If I could give Zero stars to this dog shit place, I would. Went in on the night of 16 DEC 2025 to shoot some pool with a close friend of mine. I have an ADA LICENSED service dog NOT AN ESA OR A PET, and the tool bag working behind the bar doesn’t know the difference nor the legality issues he just caused for himself and the bar he works at by not allowing access to a SERVICE dog and handler. He proceeded to “close” the bar early, conveniently enough right after I told him Oceanside PD was on the way. He proceeded to close the bar at Appx. 11pm when their hours are until 1am. 10/10 don’t recommend wasting your time at this place nor spending the absurd overcharge costs for a simple beer. Do better, Maxdon’s.

Clean pool tables and equipment. Good space for shooters. A little bit too loud.

California updated the design of their drivers license on October. I renewed my ID this month and they thought it was fake. I gave them evidence in the form of articles in California change the design and they didn’t believe me.

Haven't been in years and decided to try it out. Everything has changed since 5 years ago and it felt more like a dive bar than anything. Couldn't get food because the bartender didn't know how to cook or what to cook since she was by herself. One thing I did notice was when she grabbed a ball of ice from the back with her hand. Ewww... Gross. The other guy did grab it with disposable gloves. She was rushing an forgot about our tab. I felt she was rushed, exhausted, and seemed irritated.

Interesting place. I got a Long Island ice tea (not knowing it was a $5 special..was cool, but mostly ice) I figured I would get a second one (don’t worry, I was walking) and asked for the same exact thing and he came back and said $10 bucks, I’m like what happened to the $5 offer?, he said “It’s a tradition, to have a double on the second drink). New to me lol
And for Gods sake.. FIX THE WOBBLING CHAIRS AND TABLES. MY TABLE WAS SO BAD, IT WAS ABOUT READY TO TIP OVER!

Have been hearing how this is “the pool bar.” Tried it out and had to wait an hour and a half for a table because once you pay for a game the table is yours till you’re done with it. Nobody in there actually plays pool. trashy people in and outside the bar. If you’re looking to play pool I’d go to a normal bar where you can just play winner on any given table you want.
Parking: Watch out!! Lots of tweakers in the parking lot!
Very personable bartender. Had fun. Clean and comfortable.

Can’t believe we’ve been oside residents for years and never been here. Super clean, super rad. Pool tables to boot!

The bartender was great just until I wanted one more drink, she ignored me and when I went to go use the bathroom she cleared where I was sitting, i wasn't even done. Nothing but old folks in there anyways. The food I ordered was horrible. No tip.

Came by because a few acquaintance talked good about this bar but nothing great about it just a really big bar with slow service. The 5 pool tables saves this place definitely.
