One Double Oh Seven Club & Smoking Parlor

I liked that they had pinball, foosball, pool darts etc. The staff seemed nice enough. But the overall style of the place wasn't my taste. It's was sports bar like and the lights were far too bright. Though I like to smoke on occasion it turns out even with their efforts at keeping the place well ventilated it still bugs my respiratory system to be around that much smoke.

I am a fan of this place. Shuffle board~foozball~Darts~Pool~Music~ Locals. I warn you though, its a smoking bar and from the sounds of it, one of the only legal ones in california. So you can be sure people will be smoking indoors. Pretty good ventilation though. At first it looks dive bar-ee but after a couple drinks, it feels like home. I would recommend this place if you are just going somewhere to hang out and chat with friends while playing some good bar games. Plus there is a taqueria  right across the street :)

Been going to this place like 5+ years now since the Feds moved me into Santa Cruz's W.P.P. (and after stealing it from an Ex-girlfriend)...

Getting right to the point, It's simply a great old skool legal smoking neighborhood bar with the amazing staff of Jeff, Rob, Duane, Vinnie, Katie, Eddie, Val, Kelly & Kathryn, catering to a very diverse and cool local 20's-30's crowd.

She offers three pool tables with decent pool cues (unlike those pieces of driftwood you find in other bars), "Free" (my immigrant Father's favorite word) steel tipped (real) darts & five dartboards/lanes, Free shuffleboard, Free video trivia, TVs everywhere and a jukebox that literally plays EVERYTHING. So if you're like me and you judge a bar on it's eclectic mix of music... This is home. I've literally heard everything in this bar 'cept maybe Mongolian Throat Singing...

Do not take any of the previous "health & welfare" posts seriously as it's a safe place under the eagle eyes of their veteran staff and bar regulars. Issues here are a very rare event as the bar self polices. Douchebags and "ne'er do wells" (both foreign & domestic) are quickly and unceremoniously asked to slink bag from whence they came.

So in summation, If you like your bars dim, Your beer cold, Your drinks strong, Your staff attractive & friendly (with their attitude/sarcasm levels set at "low" unless they know you and you tip lousy... {I said I was Sorry}) then this is the place for you, be you a local, a smoker, pool player, real (steel tip) dart player, drinker, party person, sports fan (Yes even the occasional Dodger or N.Y. Giants fan is welcome even tho' this is a Giants, A's, Niners, Sharks and sometimes Raiders bar), Nascar fan (during certain shifts), pirate, ninja, cowboy, cowgirl, winning coed softball team, hipster, hippy, tourist, blue collared folk, white collared folk, all veterans, surfers, retirees, food critics, rockabillies, rockabetties, trustafarians, tired bikers, the occasional off duty cop, people going to a show at the Rio, people coming from a show at the Rio, soccer players, teamsters, construction workers, contractors, patriots, tattoo artists, lawyers, millionaires, hundredaires (like me), friends and the occasional former New Yorker like me...

One more thing, IMHO Duane the bartender, who works Friday to Monday days, makes the best Bloody Marys in the county.
