Great dive bar, looks very "shady" from the outside but chill and friendly inside. (note I've only been 3x in the afternoon while killing time). Great friendly bartenders. Parking lot in back. Couple of pool tables, darts, e-jukebox, big screen TVs. I watched a bit of world cup here. They have an Angel City IPA I like. Pro tip, x- large size is a better deal. read more

Shady Brady's - Free Hotdogs for World Series Game 1 - Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

This is a great bar where everyone knows each other prices are reasonable use to live coming here but the bartender especially this guy by the name rojelio or something he thinks he owns the bar he is never working he's always drunk off his but giving attitude to the customers. I've seen him arguing with customers just horrible customer service. Then there's Maria either she likes you or she don't and will be so rude to you she's too old to be working there . Mark the bartender is great he's so nice makes great drinks . Yea they need to clean up and get rid of that bartender rojelio read more

If you want to shoot some pool, listen to music and have some tasty drinks stop by to hang out with good people. Their customer service is top notch all night long.... read more

Joe got my taxes done quick for a reasonable price. I had quite a lot of stock transactions and he gave me some tax advice for free as well. I would definitely use him again next year read more

I love a good dive bar but the bartenders condescending tone ruined the fun time we were having. She also felt her sloppy greasy lunch was more important than doing her literal job. This was a one and done. I'm also shocked our car wasn't broken into. read more

Brie makes great Raspberry Tarts. Came in on a Saturday afternoon. Place was empty and we had Brie, the jukebox and the bar to ourselves. Great local bar. Micheladas are spicy and delicious. read more

Shady Brady's - three drinks on a table - Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

It has gone down here! The guys here are so rude! They don't help in any way. If Maria isn't here then it sucks here tbh! These guys are just eating without washing their hands and just chilling without a care in the world. I use to come here to celebrate and now I sure don't want to come here again. read more

Shady Brady's is a good place to go and hang out. There's some booths to sit at and a few tables. There one pool table and one dart board. There's also a jukebox that has a lot of songs; someone played a Drake song when I was there. The people that go there seem to be around their mid thirties to mid forties and dress like punks. I went on a Saturday night and it seemed busy but not packed. There was about twenty five people there the day I went. It didn't take long for me to order a drink and they were fairly priced. It was $12 for a tap beer and a mixed drink. I was there for about an hour and a half. I had two mixed drinks and played darts. I enjoyed myself. read more

I live next door from the place... moved in 6 months ago... I was excited to find a new neighborhood dive bar that I can swing by and relax while watching the game... but then my neighbor told me this place was racist and I read a Yelp review that stated it was too... so I avoided this place. I finally went last night. The friendliest bar tenders served me, the bar was full of whites, Mexicans and a few Asian folk singing and dancing in harmony to songs like Lauryn hill and some dr dre classics. The bar tender mark turned on the dodger game for me on the big screen and I actually managed to make a few friends that night. Cheers to this non racist bar that I'm going to come back to regularly. read more

I can't believe I don't have a review for this place yet, Maria is phenomenal. Such a gem. Shes the best at her trade. Comadres hot dogs sell food here and it's mouth watering! We love robin! Thanks for a great time guys! Xoxo read more

Place is the best. Very good environment. Staff is very friendly Had a great time with my friends

I came to this bar back when I was 21. I Used to come here and get cheap beer with my friend Henry. Twenty years later I'm here tonight...memories! read more

We used to stop by a ton after work. Maria and Leslie are such sweethearts. Maria makes the best Micheladas in town, so don't miss out on that. There are darts, jukebox, and a pool table. It's a chill spot, however you do walk out smelling like you've been chain-smoking all day. Parking lot in the back. read more

Shady Brady's - Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

I went last night to what I heard was a fun bar. The bar tender Maria took my order and had me waiting for almost an hour not to mention she walked away during my sentence. I had to ask the other bar tender to please make my drinks. This happened TWICE. And the third time I simply asked for water and she walked away from and I never received my water. I have never had such horrible service at a bar. read more

LOVE the cheap drinks, hated the crowd. Lots of weird, sketchy people but can't really expect much from a dive bar on the border of Arcadia/Irwindale. But can't really beat a Hennessy/coke for $7.50 and $3 beers so be back since it's so close to our office! read more

If I can give this place a 10/10 I definitely would ! Maria , Richard, Mark and Alex are the best ! They always have exceptional service ! They allowed me to have a pride party two years in a row and also host my birthday party ! If you love cheap drinks and great vibes , shadys is where it's at ! Shaadys! read more

Great dive bar, friendly staff, good prices, and amazing atmosphere! This is the place to hang and enjoy!

Fun little neighborhood bar , good drinks at a good price, pool table, darts lots of TV's to keep you in the loop on your favorite sports and Keno as well read more

The bartenders are awesome. Nice place to relax and have a drink. Fridays gets a little crowded.

