This place is cool for a group of guys to hang out at. The beer is rather expensive per pitcher but you pay for the eye candy, not the beverage. I’ve read mixed reviews on the attractiveness of the bikini waitresses at this place… but we had once in particular who was very very cute. I forgot what her name was… must have been too distracted to remember =P Come here to get a cool club vibe and drink some beer with the homies. Oh… 4 stars cause beer is expensive and lighting is very dingy and dark… although the«club lighting» added a nice touch.

Overall: This place is freaking awesome because although I do enjoy the clubbing scene for the music, sometimes I would just prefer a place with awesome music without the extra weird men hitting on me or the crowds of drunk people. I like how I can enjoy a nice drink with some friends while enjoying a game of pool. They have TVs & computer games(I think includes blackjack or mahjong) you can play. This place has pool tables, some cute girls in bikinis, and AWESOMEAWESOME music(mainly hiphop remixes and songs you would hear at a club). Drinks: The downside is that they do not have hard alcohol. However, they have various pitchers of beer and some shots of watermelon and(I think) pink lemonade. I had 10 of those tiny shots of watermelon and it gave me a nice happy feeling enough to play pool badly and not give a damn. They also give you peanuts to munch on if you’re feeling hungry. Service: The girls are very friendly(even though I know thats their job), but we had a couple of them down some beer with us as well. I had a lot of fun after my 3 or 4 glass of beer and a few watermelon shots and soon I was dancing with the bouncers. They were laughing at me because I’m so tiny compared to them, but I was dancing around them with my pool stick. One bouncer asked me to do the dougie and even showed me on his phone(youtube). I may have had a few drinks, but it did not make me a better dancer so I don’t know what was he thinking? ;) Environment: It’s a very dark environment, but I love it. It reminds me of the club scene. There is smoking allowed, which I HATE, but since I never seen a big crowd smoking, it doesn’t bother me.

Nice place, but the only problem was random girls coming over serving beers. So if you tip 1 you have to tip the other. A pretty big lounge, even the bouncer are friendly. Couches, music, alcohol, big screen tv, lot of pool tables, girls. What else do you want?

This place is ok, asian owned so its kinda ghetto. Drink prices are ok if you get beer, otherwise it gets kinda pricey. Lots of chairs to lounge around in, and lots of pool tables(although the tables are expensive from what i heard). The music is loud, and yes I know its a «lounge» but there’s no actual dance floor so the loud music is kinda pointless. Some waitresses where cool, and some weren’t. But unless you’re big a baller this place kinda gets annoying, all the waitresses have one goal: to get you to buy more drinks, so they keep pouring and pouring your drink for you until you finish it. Some of them are nice about it and some are just forcing you to down your drinks. Would I come here again? Maybe, but I’d choose others.

Cousin took me here one night. I thought this place was pretty ghetto right off the bat. I wasn’t too impressed with the draft beer I had the night I came. It felt too warm. The pool tables all seem very too close to one another. They need to space them out a bit. As for the waitresses, I think you would find it more enjoyable looking at yourself instead. Don’t expect much out of this place, and it’s definitely not a place to seriously play pool. Go to Hardtimes for that.

Such a letdown. Anyone will tell you that I am thee first person to point out a hot girl. None of the chicks that worked that night were remotely attractive, or even tight-bodied. They looked frumpy, unmotivated and ready to get the fuck outta there. It took a while to serve us and the place wasn’t even packed. When we finally got our pitcher, the beer wasn’t cold. uggghhh. Walked over to carls, grabbed myself a western bacon, and then went to green girls instead where I had a smashing time!

Pretty good place to kill an hour or two with buddies if you’re stuck in Westminster/Garden Grove area… Depending on which night you go, there many be different number of girls working. Needless to say, hot ones are usually in during Fri-Sun. $ 4 beers? Yes please. $ 5 mixed soju shots… uh…depends on who’s asking. $ 110 mixed soju pitchers? I don’t think so! Just grab a few beers, play a game or two pool games, watch sportscenter and go home. If you know someone that works there, you can actually ask for her at the front entrance… instead of getting random girl that works there.

