Hi-Brow

Hi brow is great. I came on a Monday at 1230pm. Very chill older crowd and great drinks. Bartender was very polite and kept a perfectly balanced check in on us. She would ask us if we needed a fill at the right times. You can play tunes with Ami jukebox. I can't wait to come during the weekend and see what it's like!FYI, it may look closed but the entrance was on the side...we thought it was closed lol.

Your local watering hole. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Didn't try the food but loved the atmosphere

My second time here and my husband and I had a fun time. Our bartender was Autumn, I believe. I could be wrong but she was tall and had blonde hair and afew necklaces. She was nice and very attentive. 5 stars in service. I don't have anything to complain about. There wasn't many people maybe just regulars but we had fun. Ambiance was much like a dive bar. The Christmas Decorations were out so that was nice. Cool dive bar, I don't know why all the negative reviews.

This place is hot or cold some bartenders are really good others just suck!!!! Tonight she was so slow it was packed but she moved like a turtle horrible service just suck had to wait 10 to 15 minutes just for a bottle just horrible!!!!!

I'm a Single Mom who works 2 jobs and the Hi Brow is walking distance from my home. This use to be a great place for me to go after work around 11pm to unwind and meet my Best Friend. But there's a new ridiculous rule regarding fraternizing.... And now no employees can have friends in the bar when they work.... My issue is the inconsistency. Because the bartenders still have their girlfriends/boyfriends visiting. I've been in Customer Service for over 25 years and my advice to the owners of this business is to invest in a secret shopper. Then you'll discover where your problems are coming from.

Best bar on Foothill. Amy is the best bartender ever. The reviews on here of people slamming this place is laughable...bring your ID and don't be rude to the bartenders...simple idea. It's a bar for adults with their act together, bring your ID and your money..leave your attitude at home.

I rate things based on what they are. Are dive bars five star establishments? No. But is this a five star dive bar? You decide.Before diving into the negatives of why this location gets a one-star from me, I will say that this is a prime hotspot for people who are looking to get into the regular dive bar scene in the Inland Empire and Claremont area. A lot of regulars from bars in town, including staff at some of these locations, go to this bar. They do have a jukebox that allows you to control the music from your phone, so that is very convenient and fairly affordable. They're also open to the regular late night hour of 2 a.m., so this can be a good after spot if your location closes earlier.I really enjoy dive bars, and I understand that they don't have the same high standards that you get from some of these craft bars that have been opening up all over Southern California and the rest of the country.Like many other dive bars, this location features a restroom that is never clean, a vibe that could be described as surly at best, and absolutely no drink menu.The bathrooms (or bathroom I should say as each gendered one features only one toilet), are unacceptable. One night there was puke all over the mirrors and the back of the toilet. Two weeks later, and the puke was still there.One positive that you get from dive bars is a colorful staff. A place to go where you can just say who cares, I'm here to drink. What you get from Hi Brow however, is a group of people who really don't even want you there in the first place, and don't mind making it known. My personal experience is having the bartenders leave the bar, go to my table, and ask for my ID....several times. There are usually a couple girls working, and each one has done this to verify my age. I respect the law, and I absolutely get it. I even understand that this is my experience every time I go to Hi Brow, despite practically being a regular. What makes the experience go from awkward to mortifying is on a separate night, by someone I have shown my ID to before, being told to leave because there are no underage people allowed at the bar. I understand that sometimes younger patrons can look too young. But there's a reason you ask for ID before assuming. My advice would be to go to this bar if you want to meet locals. Go to this bar if you need somewhere to go and everywhere else is closed. Go to this bar if you just want a true dive, and are looking for some grit. Avoid this bar if you want to be treated with any amount of respect by the bar staff.

I like bars. All kinds of bars -- with food and without, high-end and dives.So how come I live in Claremont, yet I'd never been to the Hi-Brow before?¯\_(ツ)_/¯Well, now I've been. And I'll probably be back . . . but with some qualifications.It's a dive. As divey as they come. Small, dim, pool table, glimpse into the back storeroom. It felt like I was the only nonregular there. One guy said "Hi" to me, and I thought I was about to be hit on; but no, "Hi" was just "Hi." The music was a little too loud for conversation, but fortunately conversation was not what I was there for.The bartendress took my order promptly and professionally.Now here's the thing: My drink was hella CHEAP ($8), hella BIG, and hella STRONG. Only moderately tasty -- the underlying gin was not of the highest quality -- but passable, let's say a B-.Sometimes I want luxury. But sometimes I want a bang for my buck, and that's when I'd go to the Hi-Brow.

Some political views at the bar ,, Beers were alright. Anything else, I need to write to fullfill the size requirement ?

We went there to support a band we love. Good service, great drinks, and serve fresh hot french fries.
