Classic dive bar. Working in town, staying at the Comfort Inn 100 yard away so it's a no brainer, plus I like dive bars! So far, two nights in a row. I'll be working here the next 5 weeks so I guess I'll be a regular. Megan has been the bartender both nights, cool lady! Casual layed back atmosphere, one of the longest bars I've ever seen outside of Vegas! The urinals are a site to see. Must have been put in shortly after the bar opened in 1892. Ok, so there's a star rating from 1-5. I realized that ratings really doesn't apply to places like this. Dive bar's need a separate dive bar rating. This one is a 4 (Dive bar) read more

See all

We stopped by to checkout the night life here....well its popping here. Great music. The only complaint is that they serve beer only. read more

Sequoia Club - Dive Bars Near Me - Hanford, California

This place is a simple no frills no thrill neighborhood bar. Loved it.

Too expensive,I bought two drinks and they charged me $54 ! Restrooms were nasty too.

Worst experience I ever had. Went there lastnight and the Bartender accused me of having a false ID even though I provided her with a Federal and state ID. She proceeded to claim that my face didn't look like the one on my ID because my ID had an old picture of myself when I was 18 Years Old. I'm currently 26. Also, I'm a local Army Recruiter in the Area my Military ID should've been enough but NO she proceeded to threaten to call the cops. Me and my Coworker told her to call them to sort the situation out. She kept asking for the address on my ID and said the date did not match on my state ID because it said it was issued the year 2021 because I had my state send me a new ID to replace the one I lost while here in California which gave it a new issue date. She then gave me back both my IDs and told me and my coworker that we were banned. I will be letting my commanders and supervisors know and they will be contacting the manager. This ladies attitude, the embarrassment, and humiliation I faced while there was uncalled for and degrading. I get she has a job to do but this is not how you conduct business. Also, she kept saying "You don't remember the address on your ID?". I told her I have moved to multiple places cause I'm in the Army I've had serval addresses I can't remember every single one. Not to mention I rarely pull out my state ID. She smiled and said "Your in the military? You know this is a felony right? for falsifying documents?". I said "Ma'am exactly why I'm telling you to call the cops because I'm in the Army why would I do something as stupid as that and risk my career." "I gave you two forms of ID if you want call the cops you'll only embarrass yourself when they PROPERLY Identify me". I have have been in the Army for 9 years and never had been treated like this. My best advice is learn how to properly identify people before you end up in a lawsuit for deformation of character, racial discrimination, and false reporting. She wouldn't listen to anything we were saying to her. All she would do is smile and shake her head in disbelief as if she absolutely knew she caught me committing a crime. We told her multiple times "call the police" but she banned instead. As a veteran this is how we're treated? This is how we're looked at? I have an old picture on an ID that has a new issue date and all of a sudden I'm a criminal. I was willing to let the cops come and gladly let the situation unfold and an apology be issued but instead I was banned. So therefore NO I would not recommend this place. My co worker was literally bragging about this place and said that they had issues with providing drinks to minors so they might be on edge but for me a person who literally showed MULTIPLE forms of ID treated like crap is atrocious. But the fact I showed two forms of ID again FEDERAL AND STATE, was willing to have the cops called on me a "Black Man" to prove that I am who I say I am, and still get denied is absolutely terrible . Maybe she has never seen a CAC Card (Military ID) before cause she shook her head and denied that too. I took my so called "Fake IDs" to another bar had no issues. This is just disgusting and the fact this situation even happened in front of other people laughing at the whole situation. She may have felt like she did her job but in all actuality she truly didn't. Therefore my Company Commander and Station Commander will be in contact.

Sequoia Club - The Racist Bartender I was talking about. - Dive Bars Near Me - Hanford, California

The Sequoia Club is owned by the same family which owns Huggys. Stopped in while running my errands for a quick toss back. As a bourbon drinker, this club has a decent selection. The general manager mentioned he had Elijah Craig 23-Year-Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Perfect, it has been on my buy list for a while. It was well worth the shot price. There is a bit of nostalgia to the place. To change anything would be a shame. read more

Sequoia Club - Bar side. Good selection - Dive Bars Near Me - Hanford, California

Drinks are on the hook! Thanks Courtney?... Cheaper drinks than the others, and the bartender can handle customers and talking to regulars and new customers and making them feel welcome no problem. Customer service 5 out of 5 read more

The moment I walked in I thought it was going to have a good time. But the thing was I had a horrible experience. The atmosphere was just terrible. The ceiling was caving in and the restrooms were just dirty. As for the service the bar tenders we just un happy and miserable. I was talked to as I was a Burton. I wouldn't recommend any this pain. The pool tables are too close to walls and poles so you can't play a real game. They need to remodel this bar and get new bar tenders who are happy and and happy to have u a great experience. I wish this place had better staff. read more

New to the area and was out for the first time. Stopped by one place and everyone decided they would like to do karaoke and walked to this bar. We walked in, there was banter offered to one of our party members and the banter was returned. There was question asked about being military or being a military dependent here and that was offensive enough for our group of 12 being dismissed from the bar because the bar tender "didnt have time for that." There was a rational attempt to let it be known there was a misunderstanding on the table but it was met with an irrational dismissal. There was no "time for that" but it continued to be a topic of conversation by the bar tender after the fact. We were not a group of young adults. We didn't come in rambunctious and ignorant. First impressions are everlasting and this bar isn't one that I would attempt to return to because the interaction was not a vibe. It didn't match the energy we respectfully offered the establishments we ventured into this evening. read more

Okay. Come on, it's a dive bar in a dive town. I moved to Hanford because my office is close. There are not many good bars, but since my wife is divorcing me, I'm looking for a place to hang out. One of the bartenders (Melanie) is awesome. The others are at least decent. There aren't a lot of choices, so keep expectations in check. You ain't going to get LA 5 star in a farming/railroad town. read more

STEER CLEAR OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT I walked in there and the Bartender was rude. He was drunk...wreaking of alcohol. Also, There were two sloppy drunk old men at the Bar cussing and acting rude appeared to be friends of the evil Bartender. THIS is a horrible place. To my dismay, the drunks wanted to pick a fight with me for no apparent reason. The owner needs to train his Bartender to be friendly and professional. This place is not friendly. STEER CLEAR OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT read more

Worst experience. After the bartender was rude we left went to Lacy bar and the bartender at sequoia called and told them their was underage girls that were trying to drink. Never again read more

The bartender gave my card to the wrong person then charged me their tab. It's been over a week since the incident and they still have yet to find my card or reimburse me for charging me the wrong tab. read more

I really didn't want to be a fan of Downtown Hanford but it has it's little vibe going on. I like the Sequoia Club for it's aura it gives to such a small town. I think it's a great place to have a drink and meet people. The bartenders are friendly and the day I was there Karaoke was going on and it was a blast. Try. read more

The service here was terrible. We ordered 4 tequila shots and they were brought to us with no salt or lime. The waitress seemed very irritable when we asked for salt and lime and then my friend decided to order a beer and when the waitress brought it to her she said that we should make up our minds and tell her everything that we wanted at once so she didn't have to walk back and forth. Very rude. read more

The atmosphere is good, bartender is good and a great singer but the karaoke DJ was a jerk. He insisted on singing himself instead of letting patrons put songs in and sing. We were told that there was a 2 1/2 hour wait to sing and the place wasn't even that crowded. The DJ could have taken himself out of the lineup to make more openings, and it was the same people singing over and over. read more

Beer was cold at least but bartender did not give me the time of day......ok it's a half hour later and bartender is in a fight with her boyfriend, really! Down grade to one star! read more