Took my buddy who was visiting from Vegas last night(Friday night) to chill, drink, and shoot some pool. This place used to be a pool hall called TriCue back in the day when i used to hang alot out on Beach and Chapman. Now its filled with cute bikini-clad waitresses and more upscale pool tables, equipment, and furniture. Be sure to bring enough cash(I had to use my credit card cuz i only brought $ 100 cash with me), the waitresses are super-friendly and attentive which is why im giving it 4 stars. The soju shots tasted like Boones Farm but I had a lot of rounds so i was good to go. Pitchers of Heineken were 15 each. Will definitely be back here again cuz I liked the quality of service and it was a chill atmosphere.

I go here once every 6 months or less with a few friends to check out the local attention whores… ahem, I mean, eye candy when there is time to kill. Don’t be fooled by the photos. This place is actually very dark and dirty. It’s a getto lounge which people are allowed to smoke and just throw their ashes on the carpet. It’s obvious that if people are allowed to smoke inside, anyone walking in there to spend some time would walk out of there with their clothes stinking like heavy smoke and the place is not well ventilated either so it gets stuffy in there. The choices of beer is not all that great. The service lacks enthusiasm. They seem too hard pressed for their tip money.(Here’s a tip for the waitresses: «You don’t need to fill my cup every time you see that it’s not filled to the rim», but I don’t blame the girls. That’s probably part of their job description) There is no DJ for this place nor did I see a jukebox. So management decides what you’ll be listening to(mostly loud hip-hop/rap). And this is any time of the day! Did I mention that the young waitresses(fresh out of high school it seems) working there are skimpily dressed? Most of them wear bikinis and some wear lingerie. As you can tell, this attracts all the age range. So don’t be surprised to see wrinkly men in the mix! So fellas! Want to boost your ego? These girls’ job is to make their rounds at each table to chit chat with you, just like Hooter girls where they make their rounds and sign their names on your napkin. The atmosphere hasn’t been terrible for me not to return, nor has it been any better either for me to want to go back more often.

this place is not too expensive for a pretty good time. its not like others because they don’t serve any hard alcohol, so i think they want you to experience the art of conversation with a mild buzz from pitcher after pitcher. the seats are comfortable but with lights so dim, you have to wonder… «would it be safe if i licked the seats? its probably not that clean…» this is a place where i definitely would NOT want to bring a belligerent drunk to because the other patrons seem like the type not to start shite with. people smoke inside and waitresses do paw on you for tips, but ours was nice so it was a good experience for a least busting each others’ balls when it came to being a «smooth operator» i have to say since the ratio of servers and customers is pretty decent you actually get good attention compared to other places so that alone should make it worth while if you have someone fun.

This place is a pool hall with a bar in it. Unfortunately it’s beer only but on a plus side the waitresses are scantily clad. The closest thing to shots is the soju shot which are extremely small. It’s ok if you’re in the area and have nothing else better to do. I most likely won’t be back for a while.

Okay i’m guilty of going here once in a blue moon. Come here either to shoot a little pool, catch some eye candy bootay, and down some beers. Just for fun, and don’t expect anything more than that for all you desperate pervs out there haha. I just get annoyed when this one particular chick keeps on buggin me «me luv you long time wanna take a shot»…umm NO. I ain’t trying be cheap but daymmm it’s not even a REAL shot. Small pint size paper cup filled with wine cooler for goodness sakes!!! $ 5 buck for one, and of course you gotta buy one for the waitress. If you’re buying a whole round for you and your friends, you just got ripped the Fcuk off hahaha. Just a word to the wise don’t say i didnt warn you :)

