    I like this place. I have never experienced any drama or fights . Very chill place unless there is a popular artist performing.

    They offer the beer I love at a price I like. Great to have a new venue for live music.

Show up a few times and be a decent human and you will find a wide network of new friends. They welcome new regulars and there are a lot of us. Come hang out! (Edited to add... I did not realize that I would be REPLACING my previous review. TL;DR, I miss seeing Sandie and Tanisha here, but the bartenders are awesome people and you should just start coming here because it's a fantastic local watering hole. And also they do a bunch of sports games on the TVs, in case you care about such things, including Arsenal games)

    I had a terrible experience watching an Arsenal match there…read more This is supposed to be an Arsenal supporters club, yet they allow fans of rival teams like Manchester United and Manchester City to come in during Arsenal games. Not only that, they were openly laughing, mocking, and disrespecting Arsenal fans when we conceded goals. That's completely unacceptable for a supporters club. I've been to Sacramento Gooners and other Arsenal clubs, and none of them tolerate this kind of behavior. There's a clear difference in standards. I've followed the Silicon Valley Gooners owner and I know they claim to love Arsenal and football. But honestly, this feels more like a business focused on profit than a community built on passion. Very disappointing.

    Awe yes, this place was the beginning of a wild night and a VERY rough Friday, ha! Here we go…read more We had started the night off at a different dive bar. Can't remember the name and it's not just because I was wasted, but that definitely ain't helping the situation! Anyway, got a pitcher there, chilled, moved on to good ol' Hyde Park Lounge. Grabbed another pitcher, Elysian Spacedust (not coke) probably. We're in the back on the patio, just me'n'mah boi hanging out. Funny enough, we saw several people this bar who migrated from the same bar that we just came from. One of the gentleman and my friend hit it off, and as we're hanging out in the back, I see the bar lady bringing a pitcher out toward us. No one's out there, just us, and I freaking IMMEDIATELY knew that dude was gonna be the death of us. So now we're 3 pitchers of Spacedust in and things are getting fuzzy. Then the shots start rolling in. Oh Jame-O, you dirty dingo. Well, that's pretty much when things started getting real blurry and funny stories were to be told come the morning, along with the pounding headache. Lovely. Anyway, it's a dive bar, bruh, if you have high expectations, maybe you oughtta stick to your bougie places cuz this ain't one of 'em! Awesome people, though, if you have an open mind. So let's get it, baby! Next round's on me ^_____^
