Navajo Live is a decent live music venue by night and an okay bar during the day…read more I've been to Navajo live both during the day just for a beer of two and at night to see a band perform. A dark bar, the lighting is nearly nonexistent during the day. Drink prices are reasonable and the bartenders and regulars are friendly. It gets pretty crowded when the band fires up. The low ceilings can make it seem a bit claustrophobic. The acoustics aren't the best, but when you're head banging, acoustics take a backseat to volume. LOL!

The security guard with the beard was extremely rude and acted more like a barback than security…read more We've been coming here for years... and last Friday a group of people took a table we were using, even though two of our friends were already sitting there and told them the table was taken. We were a group of about 7-8 people total. When we came back after grabbing drinks, we saw that the other group had completely taken over the table. They said they didn't care that we were regulars and called the security guard over. We explained the situation, and his response directly to us was: "I don't care, you can shut up, close your tab, and leave." We had already spent plenty of money there and were not asking for special treatment, but the lack of professionalism was awful. I've worked in customer service for almost a decade and have never spoken to a customer that way. This is exactly how a good place can lose loyal customers because of incompetent staff.

RIP Alibi...rebranded as The Malt House…read more Some well placed refurbishments, additional bar tables, barstools, and moved the jukebox to make room for a new shuffleboard table. ++ Kudos for the remodeled bathrooms...so fresh and so clean clean. Was cash-only before, and now The Malt House accepts card payments. No kitchen or food trucks when we visited = byo*snacks Tried an East County Cooler specialty cocktail. It was light and refreshing. Reminded me of a boozy Squirt without the soda carbonation bubbles. We'll be back again once we figure out Cassie's work schedule ;)

Makes my day a little easier. My girl GC aka Cassie is always hooking it up with extra strong drinks, and if I had a hectic morning and didn't have time to eat, sometimes a bag of Doritos for breakfast. Thank you baby Jesus for looking down upon Santee and blessing our city with this beautiful establishment. Alibi 4 Life

First time visiting, looking to try something new. Something more than just drinks. I give this a 5…read morestar review and I will tell you why. 1. They have a calendar of events, like open mic, karaoke, country social, trivia night, live music and more fun stuff. They also had two pool tables and TVs for watching sports. 2. The drinks are pretty well priced. While they do not offer food, they do welcome outside food. Which is cool if you have a specific craving that wouldn't normally be at a bar/pub. 3. Tonight was live music and the band had a really chill vibe and had good musicians. (Lunar conspiracy ) 4. It's not a huge place but it had plenty of seating, a dance floor and outdoor seating. 5. Last but not least they have friendly service. I wasn't in the mood for alcohol, and they were accommodating. I plan to go back and check out some of the other events. Tonight was not a packed night, but I'll have to compare it to other event nights in the future. If you are in the area you might already know about them but if you don't, I say give it a shot.

This place was great. Bright, vibrant and full of tropical decor. The bar was packed. We got a four high top seater in the main area. Glad we did because it was karaoke night! In between songs the dj would play pop star music videos. There was a back patio with more seating. Surprise of the night was when Sterling the security guard sang a song from "Wicked". Will definitely go back again!

If you're a waffle lover, this is definitely something you'll want to try. I ordered the Breakfast Burger, and it was delicious! The flavor was on point and definitely worth trying. It also comes with fries, which were a great addition to the meal. And if you're a ranch lover, this is your spot! They do not disappoint when it comes to ranch. Overall, we had a great breakfast, and the food was flavorful and satisfying. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

I just grabbed the empty seats in the front row not be disruptive. We prepared to get heckled for choice of seats. It was great to see new talent and familiar faces too. I didn't drink but had to peep at the gorgeous wooden bar. There was a vendor selling food from outside too. It looked like a tasty home cooked meal: rice and stirfry meat and veggies. Fairly large space for all things bar activities. Happy it was located in a strip mall for parking accessible. Will be back for other events soon!