Phở 54 or this place? Obviously this had to take precedence since it was a guys night out. When all the Vietnamese Coffee Shops close down in the vicinity, this place comes to life at night. I didn’t know this was number 3 in the chain of bikini bars within the Stanton/Buena Park/Garden Grove area. Last night, after an import car meet(haven’t been to one in ages), was dragged here by Daniel-San and his friends to have a drink or two before the road home and to start off the Christmas Eve celebration right. Security was super chill(guess I’ve been having better luck). Walking in, reminded me of all the times going to V20 and every Vietnamese Coffee Shop thus far. Westminster really represents often even on the weeknights. Abundance of LCDs(from the bathroom to the grand scaled ones in the center of the billiard hall). For the guys, the eye candy wasn’t too bad a decent variety. You get pretty full since they full your pitchers of beer like no other and the service is pretty good(that’s the niche of being a chick in a two piece), so tips get dropped probably like Lil Wayne and T-Pain trying to make it rain. Didn’t spend any cash due to the generosity of the group pitching in for two pitchers of heineken(much appreciated and which by assumption wasn’t too expensive). Had some pretzels and beef jerky offered on the side which were alright bar filler food. Overall a good time, wish I could play pool here whenever I come back and visit to get the full experience. No perfect rating yet, because no knowledge on the price for drinks and billards. Otherwise, at least I see the other half of entertainment in the evenings when Westminster’s Bachelors, just want to chill and see«what’s good» in the evening. Cheers, happy holidays folks!

Yikes! this place is so so … the girls are annoying, went there with my hubby and his friends, the girls kinda have this touchy feeling, rubbing themselves to anyone. I was a bartender before and I work for my tips too but these girls were too much, if they lighten up a bit and carry themselves a little classy TIPS would work better for them. Can’t even finish with our beers, kept on bothering us if we wanted more beers, I haven’t got a chance to sip it yet. I can’t hardly understand them nor my friends, Most of them don’t speak very good English. There’s this one girl, kept on touching my face tellin’ my hubby, yo wife so pretty, Gosh I hate to be touch with stranger, dunno where your hands been… After she did that twice, I have to tell her not to touch me. We do like the pool tables, some guys comes after a group finished their games and brush the tables clean. Seems to have newer tables, other than that it’s ok. BTW, why are they allowing these folks to smoke inside the bar? You go home with emphysema.

LOL, to the 1 star givers, they probably follow the Chippendales tours. The girls look good, they give you attention(they make commission off the pitchers of beer, next time you go, notice how each waitress has their own cash register), but it’s good fun. The girls treated me very nice each time I went, so my opinion is biased.

I have been here about 15 to 20 times, I am white and this is a semi Asian hangout, which never bothers me, actually i prefer these type of establishments, i grew up here in Garden Grove. I think K. D is correct, you just might have to be a local to appreciate this type of pool hall/lounge. Admittedly it has lost its flare for me since it has opened a couple years ago, but thats normal. This place is definitely cleaner that most pool halls around Garden Grove, Westminster area and the girls aren’t that bad, its hit or miss on the girls, but if anybody watches The Girls Next Door or has seen the February edition of Playboy will notice a girl named Jessica Burciaga, she worked here for a long while, this is where i met her. Then all the sudden shes doing Hawaiin calendars and playboy centerfolds… You guys cant talk shit on that now can you. There are plenty of DIME Pieces coming through there, most of which are better than your high end strip joint. Pitchers are 15 bucks and they don’t have liquor which blows, but whatever. Good music.

Came here again for a 2nd time last nite and both times I’ve been here was not really by choice. The first time came with a few of my guy friends and a girl friend of mine, first thought walking in… WTF??? I only thought that coffee shops with girls in bikinis exist but never thought about a pool hall/lounge/sports bar would have that; but then after all it’s in OC and next to Westminster. The place is GHETTO and it seems dirty, it feels as if they don’t even have AC because there’s fans everywhere. Also, this place is nothing like a lounge/bar since the only thing I think they serve are beers; didn’t see any hard alki. The girls there in bikinis… Well, I have to agree with Yui S. they are not cute and don’t even have nice bodies. I remember from my first visit, one girl was wearing her bikini and it wasn’t a g-string bikini but yet her ass crack was showing like she’s wearing a small when she should be a medium… TRASHY and GROSS!!! My 2nd visit was last nite, and I came with 2 guys… the place was dead and we just went in for a beer, some foosballs, and photo hunt but our main goal was to show one of the guys that a place like exist if he wanan see below average girls and again the place is still ghetto!!! FYI: The pictures posted looks wayyyyyy better than what it really is. Just imagine the place 10x older than what is shown on the pictures.

