    Neil making a great Old Fashioned!
    Garrett P.

    Such a great experience ALWAYS. Neil and Occean are awesome and I will be returning! Highly recommend The Joint!!!

    WHAT A GREAT PLACE! Had the opportunity to stop in to this great place over the weekend. The people were so very welcoming and nice. Holly was so personable. She had a lot of information about the history of the bar and the town. The bar atmosphere was perfect dive bar but clean and safe. Many locals just hanging out. They all yelled hi when we walked in and talked to us. There were several off road vehicles and riders there having a great time. Everyone was so friendly. They had Champagne!! Which was a plus for me. I wanted to purchase a tank top and Holly opened up here store next door so I could look and pick one. Can't wait to go back for the chili cook off on Halloween. It's a bit out of the way and you really have to want to go there as there isn't any advertising or signage. SO WORTH THE TRIP. This bar and people made our whole weekend. THANK YOU!

    DOPE spot to grab a beer or two! Family owned and operated , "joint". Stopped here Friday evening to grab a beer before heading out to Cottonwood campgrounds. Everyone was super friendly and cheerful. We were given a little history of the joint...the owners grandmother did not drink, had a very heavy hand, and kicked people out if they cursed! That's my type of lady...If you're ever in the area, stop by and grab a cold one, relax and shoot the shit

    Bar with two pool tables

    Stopped in on a freezing Saturday night to this cool find. Fire place was burning and the counter wasn't too busy. We were able to talk to Neil and grab a couple drinks, I ordered a Tito's and cran, $5, so cheap and let me tell you Neil added a good splash and a half of Titos for me. There are two pool tables that cost 25 cents a game in the back by the bathrooms (which were kept up nicely). I also appreciated the little heaters by the pool tables to keep me warm. Lots of animal heads on the wall and old pictures made it have a homey vibe. I was digging the playlist, you will too if you love country music and a little T Swift mixed in. Definitely stop in if you're in town for a drink or two and support this local family business!

    Cool bar with a chill oldschool vibe, pool tables etc. Place is in the middle of nowhere, but has good bar feel like the old days. Drinks priced right with good pours. Employees are cool and chill and the place is large enough with pool table and all. If I was in the area I would cruise by and enjoy some drinks.

    Awesome!

    I was on an adventure out to a hundred or so year old "mostly" ghost town. Let me tell you "mostly" is wholly true. There's not much there. But there's this place. And this place is pretty dang great. The girl behind the counter was attentive, quick and pretty darn cute. It seemed like a fun place to enjoy a cold beer or two. I sat down in the chair, and looked around. Dollars covered the walls in one section of the place, flags were hanging from the ceiling, while assorted animal heads were mounted around the walls and over the old stone fireplace. The girl behind the counter was quick and attentive. She greeted me when I walked in, and had a cold beer a few moments later. The place had a handful of people in it, by no means packed. As I do, I asked her what there was to do around the area. Girl told me about the plethora of local antique stores, the general store next door, and that there was a ton of off road stuff to do around the area. When I inquired about food and she said they had burritos that were hand made by a local lady and then frozen. Or, alternatively I could get something from the General store and bring it back. So there's food here...kinda. As I drank my cold and delicious beverages, she told me a bit of the history of the place. Bartender girl told me that The bar had been here since forever. She also told me that her own grandmother was the bartender of this place until she was 100 years old. Huell Howser even interviewed her about it! Apparently the place has some pop history as well. She also let me know that the music video for Kenny Loggins "Meet me half way" was filmed inside this bar. After finding it online turns out I sat in the same seat Kenny Loggins did! Woot! She also told me Chopper Chicks in Zombietown was also filmed right outside. So. This place has some definite cinematic history to it. I'm so glad I came out this way. This lil bar is really great! I'll definitely be back some day!

    Always an outstanding experience at "The Joint." Killer Bloody Mary drinks and friendly atmosphere. Bought myself one of their sweatshirts. Neil and Holly sell these awesome (female) sweatshirts that fit like a glove. I suggest you get yours before they run out. By far my most favorite sweatshirt ever. I highly recommend.

    The Joint is one of my favorite places on Earth to grab a refreshing drink and relax with the locals and OHV enthusiasts who come to the beautiful Mojave desert. Been coming here since I started dirt biking in 2015. Great owners, great staff, great clientele, great drinks. Nestled in a sweet little antique mining town that takes you back 100 years. Don't miss this stop to relax and meet new friends.

    Terrible service. Slow day and the bartender was discriminatory with her service. Zero stars if I could.
