Captain's Chest Cocktail Lounge

Now this bar rocks!

I'm really not a bar person at all anymore, however, after mine and my friends not so good experience over at The Roundup in Lafayette, we had to make up for it by going to a place that might just put a smile on our face and this place did just that : )

I drive by this place all the time when I make my weekly visit to Trader Joes, and it's always had my curiosity. It could be the name or the sort of hidden, secretive like location, but whatever it was, it had me and my friend curious enough to check it out.

Small and very Captains chest like, I can certainly see how it got its name. There is minimal natural lighting in there and its quite small and run down as if portraying the feel of being in the bottom of a ship...which is kinda of cool I suppose.

I forget the bartender's name working this Sunday when we were there, but he was flipping awesome! Nice younger guy-great sense of humor, totally lightened mine and my friends day. There were also some apparent really nice locals in there that we chatted with and which we really got some good laughs in with...much needed.

They don't have any beers on tap and it is cash only, but it looks like they're equipped with just about everything else.

Overall, this is the kinda place that reminds me of Cheers- It's a nice little hole in the wall equipped with good people ( from what we encountered) They have karaoke on Wednesdays and Saturdays, a jukebox and decent amount of seating considering how small it is. The only downfall is they only accept cash, however, I believe they are equipped with all the necessities in order to make your concoction of choice.

Great, fun bar, and If I ever plan on going back to a bar again, this will be the place.

Best bar in concord!!! Great owner!!! So much fun!!!

Why is it so insanely bright in this place?!?  Why are last call lights on when it's not last call?!
My most descriptive word would just be WEIRD.
As you can see from other reviews, I try out a lot of dives.   This isn't really a dive, but it's not fancy or sporty either. It's like a living room at your friends house where they forgot to turn off the 100w track lights and let the annoying friend stay who innappropriately touches you.
This bar may exist only because there aren't really any other bars in the area.
Jameson's & Ginger $7.75 (flat ginger ale)
Jäger bomb $8
Kinda high for dive bar prices.
It's one high point, it's clean and smells nice.
Probably wouldn't come back.  If you're wanting to make a move into an actual dive bar scene, this could be preschool.
Just strange.
