The SportsBarFly Color Commentary
Grub: Typical bar fare. I love the cheeseburgers. Don’t judge me.
Cocktails: Decent beer list. Full bar. Reasonably priced.
Crowd: Pretty varied but you really don’t want to be there during a UFC fight. The crowd gets.. sketchy
Staff: Really friendly. They remember you if you come in regularly. I especially like the bartender Caleb who is friendly and will try hard to accommodate your game-viewing needs.
Space: Flat-screen TVs are placed throughout the bar. You can choose a booth or a table – or even a couch area to watch the game. Al Bundy would be happy here. They also have an outdoor patio area with TVs for you smokers.
TV Packages: They have EVERYTHING.
Interwebs: Yes! My laptop connects automatically and if I show up without my laptop they look at me funny.
Bathrooms: Dark and a little creepy. Especially on a busy night. Let’s just say that the valley girls need to learn to pee IN the toilet.. not ON it. I really hate breaking the seal here.
Team allegiance: You’ll love this bar if you’re a Lakers fan and – during college football season – a Longhorn. This is an official Longhorn Alumni bar.
Events and Specials:
Tuesday: Karaoke and $4 margaritas (after 10 p.m.)
Wednesday: Party bingo with proceeds going to charity (after 10 p.m.)
Thursday: Rock Band! (after 10 p.m.)
Friday: Flashback Fridays: 80s and 90s video DJ, $4 pitchers (10-11 p.m.), and Late Night Happy Hour after 11
Saturday: College night with drink specials with college I.D. (CSUN?). Beer pong. Debauchery, I imagine.
