G Street Pub

Avoid this place on crowded nights where bouncers wait outside the door. I invited my friend out to Davis (his first time) and we came here first. The bouncer gave him a hard time about his ID since he had longer hair in the ID and now had short hair. The bouncer decided it was his duty to confiscate the ID, even though my friend offered to show them other forms of ID to prove that it was him. We had to dial the police just so we could get his ID back because they were refusing to let him have it (he had to drive home and needed a license).
Eh… there are much better bars out there. I recommend checking out another place if you can.

While I understand this is a dive bar, I don’t think it would hurt to shut down for a few days and bleach this place down.
That said this is one of the few places in Davis where you can drink too much for cheap, make out with your best friend, lose your shoes and pee your pants and then go back the next day and not be judged.
It’s been about three years since I’ve been here… but times were good when I did go there.
Nothing beats going up to a bartender and dropping a bunch of random change on the bar and asking what this will get me, and without counting he begins to pour a pitcher of pabst.

Probably ideal for people who like the «music scene.» The pool tables are good — its better than going to campus just to hangout. I mean, who wants to hangout in the basement of the MU on Friday?
Anyway, G Street is good. Its probably also the cheapest way to get drunk as I remember them having all the cheap beers (PBR, Coors Lite, etc).

Ok, so I know the floors are sticky, the bathrooms smell like puke, and it gets rather musty in here… BUT I have had some of the best nights of college here.
I first came here on my 21^st birthday which happened to fall on a Sunday night during spring break so NOBODY was there except for the regulars and old-​timers. The night, I met Ben the bartender who is super nice and gave me a couple free shots of gentlemen’s jack ;) Regardless of the place being almost empty, I had a great time!
The drinks are always cheap, but beware they will not make girly drinks like cosmos…
Funk night was my absolute favorite and sometimes they would even step up the stripper pole for all the floozzies to grind up against and then fall over piss drunk. Karaōke was on Tuesdays and Thursdays and it was entertaining as hell to watch!
When DJ Charlie was there, he would play my requests and was genuinely a really nice guy. On the other hand, I have heard bad stories about 7 ft tall bouncer with tons of tats and piercings, but I personally have never had any trouble with him.
Bottom line: it’s a true-​blue DIVE bar with charm that grows on you and nice staff

This place has a sticky dance floor and a 15 dollar minimum credit card charge for drinks (I think? I’m not sure, I cannot remember really). Few times that I came here and saw a bunch of psychedelic dancers which was a scene to see. Other than that this place is pretty chill with a good amount of seats to sit in and with an attached billiards room. BTW the bathrooms are gross and is shared with Jusco’s.

It was my first time to visit this place last night with my fiancé to celebrate our engagement. The Brodys were playing on stage! I’ve been to other dive bars but this one was totally crowded up to capacity. Once you stepped out, you might not be able to step back in that easily. It was that full. We got lucky and got in after stepping out to eat dinner at a place next door. You wouldn’t want to talk your way in. The door bouncer looked real mean and tough. LOL
Don’t expect to have chairs to sit on because there were none that were free. In fact, only a very few of them were there. We were standing all night. Tables were scattered and mostly used by everybody who randomly pass by and put their empty bottles or glasses on top.
Just like any dive bar, there was a pool table area and was separated from the band area. With all the patrons walking around carrying their beers, floor spills were expected which made the floor sticky. Who knows what else got spilled on the floor?
We were disappointed that they ran out of their Murphys Irish Stout. That was bad! So we ended up getting a pitcher of Anchor Steam and a pitcher of Stella Artois. They were okay. Long line at the bar but the crowd wasn’t that rowdy.
According to last night’s show, they will be closing down this place for around two months for renovation. Hopefully, they will construct a better and bigger place. I’m curious to see the outcome. So yeah, I’d come back even though this place is quite a drive from home.

