    Def a locals kind of spot. No glits and glam here. This is a bare bones dive bar with a rainbow of shady characters. lol! My good friends call this place their living room. They have buck hunt, stiff drinks, and a patio outback of chain smokers and neon lights for ambiance. Been voted least up kept restrooms in OB, but the free pool keeps 'em coming.

    Did I mention they serve food? Yep... up to par bar eats. I've never heard of anyone getting sick so thumbs up.

    Come have a shot and an inappropriate conversation here if you dare ;)

    Been going since the Cork n Bottle days, and  this place just gets better and better.
    Gotta try the wings...best in San Diego! If ya'll want ferns and chandeliers...stay away.  If ya just want to be yourself and hang for a bit, you'll love this place...and so will your puppy, and maybe even your girlfriend, if she's cool.

    Its an ok bar the bartenders tend to have attitudes but this bar was never about customer service. The wings are great but the bar is kinda a dump makes you think how dirty the kitchen is. But still an ok bar nothing too bad nothing too great.

    Teddy is such a great bartender! We went in to do laundry and have a couple drinks. He took such good care of us. Will come back for laundry next door and good service.

    WHAT AN ABSOLUTE GARBAGE BAR, POPULATED AND OWNED BY A PIECE OF GARBAGE. Some of you, not all.

    Allow me to set the scene. I know of this joint, I have, as I've lived in this town (SD, not OB) for a long time. They have Center Ice. They often play hockey games. This is a good thing.

    So, I'm near the jukebox, looking at the beer selection, and some drunk girl walks by and says "oh look, some fa-got thinks he's a Canadian". WOW. You've proved yourself a homophobe, a bigot, and an idiot in the same breath.

    For the record, I was wearing a SAN DIEGO GULLS ECHL jersey. Never mind the large logo that said "West", "San Diego", and "Gulls".

    Here's where this bar goes on my s--t list, and trust me, this is going on a TON of people's s--t lists after tonight.

    The owner walks me out after I walk back and ask the girl what her beef is. Yes, I confront her AND her table. Of course I'm met with the usual drunk, moronic rhetoric that every drunk OB/PB loser gives you, regardless of the fact that I wasn't threatening. Don't get me wrong, I hate bigots and idiots, and I called her out.

    My problem doesn't lie with these idiots. My problem lies with the "owner" and his sorry, pathetic, obviously biased siding with these morons, and his BS so-called apology. I actually think one of them works there.

    Look, I'm done ranting about this craphole. That's all it will ever be. I just hate seeing the old style xeno/homo/retard style of running bars, defending people in the wrong, and the people just there to have a good time taking the brunt of the owner's idiocy. Watch an episode of "Bar Rescue". A different attitude, not embracing the "we're a sh-thole/locals, FU" attitude will get you nowhere. And why wouldn't you? My hockey team (a bunch of weekend warriors that love beer), our "rival teams", and the owner's drunken rant pretty much sealed the deal regarding any sort of money ever being spent there. Yeah, 32 people a week looking for a home base, GONE. I guess we'll stick with REAL bars like the Parrot, Ches, Kristy's, Mothers, Pizzaport, Tony's... well... you name it. AVOID this dump. Managers and employees from aforementioned bars actually laughed when I told them I went to the Stick (an "I told you so, it sucks huh?" laugh). And I'll do everything I can to NOT recommend it, not to mention call this place out for the owner directly supporting the people he did via every review, internet or TV (oops, there WAS a reason I had that camera with me).

    Want a better bar? They're a dime a dozen. Sorry dirtbag OB, it's a business, not your clubhouse. Sink or swim.

    Oh, and owner? Thanks for the crybaby routine about how you have it bad as a black man, after you just defended a bunch of bigots, homophobes, and drunk racists. Your regulars, not mine. Sleep in it.

    Oh, in hindsight, I did have a camera, and took a pic of the hallway. I'm not an electrician, it was just a cool pic. Or perhaps an electrical nightmare. Personally I thought it was something out of a NIN video. Your call.

    I like this place.  It became one of my favorite spots in O.B. after some time.  Definitely a locals place, but as long as you're not a jerk you'll be treated well.

    The owner is an amazing guy and just about every bartender, save for one, are good people who will treat you well so long as you afford them the same respect.  I can't really put my finger on why I like this bar so much, I find it hard to articulate in a review what makes it special.  Maybe more than anything else, it has absolutely no pretension about what it is -- its a hole in the wall bar for locals in O.B., and it is proudly that.  And deservedly so!

