The Quill Lounge

Small decent bar, My drink was great! Very packed on the evening that I was there. Lots of kewl local people just having a good night out ... Plus the free pop-corn was yummy too, Lol ...

WOW! I mean, seriously. Just. Wow. This dive bar is as awesome as they come. Friendly crowd, staff, and environment. Random coin games as well as CA Lottery PowerBall made the cheaply priced drinks even more fun. Definitely a place I'd go back to when time permits.

The Quill Lounge was a part of the "D-Tour" (Dive bar tour) that my Yelper-In-Crime, Lili H., and I went on fairly recently and this one was our first stops.

I'm a big fan of dive bars, so why does The Quill Lounge only get the "A-OK' 3 stars rating from me?  

Well, before I get into all that,  you should get an idea of what the place is like.  As soon you walk in the bar begins and goes about half way down through the bar.   I liked the bar set up, along with the friendly bartender who never seemed to stop smiling (a good thing).  It's a small dive bar, but appears like it could still strategically sit about 25-30 people.

I liked the decor of the place and the Laker banners didn't hurt either.  The old-time cash register was a cool thing to behold too.

They didn't have any beer on tap; that was a big disappointment.  Secondly, the locals sitting by the entrance were smoking one cigarette after another.  I don't mind a little smoke, but there were copious amounts of it the day we came here.  

It's smack in the middle of two super markets shopping centers, Albertsons and Superior.  So if you are heading West on 17th and pass Superior Market, you've passed The Quill.  If you are heading East on 17th Street (towards the 55 Freeway) and you pass Albertsons, you've gone too far and you need to flip a b*tch.  Haha.

Not a bad experience.  But no one can replace my favorite dive bar, which is only a couple lights away from this one........
