Hey! 2 Stars!? You can't be serious Bro. Let's be reasonable. I'm not a regular but I've occasionally dropped in here every time I am back in town, and when I used to bar hop in south bay it was a place that didn't let me down. Let's take into consideration location, atmosphere, music, and amenities. In all honesty this place had a bad rap before. True but it's cleaned up, and yes security has beefed up. How else are you going to make people feel secure. Another bad thing is the restrooms they need remodeling. Oh well. I don't spend too much time in the restroom myself so that's not something I am too concerned with.
Back to the review. Let's take a look at where woolly's is at. South Bay now let's compare it to other dive bars. Archway not cool enough, Stoneys not the same feel it's not off the strip, it's not a place anyone can just land, you have to get to know where it is, paisa bar 1 through 10, and Diamond Jims (it's like a wanna be tequila sunrise in Tijuana you know bar, night club though no dress code for south bay) star gazer that's bad, Plum Crazy/Plum Loco/ and now N Ciiiiiiityyyyyy! (enough said) lol I think you get it. The Tavern, and Wild Wings etc well those are franchise names with franchise prices, food and drinks. Not a bad thing but when we are talking about independent establishments then for what is a dive bar in south bay, where one can get the coldest drinks, at very reasonable prices, and sizes. To play pool, relax with your friends with enough space, be on a main street where anyone can drop in and check it out, One of the best features here is the jukebox allowing you to control the music, it's one of those which can grab music from online so you will always find what you are looking for.
The bartenders are great too. They are all fun, good looking, and serve you with a smile, they will even share laughs which gives one a good feeling. Unlike the akward bartenders on their phones in other places etc.
Brooke was our bartender the last few times we've been there, and we've come with different friends. I can honestly say she's one of the friendlier ones, and really makes the crowd feel at home, and would even remember what we were having. That is great when things pick up and the crowd gets going. Was going to go for four stars amigos, but after reading everything that makes this place a winner in South Bay. It is as good as it gets for the South Bay.
Was not feeling this place at all. Dj was not great and the music played there was garbage. Thank god it had a pool table to keep me busy. (even though it was in even as all get out!) and I'm sorry but the security measures to get into this place are ridiculous. TSA at the airport isn't that thorough. It's a hole in the wall trying to be a night club. SMH
