Chill dive bar. A little dark, pool tables, TVs on the wall to watch a game, stiff drinks at decent prices. All the things you look for in a dive. No food but there's some restaurants within a block or two if you want to grab a bite before or after. Service was good. The bartender was really nice. Easy parking in the shopping center lot. read more

Went into TJ's after talking to some friends that love this place. The bartender was great and made great drinks!! The inside has pool tables and darts going. What a great little find. We will be back for sure! read more

Sammy is the best... she f@#king awesome... so glade she's here now... she's a breath of fresh air... thank you tj's for hiring her... I wish you had food though, but still love this place read more

Super bad vibes on a Tuesday night. Though, service was good, quick and courteous. Didn't stay long enough to try food. The crowd seemed super heavy on sullen middle age men. Would not recommend for a fun time. read more

It is what it is. If you like small dive bars, friendly bartenders and chill locals it's fantastic. Don't overthink it. Bonus points for a Taco Bell next door and a liquor store that sells cigarettes. read more

Not a Gal who writes reviews. They got some old broad with an attitude working nights here now. Not a fan. Offers geriatric speed service at best. How do you screw up a vodka grapefruit. It's two things sweetie. I can get a better cocktail from a sober living facility than out of her! I can hear her across the bar complaining and whining about all the other gals who work this joint. Also not a fan. I can see why it's empty most nights but somehow busy during the day. Won't be back on her shifts. Who thought this was a good idea? Who! Let the old bird fly back to wherever she came from. That I'll be a fan of! read more

Great place to spend a few hours playing pool, eating tacos and enjoying a few beers. Saul and Ali rock!! It's nice to be able to have quality food available to keep your alcohol in check. Come check it out!! read more

Lauren is the best bartender TJ's has had in a VERY LONG TIME! She's attentive, doesn't take crap from rude, bullying customers and should be promoted to manager! She's on point and understands the dynamics of running a bar! Lauren has her regulars who go above and beyond to make sure they only go in when she's working!!! And she knows everyone's favorites without being asked!! I only go on her shifts; Saturday, Sundays and Wednesdays!!! read more

Lauren is an amazing bartender that works there. Show up on a Saturday day time shift and you won't be disappointed!!

This place gets 5 stars for being exactly what it wants to be, a Dive Bar. I came here with a group of friends on a Saturday around 5pm. The place was dark, the people were friendly and there was a dog! We had a great time. They have three pool tables, a juke box and a full bar. A pool player needed one more on his team so he asked one of the guys in our group to join. I paid $7.50 for a bottle of Lagunitas. Some people in our group brought in Taco Bell and there was no issue. If you're looking for a good, dark, loud bar this is your place!, read more

Great vibe, good bartenders that won't take crap from obnoxious patrons, and cheap booze. Excellent food a few nights a week from a third party vendor. However, pool has always been a big attractor. 3 tables (if in dire need of maintenance) and a crowd that's always up for a game. They recently doubled the price per game from 1 to 2 dollars. Absolutely outrageous. Hard to justify coming here if casual games of pool are part of the draw. read more

This is a great dive bar. Cheap prices and very nice scenery at times. Plus they have a guy who cooks tacos every week nce in a while

This place is dope af. Bartenders cool. Good variety of people come in to keep conversation interesting. Foods good. I'll be back.

service is horrible. I would never comeback again . Dawn the bartender should pay more attention to the customer than her friends . she is so rude gland I'm not the owner read more

I been coming here for 25 years and never been disappointed until 5/23/24 . We were playing with songs and the bartender treated to pour our beers out because we like few songs we happened to catch her name . Don. We paid for our drinks and to treated customers like that in front of other customers. That not right. Then she insinuated that my friend and I were gay and "We should go find a Hotel and FUCK. And to keep me in check . You might want to tell your employees to stay inside and stop smoking weed while there customers are inside. What kind of customer service is Don. She does not have the right to say what kind of song that anyone can play at the jukebox. Lost my business read more

This place rules. Strong drinks at reasonable prices and a decent crowd too. Bartenders are good people.

