Tropicana Sports Bar

OMG! It creeps me out when places I like have not been reviewed! Especially when they have high clientele!

Well, let me start off by saying that this place is a dive. NOT A DUMP dive. just a little dive bar that's down the street from my house. Back in the days it used to be hella ghetto but it's cleaned up a lot now.

They got new owners and renamed it. I like it cause they play a variety of music, serve tacos outside and their drinks are reasonably priced. The Owner is cool peoples and I know this because we connected when he told me he was from my dad's father's hometown in Chihuahua, MX. After that he bought me a few drinks and his wife is the bartender.

I haven't been there in awhile because I've been concentrating on my studies  but EVERYTIME I drive past on a Friday or Saturday there are HELLA people outside smoking at least 10-15 everytime I drive by. It leaves me the craving of wanting to go .. haha

I like this spot also cause the cops don't really mess with you in Hawaiian Gardens not to mention it's an on the freeway off the freeway type of deal! love that! ... The area has a repoutation for being ghetto but to me? Back in the days it used to be but not anymore. Although, you will catch a few locals here and there but theres no trouble. The crowd is always nice to me and my gay (male) best friend... so to grab a drink and listen to some tunes and possibly shoot some pool... it's not to bad ;)

I'd recommend it ;)
