    Foreground: Apocalypse How Brouwerij West Stout-Pastry Imperial. Background: Tangerine & Pineapple IPA, Stone Brewing, IPA Imperial
    Gary I.

    Golden Nugget Pub prides itself in specializing in California local craft beers, ales, ciders, but wines according to Yelper Rob B. are not worth one's discerning palate.  GNP can be classified within the realm of a dive in that it is basic, butch, down home. But unlike some dives, the bar is clean, neat, sanitized. Two outdoor tents with good fresh air circulation, one in front & another on its east side with physically distanced tables, are reassuring.   The pours are ideal in having a 5oz glass to be able to sample the diverse 30 beer menu which changes often. There is a 10oz as well as larger pint pours.  1) Tangerine & Pineapple IPA, Stone Brewing, IPA Imperial/Double 9%:  High hops for a heavy, green herbal funk. Bit of barnyard ammonia. Meaty yeastiness. Clear, discernable tangerine zest & pineapple.  2) Apocalypse How Brouwerij West Stout-Pastry Imperial w/ peanuts, chocolate, Vanilla, Lactose 12.7%: A true dessert beer. Thick, sweet, tastes of burnt coffee, dark chocolate, acidic. I'd like to put a scoop of premium vanilla ice cream for a beer float.  Smooth like Guiness. Reminds me that Apocalypse How is a beer equivalent to Hungarian Tokaji Aszú Essencia    Some Yelpers complained about GNP not being a full liquor bar. Don't they realize how expensive it is obtaining a full liquor license that would not be profitable for a dive? GNP does a good job being a beer bar that has a good "curated" list of beers. Don't even step in if all you want is a cocktail cuz it ain't gonna happen. 4 stars.

    This is such a tough review for me. PC's has always been that go to dive bar in Simi Valley…read more Finally decided to check out the renovation under new ownership. Definitely a lot of Pros and Cons for the new place. For the pros, it is so much cleaner!!! Let's be honest, before the floor and bathrooms were disgusting. The updated establishment is so much nicer and refreshing. The back area is also much improved and allows for more seating. Finally a lot of the random old decor is gone. Now for the cons. The food and drinks just aren't the same :( and to be honest, that's the main reason for coming here. Came on Taco Tuesday and sampled each. Chicken, carnitas and ground beef tacos. They are small street style tacos. Emphasize small because I inhaled them. I really miss the old tacos that happened to be more filling and cheaper. The meat now is also bland with little flavor. My wife had the PC's Cobb Salad which came out at first missing chicken. That was quickly remedied but was also not as filling as prior. Finally the service is okay. Still seems as if they are getting the hang of things but until they do this place will struggle. Let's be honest, Simi Valley residents have a certain expectation that I think this place is missing. Alcohol prices have drastically increased. My bill also came out inaccurate so had to rectify. Ps. It is no longer a Dallas Cowboys bar. It's a Raiders bar now :( We no longer have our hang out... Corri was nice overall and I wish her the best here. Hope my next visit will be better.

Great atmosphere and decor, our server was very friendly and helpful and checked on us even after our food was served. Let's s talk about the food, very good for a Pub scene, food was plenty and came out hot. The fish and chips (what I ordered) were very good, crunchy outside and fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. Not greasy at all. All our entrees had the option of skinny fries or fat fries. The French Dip had plenty of moist beef in it with a great Au Jus, burger was cooked to perfection and the smashed chicken sandwich was amazing. Plenty of choices of beer featuring local breweries as well as the standard go to's. We got there before the dinner crowd got there and it filled in fast. Great menu with lots of choices and they also serve a breakfast menu on the weekends. Glad we came in and was a very pleasant experience. Bravissimo Lucky Fool's, you gained a new customer. See you again, Ciao

Maybe I'd ask for lettuce also next time but it was good! My kids got wings and mozzarella sticks which were also good. The mozzarella sticks were a bit overdone, some the cheese was totally melted out, but overall decent. My husband loved his Philly. We also got pretzels with cheese, super buttery, but still tasted good. Also the wedge fries were like sooooo buttery. And I love butter but dang a bit much. Service was great everyone was so nice! Also had a yummy espresso martini. I def want to go back for breakfast and maybe earlier in the day in general bc I'd love to give this place a higher rating.

Wow Andy you sure have a lot to say which is all false the owners and management work extremely hard in all aspects of our business sounds like your upset we cancelled trivia? All of your accusations are false and not accurate we sell hundreds of thousands of these dishes you've mentioned all made in house and fresh with rave reviews and what's funny most people will look at your outrageous post and list and laugh at how inaccurate it is. We obviously cannot help the ranting you have made and the quiz patrons feel free to not come back if you are going to falsely slander our business they way you have. Very disappointed in the amount of false statements you've made but that what Yelp is a platform for people to hide behind rather than calling an owner or manager to discuss true facts. Good luck in your future endeavors at better restaurants we obviously aren't the place for you. so kim... exactly what did I say that wasnt true? that one of my teamates won't come anymore because your ladies room is not up to cleanliness standards? that your food is wildly inconsistent? that your managers have told me that ownership doesn't give a crap about quality? Hate to break it to you but no one in the room of 60+ people was disappointed when our quizmaster told us that we wouldn't be having trivia at the crown and anchor anymore. There were even a few cheers! and we didn't miss a single trivia night because he had pre arranged to switch our wednesday night trivia to a different restaurant that although it is an even further drive for me and my team, the food is much better, completely consistent and ownership of the restaurant takes pride in the product they put out. We have been asking our quizmaster for years to find an alternative to the crown and anchor.... We go to wednesday night trivia because we love the quality of the quiz and we suffer through your food as a sort of "necessary evil" and you can accuse me of not approaching you personally when there was a problem with a meal but the fact of the matter is that I have approached your managers several times with issues (like when the iced tea had no flavor or the fries tasted like they were cooked in filthy oil or the chili breadbowl was stale) and those same managers (multiple) said that you weren't there and you didn't really care about the product the crown and anchor put out. you could have just apologized for my negative experience but instead you accused me of lying and slander. And just because you manage to stay in business doesn't mean that you are putting out good/consistent product.
