Rum and soda water with a lime.

I'm a day drinker. There I said it. I go to bed at 8 or 9, even on the weekends, so I prefer to day drink. I love a good dive bar. This is a great place to day drink. My husband and I stopped in while we were in town for vacation. We had a few rounds of drinks. A local even bought us a round. I played all my fave songs on the juke box, and it was a jolly good time. This place has great dive bar prices, and we even had a few kamikaze shots as if we were still in our 20s haha.

This bar is a great dive. Their drink prices are the best in town and they even have a pool table. In regards to the food it is only available during peak hours, but it's also really reasonably priced. The only, and I mean only downside, is the fact that if no one has paid for music then the bar goes from loud and poppin' to dead and dumbed down in a matter of seconds. It can really kill a good vibe but other than that this bar doesn't disappoint.

Great place to feel at home Cold beer, great bar tenders, and near downtown. Come play some pool, order some tasty food, and enjoy throughout the day.

Bloody Mary

Sooo I came back finally during the day and the scene was entirely different. Very quiet, the patrons were nice, and the bar was clean. I ordered the bloody Mary, and it was delicious. The only problem I have is that they only except cash, but atleast they have an atm just in case. The outside of the bar is very clean, and the parking is good too. The cook is awesome and im not trying to be bias because I do know her, but I know she cooks very good on a personal level:)I'm definitely coming back to have another day time drink!

My fav bar in Visalia. Good happy hour and like the whole set up. Plus, they have decent music in the jukebox, some alternative(which I like) Not all country

Full bar and beer. Dive in and enjoy.

Didn't kick out the girl that put hands on me but kicked me out and never refunded me for the drink…read moreI payed for that I didn't get to drink.

A dive bar if I've ever seen one. A small hole in the wall place that you can easily pass by if…read moreyou don't know what your looking for. It's a small brown building with a small parking lot next to it. It's nice though that its open at 0630 so that the nightshift hospital staff can come here and decompress or send me off on my last day. First thing you notice about this place is the smell of urine from the bathrooms. You get use to it after a bit. As well as the "regulars" hanging out at the bar area. It's extremely small. Area for a pool table, some tables at the far end by the bathrooms, and a long bar counter. At least the tvs are nice and clear and big to watch games or sports as need be. There was a good 18 of us here. Prices are rediculously cheap. I'm glad they understand it's a dive bar and should thus be dive bar prices. A michelada was $4. A mimosa was $5. Bag of chips was $1. They have these sour candy shots for $4. The sour candy shots were really good. Michelada was simple. Bloody Mary mix with beer. But they were well made. I also had a crown royal apple with redbull that was really good. I don't remember how many drinks we went thru but it did the job and we were all feeling good. Customer service is good. Dude working behind the bar worked fast. I hear this place is pretty good when the sun is up, but has a pretty rough reputation at night with lots of shady people coming in at night. I definitely wouldn't come in here by my self even in the day time. But with a large group it's pretty cool. Nice and cheap. If you don't mind the urine smell and dilapidated look.

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!

Looking really dicey from the outside, one is pleasant surprised by the interior and added on…read moreoutside, but mostly hidden dance and music arena. 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.

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?

The bartender Asked for my ID, fine. No problem. Asked if they made their own beer. They do not. So…read morenot a brewery. She walked away after checking it and then asked for it a second time. Told my friend a beer was a seltzer. Turns out it's a beer. Wow.

I'm dying laughing at the fact that the receptionist at my hotel specifically told me not to go to…read morethis dive bar because I wouldn't feel safe.. but I ended up meeting some really cool people here. It's definitely a dive bar and looks like one, but it has so much character.. both the place itself and the people. A good time if you're looking to socialize or just get a cheap drink. 10/10

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!
