The Greatest

Dive bar. Cheap drinks and you CAN pick some good tunes to play. My boyfriend and I come here since its up the street from our house. Not too bad but decent on the right night.

This place will 86 you in a heart beat! That means BANNED for life. This place has gone to the biggest SHIT HOLE in the entire world. Fuck the Manager Too.

If i could i would rate this piece of bar a 0 stars i would. Horrible… Stinks. Bunch of loosers in here… Older people n lots of gangsters come here… Smoking allowed inside… I dont know how they can be open atmosphere is really bad everyone fights here. This is a hook up spot for divorced ppl with skanky nasty ass girls… Never ever will i be back not even if their beer is .50cents i will go to the game bar across the street instead. Dont recommend this to no one.

Decent little dive bar.
Good prices on drinks.
Smoking allowed inside… :)
Nice friendly bartender, as soon as I set down an empty bottle she was on it with another cold one +++++++++…
Juke box sux, after you put in your money and select first song the song is over before you. make a second selection because the touch screen is not very responsive very slowwwwwww… forget trying to enjoy the first three selections.
Even the app for the jukebox crashes.

Tried this bar for the first time with my husband and a friend. As soon as we got there they wanted to start a fight with my husband. I am Latina and the females were looking for fights with me and I didn’t do anything! It was full of Latinos/​Latinas but they are ghetto! Would not recommend this place.

If you enjoy hanging out with gang bangers and ex felons then head over to the Shadiest!

Skip The Falcon and come to the Greatest! Reasonable prices and friendly people and no wannabe’s rent-​a-​cops with security badges up there ass who think The Falcon is a high end establishment

Chill bar but has awful smell of cigarettes. The smell was very unpleasant & i will not be back.

What else is there to be said? It’s a local bar where everyone knows each other and that’s why I love this place. Cheap beers and a decent selection. I can also vape away !

I… FUCKING…LOE THIS BAR!!! That’s all I gotta say! Everything is great! The only down side for some folks is that it is a SMOKING allowed bar and no outside drinks allowed but hey! Bartenders are fucking awesome… Monica, Sandy, «new girl» Rachel and of course Jesse !! Pool. Juke box. Trivia Monday’s (that’s new) but it’s super fun! And folks get into it … Love it!

Friendly people and cheap drinks. Not a regular, but it is one of the greatest places to hangout after a tough day at work.

This place is a super cool dive bar. No thrills … Just cheap drinks and super friendly people. We were instantly welcomed by what seems to be a close knit drinking family that frequents the spot. They played this cool dice drinking game and the jukebox was always playing something good. It was a diverse crowd with different ages, backgrounds… Gays and straights. Everyone seemed super down to earth. I know I will be back. I love a chill dive bar close to home!

It might be smokey, it might be a bit dirty. It might be filled with alcoholics and «shady» individuals but its exactly what it is. A great neighbor hood bars. Never had a problem here and never spent too much money. I love this place

This is your typical local bar. Lots of regulars and cheap drinks. Bartenders are super cool and chill. Pool table and tvs everywhere. If you’re a smoker you’ll be in heaven.

Love this place. Everyone is so friendly. Bartenders are awesome and the drinks are cheap. :)

Love this lil dive bar! Cheap drinks, good music, free hot dogs on kings game nights. The regulars who shoot pool are awesome and friendly. If you don’t like smoke, don’t come here! This is my go to place on Friday nights when I don’t have anything to do the next morning.

This is the worst bar I’ve ever been to. I’m not sure why anyone would want to come here. Definitely a locals thing… I’m from the area and some people I know are regulars. I’m going to assume the only reason why this place has 4 stars is because all the people who rated it with more than 1 star is a regular.
Had an incident once years ago when my bf at the time and I were walking down the street… a group of maybe 5 or 6 big white dudes whistled at me who we’re hanging out in the greatest’s parking lot right outside the front door (mind you I was like 14) and my bf flicked them off. A block down the street they were waiting in some parking lot hiding from us and sucker punched my bf in the back of the head and jumped him. Yup so that was cool.
Flash forward to me at 23 and I end up here one night because my friends who always come here wanted to go. Well let’s just say it was WORSE than what I expected.
First of all… is it even legal to smoke indoors? Lol maybe it’s amazing for smokers but Jesus Christ it’s disgusting in there. Aside from smoking inside in general… the place is small and hot and not ventilated at all. It’s like an oversized garage with low ceilings.
I can’t remember what I drank I think a blue moon… To my memory all the beers are bottled and pretty sure it was cheap.
There’s some younger people… some 30s but most 40+ people who either looked like they grew up in Hawthorne and lived there their entire lives or older divorcees who are trying to hook up… a bunch of older women in revealing frumpy clothing idk it was just awkward. Idk overall this bar just made me depressed and I will never set foot in it again.

Came here before to play some pool before and it was cool to be able to smoke inside.
Came during the day with my girlfriend to shoot pool and they had country music and white folks.
Bartender must have been drunk. Older white lady denied us. Saying that 1991 wasn’t of age and had the whole bar in on it. Are you serious? Do your math. Don’t be drinking on the job. Says 1993 is the year to be able to drink… 1991 comes before 1993 are you stupid?
Left angrily as I have come before with no problem. Not my fault I age well along with my girlfriend. Took our business elsewhere. Go to THE ROCK IT down the street! Friendly bartender :)

This is a proper dive bar. The drinks are poured with a heavy hand and cheap. People are generally pretty cool here, I met some folks randomly and we ended up playing some dice for shots. The bartender (pictured) is friggin hilarious! And yes, you can straight-​up just smoke away in this bar. So don’t come if you’re not ok with that, because people come here to smoke like the good ol’ days, so we don’t need people making faces and acting all offended by the smoke.
I give this place four stars because there are at times locals who get a bit territorial and unfriendly here. But for the most part this is not an issue.

I had a jack and coke for $ 4.50 on a Friday afternoon.
That’s how you do happy hour.
The bartender was nice.
There seemed to be your regulars here. You know the type?
They look unemployed and you wonder how the hell they seem to always have money to spend at any bar?
They have a pool table and a weird assortment of music blasting. Also… people did not give a flying phuck about government regulations as people were smoking inside. It was odd, but funny.
There was a $ 10 minimum on usage of cards, That usually puts me in a funk because I end up drinking more than I’m used to.
I only orderd 2 cheap drinks and closed out my tab.
Luckily, the nice bartender charged me $ 10 and gave me $ 2 back in cash. Who does that!!! That was pretty cool on her part.
Oh and on my way out I got hit on my 2 older women who fit the «you’re a regular, here» category. And although my dreams of an interracial three-​some have not come true, I had to pass at this oportunity,
