There was an issue last year where a regular of the bar was taking inappropriate pictures of my friends without their consent and being aggressive when confronted about his behavior. Security told him to leave but he has not been 86'd which tells me the owner cares more about $ than the comfort and safety of the other patrons of the bar, so I refuse to support this business.

Service took a few minutes to acknowledge people coming in, but the quality was there!! The bartender & security were friendly & upbeat. My drink was excellent & served w/ a lime. The music was well selected & volume was varied depending on which song the bartender liked most. I would 100% revisit this place on a karaoke night. It seems like a wonderful seasoned business! Keep up the awesome environment Captain's Chest!

It's small and cozy and cute and I've had two debates across the bar about military history in contra costa and if that was on the menu I would order it lol. I love this spot... it's a dive bar... don't be weird. lol. Oh it's in the same plaza as Trader Joe's... good for a day cap with a co worker and then a grocery grab for home!

Grab some takeout and bring it to Artie's, order your favorite dive bar classic, and just bask in the historic establishment that is ARTIE'S. It's a whole chill ass mood, and I'm here for it.

It's also right across from the main three office buildings on California and the only elevated bar in the immediate area, so it's a big hit for those looking to grab a drink after work. My only gripe is that it's very small and always pretty packed. Seating is often limited or completely unavailable so be prepared to stand, but the bartenders do a great job churning out drinks quickly to accommodate the crowd. I can see this place doing very well long-term just based on location - just be sure to get there early!

Got off work early and stopped in for an IPA. The gentleman behind the bar was super friendly, and…read morethe light afternoon crowd honestly felt like something out of Cheers. I wanted a quick bite and saw you could pick three apps to make a sampler, so I went with the coconut shrimp, mushrooms, and zucchini. All of them were perfectly battered, crunchy, and delicious--and as a self-proclaimed ranch snob, I fully approve of theirs. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Perfect spot for burgers, sandwiches, and classic fried bar food when you're craving it. Cheers!

But I guess that's okay because they didn't have a specific team on them? Mike you the whole theme of this place is games but if you have a sports game that's a problem. Lame. Last time I was here the bartender was pouting the whole time. I guess they are just setting a miserable vibe now. No wonder attendance here has fallen way off.

No more live music, karaoke only. I'm not sure why they call it a sports bar since there are only…read morethree screens spread far apart on one wall behind the bar. The "buffalo wings" did not have any sauce on them, just hot sauce on the side. I got here at 6 on a Friday and there were only two other dudes sitting alone not talking.
