Tustin Inn

One fine Saturday I was kinda stood up from a previous engagement  and I was looking to get into trouble (muahahaha) Lucky me Pablito (aka Paul P) was my partner in crime and we decided to "exploring" our hoods in what we called The D-Tour (D as in Dive bar)

I'm going to start with our last stop: Tustin Inn
Why? because it was the best from the 3 bars we went!!
I couldn't believe that when lived in Tustin,  I drove by this place like a million times and never went there.
My first impression was that Tustin Inn was a  normal dive with regulars and all

Even though it was clearly a dive, it was pretty clean, bathrooms and all.

But then Jill, the bartender, started talking to us and seems like it was our stamp of approval because after that people were even more friendly to us.
We had beers (regular stuff nothing too fancy or exotic), watch game and played some music. BTW the jukebox has pretty good stuff.

The only thing I dislike about Tustin Inn is that is a CASH ONLY bar!
That's AWFUL!!!!!!!!!! they have one abusive ATM that charge you for the money (as if the banks were not already making $$ with our $$ but that's a different story)  

Kudos to Jill! great talker, not intrusive, super nice, attentive and friendly.
Cheap beer, and over all a cool bar to go.

Recommended if thirsty in the area.

I'll be back!

I love this place it's cool and the vibe is great and the bartender I had was awesome she was very cool and quick and I love that it wasn't over crowded.

The drinks are cheap the music is awesome!

I am not saying this just because I was drunk I mean it!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why, but I kind of dig this place. It's hard to find a dive bar that doesn't feel like a scary place that you're going to contract something from touching the glasses.

The bar has a nice cozy feel to it, you're right there, close to the bartender. They serve goldfish instead of usual peanuts of pretzels, which I find kind of cool. It wasn't full of weirdos or people trying to start fights, which is rare for dive bars.

The beer selection is fairly limited, but I was blown away to see that they have a tap for one of the local microbreweries (Bootleggers I believe). Our bartender reminded me of Karen Allen, also kind of cool. This would be a great place to enjoy a beer with a friend or two in the evening.
