Very disgusted with this place. There was a piece of lettuce floating in my coffee. The plates were dirty. The pepperoni on the pizza was brown and clearly expired. The tortillas on the tacos were hard and my daughter's burger was much undercooked. Staff was friendly, but with the food being spoiled and served on dirty dishes just doesn't sit well. read more

Came on a Friday night. Party of three. Tables available. Service was great. Recommend the pretzel bits and Chicken Cesar salad.

Ok... so why 5 stars.. I came here a few times when it was named something else.. I thought they had just changed the name..well they didnt... the changed numerous things. Whoever came in and made the changes... you know what you are doing... the staff is amazing.. the food is great and thank you for having a great variety of beer.. I'm happy you had a red.. This will be my new place.. cant wait until football season.. this will be my spot... read more

I've been a few times now and I must say the service is great, the atmosphere is very chill with great music playing. They have a large beer selection. All of the servers are very personable and go out of their way to make a guest connection. read more

Our server M O N I Q U E is beautiful, somehow that made the food taste even better. I'd also like to mention that the bathroom was extremely clean, I'm big on that. The Mt. Baldy beer and the House IPA were both great suggestions by our server. The food was delicious and my beer was never empty, I would definitely recommend this place. You can even get your car washed across the street and have a delicious beer while you wait here at Stubborn Mule! (If you have a man purse aka MURSE you will not not be judged) read more

The atmosphere was inviting & fun. The Mules were divine. The food was tasty. Our waitress & bartender Justine was attentive, friendly & just amazing. I highly recommend this great place (ask for Justine)!! read more

This has been one of my favorite hamburgers in a long time. Ordered the southwestern hamburger lettuce wrapped and it definitely delivered, flavor was amazing. Their onions rings don't fall apart when you eat them and the onion doesn't come out when you bite into them. They were so tasty. The wait staff was very nice and friendly. Don't go expecting a fast burger because they make everything fresh and take their time making sure it's good, worth the wait. Definitely would go again. read more

It's a nice quiet sports bar environment with pretty good food! I had the BLT-A; VERY GOOD. My grandma had the quesadilla and a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup and said that the soup had a weird after taste. We think it was the cheese at the moment or something since it was in the quesadilla too, but the quesadilla, BLT and fries are for sure really good. Would also recommend the southerner sweeten iced tea, if you like sweetened iced tea. :) read more

Cool place, seating is a little strange, but overall nice. Tons of TVs and touch tunes box. Food was good bar food. Loved the pretzels and wings. We already recommended to some Family members. Worth checking out for sure. Happy hour is from 2-6 Monday thru Friday and Saturday and Sunday from 12-4 per our server. Only downside being that they only serve beer and wine and those are limited. read more

Great beer, great food, amazing service. The Stubborn Mule gets everything right, enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, not too quiet, not too loud, the food was very well prepared, simple and on point. The best part of our visit was Justine, she was the best server I've had in many years, very friendly, very knowledgeable and very eager to make everything perfect. We will be returning many times to our new favorite spot. Thank you Justine! read more

Nice ambiance and plenty of HD TVs playing mostly college football on the night we came. Decent beer and wine selection. Unfortunately, the food was less than stellar. My tri-tip sandwich was dry and so was my wife's pulled pork sliders. We may give it another try but tonight missed the mark. read more

Awesome little place in San Dimas. Had the Smashberry cider beer and it was amazing. Place is still new and I hope they get an awesome crowd in the next few months. read more

On May 21, 2019, around 8:00 pm. I asked for a second beer and the waitress decided not to give me my drink and talked to another customer for 30 mins. I then approached her and asked her calmly to cancel my second order of the beer. I only was able to have one drink and she charged me 2 drinks. She never gave us her name. (She appears to 5 feet tall and has black hair) read more

Great place to eat. Drink beer and watch the game. Good service and good people working here.

Owner and staff we're super friendly. Fun selection of beer and decent wine. Food is okay. Great spot to watch sports! Will definitely be back read more

Went to watch the Dodger Game and the Service was amazing !!! Food was outstanding !!! First time there and definitely will be coming back for more.... read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Good selection of beer. The food is... the food just makes you want to keep coming back for more. Their steak chili is the best I've ever had. Staff is incredibly friendly. Joe, the manager came by our table and was chatting it up with us a bit. It's just such a chill place here. Will definitely, DEFINITELY be coming back soon! read more

The new ownership knows what they are doing! The atmosphere is the same as Clayton's but only better. Service was prompt and our server Alissa is the best!! She knows what she's doing and is an expert at what she does. My wife and I wanted a relaxing night out and stubborn mule provided the perfect environment for that. We will be coming back!! read more