The floors are sticky, the bathrooms are gross, sometimes it has an odd smell and the drinks are sometimes more expensive than other places! It’s a dive bar, you’re supposed to be cheap! So why do I like this place so much?! It has a gross charm over me I guess.
I like karaōke nights! So many times I got booed singing Taylor Swift songs! I found out it helps a lot if you’re singing with a birthday girl!

finally i found a decent cider in downtown davis! Woodstocks let me down by 86’n Wyders for that crap Foxbarrel ginger pear nastiness so there i went without… until i discovered G st has this refreshing beverage called Woodchuck. the earth moved and the angels wept as i continued to down pint after pint and secure my place as winner of most inebriated
*fyi… $ 15 minimum to use credit card; cover charge for special events like a local band playing. yeah i smirked too…

This place is by no means a dive, it has the ambiance of one though that’s for sure. The drinks can be cheap enough on their promotional nights and I’ve had a good time dancing with my friends here enough. I miss the bars from home though. This is probably my favorite place to drink in Davis so far though. I will be a regular in no time.

I like this place. I always find myself here for a quick shot or shooter while nursing a beer at Woodstocks across the street. Of if i want to make a fool and sing like there’s no tomorrow on Tuesdays.
I get it. Dive bars aren’t meant for everyone. If you feel uncomfortable here then just don’t come back. The bar, staff and floors won’t take it personally. I, myself, am a huge fan of dive bars. This isn’t even that seedy. It’s got a divey feel due to the decour. But it is filled with co-​eds and 20-​somethings.
True dive bars have the following:
–cash only
–at least a quarter of the bar must be filled with regulars over 40
–top shelf means Jack
–no windows
Enjoy the cheap pitchers of PBR and grape bombs.

I can’t stand this place. I get that G Street is meant to be a dive bar, and by no means am I trying to judge this place as a lounge-​y space that plays obnoxiously ambiguous techno music with overpriced drinks. But even with that expectation thrown to the wolves, this place still sucks.
The floors are so sticky that you assume they just had a really bad spill. I’ve been to G-​Street 5−10x already, and I assure you. .. that shit is permanent. The bartenders, doormen, and patrons are always hasty d-​bags who think I’m using a fake ID, test me for days, and then reluctantly make me a drank or let me in. REALLY? If I were trying to sneak into some place, please believe it’s not going to be your establishment.
One extra star solely for the $ 6 PBR pitchers. Otherwise, I got nothing.
G Street is like that forty-​year old, balding asshole who works at Circuit City and still lives at home with his mom, is a cranky bitch because he hasn’t gotten laid for possibly a decade, and whose band has yet to take off. .. but will, once he gets off his tubby ass from playing WoW (or what is it now, Modern Warfare?) all day long.
Yeah. Wait ’til you hear what I really think about this place.

I’ve never been to a bar with such sticky floors before! We were seriously afraid we were going to lose our shoes to the damn floor!
This place was the only crackin spot in Davis on a Wednesday night so we hopped in with no cover charge. I don’t usually go to dive bars so it was a new experience for me. only problem was that it wasn’t our type of crowd so we left. Passed by the bar and saw some pretty good drink specials. Passed by the bathrooms and saw a girl puking on herself. Not classy.

Davis’s dive bar. It smells weird in there… I don’t really know what it is and don’t really know how to describe it, but when you smell it, you know what I’m talking about.
It’s a pretty good place to chill and hang, but the (bad) music is WAY WAY loud so you cant hear anything.
What I hate MOST about this place? Douchey bartenders. Esp that bald headed one. Always super rude to me, iunno maybe its just me. Also, this place charges a whopping ELEVEN DOLLARS for an AMF, Um… EXCUSE ME? oh and $ 15 minimum to use my card? Thanks for letting me know AFTER you grab my card from my hand. Thank you douchey bartender.
Ladies bathroom is kinda scary too. Two stalls but the door is huge and loud… feels like Im slamming the door of a prison cell.
I try to avoid this place as much as possible, but a few of my friends like this place, so i go when they insist.