    Probably my favorite place to watch Sunday football.  Definitely my favorite place to wander into, hang out for a bit, then suddenly find myself in a great conversation with some random person for the next hour.

    Food and beer are priced excellently.  I think the food is quite good in general, and is very good by "hole in the wall bar" standards, but be prepared for some intensely salted seasoned fries... you'll hit your sodium max for the entire week after eating them!

    You may remember this bar from the short lived TV series "Terriers". It has a beachy vibe and is always full of locals having a good time. There is a pet friendly patio area and they have a good happy hour special every day.

    One of my favorite hole in the wall bars... don't get here to often anymore sadly since I no longer live in the area.  Consistently good times!

    Positives
    Very good food
    Shhhh... 4-leggers are not treated like 2nd class citizens
    Cozy LOL
    Pool table
    Decent selection of alcohol

    Negatives
    Bathroom a tiny bit cramped - well at least when you are trying to cram in 3 girls :)
    Occasionally pain in the ass patrons - spill over from Lucy's
    Im pretty quiet and relaxed but got treated pretty crappy by a couple of the bartenders when I lived there - guess for some reason they thought I was a tourist?  I kept coming back though since that was not the norm thankfully!

    When I lived in OB I would do my laundry next door and maybe while away my time with some food, a beer and a book!  I always recommend this place to people heading to OB and swing by when I am in the area.

    Note: this review is a little late.  I went before I deployed and I haven't been able to get consistent access to Yelp to finish this and a whole bunch of other reviews from a few months ago.

    One of my favorite bars in the world. Best wings i've ever had - get the teryaki/hot mixture. Locally owned and operated, cheap and simple. Free pool, good jukebox, and small. Just my kjnda place - also for happy pitchers of yellowtail are only $8. EIGHT DOLLARS.

    Shhhh.....really would rather not too many peeps know how good the food is here. Well, ok, I only ordered two things, but damn they were beyond tasty! I live right around the corner so yay for me.

    I'm not much of a drinker, but went to a surprise party for a friend here last night and I had heard the food was pretty damn good. Party friends said the burgers and the philly steak sammies were especially good.

    I'm watching the old waistline get smaller, so can't order that stuff above that makes it bigger right now. I ordered their Mahi Mahi Tacos, 2 for $7.50. The bartender came back to tell me that the cook didn't think they had enough pieces of the fish to make the two, but would I also like something else with it on the house? Way to go. I ordered the chips and salsa knowing some of my friends would help out on that.

    I am telling you.....duuuuude, homemade tortilla chips?! Whaaaaat?! SO damn good, the two friends helping me eat them said the same thing and I pretty much had like 4 chips! They put this salty herb mixture on them or something...wow.

    When the tacos arrived, I don't know what they were talking about...they were HUGE! They were really fresh and tasty with nice chunks of Mahi Mahi on them. And I love how the tortillas were nice and crispy only on the very edges and then soft in the middle. And they put some kind of yummy spice on the outside of the tortillas, never had that before. Beyond flavorful.

    Looking forward to coming back for more of those tacos. SOOOO much better than South Beach on Newport. Looking forward to trying more of their yummy menu once I drop some more ELLBEEES!

    Dive dive dive! It is what its suppose to be a dive bar. Drinks are cheap. people that frequent here are usually locals. The jukebox is always playing something that you wouldn't think you would hear there but its OK with me.

    I've been frequenting The Stick more often and feel it deserved an updated review. Especially after spending my Thanksgiving morning here drinking a delicious bloody mary made personally for me by the owner Johnny.

    I love that it's not as busy as the bars on Newport and never too loud to have a chat with a friend over beers and wings. Plus, with laundry next door you can get your chores out of the way while kicking back with a brew.

    This place is admittedly not for everyone but if you can appreciate a good dive and a cheap beer come check it out. There's always room for one more at The Titled Stick!

    Cool spot and they make great wings plus they have Allagash on tap ! Awesome.

    If you wanna get away from all the local tourists on Newport Ave then head on over to Voltaire, where  the local OB peeps hang out.

    Newport Ave Is kinda like 30th St in North Park, way too crowded.

    Laundry next door if you need it.

    The bartenders have some serious entitlement issues, as do most of the regular drunks that stink up the place.  One bartender, in particular, thinks having a NY birth-certificate is a license to act like a complete bitch all the time.  The manager is crude and condescending, the bathrooms are abominable, and the TVs are so small and removed, they are unwatchable.  