This is a local chic reviewing it and I’ll give you the«keep it real» review. This place is for locals. Looking at all the previous Unilocal reviews, doesn’t seem like any locals posted. Pshh. makes sense… well I’m a local and I like this place. Have any of you been to a NICE pool hall in Westminster/GardenGrove? Growing up I use to work at shit-hole pool hall myself and trust me. the LOUNGE is pretty nice The days of Side Pocket, Solid and Point Break are over. We’re lucky a decent one opened up with newly felt tables and pool cues that aren’t badly warped. So what if the girls got a little meat(there was no one real fat but maybe they could lose 15 lbs, I didn’t see no fine ass hot guy clients there!). You come here with your buddies. If you’re looking to bust a mack, go the hell over to Di Vang 2 or Mecca. The girls here are at least nice and walk around and refill your beer if you get a pitcher. ***Girls at coffee shops will barely give you the time of day unless you roll up in your Benzo and even then. they sit behind the coffee shop counter and do rock paper scissors on whos turn it is to walk around and refill the iced teas.*** The pool tables are nice, the music system is insane(don’t expect to hold a conversation) that shiet is BUMPIN’! I was playing photohunt(which by the way is 25 cents. yay!!!) and as I put my back against the wall I can feel the vibrations. Huge TV flatscreens everywhere. and They have 6 mega touch machines. You know that is considered a lot? Most places have 2 – 3 at most. I like the set up of the place and I took my friends and they liked it too. Maybe young pple are spoiled these days but Dave n Busters is not a REAL pool hall so don’t compare the Lounge to one. Pool halls are suppose to smell. reek like urine and your lucky if your cup of soda is washed. That’s a definition of a pool hall. The Lounge surpasses that by far. If you dont like this place. go play with the kiddies at Rack n Cue where you can stare at the«cute waitresses» aka the 16 year old Hollister wearing Asian girls. SUMMARY: Nice pool tables, bumpin music, friendly chics in bikinis, and they let you smoke inside. Plain and simple. If those are NOT important requirements to you. then just don’t come to the lounge.

This place is a JOKE… right??? I thought bikini bars have hot girls? And gee, I never thought a bar would have 10 stools… TOTAL in the WHOLEPLACE. First off, the place is big. There’s lots of pool tables, as shown in the picture that someone posted up. Unfortunately, the pool tables are taxed! and it’s usually pretty crowded, so good luck waiting for a table to open up. They serve nothing but beer. I think the have water… but, no thanks. Not a beer drinker, so I sit on whatever I can find, since all the stools are taken. There are seriously 10 stools in the whole place and drunk people may not mind because they are walking around, socializing, blah blah. But it would be nice to think of those who are DDs or non-beer drinkers who are unable to get intoxicated just by smelling beer fumes.– WEWANTTOSIT! Girls walking around in bikinis… I like looking at girls, but I only like looking at PRETTYGIRLS who have nice bodies. I’m allergic to fat flabby ugly girls, which is probably why I kept itching during and after our trip to the lounge. Sorry, not to be conceited, but seriously, girls are in bikini to show off their sh*t. and there was none of that here. All I saw were their fat jiggling as they were walking around… dude – GROSS. I went cus the homies wanted to go. Yes, they are frequent visitors of this place. Me? Well, I have pretty high standards of what I like to look at. To me, this place is just another place for dogs to hound at whatever they can get – which can’t be much if you’re going after these girls… I’m not judging these girls on their personalities, by the way, I’m judging them on how they look because they’re asking for it by working there. Owner/manager needs to hire average or above looking girls, buy more of those tall uncomfortable stools and get more game machines. There are only 3 or 4 in the corner and usually people can’t play on them because someone has stolen the chairs to sit somewhere else. greeaaat.
