The Pump Room is a fun place to hang out and have a few drinks! I come here often to meet up friends, play some pool, have some drinks, and just have a good time. The staff is always friendly and service is usually pretty quick. Decent amount of space to sit or move around, not overly loud unless it's packed. They have a modern digital jukebox so you can play pretty much anything you want. Full bar with all the options you could want. Only marking it down one star because the floors are a but sticky and the men's restroom is tiny! Not as bad as Ohara's but pretty close (IYKYK) read more

Follow up to my previous review. I took a break for a month or two. That barback is still an asshole. I didn't purposely go in his shift but I also came in with a mask on just so he wouldn't whine about it. I also sat away from the well. He still whined. Don't go here. Do go here to see the wonderful bartenders. Mine got a $200 cash tip for one round. Not for him at all. And I heard them talking shit after I left. It's not the bartenders fault ass. Fire this guy already. Covid ended 5 years ago bro. If you're scared of a smokers cough you shouldn't be in the service industry. You're the only person that has ever mentioned it to me. read more

You know I miss this place with a little more of th divey feel. Now it feels between two worlds. The pool tables are the same from decades past. Little update to the bar. Probably lost to Covid was the popcorn machine in the corner, the giant sack of pretzels. There was some money spent on the bar to give it a little more modern feel. There used to be a tamale guy that would come through and had memories of a dude that would sit at the bar with a machete. Staff was friendly and still appreciate the chill vibe inside. read more

The Pump Room - Inside the bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Orange, California

I always knew what type of bar this was, but never cared to check it out despite passing by it all the time. Finally got around to checking it out recently and will definitely keep this place in rotation now! It's a little on the smaller side, but it certainly has that neighborhood bar vibe. It's divey but nothing wrong with that since I personally enjoy dive bars... Usually anyway. The reason why I'm a fan now is because the drinks are fairly priced! I ordered a couple of Tito's and soda water for me and the homie and when I got the tab I was shocked in a good way. Another big plus is their jukebox and its catalog of music. I listen to "electronic dance music" almost exclusively. I'm using that term as a catch-all for all the EDM subgenres even though I absolutely loathe that term. *Hops off of my high horse* Anyway, I plugged in a few of the bigger artists I assumed would be on there and surprise surprise, they had some decent artists/tracks to choose from! Touch Tunes seems to be the main jukebox at most bars, but Ami has a much better selection of music to choose from, at least for someone like me who doesn't listen to mainstream. Couple downsides. Not that I'm any good at pool (I'm downright awful), but it gets a little awkward when you need to hit the ball where people are sitting. Also with dive bar territory comes dive bar restrooms... Absolutely vile. Someone threw up in the sink when I was there last time and the whole restroom stunk of vomit. Come on bro. You really couldn't make it to the toilet which was like, what, 1 foot away from the sink? Some rookie type shit. I will definitely be back at some point, just trying to chill on the drinking for a little while! read more

I went to the Pump Room today and wasn't impressed! It was hot and they are running the AC with the door open. Service was good as usual, but the bartender seemed aloof to my presence. I went to the bathroom and not only does the door not lock but there is no way to dry your hands after washing them. Like washing your hands after bathroom use is discouraged. read more

I love the pump room , this place has been here for a long time and for good reason , it's a nice place to get a drink and enjoy yourself with fellow citizens. I've been in here may times and have had a great time here drinking some cold beers and enjoying the people and the service which is always fast and friendly. read more

Such a cool dive bar everyone is so cool and bartenders are not only fabulous they are super friendly. We came in a few times to play pool and it was always a great time! read more

I am a regular at this bar and have always felt that the staff has gone beyond their abilities. Maddie has proven me wrong. She was rude and aggressive. I would never come as a patron regardless of the bartender... read more

Fair selection of beers and decent whiskeys ...staff is friendly, not stuck up, they talk to everybody, even the creepy Granpas that make the ambiance uncool. One creeper kept harassing one and then crying about his dead wife, then right back to making disgusting comments. (Yes, I realize this is a bikini/lingerie bar)...I'm surprised he wasn't kicked out for ruining the experience for the rest. Bartender kept her composure, kudos to her. read more

Jenny and Dara were great bartenders! Super sexy, fun and professional. Their drinks were delicious. I played pool and had fun. Great dive bar! read more

I love the bar especially how all the the beautiful women give me the good vibes all the time

Great service and beautiful bartenders! They are very easy on the eyes with super personalities! read more

Cold Beer, Beautiful woman and fun atmosphere. Reasonable prices and like 20 tvs. All are a plus after a hard day at work.