    I finally got tired of giving my money to people who treat me like shit, regardless if its the closest bar to my apartment.  They can kiss my GUINEA ASS as I walk past them to a bar where I will be treated like a goddamn king in comparison.  Fuck this place, although I have to admit the wings are pretty good.

    Okay, The Tilted Stick is definitely a geared-to-OBcians dive bar. It's teeny and dirty, but it works. And it's not ridiculously crowded, like most of the bars on Newport. The Stick is definitely A-OK in my book.

    They have a good selection of draught beers. Mostly local, with a smattering of standard domestics and mainstream imports. Beers are CHEAP. We didn't pay more than $3 a pint. I don't know if that's a happy hour thing, but I was pleased.

    Wings aren't very good. They were dry and leathery, and the outside was really over-fried. The extrerior skin/breading part had the exact same texture as chicharrones, which was completely gross. The spicy crispy chicken sandwiches ("our best!", they say) were tasty. The chicken was yummy and juicy, the bun was soft, the veggies were fresh. The cajun french fries were delicious. This place is perfect if you're looking for cheap. Four beers, a pile of wings, and two sandwiches, plus tax and tip, for $30-something.

    The people watching is awesome, even if you get there early. At around 7 last night, some middle-aged local trollop was completely wasted and roaming the bar loudly meowing at a table of fat old guys in polo shirts. After one of them finally attempted to throw her in his truck, caveman-style, half the guys in the bar went to go battle for her honor in the street. Oh, good times.

    The women's bathroom is DISGUSTING. It makes the restroom at the Arco station down the street look like the Ritz-Carlton Waikiki.

    Anyway, bottom line: go early, grab cheap beer, and watch local drama. Yay!

    You gotta love a good dive bar! I have special place in my heart for the Tilted Stick. And even though there are stools with rips in the seat covers and you may sit at a table and not want lay your hands on it right away it is impossible to find this place anything but awesome.

    Kind of reminded me of the feel of "The Arizona" back in the day-
    Not to worry, there is plenty of lighting in the evening so you can see your fellow drinkers. And I wouldn't classify anyone as "trashy" or a "degenerate", they are just OB residents drinking at their local bar-all friendly.

    We enjoyed delicious rum and diet cokes and although we weren't there for food, there are plenty of good bar snacks to go with whatever you decide to drink. From wings to burgers.  It also happens to be right next door to a laundromat so bring a basket of laundry and kill two birds with one stone.  

    The music was current and a perfect fit for this place.
    There is a pool table and a patio as well if you prefer outside.
    Tilted stick I shall return.

    This is the ultimate OB Dive Bar: it attracts the lowest of the degenerates and the trashiest of clientelle- in short, the salt of the Ocean Beach ocean is here!

    There are generally good tunes playing and the bar has a lot of great premium beers available.

    What really makes this place, however, is the FOOD! Amazingly your bartender will also be your chef, and despite this they will still crank out some amazing bar fare. The veggie burger is better than most I've had at your standard Vegan restaurant, the philly cheesteak is good, but the real stand out are the Grilled fish tacos.

    These tacos are, IMO, definitely better than the ones you will find at South Beach and are amazingly addictive. An order of these with a pint of Alagash Ale and I'm good for the day.

    As a side note, I've heard of a lot of complaints about rude behavior or holier-than-thou attitudes, but I've been going there with my girlfriend for the last few months and we have never had any problems from anyone.

    Best Bar in OB!  Actually my favorite bar in SD.  Great prices, great food, and a little attitude behind the bar.  I love that.  Reminds me of the East Coast.   Nicky, Jonny, and crew always keeping it fun.   Love you guys!  

    If you are getting food make sure you get wings.  They have the best hot sauce!!

    The Tilted Stick is the ULTIMATE dive bar in OB.  

    Their on-tap beer selection is great.  

    Ain't no shotglass used when the bartender makes mixed drinks.

    As for food, order either the wings or the chicken strips.  There are plenty of choices of sauce to go with 'em.  For me, I get one version of buffalo strips and one version of the barbeque strips.  Both orders come with the seasoned fries, tho I generally give those to the neighbor's dog, as the strips and sauce come in a great 5 (sometimes 6) strip portion.

    When dogs were allowed, I hung around and had several beers.  Now, I generally go in, order and enjoy a beer while I am waiting, and carry food home.

    Never seen an instance of someone beyond control here, just folks who wanted to switch off of alcohol to coffee, and that transition was easily made.

    the only reason for 4 and not 5 stars...I can't bring my dog any more.

