It's a dive bar with craft beer. Nuf said. Service was fantastic, luckily we were the only 2 here at first and even though it became occupied with other people, it was still very manageable and a chill vibe. Over 16 beers to choose from so no complaints here. It has been a place to come and drink for the past 6-7 years and finally writing a review about this spot. With both domestic and craft options, you can't go wrong. It Is a Covina staple. read more

This is an awesome Craftbeer dive bar. Really cool ambience, they have a couple of dartboards a foosball table and I believe street fighter arcade in the back. The people here are usually pretty laid-back, I've never had a problem here. The beers are reasonably priced and they have a wide selection. The bartender is always friendly and I can't wait to go back. read more

The Republic - Bar - Beer Bar Near Me - Covina, California

This bar is perfect for what it is. It's clean, there's plenty of tables, lots of space at the bar, big TV's, and a great selection of beers and few ciders. They don't serve food but you can bring your own. They ONLY have beer and wine. They have foosball, automated dart games, and a Bluetooth juke box. The bartenders are all chill and make great micheladas. Anytime I'm in the area and I'm not ready to go home, I pop in for a drink and a round of darts. read more

Awesome loved it ! Will definitely be back ! Will definitely be back, keep up the great service. Your bar is so nice!

We came here since we had a couple hours to pass before a birthday dinner. Not many customers on a weekday and everything is kind of old here. The service was friendly. I wish they had pool. Maybe it would have been more fun had there been more customers? read more

Exquisite brewskies, darts and foosball are extremely entertaining, impeccable service!! read more

I took my niece here (who just turned 21(!)) and we had a flight each. We came on a Tuesday night at around 2200. Place had about 6-8 people in it and it's pretty cool. Not too dimly lit, and there's music but it's not too loud that you can't have an intimate conversation. I imagine during the weekend this place is probably pretty busy. It's honestly not too dive-y (bar) at all. The floor was swept pretty clean and there looked to me that there were some regulars but no bar flies. Overall it was pretty cool. Craft beer selection is pretty diverse to include something I've never had before-an alcoholic sparkling water. It was interesting... Didn't have any food. read more

If "dive bars" are you sorta thing, this place is one of the best I've ever been to. They've got a great selection of craft brews on tap, and some hard to find stuff as well (Goose Island Bourbon County anyone?). The BEST part is, they've got really cheap prices on Macro-brews as well (I started my night off with two, 22 ounce Rolling Rocks for less than $10!). The music isn't so loud that you can't hear your buddy sitting next to you, but loud enough so you two aren't playing the "Hey, what song is playing" game all night long. If you don't wanna chat with your crew, no worries, they've got electric dart boards in one area, where you can test your skills against others. Service was top notch. I mean, the place wasn't PACKED, but there were plenty of patrons when I stopped in. The server, all by herself, held it down, making sure everyone had drinks (and refills). If you're looking for this place, it's behind the car dealerships off Citrus (a little hard to find, and you'd swear there's nothing behind the dealership when driving by at night). read more

Casual place for a beer either alone or with friends. The experience was great yet again and Kyle at the bar was attentive. I love that The Republic carries an array of beers that from in and out of California. I saw Epic Brewing (Utah) and Great Divide (Colorado) on the overhead list. The Lagunitas Cherry ale was so good! I wish they carried that everywhere. Although they have about three dozen craft beers, they also have domestic beers if you'd like a safer choice. read more

Was looking for a place to grab a couple drinks after dinner with some buddies and we saw this spot. Looked kinda sketchy from the outside but went in anyways. Turned out to be a good idea. They have a good amount of craft brews on tap! Love that! They also have a couple a dart boards and a foosball table inside. Bartenders were really cool. Place isn't very big so as the night went on it got a little crowded. Only complain I have about this place is the restrooms. They were pretty bad and it's only a one person bathroom. They need to be more attentive about their restrooms for sure. read more

I had heard about this place for a while before I actually came in to have a drink. I've only been here a couple of times but it's been great! They only been open for a little over a year but they already have a great beer and wine selection. Alot of craft beers on tap, from lagunitas and Firestone to goose island. Amazing beers at average price which works great for me! They have a pool table, darts and a jukebox pretty standard bar room activities but they people are cool and the place is pretty lively. Definitely a spot I'll continue to frequent, just waiting for them to get their liquor license, for now just beer and wine but they told us that they are working on it. Great spot! come down check it out and support the local businesses! read more

Great selection of beer. They had lots of breweries and brews that I don't see most other places, some beers I didn't even know come on draft. They have strong ones and light ones, easy drinkers and full of flavors. Lots of taps too, so there's bound to be something you like. Prices are better than some of the nearby stuckup beer places, pretty reasonable. The atmosphere is divey but it may have just been the day I was there. Not that that's a bad thing, I'm going back if only for that. Come as you are, no obligations, and enjoy. The clientele ranged all over the spectrum so it ended up as good people watching too. The jukebox is cool, just don't play an idiot song and ruin it for everyone. They have a bunch of electronic dartboards for fun and a bunch of TVs for sports. The bartenders are on top of things. It was medium-full and they still made sure my beer was never empty. read more

Met up with a friend for a quick drink, this was my first time at The Republic. I figured that this would be a beer only establishment, but I was wrong. They have wine, and it's in a can. White, Red and Rose. This was a new concept for me, but I was intrigued. I decided on the White can wine, and it was actually really good. Better than wine in a box that's for sure. That's a plus. They also have touchtones, so the music selection was decent. The bartenders were attentive and friendly, and it wasn't too crowded or too slow, it was just right. I'll head back when I'm in Covina again. read more

Good place no pool table, good darts, drinks and vibe though. Cozy and overall good place to be and hang

