Way over priced. Tall modelo $15.what a joke, I'm sorry but I shouldn't have to pay for the bartenders fake tits. This place has gone down hill.

Wanting to give a chance to some home town bars, a great friend of mine suggested we hit this bar considering it was closer in distance compared to the bars we routinely attend. After all, Tustin is a very great place to be so I wasn't oppose to the idea. While looking up the bar, not only did I consider it to be well-reasoned, I also felt like it had potential to be a new favored spot though I wasn't expecting much from this bar to be quite truthful. Although we approached the idea with a positive/open mindset I have to sincerely admit we were was profoundly let down. Opening the door, I expecting a warm welcoming feeling though I recieved the complete opposite. No "Hello" or even a friendly greeting simply a bunch of cold stares which my buddy described as "harshly staring into your soul". The environment itself with all the other customers was one of the worst I've ever experienced in a bar like scenario. A handful of customers were mute and while others preferred to stick with their tight knit groups rather then take into account the idea of socializing (one of the most enjoyable aspect of attending a bar). Though one thing I will admit is we arrived about 40 minutes before it closed so I'm sure we weren't doing anyone any favors with that. Although the atmosphere was dismal, I will admit the service was great. The bartender Lauren embodied a very inviting and serviceable personality. The staff seemed extremely approachable which is something a customer can appreciate when going to any establishment more so a bar. The decor was simple but classic, in my opinion a more play it safe type of approach was taken. If there's anything I can recommend is possibly putting up a few historic/recognizable features of the community of Tustin in hopes of providing an identity to the bar. You know considering the bar is located in the hearth of Old Town Tustin. The place was very clean, organized and smell was great. Didn't stay long and can't say I really enjoyed my time spent there though one thing I did enjoy is the prices being cheap haha I'm sure thats something anyone can enjoy.

Great pub and restaurant run by a fantastic owner "Kim". I started going to the door in the 90s when I lived in Tustin and still go to this day even though I live 30 miles away. Kayla is the sweetest and most likable bartender in Orange County. She always tends to her patrons and makes everyone who stops by for a drink feel special. I love the experience and love this pub!

An interesting bar with an apparently local clientele. The waitress/bartender was very friendly and helpful but clearly overworked. She made me an outstanding margarita which is all too rare for local bars. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Typical neighborhood bar. Food was made well, but fairly basic. It was a football playoff Sunday, there could have been another bartender to assist the one that was doing her best to keep up with everyone's requests. Overall a good experience, will likely head back if in the Tustin area.

What can I say, It's the swing door. I've been coming here for decades. It a much better and cleaned up place now, but I do miss the risqué bartender outfits.Drinks are good, and there is pool and music.
