I like this place because it knows what it is and doesn't claim to be anything else. Small little dive bar with 2 pool tables and cheap drinks. You can't get a Modelo for under $5 anywhere else as far as I know. I come almost exclusively for the pool tables. Its probably the only place in Costa Mesa that I never have to wait in line for a game. There are good players that come in from time to time to give you a good challenge. Yeah its cash only but that means you're not over charged on drinks to pay for those processing fees. My only complaint would be the bathrooms. God they smell horrible. I wish guys had better aim.

Wow! This was a terrible. First time in an ordered a crown and ginger. The bartender's response was we don't have corona. My son ordered the same drink and his was served in a dirty glass that had bar snacks in it. Offer my credit card and was told cash only. (Big turn off) and was told there was an ATM. $11 for a Crown and ginger. Small glass. Won't be back anytime soon.

I've been starved for a real dive bar since moving down to south OC, so this place was a breath of fresh air. As much as a dive bar could ever be fresh. I brought my laptop to get some work done, which got me some confused looks, but hey -- ya gotta do what ya gotta do. There seemed to be quite a few regulars, and they were very friendly! They even got the server's attention for me behind the bar. I had a $7 beer and enjoyed the vibes, until a lady started putting b2b Dead Kennedys songs on the jukebox and concentrating on work became impossible. I'm glad she was living her best life, though. I'd happily come back here for the people watching alone.

1 star for the diamond tables and the Italian restaurant and bakery across the street. Negative a milion stars for a bathroom with NO TOILET SEAT COVERS, 1 ply toilet paper, no hot water and no paper towels, just a hand dryer that blows germ everywhere. Also, they only take cash. Which in and of itself is ok if they dumped some of the taxfree income into some hygenic bathrooms. Also, there is not enough comfortable seating.

It's sad. I enjoy this small dove bar until they allow people to bring there yappy little dogs into the bar.

Loved this cozy neighborhood bar! It has two pool tables, a streaming jukebox, and plenty of seating (including ada seating). Bartender was awesome. Owner was awesome. Very welcoming. Cash only, but no worries, there is an ATM. I'll be back! :)

I stopped by the other night for the first time. Everyone was very friendly and a few patrons even taught me some pool tips. The owner Lio is a great person and I'm happy to support her business in the future! It's a neighborhood bar so if you set your expectations right, you'll have a great time. Can't wait to go back.

Obnoxious female owner hassled me for sitting half in front of bar and half in front of laundry mat I was eating Chinese food bought on site waiting for my laundry to dry. Using two of the three businesses on the property and she accused me of loitering. Even took a picture of me. I smiled

Walked in to watch the fight and I was approached with "can I help you with something" I'm Hispanic and all I saw was white folks in the bar and well let's just say he doesn't have much business for a reason. The other folks sitting at the bar walked away immediately after that intro. He can do a little better on the introductions like saying "hey there is this your first time here?" Cause it was my first time and I called ahead of time to ask if they were going to have the fight on and they said yeah. Smh old white dude.all he said was well it looked like you were looking for something and I was. Cause no one was behind the bar and the space was really small plus they had Netflix on the screen so it baffled me when he said they weren't showing the fight. Wish I took a pic of it. Made no sense.

Great dive bar with two brand new diamond tables! I love this place and great affordable drinks.. Cash only bar
