First impression of the bar was a good one . I like the decor and its super clean inside . There was a very sweet , funny  and , pretty bartender . She was cool ! But the drinks were small and weak . The owner refuses to give water for free and no music plays in the bar , so you're forced to pay $ 1 a song to help the atmosphere be fun ! I think everyone in there was super broke because I was the only one playing music.  I might try it again because the bartender was fun ! Maybe a better crowd will be there next time !
Review Source:No.
Stopped here after Countryfest - my friend (the DD) wanted some food and water before we got back on the road.
The bartender told her that the kitchen was closed. Â We later saw the bartender get reamed out by the Manager for that. Â AWKWARD. Â She never did get her water. Â So I wandered up to the bar, had 2 bartenders give me barely a glance and then walk away. Â Eventually, I had to lean over the bar and say, really loudly, "CAN I GET A WATER FOR MY DESIGNATED DRIVER, PLEASE?!"
Got the water. Â Service with a scowl!
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Rude bartenders. Horrible service. And they're too lazy to help you order food so they lie and say they just aren't serving it at all. I stood at the bar waiting to be helped for ten minutes while the chick bartender stood there not doing anything talking to the male bartender. I wouldn't spend my money in here again.
Review Source:My girlfriends and I went there Friday night celebrating a birthday and we had an AWESOME time! Our bartender Jillian was so genuine and friendly and she made me the most amazing drink I've ever had, and that's saying something! The DJ played my favorite old school jams and we had the most fun dancing that I've had in a long time. Hot bouncer, cool decor (there was a jet-ski on the wall!), amazing bartender. Wish we woulda been there all night instead of starting at the Junction. As long as they have the same bartender and DJ, I can't wait to go back.
Review Source:Horrible customer service. Â I had been to this place a couple times before. Â What can I say, it's great people watching. Â Homeless people and the rest of the Lakeside trash come here. Â Anyways, one night my friends and I decide to go out and we found ourselves here. Â We go in and go to the bar where our IDs are checked. Â I was waiting for another friend to get in before I ordered so I said I would wait for a drink. Â When my friend got there, I went to the bar to order and the bartender checked my ID again. Â That's cool, they are being careful, I get it. Â Then the "security guard" came over to us and said he needed to check our IDs. Â We all pulled them out and he asked me to give him my ID number. Â I have no idea what it was so I told him that, but I gave him every other bit of information on my ID. Â He kicked me out. Â I was livid. Â We all left and I called the bar so I could talk to the manager. Â There was no answer so I left a voice mail and then I went in to ask for the manager. Â The security guard said he didn't have to get the manager. Â I asked for his name and he refused to give me his name. Â Then a guy standing next to him said that he was the owner and whatever the security guard said to me was correct and I had to leave. Â Obviously, this was causing a scene and the bartender who checked my ID came over and I said that she checked my ID twice and she didn't stand up for me or anything, just walked away. Â Turns out that the bartender is married to the owner so of course she wouldn't say anything. Â
I could go on and on about how awful the owner and employees of that place are. Â I will certainly never go back after that.
If you want good people watching and shit service, this is the place for you. Â If, however, you like to be treated like a human being, I would recommend going somewhere else.
If you like skanks and white trash come on down! I have heard all about Lakeside and how its white trash and all but never really believed it. Well i am now offically a believer. So yeah anyway it was a pretty young crowd, all the women look the same, you know the whole east county bleach blond skank look. Maybe i am just gettong old but the music sucked, all hip hop. Met to young women in the bathroom that were maybe 23 years old talking about how bad they needed botox and how one of them needed a boob job. One kept telling me her hair was fake. I dont know why she thought i needed to know this. Bartender was a total jerk, service sucked. Prices are outrageous. When i picked up my tab i almost died. I dont see how a couple shots of vodka and some beer cost almost 40 bucks! Also seen a guy that supposdly fell outside on the patio and he was bleeding from his lip and eye. Some people said he got in a fight. Who knows... Will not be back.
