47 Best Dive Bars near Westminster

“Would recommend getting food elsewhere like Mike's but I've been coming here since 2014, it's my number one bar to chill and enjoy a couple rounds of billiards. Love the owners and the bartenders, shout out to Cass, Eric, Tess, and Monique. Will continue to be a patron for as long as they stay open.“

“Invited my friend for her Bday treat and was not disappointed 🤩 steak was melting in my mouth and my friend said that fillet mignon was super tender !! potatoes and veggies simply delicious 😋 very good service and atmosphere 🥰 highly recommended 5⭐️👌“

“Cool place to play pool. I’ve never seen it crowded here and the pool table has always been free when I have come in. The service can be a little rough, bartenders aren’t super efficient so it might take a second for them to acknowledge you and serve you a beer“

“Johnnys is hands down the best pizza. The dough is fermented for 3 days before being used and their ingredients are imported from Italy. You can literally taste the quality with every bite. I’m soo glad I discovered Johnnys because I explicitly remember thinking how complicated it felt to order and waiting an hour felt ridiculous. Now, I can’t even imagine eating another pizza it’s THAT good.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I only come here during the daily, karaoke nights and, soon, maybe you will too. Shanghai’d Room is a divebar thru and thru. But I can count on one hand how many bars I’ve been to where I felt welcomed on my first night. And this is the ONLY bar I ever made friends.

There’s usually one or two bartenders being very attentive — making sure glasses are full, singers are purchasing drinks, and new faces get a turn on the mic. each of them has their own charismatic charm and seductive appeal. I can’t help but call out MeowMeow as my fav tho because you cant help but get drawn to her personality (plus the music/mic balance is always on point all night). She was there my first night and the energy in the room was electric.

This is the only karaoke bar where you don’t have the pressure of singing in front of the crowd on stage because there isn’t one. If you’ve ever been in a private karaoke room with friends it’s like that but with 20+ people and ur own bar LOL. If ur flyin solo and like to sing with libations in hand: check em out, sing a song, compliment ur fav singers, and soon you’ll be makin plans to comeback and meetup.

Few tips and house rules to emphasize: no food served so you can byof, only one M & one F restroom, only patrons sing so if you don’t drink buy one for someone else (lol), try the WATER OF LIFE, respect every singer and ask them for permission before you grab the second mic, and FTLoveOG don’t pick multiple songs back to back. Even when a group changes singers with duets, singing 4+ songs looks like ur group is hogging the mic. Lets spread the love and elevate the vibes.“

“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“

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

“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“

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

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

“Been a nice place for many years to sit have a beer, catch a game or sip some wine with a date. My favorite is shooting the breeze or some pool. Serving staff always cordial and with a smile. Pretty decent selection of Taps, bottle and canned beers. Lots of Big Screens to boot“

“It’s a wonderful place to hang“

“Showed up here because my brother J-Rod swore it was the place for pool and beer. Obviously, I assumed he was exaggerating… but nope. Perfect tables, cold drinks, and somehow my pool game improved after two beers. It must be something in the water. Thanks, J-Rod. If you’re looking for the gold standard of pool bars, you’ve found it.“

“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.“

“1st time there and absolutely loved it. Biker bar, bands every Saturday, atmosphere was great. They have a guy outside in back on the grill burgers and chips. Was very good. The wait for drinks wasn't bad, I e been to alot worse where wait time was 300 times longer. The place is a bit small (smallest I've ever been to) but wasn't as bad as I would've thought it to be. I will definitely be visiting again.“

“Huevos hay boy ya. Donde estas“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“Great local bar, drinks are affordable service is friendly and tvs have local sports. Perfect day care for Dad’s. Ladies leave your husbands in good hands!“

“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.“

“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. ?“

“We always have good time at cups Bartender. Steph“

“👍🏻like it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“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“

“A + Beers and Service --- 1/2 Price of the Hipsters bars.“

“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.“
