Crystal Cove

Last stop on our lovely crawl.  Drinks were strong, dive bars know how to do it! The music was not my favorite the random mix of chaos and when I went up the dj pointed to something on the wall. Shows how often he gets complaints I suppose it's easier to just point at something on the wall.

That's ok we went a long with the bad music to get through to the good music.  A few pool tables and of course stripper poles.  Ha ha ha I did not make good use of the stripper poles sorry.  I did have fun with the group though Thanks guys!

I tried this place a few times since its less then a 2 minute walk from my house, I dont mind dive bars...but this one is small, feels damp inside and it stinks. Smells like they let people smoke inside when the place is closed or something....super dark also. I always ended up going across the street to Salty Frog's.

Gotta say, I like this place.
I've been told there is a new owner and he cleaned the place up a lot.
It was way better than the last time I was there. Fresh paint, clean tables, good in all the ways a small bar should be.
Prices were reasonable and the juke box was solid.
It's a nice place to stop off after the beach.
It would have been 5 stars, but the night parking on the side street with no street lights sketched me out. Not the bar's fault, just me wanting lots of lit parking for my new truck.
