Rush Inn

Sometimes, you need a dive bar. When you are looking for that, you can't find a friendlier one. The night time staff are impeccable, the perfect combination of service and attitude.(Well ventilated) Indoor smoking and incoherent drunks mingle with UCSC students and local hipsters. A wonderful atmosphere to engorge yourself in a glorious selection of whiskeys while chatting it up with the locals and/or watching whatever the heck must-see sports game happens to be on. Love it!

This is a fantastic establishment through and through. The bartenders are cool and the drinks are great. Fantastic Irish car bombs. Nate is the man! One of the best dive bars in town.

(Warning: There can unfortunately be a rush of hipsters)

This bar seems like a fun dive that I could enjoy. There was a friendly bartender and all different kinds of people to meet.
But I just couldn't get over the cigarette smoke! I'm not a smoker and the entire room was filled with smoke and poorly ventilated. I was trying to chug my beer as fast as I could so I could get out of there and breathe again. It's great that there's a place for smokers to enjoy. But can we get some windows please?
