This is a legit dive bar. Drinks are reasonably priced, and they have a pool table. The bartenders are respectful and friendly, and are quik to get you another drink when you need it. They have a modern jukebox as well so you can search and play your favorite songs after a few tankards of ale.

It’s a pretty cool dive bar. I love how you get to walk into double sided doors, like from a good ol’ western bar. The drinks here are at a pretty reasonable price… More on the lower spectrum. There’s really not that much to do– they have one of everything. They had one dart board, one video game, one pool table, etc. This place would be more fun if they had a couple more pool tables. Because when we got there we were ninth on the list, which was probably a three hour wait! Other than that, it was a pretty cool place to watch a little bit of baseball and to grab a beer or two. Definitely more of the chill dive bar.

One of the best dives I have been too! Service is good and they give awesome pours! Parking lot in this plaza sucks. There is darts, pool table, jukebox, and a bunch of TV’s. If you are from the area, you will probably run into someone random here. Hennessy, on the rocks — $ 6 — hefty ass pours! You can definitely get tossed up for cheap!

Great place to just stop by for drinks. Pretty cheap here and the pours are good. Parking in the back. Don’t drink and drive! Occasionally there are police in the back.

This is by far the best dive bar in Arcadia. The service is always on point and the bartenders(Natalie and Samantha) are the best! When anyone from out of town comes I always take them here because the atmosphere is super friendly. The drinks are super heavy and are well worthy the price.

I’m not a fan of dive bars, but I’ve been here a couple of times over the last few years for friend’s birthdays and social gatherings. The bartenders are very friendly. There’s a pool table, jukebox, darts, but everything is usually taken, especially on a busy night. Drinks are decently priced.

Drinks are strong and cheap. Expect somewhere around $ 6 for a large glass. No hipster mixologist creations here, but popular well drinks are available. I’ve had gin and sprite, Long Island, and it was either a Sex on the Beach or Cosmopolitan, I can’t quite remember. They tasted alright. The dive bar scene is strong here. It’s not really my thing, but I thought it was an interesting find in sleepy Arcadia. The venue is actually really small with a pool table and some small circular high tables that seat 2 – 3 people at the back away from the bar. Strangers will overhear EVERYTHING you say, so be careful of what you wish to divulge lol. Another downside is that there is no food. If you get the munchies, there are individual snack sized bags of Lay’s potato chips. My friend and I hopped over to Shawn Café next door after. Parking is ample behind the building; enter as if you were going to Wells Fargo and Bank of America.

I was a bit skeptical of this place at first, but after going inside the bar, the vibe was chill. The drinks are reasonably priced, and they have a pool table(4 quarters to play) and a Juke box with lot’s of the latest music. The staff is very friendly.

The most warm and friendliest bartenders I have ever met! They make everyone there feel like family. Drinks are very well priced and the environment you can’t beat. Give this place a try, you won’t regret it!

This is the place me and my friends always go to after dnb closes. It’s located right next to tasty garden and Shawn café on Baldwin ave. Parking is okay, there will be times when there’s absolutely no parking and you have to park far, but most of the times it should be okay. This bar is extremely small, you’re allowed to smoke in the front or in be back, and they have darts and a pool table for you to play with. Even though it’s small, it still feels comfortable as long as you have a seat to sit on. Sometimes it gets so packed that you might have to stand around. It can get crowded on days like Thursday-Saturday’s but that only happens if a certain party has like a huge party coming. Me and my friends always love coming here because it’s so cheap($ 7 for a shot of goose) and they give you fat shots here! I can never finish the shot all in one gulp, I have to take my time and drink it. Ask to make your shots chilled because it tastes better that way obviously. The workers here are so nice. The more you come, the more they will remember you & they will hook you up with shots. They also have chips if you’re hungry and they have one game station where you can play games on some sort of computer. My favorite game on there is spot the difference.

Awesome dive bar. Clean, relax atmosphere, and VERY reasonably priced drinks. Good crowd demographics, not too young or too old. Great place to kick back and watch the game with your buddies, or play a few games of darts. Bartenders are always friendly, and they don’t cheap you out with weak drinks; and you have SinBala right across the street! It doesn’t get better than the Station, I meet my friends here all the time; highly recommended.

Been here a couple of times with friends and it wasn’t too bad. There are definitely pros but I feel the cons outweigh them just a bit. Pros: Good atmosphere & environment, friendly bar tenders/people, drinks aren’t too pricey. Cons: It can get cramped in there because the place is pretty small. I don’t mind small dive bars but I always feel compacted and unable to move whenever I came to The Station. Restrooms are equally small. Takes a while to get on the pool table! And finally, even though the people there are friendly, it’s a much older crowd most of the time. I’ll still come here if some friends are heading over but it won’t be my first choice.

It’s always Sam or Nat working at this place. Always. When bartenders stick along at a bar for this long, I’m talking 5 — 10 years, you know this place is a hidden gem! Cheap beers, great vibes and excellent services!

Drinks are decently priced. The ambiance is pretty divey if ur into that sorta thing. Not really my type of scene. The drinks are pretty basic and their best/only craft beer is lagunitas IPA. Overall Id just come here to get drunk or if was havin a chill night with friends. Other than that this spot isnt really gonna attrach ppl in its on right. Other than that the spot can get pretty crowded but its not really my type o scene.

I went there in the afternoon on a Saturday and the place was pretty empty — only two customers and the bartender. When I tried to strike up a casual conversation with the bartender, he scowled at me! It all went downhill from there. I asked him if he had a menu, and he asked, «What kind?» I replied that I would like to see a drink menu, and he said they don’t have any.(I’m pretty sure there’s no kitchen there, at least none that I saw, so even the question was just to give me a hard time.) After that, he simply ignored me-with the exception of the occasional nasty glare. I was there to do a pricing audit and also wanted to order a drink, but I wasn’t going to beg to give that guy my money! I have no idea why he was so rude to me, and based on the reviews I read, it doesn’t seem like the norm for this place, but I will never go back!

A very cheap dive bar that happens to be surrounded by Asian cuisine. When I say cheap, I mean you can get several drinks for under $ 20, the bartenders are great, quick, and know their liquor. The Station also houses some Dart machines that you can entertain yourselves with, they have a bunch of TVs, and they also have an outside patio for the smokers. It is a great chill place in the 626 if you are looking for a place to grab a drink and just chill. My brother and I came early, but people were packing in. They also have happy hour to make it even cheaper for you.

May 16, 2014 Friday Night Been here multiple times, but didn’t realize you can check in here. Any-whoo, here’s my review. DRINKS are CHEAP, only ONE pool table, ONE juke box, restrooms are really small and cramped, but DRINKS are GOOD and STRONG! Great people, great service, and great crowds. You know, when you walk in that these people all know each other… you just know when they come in and start greeting everyone from right to left.

Growing up in the 626, I’ve always wondered about this place. Everyone seem to always be going in and out on weekends when my friends and I go to Tasty Garden for a late dinner or something. Finally had a chance to visit this dive-y little bar. $ 2.50 domestic, $ 2.75 well happy hour. Monday to Friday 4−7pm Man that is cheeeeeeap. There’s TVs everywhere. So if you were ever in Arcadia and just wanted something to drink, they got a full bar here. The crowd here on a Wednesday night(6ish) was pretty local. And in Arcadia that means a bunch of older(50+) Caucasian gentlemen. Cool little bar, seems super chill, bunch of TVs, can’t wait to revisit on a busier night.