Run of the mill divy bar/​venue/​pool hall.
Drinks were drinks, and theirs were par. Nothing special, but their food is what killed it for me.
First the food:
My girl got a personal pizza and I got the firsh and chips. The pizza was ‚“lunchables pizza crust” with unflavored tomato paste and some cheese and tomato piled on top, not a good start. The fish from the fish and chips was tasty with a nice crispy tempura like batter engulfing the fish, but the fries were too salty for my taste. The F&C came with hush puppies but I passed ‘em to my girl so that she wouldn’t starve.
Just because serving shitty food increases the divy-​ness of your bar doesn’t mean you should do it.

Look at the reviews below. The low star reviews seem like they are from people who must have expected this place to be like any other bar in Davis. Did you think this place was going to be a Baskin Robbins on the inside?
Look, this place is a dive bar.
It advertises itself as a dive bar. It walks like a dive bar, smells like one, and acts like one. It gets 5 stars from me, because I expected a dive bar, and it met my expectations. and I love it. This place has darts and $ 6 pitchers of PBR, and that’s all I really need sometimes.

Not bad, but when I set foot in this place I feel like it’s the type of place to grab a beer and just chill at the tables with your homies.
The restrooms are REALLY creepy. the doors are made of heavy metal or something.
I would come here again if friends suggested it, not my # 1 choice but the vibe is very low-​key and relaxing.
Pitcher of beer runs at $ 8

G st is a place where I think everyone is accepted until you get too drunk or too much of a douche and then youll get kicked out. But I like the way it doesnt matter what I wear when I go there, and I never feel out of place.
We went there with a pretty big crowd the other night for a friends birthday, she got a free shot of something and the bartenders were very nice! There are 4 pool tables, live bands, karaōke, cheap beer, drink specials, no cover, a smoking patio, photo hunt and darts. (Pool tables are nice but cost $ 1.25, you could play darts for free if you keep your own score.)
The bad thing is the bathroom, its usually a mess on the weekends, wet with nasty towels on the floor. This is probably because its small and there are only two stalls with a shit ton of girls getting really wasted and having to pee (the downside to cheap beer). the stall doors are also really loud. but they are usually well stocked with at least toliet paper and lets face it, i have been to way shittier bathrooms at dive bars. just watch out for puking drunk girls.
If you go there in the day after a night where a there was a big crowd, it will probably smell like piss because of the absorption of spilled beer on the wood floors. and will be sticky as all hell.
over all this is my favorite bar in davis.

Come here at night and get a cheap pitcher of beer!
I think it might have been $ 6 for a pitcher and that serves about 4 people.
That’s a winner right there.
I’ve only been here past 10:00PM so anytime before that, I don’t know what goes on here.
In my experience, this is where many actual Davis residents go (as opposed to temporary Davis students).
They’ve got pool tables and karaōke on Mondays, I believe. Cool place to chill sit and drink. However, it might be kinda loud and the floors are sticky.
This is the opposite of a place to take a date, but definitely a place to get crunk with your buddies.
Not the worst place to come, but a choice on a list of bars. A-​OK!

This is Racist capitol of the town. All the racist rednecks gather here. Even the manager is a prick.
The people there are a bit on the rough end of the meter.

G Street was the place that in High school all of our older friends went to, it’s a little dive bar type but with more flair. I realize now that its because its got loud music so you don’t have to talk to anyone as well as pool tables and darts. I will admit that I did not stay long, not my scene. But on both of the two nights I went out with my friends from high school, we started here. I’m not sure if drinks were cheap (I did not personally purchase any here because i was driving and you don’t mess around with that in Davis!) but must have been my friend was getting a lot at once!
But I mean they did have live band Karaōke which was painful but looked like it would have been fun had I been plastered and gone up to sing Sweet Home Alabama.
The next night they had a DJ, who would let people pick what ever song their little hearts desired, including the 8 minute long Free Bird, which I love free bird but I was about to pass out from the heat and smelly people. But the girls trying to dance were funny and entertaining although I felt rather odd that they were dancing on the stage facing the people because it was like they were dancing for us, not them… humm… well that’s Davis I guess.
OOOh and one more thing, $.50 that’s right 50 cents off on beer is not a happy hour, that’s a bad coupon! And I love coupons!!!
