Old favorite hang out of mine when in town. Just a nice place to chill and have a beer.

This is by far my favorite local watering hole. This is a classic dive bar but without the clicky atmosphere that sometimes goes along with those places. There are 2 decent pool tables which are free until 8 each day. Really a welcoming and fun place, right on El Camino Real in the triangle next to several great restaurants. I’d recommend it to locals and out of towners.

So apparently, if you're of color, they do not allow you to enter without a California ID regardless if you possess any other valid state ID. I would give it 0 stars if possible. Definitely avoid

Anti Veteran/American establishment. In 2010 I just got home from a very intense combat deployment in Afghanistan. I was alone, my wife and family on the east coast and rode my bike from base into town to get a beer, mind you this is the day I came home from war. I was denied because I did not have a California ID, they did not accept my Military Identification Card. Recent reviews indicate the same thing is happening as of this year. What a shame, a truly dishonorable establishment. I was denied a beer because I had a military ID. Their excuse as "only California IDs" is because they are a rich town next to a military base. 🗑

I couldn’t believe my eyes!!I’m a 53 year old woman so I walked in with no problem. I was meeting my son (recently stationed Marine Officer at Pendleton) and I took a seat at the bar near the door. “Security” gave him an incredibly hard time because he didn’t have a California ID. That’s right, he had his home state ID and a military ID proving his age (23). I personally asked the bartender and the bouncer for clarification and they said “that’s the way it is.” That’s a crazy shame. Go anywhere but here…I know my family will.

Discriminatory bar, anti-American, the bar is right outside the Marine Corps base yet does not serve marines, how could you not want to support your country. If you don’t support your country like the bar then you belong here. Ironically the bar hires a marine as a bouncer tho. If you have an out of state ID do not even try.

Have came to this bar several times over the last 2 years and was refused service simply for not having a California license. Not to mention it's one of the closest bars to a Marine Corps installation.
