Great neighborhood bar with awesome live music. A great place to sit and relax with more than reasonable prices.

Cheap & friendly. Fred and his Hawaiian shirts rule! The joint’s got character. And hot dogs!

Very small, cash only bar, BUT, they have great live music here, definitely check it out if you want to hear some great musicians. They also have an open jam Monday nights! Not the biggest menu, it’s typical bar food, but I have to say, their burgers are really good!

I came here on a Monday night for their open mic to network and scout some talent for some local shows. I couldn’t believe how many people where there against just one bartender! Scott was a great server though. Quick, friendly, and talkative. We ordered wings, two cheeseburgers, fries(all of which Scott cooked while serving alcohol), three blue moons, and three Guinnesses, and the bill came out to just $ 29. The burgers and wings were excellent. People there were friendly as well. Made you feel very welcome. We were the youngest people there, except for this thirteen year old kid who was playing bass(excellently I must add). Age ranges from mid-thirties to late fifties. The open mic left much to be desired, as the house band was a little greedy with their time(playing two funk songs for twenty minutes and then giving other guys two three-minute songs with no time to introduce themselves? C’mon now). That, and whenever another band came on, they’d have the same people in it as the previous band as guest musicians. But that’s to be expected at most places. I’d go again for the cheap prices. Not so sure about the open mic.

The Facts: Was meeting a friend in the area. Tried ReBar, but it was closed. This was the closest, best thing according to Unilocal. On the outside: it’s a standalone structure, kind of looks like a house(and sketchy, too). On the inside: a neighborhood dive with regulars, two tv’s, a chalkboard of the bar menu, a digital jukebox, some bar games, and an ATM for those who fail to know that it’s cash only(guilty). Honestly, not much to say about this place. Chicken fingers, fries, and bar pie are all frozen and cooked/heated up to order — they were all okay/good and really, really cheap. Bartender wasn’t a bad guy, but he definitely is not the friendly type. We were there a few hours, but were rushed to close out our handwritten tab because he was leaving and he wanted to close out our check. We all know the right thing to do here was to let us know he was leaving, wish us a good night, and that the new guy was going to take care of us. But, he didn’t. So, we left. I’ve been to lots of neighborhood dives, and I was expecting a friendlier, homier, more welcoming atmosphere. Gotta remember the whole«no expectations, no disappoints» thing, I keep forgetting! I am pretty sure I won’t be coming back here.

Welcome Home! This is a great little spot. Regulars are friendly and they all must do comedy on the side because the jabs and quick wit is amazing with these folks. Always a good time. They show all the games– great crowd for Sunday football. Food is really goo pub grub, drinks are a good pour and flow easilly. It’s not a big place but once you’ve been there a few times, you will feel like a regular. Darts, golf, slide bowling, great jukebox and a fun atmosphere all close to home. Don’t let the outside fool ya– this is one to check out. Funny, but during the weeknights seems even more crowded than the weekends — maybe its just the summer, but whenever I’ve gone, its been a good time

This is a classic dive bar. Draft beers, bar pies, dudes in their 50’s drinking no matter what time of day. I had a bar pie. It was tasty — but there is only one toaster so they can only make one pie at a time. At $ 6.50 it was definitely worth the money. Definitely a decent find.

I’ve passed this place about a million times but never entered. I heard countless stories about town drunks hanging out there and it wasn’t my thing.(many years ago) Well a friend was singing open mic on Monday night and you know I was very apprehensive about entering this establishment as it appears to be a very tiny home from the outside… possibly too much closeness? Well I walked in and was quite surprised. I felt at home immediately. A cheers type atmosphere. It is small, don’t get me wrong but it is friendly. My first delight was that it was clean and didn’t feel«old» like many of the local pubs. the Bar itself looks like it was either replaced or redone recently. The bartender was warm and friendly. He also took food orders… the normal fare. bar pie, burgers, hot dogs, fries, chicken fingers, salad. The food wasn’t amazing by any means but a nice portion, reasonable and well just something to throw down that Stella with which was icy cold on tap. Monday is open mic night, I believe they have karaōke night, It’s small so it fills up quickly but I will definitely revisit this nice little pub and maybe they’ll know my name soon :)

Place is a Dump On The Outside But Nice In Good Pours Cool Bartenders Open Late Dive bar with character and shuffleboard bowling, digital juke box and good cheap food. Gets crowded late evenings, bartenders go here for a drink after their bar closes. You can get drunk here cheap!

One of the skills you either possess or acquire when becoming an Elite Unilocaler is recognizing superior writing skills. I’m not saying that I have superior writing skills, but I definitely can recognize them. Erik A., you said it all. There’s no need for me to write a review about this place. You covered absolutely everything. It’s a rare feat really. Whenever I come across a review that encapsulates everything about a business I immediately send a friend request to the reviewer. I’ve only come across a handful of reviewers that have major talent. And I shall name a few below: Kai L.(Los Angeles) Anna M.(Los Angeles) Raphael C.(Los Angeles) Dan H.(Orange County) Marwin A.(San Diego) Hilltop is to divey like Cinnabon is to ultra fattening. The bar looks like a house whose owner refused to sell to commercial developers. There’s a decent amount of parking and if you decide to carb up before you drink, Turtle’s Pizza is a few paces down the street. Kudos to you Erik A. You totally nailed it. Friend request sent…

If you have trouble finding this place just follow the lit up nose on the reindeer affixed to the roof of the bar(which can easily be mistaken for a rundown house). Inside you will find pure magic in the form of PBR cans, a mix of surly and jovial regulars, ecclectic jukebox, crinkle cut fries, golden tee, summer bbq style burgers(cooked by the bartender) served on styrofoam plates, darts and most importantly shuffleboard bowling. I pass by this place on my way home from work and never know what to expect, the parking lot goes from having only a few pickup trucks and american made cars(as per union guidelines) to being packed full and sometimes even has an unexpected limo right out front(close to the door for a quick escape). Inside the crowd(or sometimes lack of) is as varied as the parking lot scene. If run down local bar is what you’re looking for then just follow the reindeer nose.
