  The name says it all.  This is a true dive bar but it is one of the best. This is always a must stop on our "crawl".  Friendly describes the employees no matter how tough they act.....lol.  We have been stopping in for a number of years now and always have a great time.  Located steps from the boardwalk it is a great place to start.  Go in, have a few cold ones and make the bartenders ring the bell.  They appreciate it for sure.  They also have a small area for take home purchases and as stated their merchandise.  Oh and if you're not into beer, try their orange crushes.......not bad...not bad at all!

  Unless you are a local biker who wants to be wasted at 10am, AVOID this place like the plague. We stopped by after a visit on the boardwalk for a drink and were immediately unwelcomed. Several locals told us we couldn't stand at the bar to order a drink. "Hey, move over-that's my buddy's spot" was a repeated phrase. Are we seriously in high school?

  Complete hole-in-the-wall, knock down, divey bar by the off pier of the boardwalk. Come in for a pint. It's Harley Heaven and a biker bar, but there's not THAT many unless it's bike week (I think it's end of summer-ish). Little rough and tumble, but a true OC landmark.
  
  Recently, they started selling T-shirts and tanks. I'm sort of curious as to why, for years, they had no merchandise section with a name like that. For Pete's sake, 'Crabby Dick's' down the road in Rehoboth Beach practically sells more 'crudely witty' gear than they do food.

  (06/08/2011) Great divey bar in O.C., if you can get past the name. It's a locals kind of place. I honestly, as a non-white, female, visiting from the "City", was a little afraid.  There is definitely a redneck-y kind of vibe to it (maybe it was the NASCAR paraphernalia that tipped me off).  Our bartender was great though, very friendly (other patrons and the bouncer, not so much), and made us all sorts of delicious citrus drinks.  This is the reason to go here:  fresh squeezed juice.  Seriously, the best Orange Blossoms and Greyhounds EVER.

  Great bar! Very clean and had great prices.  Most of the bar tenders were friendly with the exception of  the younger Jersey Shore looking douche bag.

  Bad-Ass biker bar!  Hang out, get tanked, cruise the strip. Don't forgit to buy the shirt.  Been here more times than I can count.  I shoulda been the first to review this place.  Food's not bad either.

  Five stars for the name. When I was in college in Santa Cruz in the 1970's, there was a restaurant by the same name. Really.
  
  The graphic ain't bad either, huh?
