  Been in town for a few weeks working.   It depends o who's bartending.  .. Hard to get a drink unless the older ex hippie girl knows you.  ...  Too bad.  Spend alot of money for hotel, and nowhere to get a beverage.  ...  Go to the nearest store. Stay in the room.

  If you've heard hear a story about a bar fight in Sonora, it probably happened here. That said, I try to stay away from here as much as possible. Unfortunately  a few friends like the strong drinks they pour, so I usually end up here once during a visit.
  
  Its an old place  probably been around since the town itself. Its a hole in the wall kind of place, but more pit and less hole  It always smells, has the worst patrons, and zero customer service. Don't even think of going near the bathrooms!! Head down the street to the other bar instead. They are much better than this place.

  Ah...The old Iron Lung.  Used to spend some time here and have always had fun.  It's an interesting place to bring the city folk.  Jukebox is great if you don't get a douche playing Billy Rae all night.
  
  P.S. I think you can still smoke in this bar, hence the "iron lung" reference.

  This place is awesome! My husband & I stopped in for a few drinks before turning in for the night & I'm glad we did. We met all kinds of characters & had a blasty! Looks like it was the place to hang out & have a real good time if you're not stuck up & into the meat-market club atmosphere. Just good booze, good ole boys & smokin to boot! I can't wait to go back.

  The only bar I've ever been at where it was packed, a fight started, and everyone but me and my 3 companions were fighting.  We just kept drinking because poof -- just like that, everyone went back to their business.  Gotta love Tuompton.
  
  One of the guys who works here is seriously Sam Elliott from Roadhouse, limp and all.  
  
  Since moving to Oakland, I always hear hipsters talk about how much they like "dive bars."  Yeah right.  This is the real deal, folks, and it will scare the bejeesus out of all y'all emo kids.  Go.

  5 stars is warranted once you get to see a 300 pound Latino try to choke-hold an 85 pound, 60 yr. old bartender.
  
  Hard-fucking-core!
  
  Went with Joey C. to visit Lacey P. in her village and ended up in a drunken haze requesting cigarettes.  Who doesn't smoke when they're drunk nowadays?
  
  So, what's better than a bar you can smoke in?  A bar that sells cigarettes you can smoke inside!
  
  Yep, we were officially in a Village.  Joey C. put it quite accurately when he described the village as one of those pictures you see in a Wells Fargo of a Gold Rush Boom-town.
  
  There is a small dance floor, a pool table, American beers, hard liquor and live music - quite the happening small-town place.
  
  If you're ever in Sonora, go here, but watch your tongue - a 300 pound Latino can mess a sista up.

  My favorite dive bar in town. This place has definate character. Its not everyday you can get cheap liquor, smoke inside, schmooze with tweakers and weirdos, see an occasional altercation, and scam on young hot men all in one place. There is definate crowd diversity here. Gets really crowded on Fri./Sat. nights, you'll always run into someone here. Also the randomly hot cowboy singer is a good draw as well. Sometimes it takes forever to get a drink or to settle a tab, so bring cash to speed up the process.
