The music playing was loud mariachi type which is fine by me. I'll mention that my guy friend and I are as white as they come and I was nervous going to this establishment as it's obviously geared towards the Hispanic community. However, there were no problems and we all got along just fine. I mention the race thing because unless you've been living under a rock, there's always a divide between Hispanics and whites and whatever and a lot of the community assumes it's too dangerous to be downtown at night because of that fact. I was born and raised in Gilroy I know how it goes . However I refuse to let that keep anybody from relaxing and having a good time..it's ridiculous to hate for no reason. There were no problems we had fun. Thank goodness there is an establishment open til 2am on most nights. We've been there twice so far. Second time was more crowded and it was a good time, no fights and no super drunk people Bring quarters for pool, there's only 2 tables. People were nice enough to let us play instead of claiming a table for the night. I would give 5 stars if they had shuffleboard and more pool tables. Maybe open earlier also like 12 for those that want to spend a day off practicing their pool game.

Probably would visit for a drink again.

I don't think I could ever come here and not order it!! Pop's has such cool, relaxing vibe to it. It feels like home even though I live far away from Gilroy.

I lam glad that I tried this place- it has been on my radar for a while now. The vibe is great as…read morethere are 8 or so tv's spread out throughout the dining room for your viewing pleasure. There is also a pool table and few arcade games! The menu is extensive with plenty of traditional bar food options and some Irish staples. Everything sounded delicious, but I opted for the Pop"s Pub burger. I figured that would be a good starting point to get a feel of how good the food is. The burger was good, but not $21.00 good. The fries were tasty ,and I really enjoyed the side salad that came with it. The burger itself came with lettuce , tomato and a house sauce (thousand island blend). The burger was cooked perfectly , and tasted pretty good. However, when you add a $10.00 IPA to the equation and throw in a tip- I was out $41.00. I didn't like my meal enough to spend that kind of money. For a burger to be this pricey, I needed more. This place seems like a cool place to chill ,watch a game, and enjoy a cold beer. I may just do that next time and skip the meal. The service was poor. Once my food was dropped off , I never heard from the lady again to check on me until she dropped off the check.

Even experienced that bartenders banter all in good fun with many laughs. The place has a couple pool tables and darts which were always busy.

The best combo if you haven't tried it yet.

I've always wanted to visit this place for karaoke, finally made it out on a Saturday night…read more Terrible experience with the KJ for the night. What's the point of karaoke if you turn down the mic and can't hear the singer? Even asking the KJ to turn up the mic mid song and I feel like he turned down the mic even more. The worst part as a singer is you have to put more energy into singing and it's the most annoying thing to do. This KJ had a lot of ego while at it sensitive too for a simple request. He seems to favor the women, quite obvious and sexist. These are the worst kinds of KJ you deal, unfortunately. Yikes! He barely has any singers, and disses new singers -- what a joke. I stayed longer to observe a bit more and I can guarantee you that he definitely has favorite singers/regulars. Side note on the bartenders, they really know how to ignore you lol, I mean this place is really nice, but the people running this place!!! Really don't like the way they treat people. Yuck, never coming back. Hope yall do something about this, puts a bad name on your business.

Good thing someone paid for me but if I had to pay, I would be really mad and would send them back to the kitchen. - Egg Benedict: if you look at the pictures, you can see the eggs are WAYYYY overcooked. I didn't even need to cut them open to know. I used my knife, barely touched it and I instantly knew the eggs were overcooked. How did it even get on the plate. HOW? That plate was $48 and the eggs weren't cooked properly. I couldn't believe it and still can't believe it. Besides the flavor was just okay. - The egg Benedict with Chorizo was super salty. Couldn't even it it. - Bone marrow was really salty too - Same with Fried calamari. It was just okay. The fried calamari I had at Tasty pot at a much cheaper price is way better. - The side of Brussels Sprouts was burnt The ones that I do like from this restaurant is Miss Peaches cocktail and yogurt parfait.

I almost drove right past this place because it's a true hole-in-the-wall, but once I saw the parking lot full of people I knew that was a good sign. Walked in and the place was lively, full of locals, old-school vibe, and the bartender was awesome. I was starving and ordered the steak, chicken and shrimp plate. Bro... that skirt steak was ridiculous. Everything tasted fresh, even the fries and coleslaw were way better than I expected. Big portions too, and they even throw in a little piece of chocolate cake which cracked me up, but somehow fit the whole vibe perfectly. The food was so good I came back the NEXT DAY for lunch and got the New York strip. I was still chasing that skirt steak from the night before but the NY strip was fire too. You can tell this place takes care of its regulars and actually cares about the quality of the food. No fancy BS, just good people, great food, big portions, and a legit local atmosphere. Anytime I'm back in Watsonville, Wooden Nickel is an automatic stop.

I was here on a Sunday evening for a volunteer appreciation dinner…read more I got there around 6pm and there was no parking on the street, I had to go down the block and park in a parking lot. The area tends to be a bit dark but I did not feel unsafe. The restaurant itself is on the Main Street and has ample outside and inside seating. Our group was in the back and we had the area to ourselves. There is large bar with 2 TVs playing games. I did not try drinks from the bar because those were provided by the group I was part off but the staff were helpful and attentive. We also did not order from the menu but had a buffet - small pieces of bread, butter, salad, mashed potatoes, pasta with shrimp, skirt steak and chicken. Unfortunately no dessert. The food was good, especially the skirt steak. The reason for the 4 starts is that nothing really stood out in the menu where I wanted to go back. The place was not very crowded, at the bar or tables. Maybe 3-4 tables were filled. The decor was warm and inviting with mostly wood on the walls and bar. The area was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday evening. The restaurant is definitely worth a try!

The server was very attentive, but the drinks took a long time even though the restaurant was less than half full on a Thursday night. We had a dozen oysters and they were good. Ordered a couple of the burger sliders, medium rare. They were delivered well done and dry. There calamari was perfect, agreed by our entire group. Then there was the tuna, which was very fishy and luke warm. I do not recommend. We were also surprised that at a restaurant of this caliber, they do not provide bread. Instead they charge a dollar per roll, which were nothing special in terms of flavor or functionality. I cannot say Ladera would be in my top choices, if I found myself out on a date night in Morgan Hill.
