Green Olive

I came here in September 2017... so this review is nearly 3 years overdue but better late than never. It's rona season and I now got nothing but time. I totally forgot about this experience until now and thought I should leave a well-deserved review. My cousins and I happened to be bar hopping on this early Fall night. I used to love dive bars and this happened to be one of our stops. Typical divey place. Small town vibes. Racism in the air. Just lovely. I am usually not too bothered as I prefer to mind my business and enjoy my time. Also I was living in Fresno at the time so I am used to this ignorant behavior. One of my cousins lives in L.A. and she was not used to this subtle (not so subtle?) racism and "better than y'allllll" attitude from the locals. We went to order dranks at the bar and I thought everything was fine. Cheap prices for a strong pour. A couple of us walked over to go play pool. My L.A. cousin then came over to us visibly upset and wanted to leave. We were confused as to why and told her to let us finish our drinks first. Apparently some white whispered "white is right" in her ear as she was ordering her drink. SAY WHAT? Uhhh nah girl. Looking back, I feel bad for not leaving right away as my cousin was very upset. We stayed for maybe 10 min to finish our drinks and played a game of pool. I should have been more bothered as racism is unacceptable, but I did not take it seriously at the time. I was kind of oblivious. Also when we walked in everyone stared and someone had the caucasity to ask if someone ordered Chinese food. LOL. I legit thought they were serious but later realized they meant us. It's hard to tell what is serious vs. a joke in a room full of unseasoned chicken, missing teeth, and the aroma of butter and cigarettes. Anywho, that was my great experience at this world class establishment. Don't go here if you are even slightly ethnic. They will all stare like you're an alien. It seems like the patrons ain't never traveled more than 5 miles out of their hometown. Snide comments and remarks may also be included. It was a cool experience overall.

I went for bloody Marie's and let me tell you they were absolutely delicious and I will definitely go back when I have the time and money

Nice mix of people. Cheap drinks and cheap pool tables add the jukebox and bam!!!!! Good times.

My sister and I walked in and the place wasn't super packed, but it wasn't empty either. We spent 10-15 minutes trying to flag down the young woman behind the bar, but we were completely ignored. Apparently she was being paid to talk to her friends and spend a lot of time on her phone showing her personal pictures and whatnot. After being ignored, we just decided to leave and go somewhere more friendly and welcoming. If I wanted to be ignored like this I would have just stayed home with my cat! I'm very disappointed because I have heard good things about this place, but after being treated like I was invisible, I have little to no interest in spending any of my time and money here. Tell your bartenders to stop "hanging out" and do their job!

It's a great place with great service lots of fun on karaoke night on Thursdays ,good pool tables alot of great people

First time visit, not much of s pulse. About 5 pool tables no one was playing and quiet, no music either. Guess it's a hit and miss place!!!???

Stopped in after work for a night cap. The bartender was so drunk she did not even notice me. Playing pool. No wonder I have not been there in over 5 years.. just skip. There are a lot of wonderful bars downtown.

The perfect local dive bar that everyone will enjoy. Solid bartenders, plenty of pool tables and the coldest beer in Visalia. Everybody is friendly and I LOVE the atmosphere.

My first time coming here, the body guard said the bar closed @ 1:30am it is currently 1:18 & we got there @1:12 We just wanted a few drinks, but to treat customers willing to pay the way the bodyguard did it just felt like there was another reason why they didn't let me in. I am not from Visalia & I am currently on a work trip. It was very disappointing if that's what they showed me for my first experience was good service I can care less about giving my hard earned money to a place like this. 10/10 don't recommend...

Cool little dive bar, pool tables and cheap drinks. The service is decent and the security guy at the door was friendly and professional.
