Golden Tee Cocktail Lounge

We were visiting from out of town and ended up here and truly enjoyed this place. All the locals are here and everyone is extremely friendly. The drinks are cheap and strong and it’s a great place to come and meet people.

I love this hole in the wall bar. The prices on drinks are wonderful. They have good music. Pool tables are always fun and entertaining. It’s a great place to go for some fun. I celebrated my 22 birthday there with some friends and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other place. Too much fun.

I went here tonight. I got my drinks and I didn’t know they only take cash, really we are in the 21^st century where they should take credit cards. He said you can get cash out in the atm. I was ready to use the atm and I did t care for the 2.00 fee, before I knew it he said well you can’t pay for your drinks I’m taking your drinks and dumped them. I went to park Hyatt, because I live in Aviara. I just wanted to play pool, reason why I came here, but the bartender acted so ghetto I will not return here. He could have gotten the fattest tip of all his night had he treated me with respect, but because he treated me like the white trash he is. I will never go there or recommend. This place. This place is for the homeless that live under the 78 freeway. I used to go here years ago when the bartender was nice, but because such a high turnover. This asshole doesn’t know how to treat people!!! Go to cantina, they take credit cards!!! Asshole!!!

I’ve been coming here since I was legally able to. Many things have changed, but it still feels like home. If u want an olé timey feeling come early, want crazy come in the evening. Staff is rockin and drinks are strong!

An awesome, no frills dive bar. The drinks are cheap and strong. What else are you looking for? Pool tables, check. Foosball, check. Jukebox, check. If I could give six stars, I would.
Highly recommended!

This place is kind of a dive bar, but if you’re looking to drink for cheap, then this is the place for you. Went there on a Sunday afternoon and seems like it has its locals that visit all the time because everyone one there knew each other, lol. So it can be a homey atmosphere if you were to get to know them.

Drinks. That’s is all. Its a dive and a half. If you want a stiff drink, go. If you’re looking for night life on a Friday night maybe re-​consider.

This place is a complete dump and the music isn’t even loud. The only good thing about it is Scotty the bartender, other than that it’s a complete waste of time. Barely any chicks come in just a bunch of old timers. Might as well go to The Alley

Great dive bar. Some buddies and I walked in one Friday after a long day at work still in uniform and we quickly had 8 free rounds a piece laid before us. Challenge accepted! And, they called us a cab afterward. What a great local watering hole!

I give 3 stars for the pool & foose ball tables. Small bar, not a great crowd but we did go on a Wednesday. Bartenders were ok but made strong drinks. Just meh, cool if you want to play pool.

Inexpensive drinks and colorful locals. I have been here several times and the staff is generally terrific. There is one male bartender who is aggressive and is more interested in getting drunk then getting you a drink. I walk out if I see him working.

Every time we go out we end up here! Very unassuming place. Drinks are strong. Bartenders are always friendly. Pool tables, Foosball, and their namesake video game. Music is loud, the way it should be! Best place ever! CASH ONLY!

Yes I found another hidden gem, and yes it is a dive bar and you wouldnt expect to have a great time by the looks of the outside of this place. Its tucked right behind 711 and its looks unpleasant from the outside but as soon as you walk in, you know that you dont want to leave this fantastic bar!
I went on a Saturday night (poppin!) and their was only one bartender for the night, and he was quick/​friendly and funny and most bars the bartender cant keep a positive attitude or a humorous vibe but the guy that was behind that bar was awesome!
They play extremely loud music in there and they have 2 pool tables along with a foosball table:)
Drinks are cheap and strong and the pours for shots is very generous! I like to people watch and the people that were there at the bar this night range from skater/​business/​locals and your all dream team middle class kids haha. I would come back for sure, definitely better service than G Spot. The only thing they dont have is food, but hey… we all come out to drink!

The drinks are strong and cheap. The bartenders are fast and friendly. And there’s cool vibe without all the IPA hipsters looking for a place with a hundred taps (as if you’d go in and drink them all). I’ll take a good jack and coke, a game of pool, and quality music any day… err, night.
Also there’s a pretty good taco shop next door and you can bring your food in if you want.

As dive bars go, this is one.
Old people at the bar. Two pool tables — I wouldn’t know which end of the stick to use, unless I were bashing heads. Bright lights in the pool room. New Belgium Ranger on tap, one star for that. Tiny little bathroom.
I can’t really see the appeal; I’d rather go to Pizza Port or its bottle shop.

Love this dive bar. Great place to grab some beer with friends, cozy, wooden table and booths, friendly bartender, love that they have a foosball table.
If your near Carlsbad Village and aren;t feeling going to Hennesseys or Boars Head… go to the Golden Tee. Super chill vibe!

So, this is basically my favorite Dive bar in the area-​ish where I live.
Not as much violence as Smitty’s in Vista (say what you want, but there is a gnarly fight everytime I’m there)
Its a good size, good drinks, and its always been the same bartender everytime I’m there. Its one of my friends «cheers» bars. She is always there, and she knows everyone.
I’m the socially awkward girl that sometimes is with her, but anyways… the booths here are awesome and fit like 6 people. Its a nice change from typical barstool type tables.

The ‘Tee has become our new favorite spot since moving off of C’bad Village a few months back. I’d been here once or twice over the years but its really grown on me as of late. I like to stop in after kereoke, though I’m happy just chilling here the whole night. I tend to feel a bit entrapped by the police closer to hwy 101, and the Tee is quite close to the freeway for those quick escapes.
The place looks kinda dated but it has a weird school cafeteria-​like charm that seems to comfort me on some deep and primordial level. There’s an indescribable factor in bar ambiance that can rather quickly make me feel very uncomfortable, but I’ve never experienced it here. Perhaps its the lighting, not as dark and gloomy as, say, Saloon. Tends to attract a generally mixed age crowd of locals. Plenty of seating available along the bar, with several comfortable deep cushioned booths along the one side — but also plenty of standing room when I’m feeling too ancy to sit. Not big on pool myself, but there are 2 or 3 tables if that’s your thing (make sure to signup on waitlist, people always seems to be bickering over whose turn it is). Other amenities include the always occupied foosball, jukebox, several TV’s, video poker, and occasional milf-​gazing. Plenty of lot parking right out front.
Drinks are cheap for the area, your standard booze offerings and a minimal yet sufficient selection of tap or bottled beers. The well bourbon is not too bad. Mens restroom can be a little grim, but I’ve certainly seen much much worse — who craps at a bar anyways??? I’ve never seen it super busy, so I’ve never had a problem getting a drink right away. Bartenders have been friendly from the get-​go for me, so if you’re getting ignored you’re probably doing something wrong. Their bar-​back gal is also very kind and efficient.
Free ATM for citibank/​credit unions in the ⁷⁄₁₁ next door.

I haven’t been in here in forever because of some ingrained stigma and ended up having an awesome time. The crowd was great and there was good music playing all night long. We had a great bartender that was always around even though it was pretty busy. I’ll definitely be stopping by again soon.
One thing to note: I’m not sure about the spots directly in front of the bar, but a lot of the parking lot is 2 hour parking only; if you need to leave your car over night you might want to park on a side street.

Strong, cheap drinks, clean bathrooms, nice bartenders, jukebox, and no fancy pretentious BS. That’s an all around win for me.
I don’t play pool, but if you like that kinda thing there are a couple of pool tables. I prefer to park it at the bar or one of the booths. Those booths are comfortable!
Everyone I’ve met here has been really nice, and it’s always a good, relaxing time.