I think this rating could be higher on my next try. Will try something else on the menu, TURKEY burger seemed liked processed meat; tasted more like I was eating a turkey dog. Otherwise, Great atmosphere, good selection, wonderful service. Others enjoyed their meals. Maybe I just ordered wrong thing, would be willing to give it a second chance. read more

Had an issue with my bill, was promised a gift card for my trouble. Spoke with the owner promised me twice he would mail it out. Well it's been a month now and no gift card. Will not be going back , very disappointed read more

Moniqwa is the best! If u want some good allagash this is the spot! Come check out there 20 tv's and cute chicks...sup Michelle ;p

Horrible Service servers did not even attempt to help after sitting for more the 20 min. Went next door to Zendejas, much better..

Good food and friendly service. I came here on Father's day to treat my dad and it wasn't that packed which was nice. The beer selection is also good and they have plenty of TV's for you to keep up with any sport your currently watching. read more

So not a sandwich eater!!!! I was having a bad day showed up with my girlfriend had the best BLT sandwich... waitress was awesome!!!! & the wine wasn't bad. read more

So overall food and drinks were great but the experience and service another story. When we first arrived one server said sit wherever you like so we sat at a nice table to fit our party of three comfortably. Then this other brunette waitress rudely comes over and says oh I have this reserved and you will need to move. So she sat us at another table (okay not a big deal however it was a little snug) until 20 min later, what looked to be her boyfriend and son come to sit where we were originally sitting and literally sat there for 20 min waiting for their order to go and left. This is horrible, it appears your staff only cares about themselves than your customers. It just cost you customers and we will never come here again. read more

First time here what a great Surprise! hubby craving a REALLY good burger.. where to go? On our way to Red Robin and we see Stubborn Mule. So glad we did! Our server JUSTINE was AMAZING! So nice and totally relatable. The Bacon Burger was just what my hubby wanted. fresh and delicious! Wine & beer IPA good stuff. We will definitely be back here! read more

One need little bar here. I has a few different items on the menu, and a full bar which is great! Like all places the service is not all that great but if u are not in a hurry it is a ok place. Prices are reasonable and its a place where lots of regulars hang out. read more

This place was great! Came here with a bunch of friends for my birthday before going to the nearby escape room. Beers and food were delicious, staff was friendly and responsive. I would definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again soon! read more

This place is soooo much better than the previous establishment. The management is on the floor and attentive to customers needs. The wait staff is excellent. And the food is good. Beer selection is also good. Will continue to visit this establishment!!! read more

We went here with friends who r into IPA's myself not so much though I do enjoy lighter craft beer e.g 805, Shock Top, not realizing it had changed ownership. I'd been here when it was "Clayton Brewhouse and Eatery" the decor was still the same plain but clean, neat, open/roomy which is great for ADA (wheelchair ) customers, seating is standard tables or bar seating or high tables & stools in the bar area, the new owners had taken over a couple months earlier as they informed me they were friendly, seemed to be checking out the place for new changes i.e signage I assume. It wasn't to busy but there was a flow of people coming & going. As for food this had good flavor it arrived promptly it was hot, the pizza was nice size with good/ampel fresh ingredients, we also had Chile Bean bowl not very spicy/hot but good flavor & Wings, both had really good flavor the wings were crisp & juicy, pizza was cooked well not mushy or over cooked too crispy or over cheesed or sauced. Our server was friendly, checked on us & talkative willing to advise when asked about a menu item if she'd tried it, Looks as though they do have a good variety of beers IPA's, Crafts etc. there were bout 12-15 choices from standard crafts 805's to beers I'd never herd of & they offer a small sample if requested, buying the wine bottle is a better deal then by the glass FYI & the wine drinkers did enjoy the wine. TV's are a plenty thru out the restaurant seems like a great place to watch whatever sport your into Easy to find rt off the 57 freeway (east) behind Zendejas, give this place a try if you haven't since the change o ownership. read more

Me and my co-workers have been coming here as our after work go to spot since it changed hands. Justine is THE BEST! She always remembers us, what we drink, and takes care of us even if we come in 30min before close. She's awesome!! Make sure to ask for her whenever you come in. She will take really good care of you!! We love you Justine. read more

