The King of dive bars in my opinion. This place get's no sunlight, has a digital Jukebox, electronic darts, 3 pool tables, and a full service bar.
It's the kind of bar a pirate or a dock worker might hang out at. The crowd is ubber friendly (when there is one). They have dedicated followers that have dart tournaments here, and you can order mini pitchers, or large for cheap!
Definitely a great place to stop and have a drink if you're in that chill dive bar vibe.
Cheap cheap cheap. That is the reason why there's a +1 tacked onto the 3 stars. I would return for cheap drinks when I really just want to get down and dirty. But besides that, it's quite forgettable. You as an alcoholic will quickly be beckoned by nicer bars than this place. I guess the real rating is 3.5 stars...but rounded to 4.
Ambience:
The atmosphere isn't that great. Squires is a small, slightly run-down bar catering to locals of La Habra, my sleepy little town. People smoke here, but I don't mind.
Scotch:
I got a decent glass of Glen Livet scotch, nearly filled to the brim, for around $4. That's ridiculous. Yes, it's not the highest quality whiskey out there (there's better Glens with more age), but for $4 it is a steal. The scotch selection is very limited
PART OF THE DIRTBAG RUN REVIEW SERIES:
Cruising along Whittier Blvd (on the East-East side) into La Habra, it can be very easy to miss this little diamond in the rough of a dive.
Squires is an excellent dive in that it has all a dive needs, REALLY cheap drinks (booze and mixed), darts/billiards, a classic rock immersed jukebox, AND they let you smoke inside. Oh did I mention the drinks ARE CHEAP?
The bartender takes care of business and is no nonsense. No credit cards, no tab, JUST CASH.
This is a great place for stopping with a small group, and if you go stag, put a few bucks into the box and sit back and drink your grog. Love the medieval accents littered about the place.
If you want to avoid the family and friend crowds at nearby DP's Pizza Pub, and can live without some pizza for the night, go here, it won't disappoint, and the slot billiards are a good time.
The locals and regulars look like a mix of older folks, nascar fans, youngins', a truly motley crew if ever there was. I've never been here outside of Saturday or Friday, but I suspect the vibe is the same no matter what night it is.
yeah i love this joint. i was introduced to this place by a friend of mine and we would attend it on occasions.
its as dive-bar as dive-bars can get.
theres pool, darts, tv, and a juke box. but what really completes it as a dive bar is that you can still smoke indoors.
you get alot of la habra locals in there and its not really a place it you want to meet a chick. its more a place you take a good friend to go get trashed.
cant beat the deals. the drinks are cheap and rick pours them stiff. but then again you cant go wrong with a pitcher of new castle and shots of jameson.
the only thing that blows about this place is that its cash only, so yeah no credit cards. this means you better hit up that atm before you head inside.
YESSSSS $3.75 margaritas and THEYRE BLENDED!!! this place gets 5 stars just for that....
other plus's:
jukebox
you can smoke inside [even though i'm not a smoker, i like the dive bar feel of people smoking inside]
pool tables
clean bathrooms
no patio, but who needs one when you can smoke inside :)
all around a really chill spot.
Dive bars are usually a hit.. or a hit. How can you go wrong with cheap drinks, calloused bartenders and classic rock?
I've been here two or three times and know I'll be going back again in the very near future. The bathrooms are clean and everyone is always friendly.
It's a great place to kick back a pitcher of Bud (which are only $9!) or a gin and tonic ($3!!) and have a good time with some friends.
