The Bar: Hard to find... there is no sign on the street and it's located in a strip mall. Kinda a weird set up out front, perhaps this location was once a liquor store. There is a taco dude at this location 6 days a week. Â Once inside, the room is long. L-shaped bar with around 30 bar stools and 2 service stations. Past the bar, there is a dance floor, where Karaoke takes place, a few table, a shuffleboard and 2 pool tables. I usually try to avoid bars that host Karaoke, but this wasn't so bad. It isn't obnoxiously loud, and the people actually knew how to sing. The bar is cluttered with dollar bills. Feel free to add your own, just ask the bartender for a sharpie and a staple gun, you provide the dollar. You can put it ANYWHERE in the bar. Look for ours... it has a DiveBar Culture sticker on in.
The Crowd: We arrived shortly after 8pm to find a hand full of locals and a gorgeous bartender whose name is Tamra. Once Karaoke kicked in, the place started filling up rather quickly. Definitely a local spot, but chill spot for sure.
Service: In the beginning it was quick, but as the night progressed and more patrons arrived, the slower the service got. The bar is quite long, and with one bartender on, it's quite a handful for her to handle.
Prices: $11.50 pitchers of PBR. $6.75 for a rather large shot of  Fireball.
Entertainment: 6 TV's, TouchTunes Jukebox, Karaoke, 2 pool tables, Shuffleboard, Golden Tee, Lottery Scratchers.
Restroom: Fabulous. Smelled good too. Very clean the entire night.
Closing statement: I recommend getting here around 10pm. Make it your ending bar. We had a great time. This is the local spot for my friends that I was visiting, so I am sure I will be back here again. I was told this is the best dive bar in Temecula, we hit 3 bars tonight and this was by far the best one. I highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area.
I've been coming here for a few years. Â It is what it is. Â A nice hole in the wall bar. Â Ive never had a problem here. Â The service is good and the karaoke of course is great. Â It may have a rough look but never had any complication with anyone. Â The people here are generally friendly and just here to have a good time.
Review Source:I I actually like this little bar. Everytime im down from Escondido visiting a friend we usually end up going her to at least start the night off. The drinks are cheap compared to the rest of the bars in Temecula and they do karaoke almost every night.
It has a warm feeling atmosphere. My only issue is the wait to do karaoke can be outrageous at times and they seem to give regulars priority to sing before the non regulars. Â
Yes its a dive bar; don't expect it it to be a huge night club or restaurant.
If you go into a place with high expectations you're gonna be let down. Â Drinks were reasonable, The Karaoke singers were all pretty good. Â (I've walked out of bars because I couldn't handle the screeching singers!) A fun lil neighborhood bar.
They have 2 pool tables, Shuffle board. Â Some cool patrons and some A$$e$. Â (but, what bar doesn't have a mixture?) Â
The bartender Todd (just joking) Â John was nice and kept the drinks flowing. Â The ID/Bouncer/Barback- was nice and kept busy whether it was helping keep the glasses cleaned up or pulling the poor drunk guy out of the ladies bathroom. Â
The guy making tacos outside came in before he closed down to make sure no one wanted to order anything before he closed. Â (I thought that was really nice)
I love to people watch- so I enjoyed all the visuals! LOL Â I didn't enjoy the drunk marines that thought it was classy to moon my friend and the karaoke host when she was signing and then for them to say some rude things like they earned the right. Â I appreciate you serving our country- Â But ya sure can't fix STUPID!!!! Â Â Hopefully, no one tells the dudes wife that he was going on and on about the only way he gets some is to get her drunk and hand-cuff her!!! Â
The drive home was reallllllllly a long one for me. Â So I'd go here again but, problably not as late.
ET's Classy Lounge is always fun!!! Â If you can put your hair down and leave your ego at the door, you will have a good time. Â Local place, NICE POURS and definitely friendly service, always a good time and some fun karaoke singing...This is your place. Â Yes, I'm a local and I always have fun here :-) Â You will definitely get a song in here!
Review Source:I was bummed that this place wasn't as awesome as I had hoped. The karaoke dude is creepy beyond words- watch out ladies, he will be caressing you and trying to kiss you within minutes. Not what I came for.
The owner Ross is rude, and does not make you feel welcome. I actually came back a few times hoping I came on an off night, and it was true every time. Â The drinks are priced fairly and made pretty well, so if you grab a drink and get out, it might be worth it.
The crowd is mostly moto bro/ hos or older men, which I also found to be a bummer.
I could have enjoyed this place.
But the people manning the shuffleboard and pool table were TOO INTENSE. It obviously depends on who is there, but they had some system worked out where only the winners would keep playing, and newcomers had to split up to take on the winners. I guess that's OK, but if you have 4 people and want to play doubles pool with the people you came with, than you may possibly have a hard time of it.
Other than that, there's plenty of bad karaoke, creepy old dudes who have been keepin' on truckin' a little too long, and disappointing well drinks to keep you entertained. And they'll also probably guarantee that you won't feel the urge to stay longer than expected. I also made the mistake of ordering a Stone PA, which turned out to be incredibly flat. Just order your Bud Light and try to wrangle the pool table away. It's an eclectic crowd but a good time can be had of it if you tilt your neck and squint your eyes a little.
were were at buffalo wild wings this sunday after 4 days of new years partying. Â we didnt think any bars would be crakin on a sunday in this are so we asked the waitress if she had any places she new that had a good crowd on a typical sunday. Â she mentioned this place and we check it out. Â its a small hole in the wall type of place. Â it has a shuffleboard and a pool table. Â we got their early on sunday and started drinking and playing songs from the juke box.. at first we were the only ones their but it quickly started getting bussy with a really cool crowd of different age groups and types of people. Â I had a good time despite the fact that I was the d.d and couldnt drink. Â thats a lot to say. eventually a dj set up shop and was playing all the right jams. Â the ladies started showing up and it turned out to be a good night. Â i will visit again.
Review Source:E.T.'s Sports Lounge... Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. Drinks Cheap and Strong, I believe they open at 6 in the morning, Karaoke like 4 days a week, they got pool AND AND AND Shuffle board, Clean bathrooms, its a divey looking dive bar by nature, its been there for years, and things collect dust, but ya always feel welcomed. The sound system is good, and its just the classic bar in Temecula, they recently changed owners, and they kinda livened the place up just a tad, took down some artifacts on the walls, but they didn't want to fix something that wasn't broken. Its that bar you can always rely on. Staff is friendly and inviting. Go here. ps. smoking, Â no large patio, just a couple of benches out front, and back door is open to smoke by the dumpsters, watch out for my pee.
Review Source:My friend just moved out to Temecula, and we decided to visit her. Coming from Orange County, we have awesome Karaoke places, and we found this one just down the street from her home. Â It wasn't the busy, but even with 8 people there, it was so much fun! Â The Bartenders are nice, cheap drinks, and people who stop in after work and just enjoy a nice small bar feel. Â The Karaoke host is great, I would drive from Orange County just to hang out here. Â Major Kudos to this little place
Review Source:I tried going here on Saturday night. It looks like an old little dive bar in a strip mall, I like those kind of places. The place looks like it could be pretty cool. I will have to try it out again when there isn't karaoke, as soon as we walked in, we left. I can't stand karaoke. I will give it another shot, unless they do karaoke every night.
