I was told this was a dog friendly bar, so I brought my 6mo lab in so I could get a few drinks and socialize her. We ordered drinks and when my mom went to the bathroom, she let out a quiet bark. There were very few people in the bar, one of them being an off shift bartender named Jeff. Jeff was super rude and off-putting, saying things like “you shouldn’t bring your dog into a bar” and refusing to let the other bartender give her a treat to calm her nerves. He was clearly in a mood and drinking didn’t seem to help him. Being drunk at his place of work and scaring off paying customers on a slow night is not a great look for him, or the bar that employs him. I’m very conscious that my dog is not a service animal, and I would never bring her into places that were not specifically pet friendly. Had I known this bar (more so this off shift bartender) was not pet friendly, I would’ve never brought her in. A really terrible experience for me and my mother who drove 4+ hours to visit my sister in Truckee. Please have the owner update their pet policy if only perfectly trained dogs (aka service animals) are allowed in. And to Jeff, she IS a GOOD dog whose still learning to navigate the world. I’m really sorry you felt like you needed some sort of control in your life as a bartender at your big age, I hope that weird power trip made you feel better. Next time skip the drink after work and be miserable at home, the paying customers deserve to have a good experience despite your personal issues.

Great local bar. Nothing more need be said.

We were walking down the street, wanting to find a bar for a fun night out. We heard a hip hop song through the doors and a friendly bouncer interacted with us and charmed us in as we walked passed it.
We sat down and the vibes were just right. A hometown bar with fun murals and knickknacks. We sat down and were surprised to hear R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, and Hyphy music. The bouncer turned bartender was a true highlight of the bar and he made us feel oh so welcomed! We ended up staying through a few lull moments and busy moments.
We thought our night was winding down, then a DJ set up and the bar was PACKED! The DJ played to the crowd wonderfully and made the vibes immaculate, EVERYONE was dancing.
Don’t leave without getting taking a Shotski with your friends!

As this is just a hole in the wall type of place ( which influences the homey small time vibe greatly) Jeff, the star of the show, was an amazing bartender, more than anything his service is what will bring me back

Up until covid hit, I loved playing the Sunday night Open Mic here. The sound system was first rate, the crowd was always enthusiastic and friendly, and the bartender was terrific. The atmosphere is awesome and I am just waiting for the Open Mic to resume!

My dad, Bill Meister, ran the Pastime Club for a lot of years. From the mid 1960s up till around 1990. Good old guy he was...

A female bartender with white hair was rude to us as soon as we came in. There was only a few people at the bar, and she embarrassed us by screaming at us for us to show her our ID’s. We complied but one of our friends forgot her ID in the car, and she proceeded to scream obscenities at us. I could tell she just didn’t want us there because we were the only non-white people in the bar. Very disrespectful.
Amazing place, great music and excellent staff