Review Source:Where do I begin. I had some steak fries....I did not have anything else (not even drinks) and they were not bad so this place will get 1 star and one star only just for that. However, one of the WORST customer service experiences I have ever had in my life. I will try not to bore you guys with every single fine detail of the conflict but these are the basics. Ok so I noticed my receipt was a little off...not by a lot just a couple dollars not a big deal but when you order something thats only $3 like I did you notice when your check is a few dollars over. I asked the waitress what was going on...she told me I was charged for ranch. I asked why because it says ranch on the menu ranch is free. She grabbed the menu to see, looked confused, left without saying anything and went to get the manager. When I saw her getting the manager I was like "oh god". The last thing I wanted was for this to be a big deal. It was only a couple bucks...I was just curious but I did not want her to get the manager about it. It was not a huge deal. I was not sure why she had to get the manager when it clearly said on the menu ranch was included with the fries why she could not just refund me. Well anyway...the manager came and was pissed. He came to my table and before saying anything else said "I understand you dont want to pay the money but I am the manager and I am telling you that you have to". Wow. Way to resolve a conflict. I asked him why? It says on the menu ranch is free. At this point I did not even care about the damn $2 but I was not about to be bullied by some rude fat guy wanting money he's not owed. Hes one of those redneck types that thinks he can do what he wants because its his bar. Kinda like if you dont like it, leave. So he told me that he does not know why it says on the menu that ranch is included with fries but its not. And I asked him why he is so intent on making me pay money that is not his and why it would say that it is included on the menu if in reality in his opinion it is not included. He says he does not know why its there but that is besides the point and that I had to pay for the ranch. He then asked me "theres no room where are we supposed to put it?". I am not sure how that even makes any sense. It said directly under the fries in italics that it comes with ranch. I am not sure what he meant by that there was no room to put it anywhere else...and if that was really the case...not my fault! I did not make the menu. Any manager should know these basic rules of treating customers. Even if it was a mistake on a customers end you never speak to customers like that...to get into full fledged arguments with them is just unproffesional...but it was not my fault. He even admitted that it was a mistake on the menu but still wanted me to pay just because he said so. Get the hell outta here. He probably was not expecting a woman to hold her own against him especially in a redneck place like this. Well thats what he gets. I know it was only 2 bucks but like I said at this point it became about disrespect. He then asked me why I was making such a huge deal about so little money. And I asked him the same question right back. I said "obviously its a big deal to you too because you want the $2 so bad even if I do not owe it to you". He then kicked me and everyone that I was with out of the bar even though the people I was with did not say anything. What an ass. WORST BAR EXPERIENCE EVER!! DO NOT GO HERE. THEY DO NOT DESERVE BUSINESS WITH THE WAY THEY TREAT CUSTOMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review Source:Sixty 7 Bar & Grill - Where the hill billys and ghetto folk mingle
I was contemplating on one or two stars, and only two because the people I met up with there are amazing and love this place. Never have I been to any bar  in lakeside - nor do I ever care to go anywhere especially in this part of lakeside all together................BUT, I was invited to a rodeo and the meet up spot was this little shanty-bar-shack called sixty 7. There was the usual trashy-hilly billy bar people, and then our friends. The waitresses and ..ohhh just those who worked there in general were ones you would never want to make your food - for the concern that they look as though they dont wash their hands after they use the restroom. ( YES PPL LIKE THAT EXIST!) moving on, I ordered a sweet tea on the rocks (Thank you Brass rail bartender for introducing me), and the bartender says "Who drinks this?!" ...Oh im sorry I didn't vouch for the cheapy budlight I guess Im a weirdo. Intially when I got there, there were cop cars and the place was lit up like a christmas tree. Apparently some bad-a$$ cowboy got stabbed and was bleeding profusively in his jeep. It was great entertainment (awesome place to people watch - crazy that they reside in CA?), and the drinks are way affordable. As for everything else...I would probaly stay away, and suggest you find another bar that isn't full of questionable people.
Wow, all those harsh reviews. Â Must not be from Lakeside! Â And if you're not a fan of off-roading or anything else you see inside the bar, im sure you WOULD rather spend your time in the bathroom looking at the map and being boring. Â
Me and my husband like it here. Â The food is awesome, Tom always gives generous helpings of everything. Â Elaine is always happy and energetic and the dance floor is fun! Â If your not an uptight snotty person who just wants chill, drink a beer and listen to music, this is the place for you! Â Relax and have fun! Â Looking forward to more nights there! Â :)
As soon as we parked and started walking towards the door, we witnessed a guy getting shoved out of the bar and being pushed to the ground. He gets up and tries to fight back but another security guy gets on top of him and minutes later three police cars show up. Then he was thrown in the back seat of one of the cruisers, handcuffed of course.
Classy Lakeside.
Apparently the dude didnt want to pay his bar tab. Idiot. Who does that? The entire bar was talking about it and I caught the gist of what had transpired.
