Duffy’s Restaurant

It is what it is. You could come in on a bangin night, or you could show up and be the only ones there. Always a surprise. But always a good time. Thanks jay!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Also lots of pretty women here. Spend my weekday here just off work and jay help me out. Was one of the best bartender I had. Will be back every weekend for my drinking needs.

This bar sucks too many idiots! I have hung out in a lot of shiity bars but this one takes the cake. Talk about low lives, not one person in the bar had an ounce of class. You could not pay me to step foot in this «bar» again.

This place is the best of the worse. Filthy beat up venue with the charm of a rattlesnake. You want to find a dive this is it.
I was befuddled by the hobbit door in the front, and surprised when on a Friday at midnight there were no more than ten patrons, most of which obviously regulars, huddled around the counter with a lone bartender. No music was on, so it was really quiet, and really awkwardly so.
If you want to crawl home this is the place to do it. A no nonsense bar to put you on your butt for cheap with the finest of the bottom of the barrel. No mixed drinks here. No top shelf that’s for sure.
Cleaner bathroom than Buffalo Wild Wings in Brea.

I reall like this place great people. .great bartenders. But this new guy. Not a bartender… really sucks. He’s not very into making sure the customers come first .i guess his phone is more important. …that and stealing out of the cash drawer to play pool… no worries. Just wont show up when he’s try n to figure out how to make a real drink. …

Pool tables and cheap drinks. My go to spot for sure. Halloween is crazy and crowded but a great party and there’s Jell-​O shots!

Worst bar within 50 miles. Walked in and there was like 10 people in there on a Friday night at 12am and the old man behind the bar didn’t even acknowledge us, so we walked out and went to downtown Fullerton where it’s alittle pricier but way better service

Do you like fancy twelve dollar signature cocktails and indie pop or hipster underground music? Do you like going to «dive bars» ironically? If so, don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Duffy’s is my home bar, and anytime I return to la habra I go there. I used to be in there at least three times a week. During the day it’s quiet and laid back with older regulars, and at night it gets a younger crowd in. Everyone comes here, it’s not a niche bar. You’ll see a guy in a suit drinking next to a Guy in a wife beater with neck tattoos. The drinks are very affordable, the bartenders have been working there forever and are great people. They decorate for every holiday but Halloween is off the hook!!! If you have to only go to one bar on Halloween, this is the place! The food when they serve it (sometimes they do, and sometimes they don’t) is the usual bar food, and the breakfast is good. If you’re really drunk and hungry though there’s alway the ⁷⁄₁₁ next door. Duffy’s to me is the perfect neighborhood bar. You walk through a door cut into a giant beer barrel, no windows, no bullshit, two pool tables, two dart boards, a jukebox, and everyone knows each other. God bless Duffy’s.

If your looking for a dive bar, Heads&Tails is next door, and also near by is Tubby’s Tavern and Squires Inn. I don’t normally mention other establishments in reviews but Duffys is not worthy of such consideration. I’ve stopped in here a few times and always leave annoyed.
For the record I love divvy bars… but I still have expectations. For my perspective the owners and employees at Duffys do not even try. They place is always messy and dusty. You will not receive an ounce of friendliness, and they disregard health regulations. (Seriously, chose a bottled beer if your gonna give his place a try)
So besides all that I have still given this place a try on a few occasions (maybe they are working on it… maybe it was a bad night… idk but I try to keep an open mind), however after my last visit I will not be back and I will actively encourage other people to avoid the place.
During my last visit I was disappointed to see that they were serving BBQ, seeing as there kitchen has been closed for years… But whatever, I ordered my drinks and kept to myself. When I was ready to leave I spent 10 minutes trying I get someone’s attention. There were plenty of employees behind the bar but they were too busy eating (AND LICKING chicken off their fingers) to be bothered with customers. I shouted a little, «excuse me», a few times but was totally ignored. Finally I shouted, I want to close my tab because I am going to leave”, and was disdainfully greeted by an man, who said, «what is it??!» I gave him my card and asked to close and he didn’t even know what we had (this is a Sunday, early evening, probably only 20 people in the entire building, and we are the only people that clearly are not regulars, we had one pitcher I beer AND we were sitting at the bar the entire time so it’s not like they didn’t noticed us)
So I paid my tab and mentioned to the man that there was another customer who had wanted another beer for a while (I know this bc I was sitting by him and he complained and grumbled and few times)… The employee looked and me with hate in his eyes, and said, «NO. You’re wrong!»
WHAT??? How, why, did he think that would ever be an appropriate response?!! I was stunned… especially considering they illegally serving food. My husband thought I should call the city to report them but I didn’t want to be vindictive just because of an ignorant employee. I figure I’ll just save any of my Unilocal buddies from wasting their time and lonely on this dump.

