This place gets a FIVE on my dive bar rating for a number of reasons: great atmosphere. Lots of derelicts. Some old timer named Chuck bought a round for the bar- twice! Very sketchy atmosphere. And lastly- two people got 86éd out of there in my two hour visit! Dive bar heaven in Hayward!
Review Source:If you want to have your own true Bukowsky experience, it is likely to happen here. Â It can be depressing and a bit dodgy seeming if you aren't used to really dicey bars... And maybe even if you are. Â I have a high threshold, but even I would not hang around here late at night. Â You won't find cheaper, stiffer drinks, but at one point I felt as if I were in a lunatic asylum. Â If there were a "divey as hell" classification on yelp, I would've checked it.
Review Source:What a shitty bar. Â Bartender was either pilled out or tweaked out. Â Was dark and hard to tell. Â Not enough teeth amongst the regulars to chew a steak. Â Was difficult to tell if I was in a soup kitchen or a dive bar. Â Even by dive bar stand, this place is a shithole. Â And I really like dive bars. Â Oh well. Â In a pinch before a movie, maybe I stop in and have a shot, Â Otherwise, I give this place a big miss!
Add on: Â And do not look up because there is dust, spiderwebs and other crap on the ceiling. Â Has not been cleaned in years I would imagine.
The best part about this place is the stories I always walk out with. I always order the same drink and each bartender reacts differently to the order. Some of the staff are friendly and other are indifferent. The price is always a little different, as is the pour.
It's one of those real bars -- no nonsense. No fancy bourbon (just JB) ... Stoli/Sky is their best vodka. It's a place to get your domestic drink on.
The local characters that hang out there are almost always wasted. I probably wouldn't feel comfortable alone in this bar -- but every person I take in there is always entertained.
Overall -- I dig it. It's not fancy -- but it's colorful.
I had a lot of hope for this place. You walk in, it's dark and there are mugs hanging from the ceiling (so cute). We went here for a Giants playoff game.
The beer is cheap, the liquor is super cheap, and there is a pool table towards the back of the bar.
But the bar itself feels really local. Which can be fun, as long as you don't mind feeling like you're the only people who don't know everyone in the bar.
We might come back for pool and cheap drinks.
Stopped by for one beer on a thursday afternoon and then hustled out. Very few people but really loud and distracting conversations from those other 5 locals at the bar. The sierra nevada was $5. For a dive bar, seemed like a buck too much. I'm in no rush to go back. Looked empty from the outside. The neon lights were not lit.
Review Source:Super dive. it's a super chill place to have a drink, though.
The bartenders are simple and no-nonsense, and the drinks are average. Several TVs, pool tables, and a juke box adds to the atmosphere. Im sure I'll find myself bak here again.
Can't forget the awesome ceiling full of steins!!!! Thats definitely one of the coolest things about the bar.
Definitely a dive bar. If you put all the regulars together, you might not even have a full set of teeth. They take care of the place, though, and the place pretty much stays drama-free.
The alcohol selection is a little lacking - You won't find Hennessy or Hypnotiq here - but in my experience, the people that drink garbage alcohol are the ones that cause problems.
There are four TVs that get just about every sports channel, a juke box that can pull just about any song off the internet and a pool table that plays itself. (Kidding about the last part for you dense people.)
The prices went up a bit recently, but they are still more than reasonable. Usually a good place to go if you just want to chill.
A hooker,a rabbi and a scientist walk into a bar...............No,seriously, this is the kind of dive bar that an actual hooker,rabbi and scientist would all feel equally at home drowning their sorrows and pickling their livers to the steady backbeat of classic rock pouring out of the kickass jukebox.Cheap drinks,cheap women,cheap thrills,cheap trick on the juke box,good times.................priceless memories of me puking in the middle of the street after the raiders lost the superbowl back in 2003.
Review Source:If you want a dive this is it. Mostly regulars that come through. I live up the street and go by often.
Like sports? AT the core this is a Raider bar, but when it's not football season this is a GREAT place to watch the San Jose Sharks!
At least 2 TVs on at any given time with anything from WWE or UFC to NASCAR or FMX. One night they even had a Yo-Yo championship on. Anything sports they said, just tell 'em what channel.
$1 on the jukebox gets you 4 songs, anything from Frank Sinatra or Hank Williams Sr, to Metallica, Aerosmith, Journey, Feetwood Mac and more. Pool table is only $.50 and an they have an electric dartboard to top it off.
$1.75 drafts of bud or miller, $2.50 if you want bottles. House drinks are only $3.75 and a call liquor starts at $5.50. (Pssssst... The night bartenders have a nice heavy hand.)
The patrons are cool, its the ones that loiter out front and across the street that are bothersome with the cigarette requests
Wouldn't want to be here during an earthquake with all those steins on the ceiling. Â Overheard the bartender saying someone was stabbed out in front the night before. Â Saw a tweeker lady-of-the-night sit at a table, pull a curling iron out of her bag, and proceed to PLUG IN her curling iron and start doing her hair - like it was an everyday occurence??? WTF? Â Extra star for the stories alone. Â Some real characters here, to say the least.
Review Source:I can see how most may not like it, but a dive that has beer by the half pitcher ($4.50 and perfect if you have the next day off and don't feel like drinking a sixer at home in front of the TV), a TV permanently set to sports, and a jukebox that, on most nights, has Metallica vying for time with Stevie Ray Vaughn and George Strait is always ok in my book.
Cheap drinks, a big TV with cable, and the ability to bring in Pizza House. Â It's like drinking at your buddies house, with more weirdos for color.
an older anglo american clientele imbibes here. this drinkery is a friendly hole in the wall with tv, jukebox, a pool table and an affable bartender.
the drafts available are draft bud, mgs(1.75-2.50) trumer pils? Â (4.50)
an attraction is the hundreds of "steins"-european beer mugs strung across the ceiling. reminds me of my youth with all the empty beer bottles and wine jugs strung around my room.
nice ambience for a quiet drink  amongst the locals, they are very friendly.
