“Good cozy tavern bar. Small place, good spot to stop on your bar hopping day. The food is too expensive tho. The turkey sandwich was dry and the fries were over cooked and too salty.

If it gets really busy it can be hard for the solo bartender to get back around to you. Over all go check it out.“

“Great atmosphere and great service. The Shuffle Board Table is really fun to challenge your friends.“

“My grand father Ray Grady used to love this place I have been lucky to come drink at the table its amazing and its so tucked into a spot you would never know it was there. Love this place I think the steak house chris n pits its gone but anther great spot in this gem of a zone.“

“We called in today early to try catch the football from the minute we sat down we was made to feel so welcome and that was both from biff behind the bar to all the locals that came in 😁 thank you for making our last morning in California so good Sean & Jo“

“I’ve been coming to The Shanghai’d Room for a little over two years now! The atmosphere has been great every time! The drinks are made with care, and the regulars are lively and friendly. The highlight of this spot is the karaoke from 8 pm - closing daily. I really found my confidence here!

This is greatly due to the lovely bartenders on staff. Meow was the first one that welcomed me and my friend in, and she was very attentive and made sure we had a blast!

All in all, the people are great and the decor is cozy and relaxing. A great spot to hit up during the weekdays as well as the packed weekends!“

“I came for a short trip to Southern California and stumbled upon this micro brewery thanks to a Lyft driver.

Just like one of the other reviews mentioned- this place is a hidden gem!
When my friend and I pulled up to the outside we weren't sure to expect since it's inside an office plaza.

We almost thought we had the wrong place. Once we were in however we were greeted by a warm atmosphere and found it to be really down to earth and fun. There are big tables and even board games in the back that you can play while sipping on some great beer.

We were helped by Jes (Jessica) and she was awesome! She provided great service, was very down to earth, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. She let us try different beers and her fun and engaging personality that added a great flare to the place!

I'd love to come back the next time I'm in the OC area!“

“love this spot ! Music, food ,& the service is awesome 👌 Will be back !“

“A good spot for a casual meet up for drinks and to play pool. Can spend hours here as other locals are friendly, bar staff all pleasant and good music on the jukebox. Drinks are reasonably priced and we definitely spend more on pool than drinking“

“Laid back with classic rock, some hip-hop and alternative. Good deals on drinks when you’re there early. Nice owner and locals“

“Sun light hours, this is a neighborhood bar with 50% of patrons being regulars. Staff knows everyone, and it's very welcoming. Come at night if you want a good drink and a loud dive bar. Pool table, golden tee, and they just added 2 dart boards. Live music a few nights a week. Cheap prices here don't mean cheap drinks.“

“This bar is rocking! Great music, bar maids, and cool crowd!“

“Great live music, wonderful bartenders, low key atmosphere!!!“

“This is a quiet, tucked-away bar with plenty of space inside. It features pool tables, pinball machines, and soon will have Phoenix online dart boards where you can compete with players from around the world or from the bar next door. Dart leagues are starting soon, so ask the bartender for more information and to sign up. There’s also a TouchTunes jukebox for your music needs.“

“It’s a wonderful place to hang“

“Great place for drinks bartender was awesome and super nice. Great beer selection and great music too“

“I had a good time Met someone I used to work with And it seem like you had a conversation with everybody in there“

“Awesomeness love this bar“

“love this place I always enjoy myself when I go met new friends while I was there“

“While I will get personal in this review to a degree, I will also be completely honest. The people you meet at ruby's are a mixed bunch between wonderful and terrible. Though that speaks of the patrons. Among which I have met what might as well be a brother to me, an only child naturally. A father to me, someone raised by a single mother. As well as plenty of friends who care... but also those who'd just take advantage, the good people far outweighed the bad. The ownership is up in the air right now due to a divorce where either potential option has their perks and I'll remain neutral despite saying that the husband's choice in manager needs to learn humility and how to speak to people, an issue many young managers face and must learn in the field when first given a leadership position. As well as the wife's choice could stand to learn when to say no. Regardless though during their personal issue, the staff remains strong and solid. Bartenders who genuinely care enough to personally make sure customers get home safe and sound, as well as give a chance to noble souls amongst the downtrodden, and I speak as someone in love with one and living with one as well.. when alone and broken before, and it was more than one of them, nearly all of them who put in an effort towards helping me through multiple deaths in the family as well as my partner of 10 years leaving me. They are trusting, sometimes too much for their own good, and there is a reason I make the drive from lake Elsinore to anaheim more often than not, and rarely their westminster location still despite the options in between. I have faith in ruby's, it's regulars, and it's staff... no matter who leads it between Cherie and Mike, I know so long as it maintains its spirit, it can and will survive and do well. And I say this as someone with their popularity in reviews based mostly in negative truths. Ruby's sports bar is one of few establishments I place faith and trust in. And if anyone who reads this finds me there, let me know and we'll take a shot on me to Ruby's and the hope and memories it creates!“

“LOVE the GOAT‼️♥️ 1st place I headed on my last day to begin my RETIREMENT‼️ Life is good‼️😃“

“Fun place bartenders are nice, They host Pool league and a Dart league several nights a week dart players are older folks who can be slightly rude but otherwise fun place for any night of the week they have TouchTunes jukebox that has an app you can pick almost any song you can think of it's fun“

“Love to play pool at this spot. Glad to be back and by the sea, this crowd is an excellent crowd to be around and this place flocks in some very interesting people.??The pool tournaments are organized and the drinks are to die for. Mixed to perfection and not to mention are well worth the money. The food is worth the money as well. Compliments to the chef! ?I had a really great time for the hour I was there, and unfortunately had to leave because of work in the morning. ?“

“I came to visit the store next door. Decided to walk in. I was greeted with one of if not the most appropriate greeting a dive bar bartender can give you if their goal is to make me a regular. If you are not a dive bar fan... We understand.“

“Huevos hay boy ya. Donde estas“

“Great new management! Good priced stiff drinks and great service!!! I’ll be there once I find more days off!!! Thank you George for turning this place around and all your hard work!!“

“Raise your beer if you enjoyed Mother’s yesterday afternoon when Dylan James played Dreams? Or Tennessee Wiskey? Did you join the whole bar join when he pealed the dollar bills off the ceiling with Revival?
As Dylan says” Tip the Bartenders”!!!“

“Loren was extremely awesome and running the bar pretty much by herself. She's extremely friendly and full of smiles for sure. When I come to bars like these ones, I look for customer service and not looks but she was on my list for best customer service.“

“Bartender (Madlynn?) was very pretty and welcoming. Vibe was what I expect at a sportsbar and plenty of parking. When the Angels game started, I asked and they immediately threw the game on. No Complaints. If it was closer to home, I would be here all the time.“

“Frickin awesome local bar. Friendly bartender. They have high noon and full bar. Took circuit golf cart service here. Tiny shot gun place with medium loud music (digital jukebox). Street parking otherwise. Yes, will be back! Open until 2a, not 3am.“

“If you play pool this is your place anywhere from novice to pro tables are well maintained for public standards fun atmosphere.

“I don’t know if they serve food, don’t really care because it’s a bar so they have all the things I’m looking for. The bartenders are really nice, it’s a great crowd of people that u can feel at ease with and the drinks are delicious. I like the location because it’s by all business that close early so there’s plenty of parking at night. There’s a Mexican food taco stand on the corner if u get hungry. They have a clean and well lit outside area for smokers. I thought it was a great bar in Long Beach“
