I have lived in Crockett for seven years, & have been in Club Tac a few times, & had an OK time, nothing to write home about. Last night my friend & I decided to go out & have a drink, it was a Sunday evening, & the Golden Globes were on. So we walk in, & there are about ten lifeless, (some overly drunk) patrons, who stared at us with unwelcoming eyes. The bartender, took ten minutes to serve us, & she was the rudest bitch I have ever met. She had no personality, she was rude, & acted like it was a friggin hassle to pour me a beer, & make a mudslide. She never once smiled or welcomed us. So we shrugged our shoulders & turned our attention the the big screen tv, & started commenting on the actors, & chatting with each other, & every time I looked up, I kept getting mean stares from this has been alcoholic wench across the way, who was having a loud convo w/ the bartender. So 15 minutes go by, & the bartender then aims the remote at the tv, & mutes the Golden Globes! How friken rude!!! So I took my last swallow of my beer, & said "let's get the f outta here! My friend through a dollar down, & let the tender know that it was for the drink not for the service! We felt so unwanted there. I will never step foot in there EVER!!! The bartender is a short, plain, 40ish white woman, with a dual colored blonde/ brown bob hairdo. Real Winner!! NOTTTTT!!!!
Review Source:Conversation between Crockett and Tubbs about Club Tac in Crockett.
Crockett: "Tubbs, you ever heard of Club Tac?"
Tubbs: "Of course, Sonny. It's a little place in Crockett. Like your last name. Dig it."
Crockett: "Aw, yes. Great place. Friendly barkeeps. Stiff drinks. Clean for a dive. I remember it fondly."
Tubbs: "Yeah, and we played all that overly synthesized new wave music on the jukebox."
Crockett: "Yeah, the locals didn't seem too keen on that salmon-colored T-shirt I paired with a blinding white sport coat and pants, but they were nice."
Tubbs: "It reminds me of a place in Miami, a dive full of vice."
Crockett: "Didn't we fill three Cuban cocaine dealers full of lead in that place?"
Tubbs: "That's Tac, baby. That's Tac."
I am a Crockett.  Club Tac was my Grand Father's hangout. I had not been in the place in 30 years!  When I visited my home town I saw that Club Tac was still open, so I walked in.  The new owner kept the old place looking about the same. It is still a small town bar. Very friendly   This is a great place!
Review Source:Woodaly-woot, I heart Club Tac... and shame on me for forgetting how awesome this little dive is until yesterday, when between funerals (I know I know-it was a shite day) my brother says "I need booze now!" Enter Club Tac, serving up the best spicy bloody mary EVER! No joke, only truth.
Being that I fancy myself a dive bar aficionado, this place is tops. Bartenders rule and regulars are beyond friendly. So if you dig the dive vibe, friendly folks, small town chillin' and find yourself in this neck of the woods go there- for serious.
Crockett is the home of C&H Sugar factory and the last bastion of the wild west in the east bay...maybe. Â Unincorporated town, it has no law..in town at least. Â If you're an outsider, you WILL be noticed. Club Tac is a bar and a restaurant, and the center of Crockett "culture". Â For many years it was a working class Italian enclave, and a few old timers remain, one of whom I met for a drink yesterday. Â I walk in, looking obviously out of place and ask what they have on tap or by the bottle....I strike out on my first 2 selections, so I settle for a pale ale on tap. Â 2 guys at the bar volunteer that I'll probably like that choice. Â OK...they haven't killed me yet. Â Then my 80 yr. old buddy walks in and a bunch of old timers greet him like their long lost brother. Â I've known him since he was in his 50's, and he's remarkably the same. Â Now I'm in like Flynn. Â The restaurant starts to fill up, since it's Mexican Night, and the food is plentiful. Â The town drunk walks in and picks our table to harass, since he recognizes my friend. Â I let it go for about 10 minutes before I ask him to let me finish chatting before I have to go, and he complies. Â It's easy to see why this place it a great place to congregate. Â Could be a gold mine if the Yelper HH crowd discovers it...no BART station nearby though. Crockett trivia: Â back in the '50's , the town constable (cop) went with a buddy to a Hollywood audition for a movie. Â The friend didn't get the part, but the cop did...his name: Aldo Ray, who starred with Tracy and Hepburn in Pat and Mike.