I will never go there again! The bartender had the personality of a brick. The sign out front says food, but when you ask them for a menu, he said «all we have are chips and peanuts, if you want to go next door and bring something back, it would be okay». Next door was a 7 – 11!
I ordered to Graygoose vodkas and got something that was not even as good as most well vodkas. I have no idea what it was, but it was not Graygoose!
The barstools are all ripped and wobbled. The place stunk. I will just stop here.

Having moved to la habra recently, I couldn’t go to my normal dive bar. I needed a new place to call my home away from home. Duffys is the best! I came her looking for local bars. We don’t like sports bars or bars with weird, over crowded impersonal vibes. This bar is divey, yes. But that’s the charm! The bar tenders are always awesome. Jay is the man and Mr Jim can make a good drink. Always run into the same regulars and some other locals. Always have a great time. Always have good drinks. Always have great pricing. Come here! You’ll feel welcome and have an awesome night!

This is a pretty cool little local place to get a beer without having that High School Reunion feeling that you get like when you go to Tubbys. The drinks are cheap and the bartender Jay is cool. They have a pretty cool claw machine there that I have never seen anyone win anything out of except for me! I won a pack of cigarettes on my first try, The pressure was on but I somehow handled it like a boss winning a pack of cigarettes for 50 cents. Later that night I would walk off into a foggy night my smoke blending into the fog, me walking into the fog, me being consumed into the night, me being one with the night.

So, I ended up coming back here after a long time and a bad experience.
A few things have changed. First and foremost, THERES NO MORE SMOKING INSIDE! YAY! Apparently the bartender switched to vaping (cause it’s hella better) so no more cigs but he does sell vapes and vape juice.
Actually that’s it. Everything else is exactly the same lol. But at least now I’m fine coming here sometimes.
Oh one thing I noticed this time was the pool table set-​up is kinda lame. Once you hit a ball in a hole that’s it. You can’t get it out (except the white ball). So you can’t actually play the game properly. But I suppose mostly drunk people are playing pool here, it’s not like there’s pro tournaments or anything, so it don’t matter.
Dive bars never deserve more than 3 stars in my opinion. Until I meet a dive bar that isn’t gross and grungy and full of bro’s, 3 stars is tops.

I love this bar! Small but cozy a little on the older side but I just love it prices are right and service is great! Music u do pay for but it loud and cheap! (:

Me and my buddy come often now. Drinks are cheap. Dive bar feel. To me its cool. After work come grab a drink. Play pool and they have wifi. For Halloween they go all out. Check it out. Jay the bartender is great

Stinky and smoky… but if you’re looking for a dive bar (or to get hit on by drunks) then here ya go!
Just went in for a couple with a friend. Was ok, had fun. Might go back but who knows. Pool tables and tv’s…
To be fair, wasn’t what we had in mind for that night so it could rate more stars on a different night. Not a fan of smoky bars anymore though I guess… I’m old? ((sigh))
Cheers Duffy’s!

Duffy’s is the shit, I was gonna give em 3 stars but gave em 4 just to spite miss annbriel b down there with her shitty attitude. If you dont like cigarette smoke dont go, simple as that. Pool for 75 cents and new castle on tap, c’mon! Bartenders are pretty chill and the crowd the bar attracts seems to be hit or miss. All in all its a dive bar, cant be to critical on the place.

I have been coming to La Habra for years because my family owns a place off Whittier and Walnut and I have been meaning to come to this place, although quite sure I would get stabbed. I was pleased to see a nice quiet crew in here and they were watching Monsters Inc on two huge flat screens… when I questioned it after about 15 minutes the old guy next to me said to me «who doesn’t love Pixar…»
I ordered a beer intending to have one, but when I wanted two the bar tender just charged me the pitcher price for the two beers– very cool and yes they have New Castle and thats legit.
I will definitely come back here– the only negative is that it is a smoking magnet.

Love this place!
Its Cheap,
they have Newcastle on tap for about 11 bucks a pitcher!
People are friendly, pool is 75 cents. Tacos are good and so is there sampler and lastly you can smoke inside!
Its a dive bar, a perfect little place.

It’s Thursday night — college night. Parking is hell in Downtown Fullerton, bars are crowded, where does one go to get a drink? Duffy’s.
I went to Duffy’s for the first time last night with my girlfriend. For a guy who look likes he’s 15 (It runs in my family) the moment I entered everyone looked and stared at me. I’m used to that but at most of the bars down in DTF, that doesn’t usually happen at all. The crowd is a little bit older (Late 20’s, 30’s) than the typical fresh 21’s-college crowd you get in Downtown Fullerton, but overall everyone was very friendly, fun and was just there to have a relaxing fun time.
Our bartender for the night, Jay was pretty damn awesome. They had Newcastle Brown Ale on tap too, something I could have never dreamed of getting on a Thursday night at any bar in DTF.
We also got the sampler and man! Some of the best jalapeño poppers, onion rings, chicken, and curly fries I have ever had!
Definitely going to go back to Duffy’s for some more fun!