This is a local dive bar that let's just say caters to the very bottom of the barrel. My major concern with this bar is that they serve alcohol to minors. Specifically 19 and 20. I have witnessed this firsthand on more than one occasion and have photos and videos to back it up. Multiple times I've even question the staff about who admitted that they know these individuals are under age and they don't mind as long as they don't cause a problem. This bar has no security and they do not anybody. I have reached out to this bar several times and cannot get anybody on the phone. It is extremely irresponsible for any establishment that sells liquor to sell to underage minors who will then be getting behind the wheel and taking to the street. I want the community to know about this and I hope the owner reads this message and wakes up to the irresponsible actions of his establishment and staff. You are endangering the community in which we live in. Shame on you! read more

Great place, amazing people, but the pool tables NEED ATTENTION BADLY , super sucks when you put money in and can't finish a game because the balls get stuck. The felt is horrific and the middle table the balls straight bounce off the rail/bouncer and messes up your shot. Why can't the owners care a little more and fix/service the tables. So many of us come in just to play pool but now I don't even want to play pool when I am here. Sad day when the owners don't even care.....Danielle, Leanna, ally, and Mike are all amazballs!!!!! 2 star rating because the pool tables suck donkey butts. read more

Typical divey dive and it's quite comfortable feeling inside. I'm a dive bartender and I know what to expect from a place like this but even still the service was really lacking when I visited. Pale bartender with reddish brown long hair was working, didn't catch her name, I asked for a Pacifico with a tajin rim and they only had bottles so she poured a bottle in a glass, hands it to me. I paid, it was pretty cheap maybe 6$ , I give her 16$ and tell her to keep the change. Upon further inspection of the glass, it's cracked all the way down (not a small chip or anything). So I asked her for a new beer/glass. She takes it from me, goes to the complete opposite side of the bar in effort to hide that she just poured the same beer into a new glass, likely containing small pieces of glass, then comes back and hands it to me. I asked her if I could actually get a new beer as well so it went have any glass in it. She slams the glass infront of a regular and goes "he'll drink it", then begrudgingly pours a new beer into a new glass (which should have been done initially). No apology for originally serving me a busted up glass , nothing but attitude. Yikes read more

THIS PLACE IS AWFUL. we have given it so many tries, but of course every time we go it's the same bartender (brown hair, glasses, tattoos) and TONY VEGA FROM PLACENTIA (he made sure to give us his name). every single time the female bartender treats us like a burden and tony gets drunk with all his friends while pretending to work. tonight, tony offered us the pool table he "paid for." he was clearly extremely drunk. he said we could use it "while he was working." the bartender didn't agree. she LOUDLY said "no. f-- them, don't let them use our f-ing pool table." they proceeded to play pool while ignoring patrons who needed drinks. the bartender treated us like a nuisance the entire time. she made fun of one person (a sober driver) for asking for water instead of alcohol. even when we would ask for alcohol, she would tend to all her friends before EVER acknowledging us. the entire time while taking care of her friends, she would pour herself shots of FIREBALL. as someone who works in the service industry, i have NEVER given a $0 tip, but this bar back/bartender duo absolutely deserved it. they were not only awful bartenders, but awful people. when they saw our $0 tip, they followed us into the parking lot and threatened to physically assault us. TONY VEGA FROM PLACENTIA made sure to state his name multiple times while his little bartender friend tried to hold him back. if they don't want bad tips they should give their patrons better service. read more

Agreed with the review below me, last time we went the bartender (white girl with tattoos, who thinks shes too cool for everyone) was so f rude , we went in got drinks 4 times and we like switching it up and not getting the same sht over and over so the girl goes "wow ive never seen people get so many different drinks it's usually the same" and we were like , yah its a full bar why not? she acts like we busted her ass making drinks, btw im a bartender and i dont mind making drinks its part of the job crafting drinks. deal with it. Anyway this older gentleman used to be there but now we wont be going back sadly. She ruined it. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Went in there based upon a recommendation. The bartender there was a total jerk. White girl with glasses and tattoos. Asked her for a drink 3 different times. She walked away the last time and dismissed me with her hand. Because she was too busy tending to her people at the end of the bar closest to the entrance. She also started talking smack about me to her friends. Saying "oh, f her she can f-ing wait." Mind you the bar was empty. There were only 6 people at the bar, and 2 pool tables with 2 people playing. Since we couldn't get a damn drink. We left. read more

I love this place I typically go on Thursdays cause I know they have a dope ass taco guy Saul that gets down on the grill. The bartender there is awesome, Chasa she's always super sweet and takes care of my friends and I every time we go. I usually don't know what to order she comes up with something for me that's always on point. read more

$8 for a 12oz bottle of Space Dust during Happy Hour. This is a dive bar. WTF? You can get 16oz pints of this stuff all over town for $7, and nobody in those places will look at you like they want to kick your ass because you're the only one in the place whose shirt still has sleeves on it. Way to take the Happy out of Happy Hour. #wayoverpricedforadivebar read more

