Court's Lounge

I started going to Courts back in the old late 1900's while I was a waitress at the Chevy's that used to be across the street from the Saratoga Bowling Lanes. You know, back when we used to walk to school, uphill, both ways, in the snow... A lot has changed in the area, but at least Courts is still here! We would go in our uniforms, with black bean, and pinto bean, stains on our oatmeal colored Chevy's shirts, and we never felt out of place. At that time they didn't have that extra space where all the dartboards are. It was small and divey, and we loved it. And 24 years later I still love to go to Courts on occasion.Is it kind of divey? Yep! But, not as much as it used to be. Is there the occasional odd character or two (or three or four) there? Yep! The occasional rowdy, drunk idiot? Yep! The drunk who you can count on being there almost every time you go? Yep! That's all part of the charm of this place. It's a mixed crowd of people where you don't have to worry about how well styled your purposely messy hair looks, how hip your outfit is, etc. Heck, I wore my slippers there one New Years, and not one person batted an eye. Hey! But, you also get other walks of life there too so, the crowd varies. And it's usually pretty fun no matter what type of person is there. I usually go when Meghan and/or Josh are working. They are both great, and make going in for a drink fun. I have also gone there solo to grab a drink after work, and I have never felt unsafe there. There is one of two people who appear to be living in the parking lot, but they are friendly. I have seen fights there, but I have seen fights at plenty of other bars too. So, I think that's just something you deal with on occasion when you go to a bar.If you aren't too bougie, you like an affordable, stiff drink, and bartenders that make you feel welcome, and make you laugh then definitely check this bar out.

Bad, sketchy.The service is pretty bad, the crowd that hangs out here are super sketchy, drugs being used outside and I am pretty sure a couple drug deals went down in the hour I was there. It's very dirty as well, bar tender was drunk as well.Don't go here.

Great pool tables, awful service, people live in the parking lot and a lot of drug abuse.

Great lounge! Roomy, outdoors and fun! Doesn't look like much from the street view but go inside and check it out! Huge and spacious! Til the next one!

This is the nastiest skeeziest "dive bar" I have ever been to. First impression the building is a dump, parking is a nightmare, and there is a junk swap meet next door. There was also the charming homeless man living in his car in the parking lot smoking marijuana with his pants undone. Because of Covid and and "remodeling" the building tents and tables are set up outside. There was about 25 people there, none of whom were masked or socially distant.I paid $5 for a bottle of Heineken and sat at a table with my friend. A drunk and belligerent man -Robert the bar manager- proceeded to yell at my friend to "get the f**k outta my seat!" I've never seen such disgusting and unprofessional behavior in my life. I gave him some serious stink eye and poured my beer on his seat and left. I don't think I'll be coming back to this particular skeezy bar.

I came here while visiting my parents over the holidays. It is a nice bar that borders Cambrian, San Jose and Campbell. There is a DJ on weekends and the prices for drinks are perfect. The shots are incredibly poured generously. I met some good people here and there is lots of activities to do besides drink like pool and lotto machines. Overall, I will come here every year when visiting my parents. There is a variety of cocktails and beers on tap to please anyone.

I recently came here about 2-3 months ago with some friends for some late night drinks. This place was soooo fun!! Very low key around the time we went ( 12:30/1) which was nice because we got to play multiple games of dart! They also have a little snack bar which I thought was neat & some pool tables. I really want to come back sometime soon, I had a great time here!

Aside from that mamone barback the place is chill. Resident bartenders are on point....

Great spot for drinks!!!!Can I suggest to have only service "certified" dogs be allowed to enter if they are in leash to avoid dogs roaming pissing in barrels!

Won't ever be coming here again. Blonde Bartender is EXTREMELY rude. I asked if she can heat up my drink and she got mad that I didn't tip her for it.. I wasn't done here at the bar so obviously my tip will be included before I leave. She then said "if you want good service you tip" lady I wasn't done! LOL this is my second time here and second time she's given me attitude and wants to argue. Talks over you when you try to explain yourself and is very dismissive, unprofessional. Bar owner needs to do something.
