The Locals are friendly once they get to know you.
I met my co-workers there one day after work and the owner bought us our first Round of drinks plus gave us a free Supor Bowl t-shirt. We had a blast!
The front room can get smokey but I like the back room by the dart boards and the patio. Good selection of beers at good prices. All the bartenders have been female and friendly.
This place has dartboards, pools tables, popcorn and indoor smoking. The bar tenders are really nice. I don't really like where it is located because the bums hang outside and get money from you then walk inside and drink. It's pretty annoying. just standing in there for a couple minutes, makes your clothes smell really bad of cigarettes. If you don't smoke, it'll be pretty hard to stand it.
Review Source:I GIVE THIS PLACE A THUMBS DOWN AND NO STARS BUT IF IT MAKES ME RATE IT (it does), Â THEN 1 IT WILL GET. Â "JUST BECAUSE OF THE BARTENDER"
The bartender screams and yells at people in an INAPPROPRIATE manner. I know if your kicking someone out, you gotta kick them out. But otherwise the WAY you do it reflects the business and the owner.
This guy outside tried to ask me money to pay for a taxi to get back home.
His taxi had just left when I got there, so I told him to call another taxi and come get me, Â He then went to go ask some guy inside for a ride. (I would have given the money to either the taxi or the guy inside the bar. NOT the man) The bartender started screaming at him to get out.
I tried to calm her down from all that yelling because that was completely not right the way she was treating people. Â Ialso wanted to ask her a question and a request so that I can help this guy, but MAN this lady just started yelling at me and continues screaming at him to leave and then turns to me to scream at me and because I'm trying to calm her down she tells me "YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE, YOU NEED TO LEAVE!"
I explained to her that her behavior was inappropriate and I need a manager. She states  (really screams)  "I am the manager!" when I ask for the owner. I didn't get an answer out of her. It was my birthday and man to be treated with bad service can tick a customer off on any other day. BUT ON YOUR BIRTHDAY?!?!?!?!? man.
She asks me why did I come there. I told her I wanted to play pool but because I wasn't going to buy drinks she wanted me out too.
All this happened within 5 minutes. Service is horrible, I guess it's what the owners and the workers do to a business to make it look good or look bad.
I went to the Britisher bar this past Saturday night (March 2011) with one of my best friends.. I asked the bartender girl for a glass of water & she charged me $2.50. Then after I drank the glass of water, I asked her for a free refill & in a REALLY mean, mean, mean nasty way she said "NO". So she first charges me $2.50 for a glass of faucet water & then wont even let me have a free refill of water. She was soooo mean & nasty to me! But the thing is, I didn't even do anything wrong! I was very nice & polite to her! So I dont know why she was being so mean & rude to me for? She was an older lady with blond hair..
Review Source:This bar opens at 6am, so it gets 4 stars by default. Â It's laid back, and they have an internet jukebox with every song you can think of, except for jazz tunes. Ask the bartender for a Tequila Mockingbird, a Britisher original which does not contain any tequila. Only weak point, Sean Hannity playing on the TV, and not for ironic reasons.
Review Source:I'm finally reviewing this joint having lived in the Antelope Valley (or the A/V as the locals call it) for the last year. Of all the dive bars I've been to in the area, I like this one the best.
Obviously, the main reason to go to these hole-in-the-wall places is for their lax smoking rules. To actually go to a bar in Southern California and be able to drink and SMOKE and interact with your fellow man & lady without having to brave the weather. Bah! If I wanted to go outside & socialize, I'd stay home and yell at kids to stay the hell off my lawn.
But I digress... this place fancies itself as a British pub, though there's hardly any actual Queen's English being spoken here.
They have the obligatory jukebox, darts and pool tables, as well as regular DJ's and karaoke on select nights. The one night I was there, I swear the karaoke host was Ron Jeremy's lost twin. Dunno if that's a good thing or not...
They've also got multiple t.v.'s as well to view sports and whatever else.
The barmaids are friendly enough and mix a mean drink. Tip them well, and they'll keep 'em flowing for you until last call.
Good place to hang with a group and chill, or else engage in some drunken conversation with a new best friend. Plus if you need some comfort food to fill your belly & soak the booze up, there's a McDonald's and IHOP nearby.
I give their White Russians/ambiance 8-painted toes out of ten.
