Ok. Lets be honest, and lets call a spade a spade. This bar is a late night staple, last stop kinda place.
We live close by so its comforting to know we have less than a mile to get home, so if we get TOTALLY JACKED out of our minds, we can walk home if need be.
I've never had issues with non-friendly folks here, but I've seen some fights, so obviously people arnt fans of everyone. This is a bit of a rowdy crowd, but what do you expect, if you can come to a bar in freakin sweat pants and not feel underdressed.
Like I said before, its a last stop. The drinks are STRONG and CHEAP ($4 bucks for a well whiskey that seems to be 2.5 oz)
We keep coming back (but not expecting anything but to get drunk) haha.
Been coming to this bar since I was 21. Â It is a complete shit hole but a great place to play darts, pool, cheap drinks and have a good time. Â This would be my first option if I wanted to chill out and drink. Â The crowd is from young to your old local alcoholics. Â Overall cool dive bar
Review Source:Horrible bar, small hole in the wall, not very much room to walk in, one small dirty bathroom with no toilet paper, one pool table that you have to wait forever for. This bar was recommended by a co-worker, so some of my co-workers and I went to check it out, only to have the country band call us "Negros" on the mic, Wow! I have never experienced such racism in my life, as far as we have come in America it's sad that people like that will continue to try and hold us back. I will no longer spend My money at this bar, nor any of my co-workers and I will continue to spread the word.
Review Source:The other comments about this being a "5 star dive bar" make me laugh, but are very accurate! Â This is not a fancy bar that you want to take a date too to impress. Â This is the bar you want to go to when you want to have a stiff drink and hang out with friends. Â Pool tables, juke box, several tvs, and a long bar to enjoy the atmosphere. Â The bartenders are very friendly and know how to pour a strong drink!
Review Source:5 Star DIVE BAR says it all.
This bar is where i began my drinking "career" and I'd have had it no other way. Â Good prices on drinks, i think it was like 5 or 6 bucks a pitcher 5 years ago, not sure now, Haven't been in a while, but now that I'm back in the Pomona Claremont area again I plan i frequenting. Look out, here i come!!
The bar is a great place, The one bartender that worked serving away from the bar  is a very beautiful that just adds to the place, I'm from the south so this place is not a normal Californian bar.  People in California have a awkward view of what a bar should be. A bar should be where people are friendly. I give this bar a A+++. This bar has real people who are the working class of the USA. I saw no problem with this place at all .The new jukebox is great, you can pick a song from anywhere. Also they have a few pool tables and a screened in somkin area so you don't have to look homeless while smoking.
Review Source:20 years ago would have been 5 stars. Â I like what Blair M said about this place... 5 star dive bar, not 5 star bar. Â This place is down n dirty, alcoholics galore, condom machines in the bathroom, pool tables in the back, Juke Box- Used to be really good now just so/so. Â I love the bar stools very comfy. Â Blues Sunday new thing, hmmm. This is my favorite Dive Bar in the Upland / Rancho / Chino area.
Review Source:This is a 5 star dive bar. Â Not a 5 star bar. Â BIG difference.
A 5 star bar makes a killer Manhattan. Â A 5 star dive bar has to be told how to make a Manhattan.
The former has bouncers to keep the riff raff out. Â The latter has only riff raff for patrons.
You get the idea.
I think my fondest memory of this bar was getting into a fight one night before I ever even made it inside. Â It's just that kind of place.
this was one of my stops after trick or treating on halloween night cause my friend and i just wanted to grab a drink.
i feel as though they have a decent selection here, just the basics... nothing too fancy, but not THAT bad...
i asked for a gobstopper, and our kind bartender didnt know how to make it.. .and she suggested something else that 'tastes just like it' .. .. srry but it didnt.. it tasted like Robitussin -_- but at least it wasnt a weak drink, i suppose.. .. it was now that my friend informs me that theyre not known for 'yummy' drinks, but rather just cheap alchy that gets you the buzz... teheehee
we also got the flaming dr. pepper, which has mainly beer, a lil kahlua, a lil amaretto, rootbeer schnapps, and a tinny bit of 151 to light it on fiiireee!! i dont think our kind bartender put in enough, cause we had trouble lighting it.. .. nevertheless it was still yummmy just like a dr. pepper!!!!!!!!!! LOL :)
i will definitely come back when i just wanna chill and get a drink, but i wont be expecting anything faannccy!!
Came here with friends to play some pool and have a drink. Â I was able to have both pretty easily and I was satisfied.
Hi Brow is your standard dive. Â Its set way back in a shopping center. Â When all the other businesses are closed, the place looks deserted and it took a few extra minutes to find the bar. Â Drinks were cheap. Â It was $5 for a snake bite. Â The pool tables are only $1 a game, which is a nice change from the more expensive places that charge by the hour. Â Bring quarters though!
