    Pool table make sure you bring some dollars for quarters

    So I saw a review, that said it's a five star location, but you have to be a local to understand why. We were there a couple hours and I get it. The locals that were there could definitely tell that we were not locals. However, they greeted us friendly and made us feel welcome. Two people sitting at the bar when we walked in said, "Welcome.Come on in." Another gentleman named Dave struck up a conversation as I was ordering my drink. Speaking of drinks they were mostly the heaviest pours you're gonna find, with just a splash of your mixers. As far as selection, you're not gonna find anything above mid shelf level liquors. Beer is cold and drinks are stiff though you can't ask for more than that. Add another point I ended up giving another lady a hug who was looking for a little reassurance from her friends. Other locals were chanting Molly for the bartender behind the bar. There was a charcuterie board set up that anyone could walk up to just in the middle of the bar. There's a small hotdog carousel going in another corner. Our drinks walking out the door were less than $20. All the things you'd want in a dive bar exist here. Molly, the bartender even came around the bar at one point she was finishing up a bottle of Malibu from a drink that my wife had ordered and poured the last little bit into her drink for her at no charge. You know what it's a dive bar and if you go in remembering that. You're gonna have a great time plenty of TVs on the wall. There's a pool table and friendly people; those are a pretty good combination if you ask me.

    Hubbers was curious to check this place out and since we were (literally) around the corner, eh... why not. Found parking right up front so that was convenient. (FYI: They have a parking lot at the back.) It was a mid-afternoon Sunday so it wasn't busy. Plenty of open seats at the bar where we seated. Just fair warning: some seats were reupholstered, some weren't. I wore shorts so I only noticed I sat at the older stools when I started feeling lines on my skin. But this is a dive bar, so there's absolutely nothing fancy schmansie about this place. There were a few locals who knew the staff well. It really is just a place to chill. Think "Cheers" (the TV show) only smaller and darker. They had neon signs for Blue Moon but bartender said they haven't had that for a couple of months now. Settled for the Modelo. Hubbers got a pale ale. We really just hangout and watched games they had on TV. The pool table was open, but we didn't plan on hanging out that long, so we'll save those games for a future visit. The stop was really meant to be a quick one. (We still had a couple of errands to run and get home to our pup!) Cool first run! Most likely will return. (Karaoke Wednesdays, maybe?) We shall see!

    I've been walking to The Thirsty Club since 2018--this place is practically part of my DNA at this point. I was even here on March 17, 2020 when the cops came in and shut it down mid-pandemic (iconic, chaotic, unforgettable ). And guess what? It's STILL my favorite dive. The drinks? Strong, cheap, and unapologetically generous--exactly how I like my men and my pours. No food menu, but bar staples hold it down: nuts, chips, and when the Dodgers play? Hot dogs. Shoutout to Kat, the best bartender/enabler in the South Bay--she'll pour you right into a good time. Dimly lit perfect for day drinking. The Thirsty Club isn't for everyone--and that's exactly why I love it.

    Free corned beef, potatoes, carrots, rolls etc on st Patrick's day.

