Where Else? Right here! This is a great place! Staff Rocks! Metz the bartender is a plethora of information. Don the owner is one of the best. Love this place! Been going here since the 80’s. Must be doin’ something right seein’ that it has outlasted most of the failed Elk Grove bars that have come and gone every 5 years or so. Rock your lounge socks off here!

A decent enough bar with a unique look and plenty of slot machines. The crowd seemed a bit trashy and the female bartender looked like a gangbanger. The beer was cheap though this does not look like a bar you would want to eat food.

WAS a great little bar where everyone was friendly and great and treated you like a valued customer. Now, they fill up their popular hard liquor bottles with cheap disgusting alternatives and sell them to you at a regular price. Very deceptive practices. Enough to make me(a 5 year regular) stop going there. It’s amazing how Don, the owner, doesn’t seem to understand why none of the regulars from years past come in anymore.

Don’t waste your time going here. They serve low quality hard liquor at top shelf prices… Best part is that the owner WILL yell at you about this fact, no matter how nice you try to be about it. If you want to be treated poorly and charged too much for plastic bottle(errr… I mean they said it was«jack daniels» even though I’ve been drinking it my entire life) booze then this is the place for you!

Cheap beer. A picture of beer only 6.00. No food on Sundays is a bummer.

Haven’t been here in quite a while, but I remember finding it rather endearing. Total dive. Like, dive dive. Karaōke! Not a long wait, depending on who shows up! Friendly regulars. Cheap drinks. I’ll need to go again sometime soon. I’ll be back with an update…

Can you say Reagle Beagle? Possibly in a retirement home Reagle Beagle? This place is so horrible it is great. The antithesis of a dive bar so if you are an aficionado of dive bars, make it a point to do a small pub crawl in EGV and hit this place… you won’t be disappointed!

A solid 3.5-star dive. We went here for dinner, actually, because we had an Entertainment Book coupon, and figured what the heck. It’s sort of ‘70s-bar kitsch, but light on the kitsch. Definitely a neighborhood hangout joint. The waitress was friendly and service was good. The menu was pretty limited, but the food was actually good. The mozzarella sticks were quite interesting — cheese rolled up in some sort of pastry dough, as opposed to breaded sticks. Tasty and unusual. My patty melt was good — the meat was very tender and the onions were great — but the bread was super greasy. My husband’s burger was reported to be tasty. It’s not any place special, really, but if you’re in the area and looking for a drink or a bite or both, I wouldn’t shy away from going back either.

Um, karaōke! Need I say more? Just in case… The place is kinda a dive. Drinks weren’t too bad. Miller Lite bottle was $ 3.25, I think. My friends came for the alcohol, but I found out there was karaōke and took advantage of that. Hardly anyone wants to sing with me, so I put in for three songs and sang it up. We did a couple group tunes and everyone cheered us on, or let us sing with them, or danced for us. My friend and I had a dance-off to Ice, Ice, Baby. I won. It was just too bad they didn’t have some of the songs I really wanted. But it kept me entertained until 3am for just over $ 3.
