41 Best Dive Bars near Fullerton

“It’s a wonderful place to hang“

“This bar is rocking! Great music, bar maids, and cool crowd!“

“Good cozy tavern bar. Small place, good spot to stop on your bar hopping day. The food is too expensive tho. The turkey sandwich was dry and the fries were over cooked and too salty.

If it gets really busy it can be hard for the solo bartender to get back around to you. Over all go check it out.“

“Great local dive bar with live music on the weekends. They pour a stiff cocktail, and the prices are fair. They don't serve food. However, there is a Mexican restaurant next door that offers takeout, or there will sometimes be a food truck that will pop by. My only minor gripe is that it is an Irish bar in name only. They have some Irish decor around the bar, but they don't have Guinness on tap, which is really a shame. It's a decent spot to watch a game, but they could use a few more TVs.“

“This bar is clean and the prices are great!!! Friendly bartenders and patrons �“

“I came for a short trip to Southern California and stumbled upon this micro brewery thanks to a Lyft driver.

Just like one of the other reviews mentioned- this place is a hidden gem!
When my friend and I pulled up to the outside we weren't sure to expect since it's inside an office plaza.

We almost thought we had the wrong place. Once we were in however we were greeted by a warm atmosphere and found it to be really down to earth and fun. There are big tables and even board games in the back that you can play while sipping on some great beer.

We were helped by Jes (Jessica) and she was awesome! She provided great service, was very down to earth, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. She let us try different beers and her fun and engaging personality that added a great flare to the place!

I'd love to come back the next time I'm in the OC area!“

“Went to Harry's and don't know if they have food or not bit the Service was awesome. Also has karaoke every Wednesday. MC Bess is AMAZING as a KJ! Great personality, very caring a out everyone there and runs a great rotation with great sound! Will definitely be back!!!“

“Laid back with classic rock, some hip-hop and alternative. Good deals on drinks when you’re there early. Nice owner and locals“

“A Quinton Tarantino dive bar minus the foul smell, filled with retired Marines, contractors, cooks, bus boys, bikers, lawyers, real estate nerds, and college drop out made well types. True dive 101 super clean great music Elvise, Billy Idol, James Brown, Motorhead, Beastie Boys and fidlar, small atmosphere propper drinks, awesome bartenders and a buffalo. Ask about their world famous chili. Please forgive my grammar.“

“We stopped by for a late breakfast and to watch some Sunday football. There was 4 of us. We had breakfast and lunch. The chila quila's were great, and the nachos was enough to share with 4. Beer was cold. They have plenty of tvs and a pool table. Is small but a great place to stop by. Will definitely be going back.“

“love this place I always enjoy myself when I go met new friends while I was there“

“While I will get personal in this review to a degree, I will also be completely honest. The people you meet at ruby's are a mixed bunch between wonderful and terrible. Though that speaks of the patrons. Among which I have met what might as well be a brother to me, an only child naturally. A father to me, someone raised by a single mother. As well as plenty of friends who care... but also those who'd just take advantage, the good people far outweighed the bad. The ownership is up in the air right now due to a divorce where either potential option has their perks and I'll remain neutral despite saying that the husband's choice in manager needs to learn humility and how to speak to people, an issue many young managers face and must learn in the field when first given a leadership position. As well as the wife's choice could stand to learn when to say no. Regardless though during their personal issue, the staff remains strong and solid. Bartenders who genuinely care enough to personally make sure customers get home safe and sound, as well as give a chance to noble souls amongst the downtrodden, and I speak as someone in love with one and living with one as well.. when alone and broken before, and it was more than one of them, nearly all of them who put in an effort towards helping me through multiple deaths in the family as well as my partner of 10 years leaving me. They are trusting, sometimes too much for their own good, and there is a reason I make the drive from lake Elsinore to anaheim more often than not, and rarely their westminster location still despite the options in between. I have faith in ruby's, it's regulars, and it's staff... no matter who leads it between Cherie and Mike, I know so long as it maintains its spirit, it can and will survive and do well. And I say this as someone with their popularity in reviews based mostly in negative truths. Ruby's sports bar is one of few establishments I place faith and trust in. And if anyone who reads this finds me there, let me know and we'll take a shot on me to Ruby's and the hope and memories it creates!“

“I came to visit the store next door. Decided to walk in. I was greeted with one of if not the most appropriate greeting a dive bar bartender can give you if their goal is to make me a regular. If you are not a dive bar fan... We understand.“

“This family owned business has great food and service. The Chinese Food is outstanding!!!! Thank you Lily and Charlie for your hard work and dedication to the community you serve...“

“Always a great time at Shady Nook“

“This place is pretty decent. Ramen isn't the best i've had, but definitely on the better side.. I had their combo with the spicy tuna rice and it was presented very nice and clean. Totally will return to try other things on the menu!“

“This Spot was off the ringer Janelle I hope I spelled her name correctly She was totally Cool her drinks are straight fire and kept me faded lol also Janelle was super fun and paid us attention our drinks were never empty also she had a smile that lit up the whole room Please get some mo Remy and Stella“

“Huevos hay boy ya. Donde estas“

“Bartender (Madlynn?) was very pretty and welcoming. Vibe was what I expect at a sportsbar and plenty of parking. When the Angels game started, I asked and they immediately threw the game on. No Complaints. If it was closer to home, I would be here all the time.“

“Great place for a good time“

“Small, nice bar in Santa Ana. Tuesday Nights Karaoke with KJ Bess, are just awesome! She's efficient, super sweet and makes it fun for everyone! Bar staff are nice too! If you're a Karaoke buff, stop on by and get your sing on with KJ Bess!

Parking: Parking is only steps away from the door! Lots of street parking too!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily Accessible!“
