's pool tables and plenty of space at the bar. They allow food from outside and they had a taco guy before we got there selling tacos and then around 11/12 a bbq truck showed up to sell. The bar also had pizza! Free pizza just no ranch for me lol . For sure a great spot to check out read more

Best place to come shoot pool for $1 a game! Nice friendly crowd Friendly bartender's Strong drinks my fav is spicy margarita Taco stand outside Next to liquor store Open late Love this spot read more

Good Pool Tables, Good Drinks, Angry bartender no fun. Going here for over a year, looking for another place now.

Get this, server, puts half a orange in my shock top, and I look at the bottle , and I say I think your having delusions of grandeur. Then rips me off 20 bucks on a tip, bouncer tries to tackle me, misses, runs into the jukebox, and Johnny b goode comes on, so I don't know if I wanna give it 1 star or 5.. Cinemax meets showtime type beat read more

Tonight August 7, 2024 I stopped by to this bar after work, I got the best service from the bar tender (Leanne) she was very attentive and she served my beer with smile! I will be back for sure! Service is my number one priority when I drink my beer and shots "Willie EX Maitre D" from Officers club MCAS El Toro Marine Base" from 1987 to 2000. read more

Sensational place to rip some pool with the homies. Can't find a beer colder than the ones outta their taps. Staff is super kind and attentive read more

Went here last night with the intention of playing pool. The five or six Pool tables were being used so we sat at the bar. The bar tenders name was Dee and she served us two beers. One modelo from the tap and a bottled bud light. The selection on beer was pretty basic. From the looks of it, they didn't have any ipas. It's a small bar but the vibe inside was very warm and welcoming. The pool tables were all still in use so we decided to hit up another bar. There's a digital music box that you could pay money for to play some music. Overall it's a cute spot to play some pool. read more

Rack Um Up - The future - Sports Bars Near Me - Tustin, California

Rack um up. My get away spot where I come to relax and unwind from the stress of living today. I am always greeted with a smile. The bartenders are genuine, friendly, and always a pleasure to see. The crowd is pretty chill too, I've been bought drinks for me from people I don't even know. Strangers made into friends. Pool tables are a added bonus as I am always looking for a challenge. The place is always clean and well maintained. If you are looking for a place to call your second home, this is it read more

I always have a great time here!! The funny thing about drunk girls giving reviews (Brenda S) is that you looked messy and it's sad that you have a kid and you act this way!! you should be reported to CPS which I can do!! read more

Super grateful with the customer service I received today. Bartendar Coral helped me and my cousin today and we are from out of town. It was our first time here in town and the service we received was PHENOMENAL ! I will definitely be coming back to this dive bar for a good time. 5 stars overall! Love this spot! read more

I came on vacation and found this little gem and it has been the best time of my trip. The bartender Coral has been the absolute best and sweetest bartender I have ever met . She was very attentive and very professional. Everyone here made me feel at home and I'm definitely coming back!! Such a great hang out and chill spot read more

This is in response to Nancy R's review whom is clearly an alcoholic and does NOT know how a proper drink is made or the fact that your not suppose to taste the alcohol within a drink. If you want a strong drink to taste the liquor, ask for a double and PAY for a double. Bars are not in the business to serve you free liquor. Just because this place is a smaller bar do not expect a free hand out. Please do not allow this ridiculous person's review deceive you from visiting this fabulous venue. You will receive top notch care from this bar and you will receive perfectly made drinks from Leanne. read more

One long time ago was old Newport 5 . Now it's catering to the younger generation. It's all cool but little disappointed sloppy drunks . No elbow room to play pool. Bartender cool . read more

Leanne is a meanie . Picks on ppl who clearly said could you add a little more alcohol because it doesn't taste like alcohol , but charges you for it . Maybe just do your job read more

Went here over the weekend with a date. I have never been to this place and found it on Google maps. Honestly, I had higher expectations of place. I thought it was relaxed and would be to take someone for drinks, maybe play a game or two of pool. But that was definitely not it. Place is on the loud side to be having a conversation with someone. Drink prices were good. Drinks more your base drinks. My date is more into ipa,wine, espresso martini. So didn't really have her taste. . But overall, decent little place. Don't think I would take a date there again. read more

If it wasn't for the amazing service of the bartenders I would give this place negative reviews, The security guard here is so unprofessional and rude. He went up and grabbed my girlfriend when he went to go ask for her ID and was very disrespectful from the moment we walked in. If your bartenders have to apologize on your behalf you are obviously doing something wrong. It's unfortunate this guy ruins the place of business read more

This is a fun bar! We always go to fancy cocktail bars and I wanted to go to a dive bar that's low key with cool people. We got exactly that! The bartender was awesome! She made some really great drinks. The prices were fantastic. We got treated well so we tipped well! We weren't paying $18+ for a crappy watered out drink with people with mean attitudes. People looked like regulars and looked like they were having fun. I like this place. We would love to come again! Maybe we found a regular spot since we got to the OC! The vibes are good and the bartender was friendly! Highly recommend! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place at all, both the ID guy and bartender were extremely rude and disrespectful. Immediately I felt uncomfortable and out of place. It's not the best vibe there and I will definitely never be attending there again. read more

Ill be back on Wednesdays !! ( & likely other days ) Ive been here a few times and today I came in with a friend for some Billiards and Brews. Bonus , they have a new bartender on Wednesdays and the service was impeccable . Her name is Jaimie and her nickname is squirrel , I guess she ran a squirrel rescue or something . She was on top of it as all the bartenders are that I have experienced here have been . This is a great neighborhood bar where you can feel comfortable and get a proper drink and cold beer at a fair price .... prices matter -sorry not sorry. They have a great selection of beers and drinks along with shots - And I love a Nice pour of Jameson with an ice cold beer - simple happiness . I am even more happy when the person serving it looks like squirrel , boys will be boys . Pool tables are only a buck , i'm cool with that. They are in good shape and the balls roll straight. Ill be back on Wednesdays for sure if Jaimie (squirrel lol ) is working . She is SPICY. ! read more

Been coming her for a year or more now. Really chill spot. 5 pool tables and the drinks are cheap! Every bartender is female and very nice. read more

Rack Um Up - Sports Bars Near Me - Tustin, California

Rack Um Up is truly one of the best pool lounges you can come to in Tustin. As a matter of fact, it's not even close when compared to it's local counterparts like God Father, Walnut Room, etc. For one, the maintenance put into this place is outstanding. Not only does the owner ensure that cleanliness is up to the highest standard - which was especially important during the pandemic - she also sees that all the pool equipment is upgraded when necessary and up to date. Aside from that, all the staff is cheerful and treats you with respect as long as you're behaving. It's not uncommon that an individual comes along and has a bit too much to drink and begins to disrespect staff & other patrons, which results in the bartenders/bar backs having to take some sort of action to preserve the peace & safety of the establishment - which is probably the reason for a few unhappy reviews I see here . Shoutout to Diana, Sharea, Tati, Deanna, Jesse, Jimbo, Coral, and the rest for all their hard work and kindness. 10/10 would recommend this place, especially for those who love pool. read more

Such a great experience !Diana helped us and have to say , have not had such great customer service in a long time . Best bar in town hands down Thank you for the great service and awesome experience read more
