Attentive staff. Strong drinks. Jukebox! Pool and a back porch. I used to come here all the time with my best friend. I haven't been since they opened an outdoor area to comply with Covid rules during the pandemic. But, I can't wait to go back again sometime.

Good dive bar in the Arts District. I went there solo on a Friday night. Lots of nice folks. Very red inside thanks to Christmas lights. Ignore Google's weird description on it being a "masculine" place. It was nothing like that.

Good dive bar in the Arts District. I went there solo on a Friday night after dinner at Bestia. Lots of nice folks, including the bartender, who told me the history of the bar - one of the last real working class bars left in the area. Very red inside thanks to Christmas lights. Pizza by the slice next door, but I did not try.

Fantastic vibe, great service. I was initially going to Guerrilla Tacos but then I saw the Tony's "cocktails" neon sign--it stopped me in my tracks and I had to go in. Great, recently serviced pool table that takes credit cards. $1/game. Drinks were a bit on the expensive side. Their happy hour cocktail (Pineapple Paloma) was $12. Great outdoor area. They're not stingy with the heater. The bar was toasty! I ended up spending $10+ on the jukebox to keep the low energy country music at bay. Everyone cheered when I played Nine Inch Nails's "Closer," haha. I'd definitely go back!

This location is extremely unsafe and loud. A friend of mine went there and said it was full of creepy men. The music they play is deafly loud.Wheelchair accessibility: The bar is full of people who are disabled.

So disrespectful to their patrons and neighbors! Have no regards to their customers and surrounding community! If I can give ZERO star, I would! I only provide a review if the service is either amazing or TERRIBLE. Save your money, go to Everson across the street or Bike Shed just down the block -- for better service, better everything! I don't even know how or why they have 4 stars on YELP...?!?!

Get pizza at Pizzanista next door if you're hungry. This is a great little bar. Good vibes. Great drinks. Fun peeps.Parking: It's going to be a little work to find parking on weekends when it's busy, unless you have great parking karma, then you just park like around the corner.

Had the worst experience with the security guard just now. Left my Uber, threw away a beverage I had in hand, and then he proceeds to tell me I'm too drunk to get into the bar, when I haven't even had a single drink! What a joke. He says that he could tell by the way I was walking. What a load of BS. Don't bother coming here.
Cool place for the area, genuinely relaxing atmosphere. Apart from the male bar staff. Asking for specific drinks (bourbon, not rye) offends the bar staff and results in uncalled for rude, snarky and aggressive service. Settled and left, as still expected a 20% tip. I guess come if you want a good atmosphere and don’t care if you get the correct drink or not.

Check your bank statements, they add in an additional gratuity aside from what you originally leave them. I checked the comments after & it's not the first time they do it. Will never come back. This is such a shady/lowlife thing to do.

Today I had the best service in my Tony's Saloon career. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was going to be a spectacular service night. My favorite spot was open & before I could even sit, the cute skinny skater boy bartender had my drink, beer, water & necessary glass for trash (I'm no slob) waiting for me. Regardless of my 5 star rating, I would NOT recommend this place... but only because you'll disturb my princess like red carpet service.

No sense of courtesy or respect for local residents. They are currently blasting live rock music for the last hour. It’s past 11pm on a Sunday night.

Cool bar . Wasn't expecting what I walked into. It was very big actually with the outside area . Also pizza place next door very convenient! Drinks are good and prices are reasonable
