Trashy place. Dirty and nasty.
Locals places are always the best!

This is the rude security. So unprofessional.

Nice place with an outdoor type of feeling because of all the windows and a PB locals spot.

The DJ does not take song requests. The food is also terrible and they have super overpriced drinks. Terrible service too

ZERO stars is truly deserved! I'm visiting from LA for my 41st bday which is TODAY! and walked in there for a quick drink before starting our beach day. The second we walked in the bartender asked for our ID's. Not greeting, no drink order then asked for an ID. Then when she saw my facial expression of disgust, since I've been a bartender for 19 years and have NEVER greeted a guest like that she says "don't get offended I'm just doing my job" as if her approach was ok. At that moment I was DONE but my friend that I'm visiting is a local so she ordered a drink and I refused. Bc I don't want to support any business that hires this type of people to serve anyone. I also over heard her say "she's probably 21" after she literally just checked me ID that clearly stated my age was WELL over 21. I unapologetically have great genes. Still not a reason to be rude to a customer! Don't go here if you're looking for a good time bc apparently bitches behind the bar are a thing. I'll definitely be reporting this place to the health department as well since the fruit was moldy and there was flies all over it. If you go here definitely refuse any type of garnish. Never going here again and you shouldn't either!!

Your standard dive bar! Cheap drinks, music vibe changes a lot so sometimes it's really fun and sometimes its not the best. Bartenders are nice, I like the outdoor patio for air too. It's definitely a good stop if you're barhopping in PB! Can get really really busy on the weekends, especially when college is back in session!

Long story short, just AVOID. There's so many other bars that are friendlier, do not smell, are not packed af, and make actually decent drinks. With our entire family, at least 10 plus, they let everyone in except my fiancé who is an international citizen from England. He showed him his drivers license, but the red headed beard bouncer would not allow him to come in without a passport. (Also who would risk their passport on a night out drinking? Especially when his ID worked everywhere else we went.) I asked where the policies were and they clearly state "international citizens must provide Driver license and/or passport." And I pointed at that and he told me to "Eat a dick." My whole family of 10+ took our money elsewhere.

Worst place to go. I went out with buddies after being gone for work for a while, and wanted to be nice and order us all a drink, I understand it was busy but I waited a long time before they went to go get my order. It was expensive and because of the service I didn't leave a tip for my first drink order. After that he refused service to me when I went to get another drink and stated "I only serve people who tip" and went on to tell all the other bar tenders not to serve me. Horrible place and will never come back.

I don't even know how to start this. Immediately upon walking into the establishment, my friends and I were approached by a mega roach on the main bar. The bartender then flicked the roach onto my friend and giggled after. It's going to take years of therapy to process this event. Please keep my friends and I in your thoughts and prayers

Security guard pushed my friends brother to the floor and his skull cracked open. As he laid on the floor the security watched him suffer and almost bleed to death. A by stander saw what happened and cops were eventually called. The ambulance took him to hospital where he remained in a coma for a week scariest moments of this family's life. Yet the security guard continues to work there without any remorse or repercussions. If you don't like being a security guard with drunk people around go find another profession and QUIT. #nomorecrackedskulls