Anyway. This bar is all nascar'ed out.Logos and insignias all over the place. Black and white floors and a small stage area. Small booths and plenty of seating. Pool tables also. If I had to guess the seating capacity was probably in the 120-150 range.
There was probably a dozen or so people inside the place when my friends and I showed up. Dont ask me what I was doing in Lakeside. I dont like going east of SDSU but on that Thursday night I found myself driving further and further east on the 8 highway.
Pretty decent tequila selection. I was expecting Jack Daniels and Jose Cuervo to line the shelves but to my surprise they had a variety of premiums and call brands.
Oh, guess how many people were in the bar that wasnt white ? Two. Myself and my friend Cathy. Im not hating though. It is what it is.
Where is the entrance? Â Oh through the Giant Freezer door! Â It looks a bit like a shack and not very inviting, inside is dark, it looks exactly like what it is, a road side dive bar.
The bartender was nice, she over changed us but made up for it. Â I was in there around dinner time and no one had food, So I took that as a bad sign, but maybe there wasn't a cook. Â It was silent until I put money in the juke box. Â I thought the drinks were mixed well and a decent price.
That bathroom was clean, the rest of the bar, I'm not so sure about.
Overall I would return if I had an urge to go to a dive bar near home, but not a place where I would plan my Friday night out with friends
I came here with a group of friends, upon their recommendation that the food was killer and the drinks were cheap. Sure, sounds great.... only it wasn't.
My BLT was disgusting. It looked as though the B was all wadded into a hunk and thrown in the deep fryer for a nice black crispy chunk of cancer to bite into. The L was wilted, and the T was mealy and almost non-existent. So awful I just... I pulled the waitress over to take it away and off our bill. She refused to do so, saying she could just bring me another one or something else. Sorry dear, I don't really have an appetite anymore... but I guess the guys here will eat anything so bring out some fries and onion rings instead. I just thought the whole "we can't NOT charge you" thing was ridiculous.
My drink was weak so I did not waste my money on another. I guess that worked out because I ended up being the driver that night.
Said "friends" have tried on numerous occasions to get us to come back out here with them, but I think I will keep on passing. Not my kind of place at all.
Wow, so three of the 7 reviews were from an employee or the owner?? REALLY NOT GOING BACK. You can pay attention when my review could hurt your business but when I"m in there spending money, I can't get the time of day.
Go figure.
Keep Elaina, dump the other losers. When that happens, let me know and MAYBE I'll return.
No.
High prices.
Total East County crowd. Young East County.
Every once in a while they have a decent band, but the majority of the time the live music sucks.
Staff isn't the friendliest.
No.
thank you but I will take my business somewhere else.
Fun thing is that in the girls bathroom they have a map on the wall of San Dieog that I'd prefer to look at than any of the off roading/racing/EC deocor all over this place any day.
I have a lot of friends that cannot stop raving and or going to this place.
But after paying 15 dollars for a glass of scotch on the rocks...
I'm done a total rip off.
If I'm going to drink I'm going for a fair price. Service was par...for those prices I should of been getting serviced a lot more than a prompt water.
If you value a dollar just as much as a good time hit up some where else
I might be bias because my uncle owns this place. Â However, I haven't seen the guy in 15 years so it can't be too bias of an opinion.
The entrance to the bar has a humongous door as if you're walking into a walk-in freezer. Â Then you get in and the whole place is a black and white theme with Nascar hoods and stuffs. Â There's a good-sized dance floor. Â Uncle put in one of them fancy digital jukeboxes. Â The bathrooms are clean, which was refreshing.
I hung out with my brother for about 8 or 9 hours shooting some pool. Â Also, these incredibly handsome former military men came in and played with us for about six of those hours. Â Hamina, hamina... ha. Â Uncle says that generally there are quite a few military men at this place which is usually not my thing, but when someone's attractive, someone's attractive. Â At the door he has a sign posted up that says gangs are not tolerated, no open containers, no drugs of any sort allowed, no wife beaters - because you know, most of the guys who walk around in wife beaters are the trashy ones; sorry, guys, but it's true - he even makes you have two forms of I.D. if you're from out of state. Â Strict.
Do you like cute girls? Â Well, I can't guarantee there will be any hanging out there, but the bartender, Nikki, is a cutie!
My brother got some chicken strips which were great. Â From 2-4 it's free pool every day.
Happy hour they do $2 domestic and $3 import or something like that.
Oh, and guess what! Â People under 21 are allowed to hang out until like 10 PM or something like that.