This bar is great! I haven't ever been to a bar during the day, that doesn't serve food, but still it's awesome. Open for 12 hours 2p-2a *LATE NIGHT YESSS 1. No food served 2. ONLY beer and wine (HappyHour: 2-6p $1off Monday-Friday) 3. Foosball &dart games for $1 There's plenty of room here. I've been served by the gorgeous Jenn& bartender Kyle, and they make VERY INCREDIBLE MICHELADAS, i'm a avid Michelada drinker, and this is top 5 on my list Note** when coming from the 10 freeway directly right after the IHOP, it's a quick RIGHT TURN. If you miss it, you can make a right on ROWLAND and backtrack in the plaza read more

Randomly found this place on yelp and it had good reviews so decided to check it out for a girls night out. Definitely not a Wednesday girls night out kinda place. All the previous reviews were on point with the bar having awesome beers on Tap and a great selection! Atmosphere: "going out to the club/bar" style place. The floor is polished cement with about 10 small high top tables running along the wall and lots of open space. It has a Foosball table, juke box machine, TV's and two high tech dart boards. Also it was very dim lighting. Food/Drink Options: lots of awesome beers on draft - and some peanut on the side if requested Parking is street only If you looking for something really low key-local dive bar- with good craft beer options in the covina area this is the place for you. Shout out to the bar tender who was awesome and pick out the best beer for me. read more

The Republic - moose drool- brown ale - Beer Bar Near Me - Covina, California

Wow. Had such a great experience here. First of all, so many craft beer choices like everyone says. I was indecisive on my pick so they actually let me sample a few. They were so nice and patient with me! I appreciate when bartenders don't make me feel judged and uncomfortable. There are also 3 electronic darts and a foosball table. Played darts for the first time. Super fun... Maybe because I'm competitive and I was able to hit the bullseye twice. (Shameless bragging here.) The Republic is also pretty spacious, with a decent amount of tables and lots of empty space to stand around in. It was pretty empty when I came at 9 PM but filled up as the night went on. Love how close this bar is to me too! Definitely plan on coming back again, at least to play darts haha. read more

First time there, pretty good beer selection. Only problem was getting fast service. Wasn't full at all but took forever to get the bartender to attend to us (she kept flirting with a group of guys). Don't mind people working for their tips but don't forget the other customers. Also, place does not ADA restrooms. Understandable that building is old and are probably grandfathered in, but why not have a portable accessible restroom out back? What, people who are in wheelchairs don't like to go out and grab a drink? Imagine having a few drinks and not being able to use the restroom. The owner should be more considerate for ADA community. read more

I dropped in with some friends after having AYCE sushi. There's a pretty good selection of brews on tap + bottles. I believe most of the beers were from the SoCal area which was nice since I'm used to drinking SF stuff. The service was pretty nice. The bartender was able to suggest a beer based on the characteristics I wanted. Prices were standard for a tap room ~ $5 - $8 for a pint. I was surprised to see the place absolutely dead on a Friday night. People started to trickle in around 10:00pm but the ratio was like.. 5:1 (which might be an abnormality since I'm not from the area). The place also has foosball for $0.50 per game and darts with prices varying. The foosball table is a competition level Tornado and comes with high-performance balls. The table needs A LOT of maintenance - The field was really dirty, the bars weren't greased, and the table was really off-balanced. My guess is real foosball players don't drop in very often. For darts - pick them up at the bar and pay for your games at the machines. The darts came with extra tips which is great for terrible players like myself. Definitely a cool place to hang out and have a chill evening. The place's laid back vibe isn't really for me but give it a try! Maybe you'll like it. read more

Great bar to visit for a chill afternoon with friends. This bar das an old school feel, with drop down tin ceiling and and the smell of old cigarettes. The bartender is super nice and very knowledgeable. Music isn't too loud and if you'd rather they have outdoor seating. Parking is plentiful on the street or parking lot near by. read more

The republic is a cute bar very close to work. They have a good selection on beer. I personal don't like beer. But they had a really good pineapple beer BANGIN !!! They don't serve bar food. Just little candy snacks. I would definitely go back to chill and drink beer. They also have have a hot female bartender. She cute! read more

BAD ATTITUDE AND HORRIBLE LANGUAGE!!! It was a good experience until 2AM, the bartender told us they are going to close in 5 minutes at 1:55AM, so we hurried up and finished our bottles, but at 1:59 AM and took all our drinks even I was holding my bottle for my last drop, and he said I need to take all your drinks because we are closing now, I said ok let me finish this one last drop (it was like less than 50ml Corona), and he said no I have to take it it's the California law to take all drinks at 2, (it was 1:59 when I checked my phone), and he said, "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, IT IS THE LAW AND YOU CAN GO TALK TO FUCKING ANYONE." I still couldn't believe he said that F word to his customer who just tried to finish the last drop before he wants to leave, I was holding the bottle and almost finished it but he just TOOK IT FROM MY HAND. I understand it and respect his work but no one would do that to the customers. This happened on Monday and hopefully if anyone still wants to go there, you won't be treated like this. read more

Last time I went here it was the B-Back and Smirnoff Ice was a thing... I went again over the weekend. It's a nice local bar. I'd go back again. Quiet/Talkable (as bars go, but it was a Sunday) clean, didn't smell, nice bartender, good cider and great music. read more

I'm giving three Stars based on the atmosphere inside and the bartender, I want to see if her name is Jennifer. She was very friendly and very courteous. Me and my friend went in for a quick drink not too long ago. It seems like a really nice location, it wasn't overcrowded and everybody was minding their own business there was plenty of room at the bar so we took a seat. The only issue was that they did not have any hard liquor. Just a variety of beer. I was lucky they had canned soda as they did not have well drinks either. read more
