A clean dive bar with that seems to have been over run with the criminal type. I was here a few weeks back. I went to see my buddy who was working there(name and profession omitted, don't want these goons to come looking for me). The parking lot was full, but I'm sure most of the consumers at this plaza were inside the newly opened strip joint across the way. The security guard was cool. The dude that was standing outside talking to him, looked like trouble. Gang tattoos on his head=probably should lock my car doors. I waked in and said hello to my friend who joined me at the bar for a shot. The music was cool, the scene, seemed like a cholo version of roadhouse. Some outlaw motorcycle gang members flying "colors", some guys in football jerseys (this was a Saturday night) and homeboys just waiting for someone to accidentally bump into them. I struck up a conversation with the bartender. I thought she was nice, until she called out to one of her girlfriends by saying "aye foo" and began talking about how much she loooovvvves to smoke pot. Bummer.
After some time spent holding up the wall, I was about to leave when all these "homeboys" ran outside. I guess someone from another "barrio" was steppin on their turn. Lame. I waited until the coast was clear to avoid any unwanted bullet holes in my body. Paid my tab. (Tipped well, as always) and got the hell out of there.
If practicing your mad dog face and sneaking weapons in a bar inside your "old-lady's" purse is your idea of a good time, this is your kind-of place.
*OWNERS*
I inherited a bar, much like yours a few years back. Same problems. Couldn't get the clientele I wanted. The only way to clear the air is to book some god dam heavy metal bands. Make your place a venue for musicians for a while. They won't come back.
*true story*
The family at ECC5 all love this place! Its always fun with great service here. The whole fam bam usually stops by after work to chill after a long day to bond and relax with some cold ones together. Everyone that works here is family and we will be coming here FOR LIFE! Stop by and check them out.
Review Source:Definitely a cool hang out spot with extremely off the hook drink specials.. There are three wonderful bartenders who will serve up some yummy lady drinks.. Kerri, she's sweet, intelligent and purrrrrrrty. Kimmie will surely entertain you with some stand up comedy and have you laughing all night! Â If you put on the right songs off the jukebox.. its on! (Private concert) Ri Ri style! Â Ladies, I recommend the "black mamba" Lori is fabulous.. She's a delight to talk to.. and surely know's how to get the customers come back for more!
There are two pool tables.. I must admit that these are the BEST bar tables I've ever played on.. Well maintained.. I'm always up for a few games.(Please feel free to lose against little fortune cookie) hahaha! Also, there are live bands that perform every weekend.. Which is awesome!
The parking is probably the only negtive response that I would have for this place.. Everyone (bartenders, security and owners) are absolutely wondeful and have satisfied my every need.. The crowd is a mixture of all ethnicities.. Could also bring food to the bar! Which is a plus on my list! Haha..
Overall.. My experiences have never been dull moment.. It's not your average "fancy bar" it's actually better! It's COMFORTABLE.. Chill, not uptight.. Would I recommend this place? YESSSSS! So, come in and take advantage of the specials, chat up with these fabulous ladies, enjoy the live music, take charge or get owned on the tables, enhance your social skills or just because...
See you there!
A classic dive bar with tremendous potential with the exception of the black female bartender. This dive bar offers cheap prices, free billiards, a digital juke box, lots of flat screen televisions to catch the game, bar area plus couches to vege out and socialize with your pals. Live garage bands play on weekends, crappy yes but it's better than hearing the black female bartender all night.
You see, this dive bar caters to the average hard working uneducated dope. Losers if I will, and the owner hires whory bartenders (aka skanktenders) to keep the patrons happy and make believe that they can someday get laid by the same skanktenders. Well one of these skanktenders is a potty loud mouth ghetto fabulous black tramp with baggage and drama that chooses to vent her lifes frustrations onto any patron that will listen. Its as if she needs to be the center of attention of it all, ego validation citation.
So as you are trying to enjoy a cold beer while watching the game you have to also endure the tramps ramblings and rants about how her five year old son still wets the bed, how her boyfriend is such a cheapskate and how the owner is a cheap son of a dog.
Advice to the owner: Listen you "cheap son of a dog", Men go to bars to forget about their daily life and spend their money to enjoy themselves, not to hear some elder out of shape angry black woman document her unhappy life and times.
One Side Note: There is an ex-stripper Latina bartender lesbian with huge boobs that works there who is joined by her insecure dike lover. The dike lover sits at the end of the bar monitoring and mad dogging all the male patrons. Its hilarious to watch an insecure dike adjust her strap on dildo while men flirt with her lover.