A few negatives...the bartending wasn't too consistent. Â Service was great and she was very friendly and attentive. Â The drinks were just a little hit-and-miss. Â There's only one triangle and you have to go looking for it when you rack up another game. Â The music can get pretty loud sometimes too. Â If I wanted to shout to talk to people, I'd go to a club. Â
All-in-all, Hi Brow is an alright place to spend some time.
When I first walked in it seemed empty but that all changed in like 2min. Very fun atmosphere, sometimes they have a local band come play very entertaining. They have a good bartender's, nice pool tables, a digital poker game machine, and a few other unique games.. Highly recommend you try it out..
Review Source:Great bar. Stiff drinks. Even better when you tip well. Summer (Sadie) is not there anymore so I must decline. I don't know what she did to get fired but she was awsome and the heart of the place. Also got to love how the owners daughter is always bringing in some new talent in the Local minor league Baseball players or Hocky players for a hook-up.. Too bad no more Summer because that was always fun to watch. If you do get pulled in you will be amused to say the least.
Review Source:Talk about a total dive! I didn't know it as a fresh-faced 21-year-old college kid, but the times I came here were my early induction into dive bar life. Hi Brow is dark and has mostly small (2-4 person) high-up tables, as well as the loud music and cheap, strong drinks you'd expect at a divey place. The crowd is very mixed and laid back enough that anyone can fit in here, and the bartenders are pretty friendly. If you go in expecting a dive bar experience and not a fancy bar, you'll probably be happy with Hi Brow.
My main complaint is that Hi Brow seems to allow smoking. The bar was big and aired out enough that it didn't completely ruin my experiences here, but it definitely detracted from it.
Been here like 5 times over the last year. Typical dive bar is typical.
The alcohol is cheap and the people range from quirky to strange, and there's always a mixture of age groups in the crowd, from your college students to your old timers who are always ready to pop out a story.
The waitress' are nice and so are the bar tenders. The atmosphere is ick and the bar is tucked way back in the center, but despite the way it looks on the inside the neighborhood is pretty clean (take my word for it, I live here). Located next to a few fast food joints so if you're looking for a kick back place with friends and you're local, this is the place to go.
It's a dive bar. Â Take it for what it is. Â The bartenders are cool. Â People smoke in there and you will leave there smelling like a human ash tray. Â They do have stuff on tap you wouldn't think they have (ie: cider, Guinness, Newcastle...) . Â They have 5 pool tables, darts, golf and bowling arcade games. Â Bring cash because if you use a credit card, there is a $2 sur-charge.
Review Source:This bar is indeed as good as it gets -- on its own terms. It's a dive bar. It's not expensive. It's not fancy. It's not a place to take the in-laws or anyone you want to impress (on conventional terms). Â This will horrify most of you -- it lets people smoke.
But it's got a happy vibe, and it's also got tons of character. It has an interesting mix of college kids, 40-year-old partyers, "Grease" era wanna-bes, urban toughs, darts and pool players, sports fans, etc. It has an unusually eclectic jukebox. The main bartender, Adam, is mellow, funny, cool, smart, just a great guy.
If you'd rather go to TGIF, good for you. But if you're interested in a downscale version of "Cheers" crossed with a rowdy college pub, give the Brow a chance. And if you get three bulls-eyes in one round playing darts, you get a free shot.
Wow, this place did a 180, used to be a shithole, now its pretty cool
(Old Review)I've gone here because my friends like it, why i dont know, I hate it,. Â Simple as that, i dont like cigarette smoke, I dont like bad service....wait, horrible service, I dont like the crowd, everyone seems stand-offish, not my place
It took them over 10 minutes to serve a beer when they werent busy, we were standing right in front of the bartender, yethe would serve people behind us or on the other side...???? wtf? Â my friend later told me they definately play favorites...no problem, i simply will never go back
Dude, ALL of my friends have been kicked out of this place. They have darts (not those stupid old school cork boards you can't even play on without endangering your girlfriend's eye, the real ones, the plastic ones that are electronic and have sounds) and when it's packed, you can't walk 5 feet without getting to cop a feel on some sleazy college girl's ass. This place is raw, natural, gnarly Claremont and after I graduated from Claremont High, I sucked down so many shots of booze with my friend Matt that he stopped talking to anyone after a while. He'd just sit at a stool over near the corner and mumble or growl every once in a while. They call it the Hi Brow because you're like, Holy shit, are you kidding me?? The Hi Brow is like your favorite grandma who's senile and drools all the time but is totally entertaining because she gets wasted and flashes her saggy boobs during Thanksgiving Dinner. And you might even get laid!
Review Source:I hate to admit I came here way too much while I was in college. Â Great place to go when you want to enjoy cheap drinks and smokes in the company of friends.
This place is way better than the Pomona location, although in Pomona you might be lucky enough to have that dirty old man sitting at the bar buy you a drink... and if he scares you too much by staring at you all night, then you always have the option of running across the street to Friar Tucks!
