What a gem of a dive bar! You have all different personalities from all different walks of life. Don’t hesitate to go in and hang out a while. Take the good with the bad — but mostly it’s good. We were fortunate enough to arrive late in the afternoon on a Sunday. Not any Sunday — it was Mother’s Day! After a wonderful lunch and wine tasting — we ended up here. We arrive and there was a DJ setting up. A DJ in a dive bar? Okay — let’s see what happens. It was karaōke! Not any karaōke — karaōke with an amazing DJ(Matthew)! He had the whole place dancing. Did I think I would end Mothers Day by dancing for hours and sweating my butt off? Well, I did and so did the whole bar. We’re talking about a bar with mostly middle aged and elderly people. Arriving with my son and his girlfriend was a breath of fresh air and they enjoyed the place more than anyone, I’m moving away in 6 weeks and hope I can get back to this place once more.

While a friend of mine and I were in the bra store down the street our husbands wandered here. Small bar. Pool table. 2 dollar drinks. No beers on tap. Super nice bartender. Casual and comfy. Great find.

Affordable drinks and relaxed atmosphere. Tangina and Lori are the best bartenders, go on nights when they work and you’ll get great service and you’re guaranteed a fun conversation! Try the watermelon kamikaze, but only if Lori or Tangina make it. It’s amazing.

It’s your classic dive bar with pool, darts, love bands now and than, and flat screens! Only beer in a can is Bud and Busch light, but jag and fireball are on top so that’s a bonus!

my husband and i went here when we couldn’t get service at the is a dive bar and im ok with that so i wasn’t expecting much. i had a vodka drink and my husband had a shot. prices were not bad. the only think is i believe they water down their husband had a shot of fireball whiskey and he said it tasted a little light.2 days later he bout the same whiskey at the store and it was darker in color as well as a more potent flavor. i don’t know if my vodka was watered down but i do know it was for sure bottom shelf.

fuck yeah. Went day drinking here w the B and the coolest people come here. All of em were a lot older than us, but they were very social and I dug the vibe. This is the kind of place you come to for the drive if nothing else., if you live in 916 or 209 come down and check it out. Right by the water, you’ll like it!

I’m a fan of the Flamingo as I’m living in Rio Vista right now and it’s actually open late! The bartender is really friendly and makes a special coffee drink, which I think is called Laurie’s Coffee. There are darts, pool, and lots of TVs to watch sports on. Beers are standard California-pricing, about $ 4 – 6.

It’s not called«The Dirty Bird» for nothing. «Dive» is an appropriate descriptor.

Since the bar side of the Striper(well, Young’s Sports Bar) closed down, The Flamingo(aka The Bird) is just about the only bar I go to in town. What I like about The Bird: pool table, internet juke box, easily accessible bathroom. Smoking outside of course, but hey, this is California. Most of the time I’m there, it happens to be kind of dead, but that’s fine by me. That means little wait for the pool table. When I go there and it’s busy, I have a great time, too. The bartenders are nice but stern which reassures me that there will be little drama there. The one time I saw a guy knock out another guy, the cops responded fairly quickly. It’s a great local dive bar in a small town. I’d take it over a flashy spot in SF any night — at least for the simple fact that there’s parking!!!
