Battered Beaver

Bartender, Jeanice Crea, was awesome. Not only makes a great Manhattan, she is smart, witty, well travelled and has so much to offer a conversation. Thanks for the nice time Jeanice.

This place is truly amazing. Great vibe, great people, great prices. I will definitely be back.

This place was awful. I’m 29 and just moved here and had friends in town, so we went here to grab a drink. I took a photo of the unique logo outside the glass window (a beaten up beaver very classy) to «check in» on Facebook. When we walked in, the bartender and regular drunks sitting at the bar (it was 8:30pm, pretty early) all looked pissed off clearly that I took a picture of their precious logo of a beaten up beaver (the whole purpose of unique logos is advertising and getting attention by the way) and proceeded to stare us down intensely and make comments. We all just smiled and sat down trying to ignore it. Then the trashy haggard looking bartender refused to come serve or acknowledge us, and laughed blatantly about it with the other idiots. She even walked right in front of us for no reason, then walked back to the other end and was cracking up. We stayed 15 minutes waiting, staring at the run down interior, including a stripper pole. We finally just left, with them laughing their unclassy asses off proud of their accomplishment of their lives. Good job stupid, that’s probably $ 100 in revenue lost for the owner, plus I’m an ex server, and tip very well. It was a horrifying experience and that bartender is an embarrassment to all employees. This place is known for a super young trashy crowd, constant bar fights, and flat out trouble. The name alone says it all. You couldn’t pay me to go back there.

The Beav is alot of fun. alot of locals come out. mainly thursday nights which is ladys nigh. gets poopin like a saturday night would normally be. drinks are buy one get 1 free on anything. great deal, go there all the time used to go every week… more like a club then a bar depending what night you go… Mel is a awesome bartender

I will never go to this place again. The bathrooms are very dirty music is way to loud, guys go pee behind the dumpsters out back which is tacky and stinky but that’s not the worst thing about this place. Last night me and my friends were out back having a smoke when some guy started to punch a girl in her face while she sat on a bench, WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT??? Apparently they let their guests treat women like their name Battered Beavers. Avoid this place at all costs.

This bar is dirty. It is always humid inside from the amount of people. The staff is less than impressive and the drinks are poor quality. I would recommend H-​B Saloon over this bar.

This place is a shit hole it has a very unsavory crowd lots of tweakers hang out there, there are a ton of fights and stabbings it’s just not a good place

I love the beav because the DJ always plays we found love when I request it and that is my jam! Dead.

So I was stranded in Oakdale when my car broke down. I was stuck there for 4 days, but it gave me solace that the bartender at Battered Beaver kept my spirits up. Kacey was just too great. The regulars there are also great people to interact with. I never imagined this half Japanese guy to get along with such a cowboy town. I have to say, everyone here is awesome.

My cousin and I planned on coming here because we wanted a dive bar and the name was perfect… We were underwhelmed when we actually arrived. It wasn’t really a dive bar. It was a bar, with many an odd guy. The DJ had his mic up so loud my eardrums felt like they were going to burst when he was talking. The «dance floor» was a 4×4 foot area next to a pool table. It just, wasn’t good.

Idk what’s with name. I’ve never seen one battered beaver in here. They have a lot of cool bands here. Fridays you can experience what happens when rap music gets introduced to the cowboy capital
Its pretty wild. They have a random stripper pole there that this one girl just had to stay on all night. Oh an if the bathrooms are busy. There’s a great place to pee out back.

cool place if you have a bullet proof vest on and dont mind a classy stripper pole

Great prices and great bartenders. Huge smoking area. Gets a little rough on weekends, but what small town bar doesn’t?
This is Oakdale, not Sparta, but it’s still MADNESS!

Had to go to this place just because of the silly name!
Nothin’ special, just a little dive bar in a little country town.
Bartender was very nice and personable and the drinks are cheap.
Swing by if your in town… the local patrons are super friendly too.

Not a bad place to hang out with friends. We go there because its in town.
My friends and I go there just about every thursday for ladies night and most weekends again on friday or saturday. HOWEVER, the last time I was there I paid for some drinks and a pitcher with a tip and the bartender got me my drinks but forgot the pitcher. I waited awhile and reminded her of my pitcher, she said «sorry, I forgot.» and then took a few other peoples orders before finishing mine. For the rest of the night whenever I ordered anything it seemed as if I was being ignored ON PURPOSE! Sure enough, later on after she took a drink order from me she said, «If you wanna know why it takes a long time for you to get your drinks its because you don’t tip.’ Which is ridiculous because the vary first order she took from me I gave her a tip and she re-​payed me by forgetting my order and then taking longer to get back to me on purpose.
* Cool local bar
* Bartenders can be very rude
* Very fight prone

Fantastic place. Simple, with good people.

«The Beav» has kick ass bartenders and booty shakin music! The security has got it down so the knuckleheads don’t get out of control. The drinks are cheap and most of the people are really laid back and there to have a good time. (Every bar has an idiot or 2 come through every once in a while)
On that note, I recommend this spot to anyone willing to have a good time with some good peeps! (for a great price… times are tuff people) lol Also if your a smoker like me they have a huge smoking patio out back which is a huge +

Washington apples are the best when made by Linda!

Battered Beaver… Now say it four times fast! Regardless of you’re past experiences or expectations at the bar; tell me that doesn’t bring a smile to your face.
Centrally located for those in transit from the Bay Area to Yosemite or Dodge Ridge, and a great destination for a quick mid evening drink this past Friday. Exterior has seen better days; I would go so far to say it has been properly battered. Interior was surprisingly not as much of a dive as expected; I could see the floor and the bar wasn’t covered in a mysterious film.
Definitely a place where the good ol boys come to hang out, but all were friendly and drinks were cheap during my visit.

I ended up getting talked into going to see a band at this place not too long ago. The band was great, the drinks were good, and I love the atmosphere… but I could have done without the bartender with attitude from hell.
This is a no nonsense bar filled with a mixture of different people. Young, old, pretentious, and the all important «Who gives a shit» people. I found the mix to be comforting. The bathroom arrangements are kind of weird. You actually have to pass through the band and wait in line for the restroom. Kinda felt like you were in «I gotta pee» spotlight. The women take dreadfully long to urinate so I opted for the mens rooms. and to my dismay. NO MIRROR! The horror! But I made due. Also, back smoking patio for my smoker friends.
If are lucky enough you can watch a couple trashed girls get down with the ranchers. sloppily spilling their drinks on the «dance floor» and ooo so gracefully slipping and falling on their own mess. I wasn’t sure if I was more entertained by the band or the beyond wasted bimbos who were clearly over served. (I heart people watching!)
Even though I got a little hammered. watched some girl try to work herself on my man and the bartenders attitude. it was a good night!
