Five Points Bar

The diviest of dives.  This bar is located at a five point stop intersection (hence the name) but it is within walking distance from our house too.  We decided that on a random Sunday night, we would hit it up because we were looking for a little adventure.  Armed with fake names and a fist full of cash, we entered the bar and saw a very mixed age range of patrons and a lady selling...tamales?  I did not ask, but I only assume.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the NFL Network airing the Charger pre-season game (and this was one that was blacked out for airing during game time) and the jukebox was pretty amazing (White Zombie then some dance stuff was played).  There are a few pool tables and the patrons seem to want to play seriously.  We saw a lot of people with their own cues.   The drinks are very well priced and there is a lot to do here, so it is pretty cool.

The patrons were pretty chill, but if you are looking to find a date for the night, steer clear of here.  We were definitely among the grizzly regulars.  But I did not find this place scary at all.  If you want a quick drink and want to be among a crowd, this place is not that bad.

Decent little place... don't be scared off by the shifty-looking people milling about outside. The bartender was friendly, in a genuine way (as opposed to the "fill my tip jar" way). Good drinking music on the jukebox, and a very diverse crowd. I'll be going back for a second shot... I may ammend this review after that visit...

This place is one of those nice classic bars and it seems like this little bar really pulls in a nice crowd of people when the nightlife kicks up in Escondido.

This place is set with a jukebox, little television bar games where you play some silly games, a television to play some kind of lottery game on, darts and three pool tables in the back for all the people to keep entertained. Also, this place has flat screen television paying different sports stuff and the news.

The bar also has running fans to keep the place super cool. All the other hot bars out there, remember, RUNNING FANS MAKE FOR HAPPY DRINKERS!!!!