    I started making this my main hang out when the bartender told me he would show up at 6 a.m. for th World Cup game, if I promised to bring some friends.  I did, and he did.  And it was glorious.

    Bar food is bar food, and this place does it well.  Some of the fare isn't as good as Tiny's, some of it is better.  Plus their kitchen  is open late, which is awesome when you're in The Industry and don't get off work until midnight or so...

    Speaking of The Industry- there are a lot of them in the Stick on any given night, so it ends up being a very friendly and entertaining time.  It has an almost Cheers-esque vibe to it on occasions.  Especially when you finally finish shaking hands and sit down, only to find your Guinness and Jameson already poured because the bartender saw you rolling in and had it primed...

    I've seen a little trouble brew here from time to time, but most of the time its a Local who's had two too many and as soon as one of the bartenders calls them out on it, they apologize and leave.  Much better than the way I've seen it handled at the Sunshine or various other Newport bars with shitty bouncers (I won't mention names, but it's an Irish bar, it isn't The Harp, and it rhymes with Blalaghers...fuck that place.  But I digress...).  I've been a bartender at various locations and it doesn't matter if you're paying ten bucks for a Jack and Coke (Seriously Sidebar?  Ten bucks?), people sometimes get out of hand.  Shit happens.  It's how you deal with it that makes the difference, and from what I've seen- Stick Staff always does it right.

    Solid crowd, solid staff, solid drinks.  What more do you need?  A billion tv's with every sporting event possible?  Oh they have those too.

    I'm taking one star off because the   place has potential, but it's obvious the owner just wants to sit back and collect his check.  A little elbow grease and some love would make this place awesome.

    Great bar with a good beer selection, decent prices, cool bartenders, and awesome wings.  I single out the wings (per food) b/c that's all I've had there...and they do NOT disappoint.  I was feeling some wings the other day so I went on an unofficial mission to find some wings better than Tiny's (also good).   I arrived here, where I had been before and smelled and gazed upon the goodness of the food, but had never eaten.  Well, I have now eaten, and DAMN, the wings are good.  

    Wash it down with some good local brew (or other tasteful selections) and you're gonna be in for a satisfying morning/day/night.  Enjoy...

    A lazy Sunday afternoon, a craving for wings (on Will's part) and fish tacos (on my part) and the perfect spot. Leave it to Yelp to find a place that satisfies the both of us.
    Nikki was alone there and yet served us crazy wings, yummy fries and chicken strips and amazing mahi mahi tacos. And it all came with a smile and good company.

    Just read all of the other reviews, and as one of the "shady characters" several people mentioned I thought I'd throw in my two cents.  I've been coming to the Stick for years.  I lived a block away for a while.  Since moving out of OB I don't make it to the Stick as much as I used to, but it's still pretty much my favorite bar to hang out in.

    The food is pretty good (I'm partial to the burgers, but they do a good cheesesteak and fish taco as well), the pool is free, the beer is cheap, and when 2 a.m. is getting dangerously close Litticker's is right across the street.  I've got a ton of hilarious memories from the Stick, like when some dude went in the ladies' room and we moved the old jukebox in front of the door to lock him in.  Take that, chump!  There have also been some pretty crazy fights over the years, but as long as you don't act like a douchebag no one will give you any static.  

    Go check out the Stick next time you're in OB, and if you want to lose some money while you're there I've got no problem beating you in pool.

    This is a solid dive bar. Questionable characters are always in residence but the beers cheap and the foods decent. The bars on Voltaire have a more laid back vibe than those on Newport and are from a different planet than PB bars.

    I always get a platter of the seasoned fries. Yummy. It's not the cleanest bar or the one with the coolest decor but it's a place you go to feel at home. Check for the daily specials.

    Chill little dive bar. Went here while I was in SD to see a friend.

    Actually went here in the afternoon. Yes the afternoon. Watched a bball game they had broadcasting on the tube and get buzzed and have lunch.

    Great friendly service, good bar food, and great drinks.

    Who needs all that flashy pretentious crap? I know I don't, and if you don't either, check out this place.

    **TIP** they have daily specials so call them up to see what they have

    Here's how you can tell there are all kinds of people in San Diego... when reviews can vary this much. Now there is certainly nothing wrong with that, but it is interesting.

    Was here for a few on a Friday night while in the area to hear some live music. I do think it's cool that you can bring your dog, although I wouldn't dare show up with my Yorkie, because I'm not sure that's quite what this crowd had in mind lol. I don't think I would eat here if I were being paid to, because it just didn't seem clean to me. At all. Some guy got in a fight with his girlfriend and smashed a table, another guy at the pool table was being really abrasive. Maybe I just wasn't drunk enough, but as a young woman, I'm not cool with dive bar crowds.

