Cute little whole in the wall neighborhood bar! Came here for date night after work, and it doesn't look like much on the outside. There was plenty of parking, the bar itself was pretty spacious! I feel like this is definitely a locals bar, because it was pretty empty. Good vibes from everyone there, super chill service. I will definitely be coming g back after work ! read more

A nice find tucked away in a small strip mall. Found out about this spot because we were attending a birthday a few doors down and it was a bit of a surprise. What we expected to be a dive bar was slightly more elevated with well-made cocktails and Luxardo cherries! The vibe is more of a lounge. They have happy hour every day until 7 and again late night from 11-2. There's ample bar seating as well as booths with cocktail tables, a pool table in back and a DJ the night we went. There's also ample parking. Our bartender, Heather, was helpful and friendly and took care of us all quickly and poured with a heavy hand. We enjoyed our time there. read more

I was visiting a friend in the area and she suggested we come here for National Margarita Day. You'll find this neighborhood gem tucked away in a strip mall. It was 4:30 pm on a Sunday and the place was packed with lively patrons enjoying Happy Hour, which runs from 11 am - 7 pm on the weekends and noon to 7 pm during the week. Score! The place is quite nice. In addition to bar seating there's a spacious lounge area and a few high-tops. There is also a pool table & tv's for your entertainment. Tromba Margaritas were on special for $10, so that's what I ordered. (It's also my go-to tequila.) It was perfect & nicely balanced. Bartender Heather was an absolute doll! I just loved her. When it was time for another she said, "I have some fresh blueberries. Would you like me to make you a Blueberry Margarita?" I trust a good bartender so I said, "Yes." Oh my! It was delish! My friend and I had a great time and enjoyed talking to the locals who were all very friendly and welcoming. One even bought us Jell-O Shots! I'd definitely make the trip out to the Valley to come back, especially for the great Happy Hour deals. *Parking in strip mall. read more

Cool bar tucked at the end of a small strip mall. As dives go this one is clean, pretty well lit and isn't loud. I like the blue glow at the bar and the walls have a different style in each direction. It's a little cold especially in the ladies room. Beer selection is limited, and no beer on tap. There's a comfortable area with cute fake candles to distance oneself from any noise from the tv watchers. The digital juke box displays artists and song name. You can tell who regulars are. Some even bring their own pool sticks! Good, friendly service and fair prices. No food served but outside food is welcome As we left, there were two pizza boxes at a table near the door. read more

One of my favorite watering holes in the valley. They have a pool table and a happy hour special where you can get a shot of patron and a beer for less than $10. Definitely a locals bar but not the type that makes you feel like a nazi if you're not a regular. Bartenders are what you'd want, attentive to all customers and know their regulars.

Came here for a friend's bday. Smaller than I expected but it's a cute little dive bar in a strip mall. Drinks aren't too bad and they have a pool table in the back. They had one lady serving up the bar for a packed house. She did a great job in handling everything, I was impressed. Chill area to lounge and bar seating with bar stools. Pool table in the back, though when we went there was a couple that were sticklers with playing pool like we were in a pool bar? I thought playing pool at a bar just meant waiting your turn to play your own game after another party was over? I guess you're supposed to play the winner? I'm not sure but that sure made for a buzzkill and I was too tipsy to deal with it. Careful bc I heard a lot of pos like to lurk around and catch DUI's here. read more

Terrible bar! Racist patrons, the staff do not care, I commented on someone racist remarks and was IMMEDIATELY asked to leave and the wannabe bouncer told the bar tender to just charge my card, even though I said I would pay cash! The bartender didn't hesitate but I'm guessing she did it because knows she would get fired if she didn't. Bartender was cool, didn't get her name, patrons I did not like as I am multi national and DO NOT LIKE RACISM! And heard it non stop by the patrons. The bouncer, who looks Asian, obviously heard all of it but could care less! Guessing he's more focused on green than custom experience. I wouldn't waste my money coming to this place. I tipped the bartender in cash! Which is something I always do, but I would've thought she would step up! What a shame. Cause this bar has potential. Just poor management. And btw, YELP! Allow us to put zero and negative stars. Cause this place warrants it! Shame on the fifth! Going there, if asked, you'll need to take the fifth! read more

The doorman was completely rude then told me I could leave it at the front with him. I agreed then he continued to be aggressive. I took my bag to my friends car and tried to re-enter the bar.

They were under an updating period and were closed for a bit, it doesn't seem like much changed if anything, but I know locals and passers through are grateful for this 60 year old dive lounge bar.

They…read morehave a tiki marketplace several times a year, and this one was held on a Sunday afternoon from noon to 6pm. It takes place mostly in their rear patio area and parking lot, but a good number of vendors were also in an adjacent air conditioned event room. They have a very small parking lot, but it was occupied by vendors during this event. Do not park in the parking lots of the adjacent businesses, as we were warned when entering the Tonga Hut that cars get towed regularly. There's plenty of street parking in the nearby neighborhood. Entering from the rear, there is a good sized covered patio with around eight benches. We went inside to check it out and grab a drink. The interior is fairly small with four good sized booths, a lounge area with a large J-shaped couch with several small tables, and around ten seats at the bar. It is dimly lit with some basic tiki décor, and has an old-school feel. They had a fixed cocktail menu for this event which is understandable. We stood in line at the bar for about ten minutes, got our drinks and went out to the patio. The bartender was friendly, and didn't seem flustered by the high volume of patrons. I had the Horned Beast O' The Celtic Sea (Oceanus Hibernicus Irish Malt, Jamacian Rum, House Made Falernum & Orgeat, Peach, Citrus, Dash of Cherry Heering, $13). She had the Leprechaun Grog (Three Rums, Lime, Grapefruit, Honey, Spice, Soda, $14). Both drinks were good, were served in souvenir plastic cups, and were a bargain at $13 to $14. If you ordered a drink containing Oceanus whiskey, the bartender gave you a gold coin and you could exchange it with the Oceanus representative on the patio for a free T-shirt. Durango Tacos was setup near the rear entrance for food. We had four tacos (two carne asada and two veggie), and they were good and reasonably priced. This was the first tiki marketplace we have attended. There were around twenty vendors with a good assortment of art work, tiki mugs, tiki clothing, tiki décor, and other miscellaneous items. I purchased a few nice tiki shirts which were a steal at $20 and $25. The vendors and visitors were all very friendly and in a festive mood. We hung out for about ninety minutes and had a good time. We will return at some point to try their regular cocktail menu and see what it's like on a non-event night.

Each bartender also has their own "secret menu" specials that only they can make. The decor is very on theme, and they have a fire pit and heaters outside for when it is chilly.

It's a reminder that great hospitality isn't always about reinventing a space. Sometimes it's about recognizing what already works and having the good sense to let it shine. The experience itself was remarkably seamless. Drinks arrived quickly, food followed with impressive timing, and every interaction felt genuine and unforced. There is an ease to the operation that can only come from a team that is both confident and deeply invested in what they do. The room carries a warmth that is increasingly rare. Good lighting, good energy, good music, and a staff that understands hospitality is as much about making people feel comfortable as it is about serving food and drinks.