Was very happy I found this new spot. I never heard good things about the previous restaurant that was here, Clayton Brewing so we had never tried it out. We were looking for somewhere to go watch Saturday evening College Football with several tv's so we could watch more than one game at once. This place fits the bill and has great food also! There were so many yummy sounding things on the menu it was hard to decide what to get but since we were hanging out watching football we decided to stick to ordering several appetizers and sharing. First the tater tots, they were salty potato goodness! You can also order them topped with bacon and cheese but as we were already ordering loaded potato skins we ordered the tots plain. They were good! If anyone who lives in the area has been to Butters and knows how good their tots are these give those a run for their money! Next the loaded potato skins. In my opinion it's hard to screw up potato skins so these were the normal potato skins and tasted exactly how you would expect them to taste. We ordered wings and you had a choice of what sauce you want them tossed in which I think the choices were Spicy Buffalo, BBQ, and Teriyaki, can't remember if there was any other options. We got the Teriyaki and they were good. Came out crispy and although I felt they could have used just a little bit more sauce my boyfriend thought they were perfect cause he hates when wings are drowned in sauce. I think one of our fav things we ordered was the nachos. Loved that it was chili on them for a different style than the beef or chicken alot of places serve. We opt'd for all the toppings on the side as my son is picky so ours came out with just the chips, chili and cheese with all the toppings on the side which we all added as we wanted on our own. They were very tasty. Some friends that were with us ordered the tri tip sandwich and a wedge salad and said it was good. My son got the full sized pepperoni pizza and finished all but 1 piece because he was full. I was shocked at how dead the place was for a Saturday evening and hope that it's just because people in the area don't realize it's no longer Clayton Brewing. Please let's get some more people in this place because it is a great spot to go watch a game and eat some great food and I would hate to see it go out of business simply because people don't know about this hidden gem! I honestly might have to make this the regular Saturday night spot during College Football season and will definitely be back! read more

Stubborn Mule - Lots of tv's to watch sports. - American Near Me - San Dimas, California

See all

Great beer selection and equally great food selection. Since they took over from Clayton's it is a step above.

Love the Mule for so many reasons! Each time we've come, the food, drinks, and overall feel of the place is top notch and never disappoints. Great management and staff who authentically care about you as a customer, and want to make your experience a great one! So far, I recommend any of the burgers, the Monterey Chicken Sandwich, and the BBQ Chicken Salad. Will be making my way through the menu with each visit! Thank you for making this place our go-to spot when we are in the area!!! read more

Okay, first off..I think it's really difficult to survive as a restaurant in this little shopping center. The coffee shops died. Clayton's restaurant sold to the Mule after what must have been 5 years as my favorite place in San Dimas. The Mule is okay. They seem more popular but have done a lot to bring down food cost. Starting with the good, the place is clean. The servers are nice and attentive..even during a busy happy hour. The owner or manager is visible and greets folks. Service is a focus. I'm a beer snob and the beer is good. Lots of local $10 beers but nothing too pretentious. The bad, I don't love the food. I visited the Mule right after Clayton's sold. The food was simple. My favorite sliders once had Gouda with caramelized onions, they were changed to cheddar and ketchup. I can respect reducing ingredients to reduce cost. I miss my sliders but I do understand. Today I went back for the beer and decided to try something else on the menu. I had calamari and my date had a chicken club. That plus 2 craft beers was $40 during happy hour, alright. The food is still clean and looks appealing. The portions are a bit larger and the sandwich is big, messy to eat. Finally the ugly, I can taste these ingredients are probably frozen. Or bought fresh in bulk and frozen over time. Everything is cooked well but the perfectly cooked fries have a chalky taste in the center. The calamari is firm, not chewy. The chicken in the sandwich is tired not fresh, not a lot of flavor. The veggies are fresh. I will probably return for the beer and hopefully enjoy a salad without proteins. read more

Service and food far exceeded our expectations!! We had gone when it was Clayton's and weren't impressed. Sad we waited until the last Sunday of football season to try it out!! We loved it. Prices are incredibly reasonable and the breakfast was delicious and freshly made. They have great food and drink specials. Will definitely be our new Sunday Football watching hangout next year!!! read more

Duuuude, if you like calamari and spicy they make a badass spicy calamari.. delicious. They also cooked the tater tots to perfection with the sandwich we got. Good beer. I was just passing through town for a birthday and kid had to pee and stopped here for a quick drink and bite.. glad I did. read more

Pretty bomb. Glad to see a legit spot in San Dimas. Good beer selection. Food was really good. Will definitely return.

Good food! It was a little dark in there when I went..but it's nice inside. The pulled pork was tasty! The fries were just ok. I also tried the fish and chips. The fish was good! I would get it again if I was in the mood for a light simple recipe of fish and chips. I mean that in the best way! It was very good not too much going on..the batters good and the fish shines. I plan to come back. I wish it was a little brighter in there but it's a nice place to go. read more

Great drinks, food & staff. Nice to finally find a really cool family owned sports bar in San Dimas!