    I believe that Holiday's matter, not as days that drive chocolate and flower sales, but as…read morereminders that whimsy should be celebrated to make life a bit more colorful and joyous. Scrooge might say "Bah! Humbug!" to festivities but, in other hand, say "hab gubmuh" to the days and seasons that bring mirth, hanging streamers and disco balls into our life, lest these be left in grayscale. That is why I was attracted to this bar because I wanted to know be drenched in red and pink glamour while all the way celebrating that very special feeling of love. As, soon I entered the door and saw the exaggerated decorations on the roof and on the walls, my immediate thought was "fun," not corny, or please with these hanging hearts and neon lights. Thus this place owns the trip to love land without apology, and I for one, say that this means that the festive goal hoped for hit heart center. I also went relatively early, in terms of bar crowd hours, and was surprised that the place was full to its arteries. Truth be told, that is why, I ticked one star of my overall rating because this place is cute and a vibe, and a worthy scene, but it is also small and packed to the point where folks are proverbial sardines in a tin can. But more on that later, right now, we start with what gave me anchor in place: their pool table. There is no place to sit, amidst the crowd, I automatically assessed. Where can I be to find my place? So I went to the table and played pool. I appreciated that the place had clearly articulated rules and procedures for play, which removed ambiguity and created a climate of respect toward the game, which allows for pool games where appropriate and competitive game play reigns. I managed to order a drink on theme for the night: a Misty Kiss. It was the bartender's suggestion, after I asked for their sweetest cocktail. When she first suggested it, I thought she said minty kiss, and thus when she delivered the drink, I was expecting some kind of shamrock shade. But then I heard the appropriate pronunciation- misty, not minty. I wondered when a literal misty kiss would be appropriate and beautiful? Then I remember scanning a picture book of love pictures, and one was of a woman saying goodbye to her sailor as he shipped of to fight in a world war, and I realized that the sadness in her eyes as she said goodbye was a form of a misty kiss. I took my Misty Kiss and played a game of pool with a guy named Matt. He revealed that he played every day, which explained why I did not stand a chance against a daily player, balance in talent simply did not exist. It was hard to find a spot to place my drink, which tasted swell, and was on brand for the evening, and quite stiff! It was hard to find a seat or a spot for me to call my own. And it was for others as well. I saw people going to the bathroom and needing to allocate themselves in near hunches to avoid the sticks of pool. And out in the crowd, people were huddled on the floor, not sure where to be so they could feel like they had a space of their own and did not bump with others. But there was no way to avoid bumping into others, and it was a mission to find a spot. That is why when I saw a table for two open up, I did a mad dash to an empty chair, like a fool in love who rushes in. It is at the chair where I could not only see but stop and admire the paper roses of the place. As my pictures show, the place truly did not limit itself from embracing the spirit of Valentine's day. For instance, they had this wall of decorations, with hearts, orbs (white, red, pink) teddy bears, and so much more; it was a tapestry hung just right for the occasion. Of course, people wanted to use the wall as the backdrop but with so many people, this too, required a wait and navigate plan. I did help some folks out by taking their pictures. I was not Cupid but in these moments I did hope that my aim was true. In the final analysis, I immensely appreciated the decorations, and all of the folks who dressed for the occasion, because it gave texture and meaning to the decor. But the tight quarters limited the love I can give to this place. However, I do know now where to go, where I want a themed drink, and environment to boot.

Cupid aka Courtney was shooting arrows and slinging shots behind the bar with style and serving up some love with this months "Cupids Cocktails" menu. All the locals could be found in for a session. They once again out did themselves with the cutest decor. My one suggestion would be to get the jukebox playing all the love songs (from power ballads to cheesy fun sing along ones) to nail the vibe. They've got a pool table to shoot your own shots too! Parking can be rough but do yourself a favor and everyone else and Uber. Loving all the holidays here! great job Paddy O's and staff!

The service is outstanding and the neighborhood bar vibes are peak when you want to get a "locals only" experience. Some things to note: * They love their UFC here, so if you're into that def come on over. There were more screens dedicated to UFC than WC semi-finals when I visited and the packed restaurant ROARED when the UFC action was happening. * They do line dancing lessons and trivia nights and other fun entertainment here (check the schedule). * The pizza is NY-style, very legit, love the crust, and you can get a whole pie or (I love that you can get it) by the slice. * I also tried the wings. I usually go for bbq or buffalo to keep it safe but tried their tequila miso since it sounded unique. Def delicious and loved the ranch it came with. Would get it again. * They have a separate arcade room with pinball machines and TV screens tucked in the back. There are multiple tables and it's great for a private party. I'm so happy with the staff putting me back there instead of the main room bc the main room that evening was too loud for the kiddos. The back room was perfect.