TJ's is a dive bar. Plain and simple. If you want a stiff drink or a beer at a normal bar price, this is a the bar for you. No bells and whistles here. Come for the alcohol and a chill vibe. If you see a the bartender "Chasa" there during the weeknights, recognize you are in the presence of GREATNESS!!! read more

Local bar with three pool tables and lots of bar seating with booths on the other side. Lots of great people, and the bartender Chassa, is a doll. When she's not there, it's usually Mike. Don't tell him, but he's one of the sweetest guys ever despite his furrowed brow! Good place to "dive" into if your looking for a late-night nightcap. read more

Love this bar! I go in at different times of the week and day and I've always had good experiences with all of the bartenders. Great dive bar. Yes, there are times where they get busy, that's at any bar! I've always had attentive service. I mostly go in when Mike or Chasa are working and have a great time. read more

I've been going to tjs for a while now and Chassa, Alexis, Mike & Johnny are really cool about giving me good drinks and are very friendly to me. read more

The drinks are stiff and the women are loose, which made me stiff too. I gotta say their baked beans are top notch. Say hi to billy if you go in for a Busch latte! read more

Want to deal with low key locals? Wait 30 mins to get served while the staff take a smoke break? Then this is the place for you! Holy s**t - take a swerve and an early night!! This is the devils a''hole of bars. Overpriced drinks and shitty bar staff who are already drunk equals a waste of a night. You are welcome for saving you! Go to The Bench Sports Bar & Grill - 3159 Yorba Linda Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92831, United States. And enjoy great food, friendly staff and no crackhead waitresses read more

If you are not a local or are a person of color don't come here. Everyone will make you feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed, even if you've pregamed before going in, they will kill your buzz and loose the urge to want to drink more. And if you do decide to take a chance with this place make sure to have exactly what you want to order in mind because the bartender will tell you off and go to take a smoke break if you don't, come back after a smoke break and tell you off again ! Even if you aren't familiar with drinks and trying to give him ideas, he'll tell you off and not help like real servers/ bartenders do anywhere else) I came in excited to try a new place despite the way it looks and once I seen the way he acted with my group I didn't care to order anymore and couldn't wait to leave. Like a loss of appetite (Didn't care to even get his name but old cranky scrawny guy with glasses) Also wanted to add that I don't ever record or do yelp reviews unless they are positive but this was such a horrible experience that I hope I can prevent anyone else from having. read more

The only reason I come back here is for Amanda the bartender on Tuesday. She has a wonderful personality. Hilariously funny! Great service! Absolutely the best!!! She's the only reason I visit on Tuesday after work. read more

Dude cut us off cause I told him he didn't know how to make a drink correct! I'm sorry but if you're a bar tender learn how to make a drink! Or take criticism when you don't make something right! read more

With Brittany and Will KJing it's always a good time. Mike the bartender is really cool and a great bartender! Kareokee was so fun. Great vibe will be back! read more

I'm sorry but if I'm going to pay to get drunk the last thing I want to do is inhale the stench of human feces the entire time. What bar has carpets as flooring? I'll tell you what one, ONE FROM THE 70's. I can't imagine how much barf, blood, and sweat these floors has seen. Could be why this places smells worse than a pound that hasn't been seen by humans in 3 months. The prices are high as hell, like I'm going to sit here and drink a 9$ vodka soda in a chair that's ripped in half? NO. Beside all that the staff is wonderful. They are truly good people who I love being around. And that's why I'm here. But if the owner knew anything she would lower her prices or upgrade her damn bar!! This place is beat. read more

Let me qualify my five stars. YES it's divey, YES it's pretty gross, YES the crowd can be dicey, but, yes yes yes. Sometimes the grossest, diviest placest are some of the most fun. When I lived in Yorba Linda and used to come to TJ's like every night, my cousin jokingly nicknamed me "The T.J. Hooker" on account of how many times I left my car in the parking lot to walk home. Yeah, I was going through some stuff, don't judge me! The bartender was always a super nice guy, and totally kept his cool over a lot of things that he really had every right to be a jerk about. If you're looking for a completely unpretentious place to mingle with characters, this is it. read more

Best dive bar in Yorba Linda/Placentia! Cheap pool tables, too. Erin is an amazing bartender even in a mask.

Great guys! Let us in last minute for our birthday girls last drink of the night! Mike took care of us! Thank you Mike! **2 pool tables and lots of room for plenty of people read more

Love this place and love ALL the bartenders!! Chasa, SJ, Alexis, Johnny, Mike, and Erin are so awesome! Aways such a great time with them!