    What's all this "don't take your woman there after 10/11" nonsense?  My girlfriend (now fiancee) introduced me to the Stick.. and I don't think she's ever been in there *before* 10pm.  (I'd say we, but I've been in in the daytime while doing laundry next door.)

    Anyway, easily my favorite bar in OB.  Wish I made it there more often.  It's awesome that kids and dogs are welcome.

    This place is a total dive bar filled with OB trash and I fricking love it.  They must pump their chickens full of steroids before they slice n dice em  because their wings are plump, juicy, and HUMUNGO.   A dozen wings will fill you up but beware the cardiac arrest that may accompany your meal.  The drinks are stiff and cheap.

    WARNING:  THIS PLACE IS FOR LOCALS ONLY.  IF YOU ARE A PB MEATHEAD STAY AWAY....AS LEWIS SAYS YOU WILL GET CALLED A SPAZ, A DORK, OR A GEEK.  YOU MIGHT ALSO GET STEPPED ON, LEFT OUT, PICKED ON, OR PUT DOWN.

    LOVE the stick. Somehow I wind up here every Christmas eve. I'm not sure how that works out but whatever. I spend quite a bit of time here aside from the holidays as well.

    I am a big fan of their grilled cheese sandwiches served on a burger bun and their cajun seasoned french fries. They pretty much have the best bar food in all of OB. Great beer on tap and low prices. They serve BIG bottles of Bud which I really appreciate on my broke days when I'm just going out for "a beer." I dig the smoking patio.

    The ladies restroom is very odd and seems to be an afterthought.

    The bartenders are always nice and there is usually a certain hott Boston boy there ;).

    They have a great take-out menu with cholesterol to die for: )

    There's a lot of saturated fat involved, but isn't that what makes everything so dubious and alluring to begin with?

    Their wings are mighty tasty and the fries have a great seasoning. Plain and simple, delicious bar food.

    They also offer a full bar and pool inside.

    *Note: on the survey I put No for outdoor seating, simply because a bench does not designate "outdoor seating". "Outdoor seating" insinuates that there may be tables, where you may eat outside. These don't exist yet at this location, however if you've had too much and need some air; yes, there's a bench.

    The tilted stick is great. Seriously, this place is a gem.

    A few disclaimers first. First, I would never go there with my wife after 10-maybe with a large group, but then again, I don't know if I would go with a large group after 10 either. The crowd just gets a little more rowdy than I like as the night goes on. Yes, it's a dive. It's funky, a bit dirty, the paint is shoddy, the bathroom doesn't lock, music can range from silence, to loud death metal, to gangster rap, and the crowd can be intense and, at times, simply annoying. But isn't that why you love dive bars to begin with?

    That being said, the best bar food in OB. This place has better (and cheaper) burgers than Hodad's without a line. The wings stand up to anyone's.

    The bartenders are awesome. They pour stiff, stiff drinks, and serious, serious (double gulp) shots. They have a good beer selection ranging from PBR on tap, to Busch Tall boys, to craft brews (Rogue Dead Guy, Coronado, etc.). The beers are reasonable, but the shots can add up if you aren't careful. (Note: your bartender cooks your food, serves your food, and pours your drinks, TIP accordingly!!)

    Pool is always free and dogs are welcome.

    The best perk of the stick is its convenient location next door to a laundry mat. Seriously, there is no better way to spend a day doing your laundry. Order a burger and beer, load the machines, eat, play pool, order another, switch to the dryer, order a shot, put an extra few quarter in those towels to justify the time for another beer, fold, load the car up, and feel great about accomplishing something with your day.

    If I had given up after my first 4-5 late-evening short-lived summer visits to this place it would be stuck with a weak and halfhearted 3 stars. This would be  pretty shockingly low considering I have a serious affinity for authentic local dives and immediately found that this place has a dogfriendly patio, very attentive bartenders, and crazy low prices on some good local drafts ($3.50 pints of some Ballast Point and Karl Strauss brews).

    It would only have been so low because on all those occasions I got hassled a lot and had to deal with very aggressively drunk  patrons.  REALLY aggressively drunk.  Both genders.  Just the guys tended to come up and personally annoy me, but the aggressive and loud female drunks were spoiling my experience as well. Since I usually seem to have a good cloak of invisibility, the harassment here was doubly annoying in its unexpected nature.

