Super dive- divey ba just off the 78 freeway in Vista/Oceanside. Usually we just come here later cuz it's nearby to play pool and have a drink or two. Not really a crowded hip place, but a place that you can go in pretty much whatever. I have to admit, the inside is pretty big and not bad compared to how it looks on the outside. It's almost hidden, in the respect that by the looks of the outside it doesn't look like much but inside is pretty sweet with a full long bar, 3 pool tables, a jukebox and a sit in outdoor smoking area.
Like I said, maybe not a good spot to kick it at for something that hopping but it's  just a good place to grab a beer, maybe a cocktail, shoot some pool, talk then go home. It's one of those late night last stops.
same faces
same drunks every night
music sucks
OLD 90s RAP and country......WTF?????????
dont waste your money on the jute box the bartenders can over ride it AND THEY PLAY WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. (heard it straight from the bartender when I was trying to play tiger army)
perverts galore
drinks are expensive
drinks suck, not a good variety
loosers
loosers
loosers
enough said?

GAYS GALORE!!!!!!!
Stopped into this dive returning to LA from San Diego. Always wanted to check it out. It was pretty busy despite it being early afternoon, with plenty of locals drinking beer, and getting good and rowdy with each other on a weekday. Â High ceilings, brown wood decor, thumbs up for divey decor.
The enclosed smoking area INSIDE the bar is a curiosity. They are basically smoking up a storm inside the place. It kind of stinks, and you are breathing second hand smoke when they open the door again and again.
Overall, it looks like a great place to visit once in a while. I get the impression it's nuts in the evening. Oh, and park in the back or you'll look like a total tourist. Everyone knows to park in the rear. The CCTV shows your car in the front when you pull up, so everyone can see you arrive...
Ice cold schooners of beer, great jukebox as well. Thumbs up!
Came here on the 15th of September just because I haven't been to a 'dive bar' yet. It is super small and a little ominous for a beginner like me (turned 21 on the 10th!) but, the blonde lady was super sweet and so funny with what I assume to be the 'regulars'. She offers awesome conversation with newbies like me and is entertaining to watch while she bullsh*ts with the other guys. I'd come back with a small group of friends.
Review Source:i give it five stars because of the unique atmosphere it provides: a vagabond who asks pretty girls to buy him drinks as he prefers to spend his money on video poker. a group of so cal douchebags who choose to stare at every girl in the place, the bar tender is very nice and i do not know how handles all of the debauchery in there, the same vagabond asking where the closest hotel is that is about 15$ a night.......not sure if was aware that the year at the time was 2008 and not 1978.........ummmm.....its colorful.
Review Source:I used to visit this place a few times a week when I first moved here about eight years ago. Â I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised.
Clean (YES, a clean bar). Â Lots of wood - both bar and bar back - also all CLEAN. Â I still visit, infrequently, and always leave thinking "this place is alright!"
I've driven by this place for ages. Â Never really saw any cars or heard much about it. Â I recently went bar hopping on a Monday night. Â 3 of the bars in Vista were totally dead! Â So we decided to check this place out. Â NO wonder you don't see cars from the highway! Â They are all outback! Â This is a cool little bar. Â They have 3 pool tables a jukebox and some games. Â I don't smoke but if you do this is the place for you! Â They have a back padio that is attached and enclosed and YOU can SMOKE in there! Â They have a window inbetween that room and the bar so the can go up and order a drink at the window! Â This place was packed. Â They had pool league going on. Â It smelled a little like BO but that was because they had hotdogs with onions! Â The prices were reasonable and the bartenders were friendly. Â That's always a huge plus! ;-)