I love dropping in when in the area. Chill vibe. Great servers and people to talk to. Good priced drinks. Hit it most nights I'm here

Priscilla was so professional she made sure my co workers and I had the right drinks and was very friendly! This bar is amazing and supper cool place to visit after work!!!!!! read more

++ You can just tell this place is absolutely well managed. + The beer are iced cold and there's a large selection of liquor and seltzer. Big shout out that they do carry Miller High Life, that I usually got Michelada with and it just tastes delicious. + There is no food just chips; yet you can order some light food to eat here and there's sometimes a taco stand at night. + The bartenders are all babe and friendly. Follow their instagram to know which girl is working that day. Tips: sit at the bar where you can see the lower mirror and thank me later! + Close to the freeway so I usually stop by here to avoid traffic hours. + Great atmosphere to you can watch football, play pool or just have couple beers and bomb the Jukebox with your music(nobody know). ** And girls need drinks too! Guys are focused on the bikini bartenders so girls won't feel creeped out here. -- There used to be a super hot manager working on Thursday morning shift that I had to visit from time to time. Try to get his number but he was just iced cold like the beer he served. His smile was warm though. Sadly he's not there anymore. read more

Wow if I could give these girls a 10/10 star I would Aaliyah and Elyse are amazing and so beautiful and their salesmen ship is impressive

Never disappointed always a fun time with cold drinks and hot viewing of sporting events

I haven't been here in a while. Place looks great, always a fun time. Stiff drinks at a good price. My go to place before and after an angel game. read more

Good bar to relax for a few hours and watch some sports games. The bartenderettes here are pretty and cool vibes.

OVERCHARGED! They lied saying we didn't tip enough and to "never come back!" ENTITLED to say 30% tip is not enough! Maybe the tip wasn't enough because they purposely overcharged. I know how much we drank. This isn't Vegas!!! Exorbitant prices for such a dump! We also heard them chasing other guys into the parking lot too. Skip this place! read more

Was here tonight for the first time Michelle and Allie were awesome , great service and great attitude, I will definitely be back

Very cool place to hang out. They are very nice. Good selection of booze and cocktails. Great bottle and can selection. 6$ angry orchard. read more

The pump room ROCKS! They have all the delicious beers that you want and the staff is top notch. Very friendly and just real, not like the other types of bars in their genre. read more

Drinks are good the bartenders are even better! Mandy was so hot/fun/sexy/cool. I will definitely be back for another Shirley temple.

I am originally from San Diego and recently moved to the Tustin area. In search of bars, I came across this gem one day while searching through yelp. I will admit that I was hesitant at first due to some of the reviews I read on here. However, I am glad that I gave this place a shot. Let me start off by saying that the lovely ladies bartending here have been amazing every time I come here. Respect them, and they will respect you. Don't be a creep. The beers here are ICE cold, just the way a beer should be at any good bar. They do play sports here on the TV and they also have music you can play through their touch tunes juke box. They do not serve food here but so sell small bags of kettle chips. However, they are open to letting you order food to be delivered there long as you clean up after yourself. Overall, I have fallen in love with this bar. I have and will always recommend this bar to anyone who is looking for a bar they can relax at. read more

Was looking up pool and billiards in Orange area and this place came up so I said let's try it. Worst mistake. The girls last night 3/29/24 was the worst bartenders to ever step behind the bar. Instead of seeing if we wanted drinks they was to worried about whatever social media they was on. I had to ask her three times for a shot and I finally got it (smh). They kept hugging and talking to people they knew. At least they had the Dodger game on, but overall I'm not going back! read more

