I have fond memories of my one visit to The Spot. Â The selling feature would be the bulletin board plastered with faded Polaroid pictures featuring patrons of the good, the bad, and the ugly varieties. Â When asked how to get one's picture on the board, the bartender smiled her toothless smile and said, "well, most of them are dead." Â I give this bar an A+ for quality...and a triple 'x' in dirty.

One of a slew of dive bars on Pacific ave. in San Pedro. With pool tables,a juke box, a patio to smoke on, and cheap drinks this place is pretty much your standard "locals only vibe" dive bar. The thing that made this place stand out for me(not in a good way) was the bathrooms. You apparently have to be "buzzed" in by the bartender to unlock the door. When I tried to get buzzed in I could hear "snorting" noises coming from inside the bathroom and some morons were holding the door shut from the inside. Lame!!! I don't give a shit what your dumb ass is doing in there I just gotta take care of my own "personal business"! I literally had to go outside and "water the tree". After the same thing happened again that night I had had enough of this place. Being one who prefers a dive bar over a club any day of the week I thought I would like this place but Needless to say this joint will never be my "spot". Dueces tweakers!!!
Review Source:Stopped in to the Spot on Sunday afternoon while out on a ride with my lady. Â Cheap and stiff drinks, good juke box and an outside patio that you can take your drinks? Sweet! Andrea was attentive and friendly and made a great Bloody Mary. Â A total dive bar and just what we were looking for mid-ride. Â Will we be back? For sure. Â This is our new Spot when we are riding in San Pedro! Â
There was an eclectic mix of customers but didn't notice any of the trouble that a few other yelpers had talked about. Â We came in early afternoon after eating some great food at Rex's next door.
sad to report, Kerry is gone, and so is the fun times... Funeral for Gary, Â then the bar.. How do you have a meth dealing manager run out the best bartender and the owner doesn't notice? N is a dirty woman and now can give out all the free cokes she wants!! and basically all the daytime fun is over.. RIP The Spot!
Review Source:My friends and I stopped at this bar and we sat a good 15 min at the bar , the bartender lady never came over to ask what drinks we wanted, we called out to her but we were completely ignored.. there was only a total of six people in the bar its not like she was busy. We left... never will we come here again!!!!
Review Source:Dirty old crazy guys totally ruin the appeal of this dive bar, especially when they touch you. But, you do get some cool locals, and the bartenders are great and whip up some good cocktails. This is such a hole in the wall on the outside that for some, it will take a lot just to get your foot in the door. There's a pool table, digital jukebox, games, and tv's to keep you occupied.
Non-locals, it's directly across the street from Rex's Cafe, up the street from the Cabrillo Marina. Cash only. Atm machine available.
This bar would be good if there were no other bars around. Like from a distance. Â On any given day you'll find washed up pedro people, pedro hookers, old guys, crazy people, but even all that isn't even good people watching. Cash only, no beers on tap AND you have to get buzzed into the bathroom, lame right? Ya so this small 1 room slice of heaven isn't high on my list of go-to spots.
Review Source:Uhhhhh, why this place has 4 and a half stars is baffling. I went here with my boyfriend after I picked him up at work today.....and thank god he was there otherwise I would be reviewing my recent rape.
In my short time there, I witnessed two drug deals, was offered nitrous, got raped with the eyes of many a longshoreman, and paid wayyyy too much for two bottles of drinkability. (3.50 each, no joke)
Other than that the bartender was very nice, and they have all the makings of a glorious divebar: jukebox, pool table, darts and smoky/dirty ambiance. Unfortunately, the patrons are a touch scary and a staff member has to come to the bathroom with you to let you in..... i think that's about enough said. I would probably have loved it if i was already drunk!
DIVE BAR!
A mix of tweekers, old retired dudes, young folk and old dock workers.
Beers are decent priced. 3.25 for a bud light.
They also have a dart machine, amazing and a new game where you put 50 cents in and a punching bag comes down and you hit it and it gives you a score. Very entertaining while extremely drunk at 330 in the afternoon.
