Where do you start with this one, besides the female owner this place is a gem ;). The BEST dive bar in town, great prices and stiff drinks. The bartenders are great!! If you stick around long enough you will get fed and see the owner do his favorite dance! Whooooo

Just adding more start to the business. It's a dive bar a tad sideways but it works . From time to time you might get some cowboy bar frights and funny drunk people

This bar is absolutely terrible. The owners will kick you out for no good reason. A man put his hands on a woman the man happened to be best friends with the owner and the owners condone this behavior. If you don't want to be abused by losers I wouldn't go to this bar. One of the worst bars in El Cajon.

been coming to this bar for a while and lots of complaints from others that they charge other people's drinks on the wrong peoples tabs! So let me sum it up! I always pay cash there I've used my card on several occasions but the most I've put on my tab/card was 7 dollars! A few weeks ago I noticed a 61$ charge on my card. Mind you I don't even drink I go to hang with some family member. I had my bank investigate the charge and it came back deemed in my favor, now let's fast forward to last week me and my bf pulled up there and we were immediately approached by the owner Debbi who completely embarrassed us by pulling up the notice bank sent her and immediately she accused of fraud, this owner is so unprofessional she began to send out mass text messages to staff members in a group chat saying that if we come to bar we are only allowed cash. Fast forward a week later we go to bar and me and my bf walked in and now the owners husband Dennis confronts us yet again publicly humiliated us over 61$ when we've spent so much money there. He began to tell us in front of other customers that our cards were no good there and we thought we were slick with the scam we pulled! At this point I'm like what's up with the unprofessionalism? I proceeded to go outside and ask the owner Debbi for a moment of her time privately . I told her that the way she handling the sitUstinov very unprofessional and that I felt like we were being attacked every time we come in now and that's it's not right to smud peoples names! She began to yell at me and point her finger in my face! I told her to get her finger out my face and to act professionally but what can you exp when the owners are drunk too??? I normally wouldn't care or make a stink but they have racially profiled us at this place because we are an interracial couple. I've actually helped behind the bar cleaning and washing dishes to help them out before and I've never asked them for nothin! Dennis also came out and started yelling at me saying because of me they now have lost points for their business I told them ain't no way this has never happened before because literally customers there have complained about being overcharge! the bartender even said it happens all the time! I'll tell you this if I don't drink and there's no way my bf going to drink 11 drinks that fast That tab was bs! the owners didn't handle this situation with integrity by sending out group texts and telling others at the bar that we scammed them for 61$ lol that's funny to me! If I could give 0 stars I would!
