T J’s Locker Room

ew gawd.

this place is disgusting. it smells like puke and the chubby bartender with dark hair is a complete bitch if you’re skinnier than her. seriously it sounds ridiculous but she was really nice to bigger people, and she ignored averaged sized people.
the bathrooms are disgusting. walked in and there was puke in the sink… in the sink.
this is the place that the true alcoholics go in placentia.

For some reason, every time I wake up from a night at the Locker Room, my tongue tastes like ashtray (or what I imagine an ashtray to taste like)…and I don’t even smoke!
cheap vodka
cheap ladies
cheap men
cheap drinks
I kinda like it and yet, I don’t quite remember every detail. I know there’s pool table, a janky lil bathroom, a cool bartender and a few regulars (some I get embarrassed to recognized because. hello, what does that say about me?)
It’s a dive bar. and it’s not too meat-​marketie where you need to worry what you’re wearing how perfect your hair looks.etc. Trust me when I say no matter how bad you might think you look, there is someone here that will out ugly you, I can promise you that…
Good times… expect a hangover as well as the possibility of waking up with some strange guy’s phone number in your pocket and the only thing you can make out in the drunken letters is ‘jail guy’.
I won’t be calling him. but I bet he’s just dyin’ to ‘conjugate’. Won’t be with this chick… though I bet somewhere during the evening I lead him to believe that he could. Ugh I’m never drinking again! (lies, all lies… yes I will)

I’ve been here a few times and all my experiences were somehow unpleasant, which actually owes nothing to the establishment itself. It’s one of those places you always see someone you don’t want to, but for some reason you keep going back expecting it to be different this time around.
I recommend going Thursday night for some karaōke, or one of the most fun times I’ve had there, in the afternoon/​evening for some free chex mix and fun conversation with the bartender.
If you’re from the area and don’t mind bumping into old acquaintances, check it out, everyone seems to know each other there and tend to be welcoming to new faces.
