I didn't have any food but I think Tony's prices are cheaper than other bars I've been to. I haven't been there in awhile (like many years) and it still has friendly bartenders and a pool table/pinball .. love the atmosphere!!

If you’re looking for something trendy or upscale, this isn’t it. This is a quiet, no-frills bar where nobody’s trying to impress anyone. Just a solid spot with one bartender keeping the drinks flowing for a crowd of regulars who know each other’s names — and probably each other’s stories too.
It’s not polished, and it’s not trying to be. It’s the kind of place where you can sit down, have a drink, and just be. No judgment, no pretense — just people unwinding after a long day. If you’re looking for a real place with real people, you’ll feel right at home.

Me and my friend chose to stop at this place because it looked like a nice bar, and we were planning on playing pool there. It was busy at the bar, so we sat at a table trying to decide what to drink. I looked at the bar tender because I was about to go ask what beers they have, and she said we can't just sit and hang out here and we have to order something. I was literally about to order, and what else do you do at a bar other than drinking and hanging out. The fact that we were there just for a few minutes and had that happened was shocking to me. I'm not a business owner, but I would treat people with respect. We went there to drink and have fun, and what would the business getting in the end? ... My money. Good thing we left, I spent it somewhere better

Tony's place is THE place to be at 9am any day of the year. We make our yearly pilgrimage to Tony's the Friday morning of MLK weekend, as it is the only bar that is open when our flights land from Colorado for our annual beach Ultimate frisbee tournament in Huntington Beach and weekend of debauchery.
They recognize our crew as soon as we walk in and welcome us with open arms. You would never know is was 9am as the place is already packed with regulars and the blinds are always drawn. Get sucked into the atmosphere and enjoy the company. It's basically like being in a real life version of Cheers.
Know what you're in for and adapt to your surroundings and you'll have a great time. Expect anything more than a locals dive bar and you'll be disappointed.

I was early for an appointment in the strip mall where Tony's place resides. Thinking I'd pop in to use thier restroom real quick because I drove for 45 minutes and my friend had not arrived to open her shop. Walking through the door I thought, this is probably a great little dive bar. Bar does a big U and it was all red lighting inside, pretty cool for a dive bar. I respectfully asked the bartender if I could use the restroom as I was walking towards it. She said "no you may not". I stopped thinking I heard her incorrectly so I repeated my ask. She said "NO YOU MAY NOT", in a more forceful tone. So I turned and left saying WOW. I get restrooms are for customers only but is it really necessary to be so completely rude to a potential future customer. The encounter could have gone so many different ways but for some reason the woman chose to be rude. I probably would have bought a drink had she suggested it. ?♀️I highly recommend putting signage on or near front door stating "restrooms are for customers only" so no one in the future has to experience the miserable hag sitting behind the bar...

No food available here. Only cash is accepted but ATM available in bar.The only thing I would say is there is no sign on the door for entrance from the parking lot.. So walked around the entire building.. Looks like a fire door.Bartender didn't seem to know all of the prices and made them up as she went. She was nice though but seemed to get charged more than others.Pool table looked OK. No Public WiFi available.

Pretty standard dive bar. Lots of stuff on tap with a pool table, dart board, and typical gambling computer games on the side. T-shirts are $30.00. Pretty much locals are here and it gets crowded around 10:00 at night with 20-somethings so if you want it to be nearly empty come around 8:00. Bring a good attitude and good sportsmanship if you're gonna play pool.
