The Bar: The outside looks very divey and the inside, just as good. As my friends and I were looking for a bar to sing karaoke at, this one came to mind. We first checked it out Wednesday, however karaoke is only on weekends. We stayed a bit, caught a buzz, headed home, only to return Friday night with a larger crowd of friends.
      Walking in to this establishment, we were immediately noticed by the locals for being new. I wasted no time heading straight to the bar, where a rather tall, bald, gray-bearded, intimidating bartender stands. I was quick on the draw, with I.D., credit card, and business card in hand. I gave him the normal speech of what we do, and he was totally cool with us....from that point on, the rest of the night was pretty much a blur.
The Crowd: My first encounter with the crowd was a gentleman with more tattoos showing than skin, infact the only skin not tatooed was between his forehead and chin. He says to me, "you're DiveBar Culture, I found your business card in the bathroom, I used it as a crutch." Hey man, use it for whatever, at least you remembered us. Moving on, the 2nd encounter, an older gentleman, who could not wait to tell me of every single dive bar in Sac County, as to remain polite, I listed as he rapped of roughly 50, nice guy too. As for the rest of the crowd, well, they came with me.
Service: 1 bartender on, and us with a crowd of 10, it took a minute to get served, but once the 1st round came, the beers stayed full the whole night.
Prices: Half pitchers $5.00, double shots of Fireball $4.50. Pints of PBR $2.50.
Entertainment: 1 pool table, TouchTunes jukebox, Karaoke on weekends. 1 electronic dartboard.
Restroom: Not too shabby, I expected worse, but to my surprise, it was very clean, and smelled great.
Closing statement: We had a grand time here. Singing karaoke wasted always makes for hilarious entertainment. I will certainly come back to this spot for more drunken karaoke nights. If you're in the area, come on by for a beer. You won't be disappointed.

Picture this...Christmas eve and your spouse is out of town on business until the first of the year.  You are also new to this town and your entire family is in Southern California.  

What do you do?

Get drunk, I say!

My friend Gen and I went down to the San Juan Club because we really didnt have anything better to do.  I had a few beers and chit chatted with a few of the regulars.  When I was nicely buzzed, I walked across the street for some decent chinese food.

Good prices on tapped beer.  Only down side is there is 10 dollar minimum for credit cards.  Thats 4 pints!  Wait...Heck ya!  That's 4 pints!!!!

Not a complaint one! The bartender remembered us from last year during one of our jaunts, and the fact that she owed us a couple drinks and made good on her promise!

Great little dive for a stop on the bike, small with a couple of pool tables, the standard TV's, not too many, not too few..crowd was live and let live..drinks were well poured, and in highball glasses..I love high ball glasses..

Had a small area set up in the corner for bands, karaoke, etc..we might just have to check them out when the moon is out as well..