    But back to the sequel...Had a great late-happy-hour experience bringing my dog to the patio after work.  Great for me, great for the dog...met up with some very friendly fellow dog-owners and their friends, didn't have to leave my seat for a beer and had some great conversations.

    Then a week later figured I would revisit the later-evening experience since summer is over and it seemed the place should be back to locals-only.  Sure enough, same attentive staff and great prices, but no aggressively drunk wackjobs.  Actually a fun and friendly small crowd, with a team of ladies doing shots to my left and a couple grounded local/industry guys to my right.  Thanks to the inclusive and freebie-happy bartending, this resulted in a couple fun "community shot toast" moments.

    Now I must admit, I got a couple free shots here, but I never mentioned Yelping or any other reviewing.  Pretty sure that free shots are given in an attempt to make it a friendlier and happier atmosphere to retain any female patrons, since the regular  crowd seems a bit male-heavy.

    No opinion on food since I never had any, but the kitchen does look a bit iffy in the sanitation department.

    The best mahi mahi tacos, EVER!  I've only been to The Tilted Stick twice now, and both times left completely satisfied.  The fish is grilled, not fried, and the chunk(s) are ginormous.  The balance of veggies and sauce are right on target.
    I had the cajun fries, too.  They were pretty salty, so next time I might just get the regular fries.  Saltiness aside, the fries were hot and crispy.  Perfect texture.  
    I might add that the tacos were also a touch on the salty side, so be prepared to guzzle down a couple beers (and they do have a decent array on tap).  Probably not a problem for anyone who decides to hit up this kick-ass dive.  
    I also noticed a sign for the bloody mary bar they host on Sundays.  That will definitely be my next stop.

    I live about 1 minute away from this place. I've been there a bunch of times, nearly every time I've had some bad experience. Never with the bar tenders or the food or drinks, usually the patrons. It is a dive bar in the traditional sense but there's an air of superiority about the locals (of which I am one) that I don't appreciate. Every time I've tried to play pool there's been some guy hovering trying to get in on the game. Every time I've used the juke box someone has had something to say about what I pick. Sorry mate, if you can't hack a bit of Testament or Slayer, I don't even know what to tell you. Especially when your dirty ass is adorned with a spiky leather jacket and combat pants that look like they haven't been washed since Nam.

    I realize that this isn't everybody's experience but I most certainly don't agree that if you don't like this place you must be some sort of 'loser wannabe'. If you have an easy time pushing aside the comments of the degenerate pricks (and don't get me wrong, I have nothing against degenerate pricks, until they interfere with me) that frequent the place you'll be fine. If you keep your head down and don't make eye contact you'll be Ok. but if you want to go somewhere and get involved, put some music on, do a little skankin', shoot a frame or two, probably go somewhere else.

    My ex-boyfriend lived across the street from this place. Literally, we were 5 giant steps from his front door to the front door of the stick.

    My favorite memories include, but are not limited to:

    1. The build-your-own-bloody-mary bar that typically opened around 1 or 2pm on Sundays.

    2. The fights between biker guys, biker girls, bitchy girls, 'roidy guys, cats and dogs, cats and cats, former Jerry Springer guests and OB gangs as viewed from the front yard on Saturday nights.

    3. The paprika they dump on the crinkly fries. Spiiiiicy.

    4. The time when my ex's alcoholic cokehead roommate went to the bar with her dog, got drunk, came home, and forgot what she did with the dog. (I pray it's found a better home by now else ran away to fend for itself.)

    5. Despite the location, my will prevented me not becoming regular here. Thank god.

    I've done some epic partying here in the day.  I used to live around the corner and had a tab here.  One of the few places in town that I couldn't get kicked out of.  Once you befriended the owners and bartenders, life was pretty sweet here.  Great chicken wings and the buffalo chicken sandwich is pretty tasty too.  Also, one of the very few places that'll kick your ass on hot spice if you request it.  Naturally, this all leads to drinking more beer.  Actually all the food was great.

    Crazy times.  I remember the day they got their full bar license.  Holy crap, was it out of control.

    I haven't been down there in a while, but last time I was there they were doing a respectable job at serving some local beers.  AleSmith and I think Alpine Ale were on tap.  

    I miss the place.  I'll have to go down and visit someday.

    My second visit to the stick--the one where I wasn't blacked out--was 8PM on 4/20.

    There's a sign there that says "don't smoke weed out back, go around the fucking corner like everyone else".

    And there was this chick that was so baked that she fell out of her chair.  At 8PM.

    5 stars.
