Great crowd.. Kinda reminds me of The Early Dawn that used to be in Modesto. The bands were cool.. and the semi-professional dancers were fun to watch for a bit, but when I wanted to dance I had to stay behind the black line? Phhh.. what? That kinda made me feel like we were only there to watch.. which made it feel like a "man's place" watching the dancers in their short shorts. Good thing I was there with a girlfriend and not a date. Anyway.. I've only been that one time.. maybe I'll go back some day. read more

I just recently stopped by after being away for a couple of years and wow; this place is amazing now! The vibe is very chill, the drinks are excellent and fairly priced, and the service is phenomenal. Gabby is an outstanding bartender and provides a very welcoming atmosphere. I have worked in customer service for 11 years and having someone like Gabby on your crew is an absolute benefit to have; she is amazing at what she does. I will definitely have to recommend to friends and I absolutely plan on returning in the future. Once again, thanks Gabby for providing an excellent experience! read more

I dig this place! They're starting to book bands there, like live bands. None of that cover band crap you'd find everywhere else in town. This is a real neighborhood bar. I don't know what kind of experience the other reviewer had, but I have had nothing but a fun time there. Not real crowded, but hopefully the bands will start bringing in more ppl. Totally low key, couple of pool tables, the bartenders are very nice. The Refuzniks (new band in the area, cowpunk/rockabilly/alt country) play there every 2nd and 4th Saturdays starting around 9-9:30pm. Fun band, fun bunch of guys. Very worth checking out. The drinks are cheap, not a huge selection on tap, but what you'd expect. Cash only bar, but ATM inside. read more

Lots of people, great crowd, great bands perform here, great place to watch the game, you get free hot dogs and nachos when the game is on. Drinks are great priced an they have limaritas an strawberritas. One time a guy got punched for motorboating the bartender. Lots of wild times here. This is a pretty big clamper bar. An if your having issues alcoholics anonymous is right next door read more

There has been new owner and management. We have pool tournaments. DJ's and bands. It's always fun.

Very fun bar to hang out at on the weekend. Live bands every Friday and Saturday night and never a cover charge. Always has something fun going on the week nights like Texas hold-em poker, bottoms up tavern trivia, or karakoe. Prices are cheap and the bartenders are super awesome. Great place to meet new friends at. read more

The Other Place - Bottoms up Trivia at The Other Placr - Dive Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

This place used to be an ok bar. At one time it was fun. Last night I went there to meet up with some friends to watch football. When I went up to order drinks the girl next to me said you know the bartender just called you white trash. When I asked her she admitted it. For no reason. I'm the nicest person you will ever meet. I wont be going back. Time for them to hire a new bartender. I won't be missing Modesto when I leave that's for sure. read more

Also Monday night football is one Hekla of a night here fun ppl so get down there and show the local byssiness some love

Went there for the very first time last night. Initially we really liked the place, cool vibe, a fair tap selection, and the bonus is pool! We were only there the last hour or so. At 1:45 the bartender did last call as usual. This lady then starts asking if someone wanted a free extra corona and the bartender became totally outa line. The nice girl gives it back to the bartender who starts telling everyone it's "2:10 & she's waaaay past time ect" the real time was 1:54. We said what it's 1:54, again as were leaving. She starts talking about bartime ect and SHOVES him out of the door. She started cussing and shoving repeatedly. Even the bouncer came to check that we were ok and even other patrons! Because of her soley I'd never go back. read more

This place is awesome! Lives bands, cheap drinks, and a fun crowd! This isn't your normal pretentious bar. This is what I consider a working mans watering hole, and it's a great place to go. You wanna catch the came - they probably have it on! read more

a lot of room, great bar tenders...glad the owner is booking bands...1 country was the BEST i've heard locally ever but the public clientele wasn't prepared for them...the other hevy metal great vocals etc but they play for themselves they love their own music very few songs were danceable or sing a long need to get there on time and look for what moves their audience or keep playing in their garages! At least the great country band was on time, leader didn't walk off stage at all and the country band took requests...too bad ive tried the other place more than a few times it's been a miss for a great night out becaue the heavy metal band seems to be playing there often the groups I've seen go in patiently waiting for band to get better but dissapoibts everytime no matter how tipsy you are! read more

One of my favorites mostly great bartenders good pool tables large dance floor good company and good priced drinks

Total dive bar. Hmmm i wonder if the name sloppily written on the outside wall gave it away?! Anyways if you go during the week the bartender is cool and she'll party with you! (extra points!) otherwise it gets ghetto on the weekends and youll probably get into a knife fight or offered to buy some drugs. Have fun! read more

I have been going to this bar a couple of years now, and I do have to say it is the BEST in the 209, great prices, great people, and awesome bartenders, have to say that that I have met lots of new friends here, and some of them I'm lucky to call family, so if you haven't come in for ice cold beer yet, all I have to say is what the heck are you waiting for, you won't be disappointed!! read more