I can't stand this place. Maria is the worst bartender I have ever come across in my life. Slow, inconsistent, rude, and no perception of time what so ever. If I could rate this place less than zero, I would.. read more

Let me tell you something about this place, it's been years of on and off of going, and all I can say is that it's still one of my favorite dive bars yeah it might not be the most upscale bar, but the pricing and the bartenders their never disappoint me. ESPECIALLY MARK! He's literally one of the main reasons why I go more than usual now even if it's just to play pool with my friends and family, or to simply watch a game. His vibe is just amazing! Thank you dude! And Maria I love your self too lady. Never does me wrong with my drinks and MICHELADAS are delicious! read more

I Don't know, i kinda liked this shitbox. Cheap beer! My girl and i drove by one night and i had mentioned that we should check it out. Last night after going to the gym we headed over. I threw on some jeans and a hoodie, put one of my knives in my back pocket and even put one in my girls back pocket. We drove down, parked the car in an accessable spot, and walked in. Before walking in i had the feeling that a firearm might have been a better choice, but we played it cool. Now if you look at my or my girls profile and our pics, we're not what you'ed call Dive bar divers, but we're not snobby and we'll get our hands dirty now and again. Went up to the bar and asked this lady for 2 beers, one draft Blue Moon and she had oranges, 22oz for $4.50, and a bottle of Newcastle for $3.50. Not bad! After being harrassed (guy wanted to talk to us) by a bum, actually more of a drunk, we went over to the pool table for a game. The crowd was "Diverse" in the lower genepool, but you know what? That's what we were expecting. Met a few locals and played 4 of 5 games. $0.75 a game. Decent table with good rails, half the cues were straight too. Overall, this is a Dive bar, and you see what you expect from a dive bar, but generally, decent spot. I will defenately be buying cheap beer here! Good shits! read more

I have to rewrite this post because since Brady's has gone no smoking and Anthony or Maria are in the bar daily everything has been awesome. Props! If you don't like smelling like smoke and you don't want to go to the most accurate thing that defines a dive bar then this wouldn't be the place for you. However if you don't give an F, and want the cheapest drinks in town then here's your place. read more

I like little dive bars. This place was great, full bar, pool tables, darts, juke box. The only negative thing is they smoke inside and I personally don't like that because I'm asthmatic, and two no one likes smoke to linger on their clothes. Maria the bartender was really nice and she made a truly delicious Michelada drink. They have a good selections of items too. There's no food, just chips and nuts. I will def go back. read more

Used to come here years ago for the Michellada, so while in the neighborhood I decided to stop. Oh my Maria! How I have missed you, they just keep getting better and better...The Best Michies in town ! read more

Shady Brady's - Michellada (model beer) - Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

I came today with my cousin that came from Mexico and the manager was rude and racist. She said she couldn't be here because she didn't have a California ID. She showed her Mexican ID but the manager said she couldn't be there at all. This is how we treat tourist. SMH. read more

I used to go to Shady's all the time, it was right down the street so we could walk down and stumble home. This is a dirty dive but had great bartenders. There's 1 pool table, a dart board and juke box with mostly awful music. The crowd is older and sleazier, every once & a while some young people would come in. The drinks are cheap, strong and there's usually no wait for pool, it's a good place to unwind. The last time I was in there all the old staff was gone and a bunch of new assholes were working there, it was more expensive with he same shitty atmosphere. Won't be back! read more

Shoot pool here a couple of weeks ago. It was hot, stuffy and just plain nasty. They have no AC and the 6 fans in the place didn't do a damn thing. I was sweating in my seat having a beer. Don't buy draft. My Heff. tasted funny. Maybe it was a bad keg, maybe it was a dirty glass or maybe I should only order bottled drinks at a Shady dive bar. I haven't made up my mind about this spot. I'll have to come back for seconds... read more

Maybe I showed up on a bad day. Today the place was fun customer & bartender interaction made my experience. I'll be back because of the great Mark the bartender read more

Great place to hang out and have a beer or three. Bartenders are great and very attentive. Keep up the good work!!. read more

If you're considering checking this dive bar out, just know that smoking is allowed within so your clothes will reak of cig stench once you leave. Other than that, what you see is what you get!! The drinks are cheap!! They have a digital jukebox with a wide range of musical selection, and both a darts board&pool table. The place is a dump. The men's restroom was cramped as shit but it definitely contributes to the "local" atmosphere lol!! Worth checking out if your not picky, and enjoy kicking around a few cheap beers with the homies. We paid $7.50 per pitcher, and 5 pitchers in we left the place quite satisfied. Stay classy my friends. read more

I've been going to The Bit for a while, however Shadys has alcohol which is better. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Mark, Maria & Adam are awesome and treat customers like family!! My mom used to go back in her time, my sister went when she was my age & now I'm going to carry on the tradition. I love that everyone gets along and there's NO PROBLEMS!!. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. Plus very cheap prices which is good. I'll definitely be a regular now. Plus they all remember my drinks and grab my shots before I even sit down. If you want some drinks and play some pool and darts this is the place to be. If I could give it 6 stars I would. read more

Dive bar? Yes. So you shouldn't expect too much. The place can be hard to locate since it's actually located behind the building. In the front, you'll find a meeting place for Alcohol Anonymous (Spanish). The place smelled like urine right when you walk in, kinda nasty, and we were here on St. Patty's day and you could smell someone lighting up. read more
