Ringer’s Cocktail Lounge

Love this bar. Divey but clean and e wry one is very friendly. Good prices. Anyone with anything negative to say is crazy… I come here every time I get a tattoo at American tattoo across the street and that’s a lot ;)

I love this bar! It’s clean and the drinks are generous and reasonably priced. Nice covered porch/​patio outside that smokers can use. All the bartenders and staff are friendly and fun, as well as provide quick and efficient service. The live bands on Friday and Saturday night are usually good and feature classic rock or more hard driving rock. Fun to dance to. It’s also a very popular Sunday afternoon destination for bikers who go there for the Sunday complimentary hamburgers, hotdogs and potato salad. You cook them on a big gas grill on the front patio. It’s a good place to stop by after a ride and get a couple of beers and cook yourself a burger. Patrons are affable and friendly and everyone has a good time. Don’t have to worry about fights, etc., and a great place to meet people and make new friends in all age ranges too!

This is a great Bar. Friendly people, great bartenders who deliver amazing service. all around fun time Locals are all very nice people who welcome you with a smile and great conversation. I will revisit soon.

One of the best dives! They either have a great band or be prepared to go up & sing to a forgiving crowd. The bartenders here are all great people. Much love to Joanne, Sean, Caz & Brek!!! Drinks are strong & fair priced. Nice mixture of all walks of life. Come in your work clothes or Vegas attire you will fit right in.

Having a bad night, stopped into my local bar, Ringers, was greeted with amazing servce, a stiff drink and a private table, what more could I ask for :) AWESOME!!!

I was introduced to Ringers on Saturday 11/​22/​2014. I loved the place! Friendly people, awesome music, and reasonable drinks!

A charming little dive bar… Locals are many and friendly. Live music on weekends, although I’m not sure what caliber we’re talking about. …The resident motorcycle club is actually very approachable and good natured. The main reason I went back a second time is that I’m 42 years old and the crowd ranges from way young (21) to the older (70) distinguished crowd… I’ll definitely go back.

Exceeded my expectations…
I finally visited on a warm Sunday afternoon after a long drive. I’m not from the area, so it was the first place that popped up for a cold one. I pulled up to find a line of bikes outside. After taking a deep breath I walked in.
I sat down and was immediately greeted with a smile by Kelly. She poured me a pitcher and went back to her larger party. This is the point (usually), where a bartender will just leave me alone until the pitcher is empty. I expected this because of the large crowd on the other side of the bar (Birthday Party)
However, I have never been more wrong. She came back not too long after to see how I was doing. She also came up with a crafty way to keep my pitcher cold. You will have to see Kelly to find out more. It also turns out that they have a free BBQ for the customers on Sunday. Burgers, dogs, all the fixings were in a clean spread. There is a grill outside for you to cook your own meat. This is combined with the outside smoking area.
A warm (free) hot dog, a VERY cold beer, and a friendly bartender. I ask the Unilocal community, what more can you ask for? Sure it’s not for everyone. But I will say that I was treated much better here as a stranger than other spots that had rave reviews.
Entertainment: There is a Golden Tee game, and an electronic dart board. There is also a stage, but it was empty at the time. I assume there are bands that come or karaōke. I plan to visit again at night and update my review.
BONUS: Someone started passing out pieces of Birthday cake. We were automatically included. While this doesn’t have much to do with the establishment, it does show you that the regulars are friendly. That will teach me to judge a book by it’s cover.

Awesome place. Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders and the prices are very good. Sundays free burgers and dogs that you grill yourself on the patio. A definite must go!!!

Used to be a fun place to go, biker friendly. But no so anymore. Would not reccommend Ringers for any true bikers, if you wear a patch move on and find a different bar. They cater to the locals, which are often times totally drunk fools, so it can cause issues to outsiders. Bikers Avoid this bar!!!

