I came here last week for the first time with a friend visiting and it was an incredible experience. The drinks were spot on, the food was tasty and the music and energy of the place was spot on. Jacque took great care of us and made us feel right at home. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fun vibes, good food & drinks, and great service. Thank you Jacque for making our experience one of a kind and so special. We will definitely be back again!! 😌
Been coming here for years. Not as often as the “locals”. Majority of the time, horrible customer service or a welcoming hello. Wait for 30 minutes for a beer!! Servers too interested in getting tips from older men to pay for their lip filler.
I tried booking a private event and was really surprised by how rude the manager (I believe is Kim) was over the phone. It felt like she wasn't interested in helping at all, which is disappointing when you're trying to support a business. If she's the owner, I’d suggest bringing someone on who’s better with customer service. And if she’s the manager, the owner should really take a look at the feedback—seems like I’m not the only one who’s had this experience. 0/10 she made me not want to host my event there anymore.
Relaxing afternoon cold beer, a quick game of pool and nice jams. Green bean fries a must.
Great spot during the day. Everyone mines there own business. Has a few tvs and service was good. Parking was a little bit challenging. I would go back again.
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.
Nice place

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.