I can't thank Joe at The Pump Room enough for going above and beyond to help me when I thought I lost my wedding ring. I was sure I took it off while shooting pool, but he took the time to sit down with me and go through multiple camera angles. Together, we confirmed that I had the ring on the entire time and left the bar with it. This level of care and effort was so reassuring and ultimately helped me narrow down where I last had it, leading to me finding it. Incredible customer service and kindness--I'll definitely be back. Thank you again! read more

For the record, I would like to declare that it was not my decision to come here. My group and I were nearby at the Block for Happy Hour. A part of the group wanted to play Pool, a part of the group wanted to drink more and even if they did not admit it, a part of the group wanted eye candy. I was in it for the cheap 50cent pool and the booze. The Pump Room has a decent bar, a few TV screens, 3 pool tables (50 cents/game) and FRESH POPCORN!! The complimentary fresh popcorn was probably the most exciting thing for me here. I had my own popcorn basket. The workers were so incredibly nice so my popcorn was getting refilled with fresh buttery delicious popcorn all night long. This is pretty smart since the buttery salted popcorn makes you thirsty and then you want to drink more. The drinks are not too impressive. Our Adios ($11/each) were on the weak side. The pool tables are pretty old, but what do you expect for 50cent pool. I think it is good enough for those of us who are not professionals. My group seemed to have a good time. This is definitely not somewhere I would come alone or anything, but I felt pretty safe with 6 guys to guard me. I came for the cheap 50cent pool and the booze, but I would come back for that incredibly buttery fresh popcorn. Mhmmmm... popcornnnnn... **insert emoji with heart eyes here** read more

The Pump Room - 50 cent for pool - Dive Bars Near Me - Orange, California

The food and drinks are pretty good. The service is good. The vibes are cool. Overall, I like it here.

Great hole in the wall bar. Stiff drinks and if you take care of the bartenders, they'll take care of you. Been here since a few years back. Jayme is awesome! So is Melanie, Chandra, Sona. Great job ladies! Oh, free popcorn! And you can also bring your own food (clean after yourself). They have 3 bar size pool tables. Touchstones jukebox, a bunch of TVs. Full liquor license. Mostly chill people so if you're looking for your frat bar, nope, this isn't it. Come with good vibes, stumble your way out with a smile. read more

Great place and nicely placed mirrors. Enjoy! The staff is friendly and the location is decent.

It's a basic sports bar. Mostly only men with the only eye candy being the bartenders. No food here, just drinks.

Wow! Enough said! This place is the epitome of a dive sports bar. It's dark, dank, and the bar staff is out of this world. It's a good thing I don't live nearby. This place makes paychecks disappear. read more

One of my favorite place to come for a drink. Angelica is awesome and is in top of her game. Normally come on Saturdays. She sees us and knows what we want. I really like all the variety of sports they have and everywhere there's a tv. Also I like how the female restroom is always clean. No to mention they have good popcorn. Please thank Angelica for being such a kick ass on Saturdays! She makes sure everyone is taken care of read more

Service sucks unless your a regular. Can't be regular if you ignore me or forget what drink order was.

Came here on fight night because it was the only night place I could find that was open and free entry , during covid. I live in LA and drove about 45 mins to get there. It was sooooooo crazy packed there wasn't even standing room and not a single person (except me) was wearing a mask. I wish there was a pandemic because it seemed like it would've been fun. I left as soon as I got there because of the crowd.... read more

Not sure what to rate as this is my first time here. However, as soon as I wakes in I was met with a weird smell. Best I can describe it would be wet dog, forgotten wet clothes, feet and rear end. Other than that the bartender was quick to serve a beer. The vibe seems chill. Kind of place to wind down after a work day. read more

The Pump Room - Tall 805 and bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Orange, California

Been wanting to visit this spot for years. Happy I finally made it, and am definitely planning on coming back. Came in on a Wednesday night, while it was not totally packed but still fairly busy. Carli was the only bartender working that night, and she made sure everyone in the whole bar was taken care of. All the patrons seemed like they were having a fun, chill time. As a Pump Room newbie, Carli made me feel welcome, not to mention mixed up a few great Tom Collins drinks! Next time I'd like to bring a friend and play some pool. Don't hesitate to give this place a try. I can see why it's an OC classic! read more