Live music everying weekend, Friday & Saturday. Split sides to the establishment. One side is bar, band and dance floor and other is bar, etc. Good bands. Friendly staff. Good prices. On the small side, but cozy! Had a lot of fun there, love the band in the pictures, BURNING CRABCAKES. They will be playing there again on the 7^th & 8^th!

For a biker, Ringer’s is a good stop or destination since there is a lot of good riding to get there. We usually stop there Sunday afternoons on our way back from Fallbrook, Palomar Mnt, Julian or Santa Ysabel areas.
Right about when the free cook it yourself Sunday lunch of burgers, dogs, and brats is all but crumbs. You make it yourself so it’s always the way you want it. It’s good food and they are kind enough to offer it for free.
By the time we get there, the staff is pretty beat from the day but are attentive and always at the least, cordial.
We will continue to stop here and get a few road sodas and pick at the crumbs before our trek home.

Came in for a few drinks with a friend, got a couple beers and was introduced to a «Fireball». A Fireball is a shot that tastes and smells just like Goldschlager except it doesn’t have the gold specks and it might be a bit stronger. Definitely give it a try if you haven’t.
Moderate yourself, kids!

Don’t bother going in the morning. Unfriendly bartender, full of locals. Not very welcoming vibe…

First time going there with my Good friend Megan, both of us are newly 21 and had just stopped by to get a drink or a Few LOL. since its a mile away from her house… Megan then proceeded to get our drinks bought by some real nice regulars and we had a great time talking with all of them. Fun Crowd ^_​^ Definitely coming back sometime!

It’s a biker bar. Selection of beer is ok. Great grill it yourself FREE BBQ on Sundays. Our advice — sit on the ‘non-​locals’ side, which is larger and watch the ‘locals’ — it is great entertainment. We’ve been going there for 3 years, usually Sunday afternoon after riding in the back country.
Although were ‘locals’ we are not ‘sheeple’ so we sit on the other side and watch the show.
Joanne and Sean are friendly & attentive regardless of which side you sit on.

After dinner out and ready to go home. it’s fun to stop by Ringers and have a drink and dance a little. Bands are usually pretty good, the usual crowd is an interesting mix (country meets bikers mixing with suburbanites) and usually harmless, but it’s 5 minutes from the house and if we had to we could crawl home. I am glad we have something like this so close to home! It’s better than it looks!

Now, if you grew up in Fallbrook and are looking for a high school reunion with, let’s face it… those people you never really wanted to see again, then Ringers is the place. Honestly, I forgot how «Bro-​Saturated» this area truly is. And yes, a fight did in fact almost break out in the middle of the bar.
But, it’s Thanksgiving, so I just shrug it off as Fallbrook and decide to walk up to the bar and order a drink. However, they only have two beers on draft, one was Sierra Nevada and the other was Budweiser. Both ick. So I ask the bartender what they have in bottle form, because it’s so dark in there that I can’t read it myself. She responds with, «Oh, we have everything, Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light…» And then she stops. How is that a stopping point??? That is not everything, I’m sorry, but that is piss water.
Now, I remember the belief when I was younger (say teenager) that you could play Sublime on the jukebox and most everyone would be happy. Well, that was almost ten years ago… I don’t think it still applies. The jukebox was on Sublime repeat, and whenever one of their songs came on, most the entire bar would start singing??? Stuck in 1998 much? I longed for Van Morrison even…
At one point the bartender yelled at the person next to me, because we had both been waiting 20+ minutes for our beers, and he pointed to her, after she’d served him, that I had been waiting longer than he had. She responded with, «So you’re telling me who I should be serving now!?!» — and not in that fun New Yorker sort of way… in that, I’m only buying one beer and paying cash, so there goes your tip lady way.
I will give this place more than one star simply because it’s all that Bonsall has. So, props to that… but I think I preferred this place when I was a kid and would just walk by all the bikers sitting outside smoking and bbq’ing while on my way to buy a candy bar at the local liquor store.
