The bartender Sarah is super rude and asked me to level immediately after walking in and said it was due to my slurpee. She wouldn’t even let me bring it outside. She seemed like she was enjoying the all men patrons attention and didn’t want any females inside the bar. It was extremely lame. When I asked for the managers name and phone number I had to drag it out of her. Aside from the bartender, the people that come here are old and young degenerate low lifes. Would not recommend this nasty bar.

Off the hook is an awesome dive bar. No one cares what you do. You might be sitting between a hobo and a google employee but no one notices. Bring your bike in, bring your dog in, whatever. Very nice bartenders, a bunch of cheap pool tables, and a very divey environment. This place is for the true dive bar enthusiast.

The place just started having some great food! Best chicken wings around! Hamburgers are amazing!

I was there for a comedy show which is put on by Johnny Corn. Who is a local comic. Funny show. Good drinks. Sam at the bar does a great job with mixed drinks! Awesome! I would recommend it. NO food there. Just a dive bar. But I love it. the outside patio is great. All and all it is the best kept secret in Campbell.

In good conscious– I can not do more than 2 stars. Even now I switch between 1 star 2 stars, 1 star, 2 star? I met a few coworkers after work. The sold me on «total dive bar». That was an understatement! I walk in and I order something simple. White Russian. I chat with some friends, I turn around and I wish I took a picture. Bartender was chopping milk out of the container. Apparently they believe if you freeze it, it will last longer. WTF. I immediately cancel the order and asked for a beer. On tap? No way! I’m only drinking from bottles in this place. I make a comment to my service industry buddies– they laugh and tell me they weren’t surprised. In fact the place has rats and the staff have each rat their own name. I asked why they brought me here, one of my friend chuckled and said«you told me you prefer dive bars.» This would be a decent place if they spruced up the patio. It has little bar games here and there. The bartenders are friendly. Other than that, nope. Can’t say I will be back.

Great dive bar. Pitchers are $ 15 bucks, pool tables are clean and well kept. Can’t ask for more from a dive bar. Oh there’s a juke box too. The new digital ones. If the music is too low ask the bartender to raise the volume, they are nice people. 420 friendly lol.

First thing is first… reading some of these reviews and laughing, its a dive bar people come on now? Whats a dive bar without some rough edge? Anyways, my friends and I LOVE this bar. Everyone is always friendly and I love the owner Sam he is always there and very accommodating. He is remodeling the place and I am sure its going to be even better. The drinks are well priced and it is nice to have a bar walking distance that has a pool table and a juke box. We will come here time and time again… so many great memories!

My friends and I come here a lot to buy a pitcher, play pool and drop some cash into the jukebox. The crowd is usually very friendly and they allow dogs. They sometimes have beer pong and they have a few arcade games in the back. There’s also a pretty huge outdoor area to smoke at which also has a pool table(can’t remember if there’s one or two). Overall, it’s pretty effin divey. –1 star because sometimes you can encounter aggressive personalities when you’ve done nothing wrong and sometimes I just want to chill with my girls without having some guy or group of guys trying to talk to us.

I like to seek out dive bars in the area and probably visited the 12 closest in the area. This one is actually the closest to me and I walk by it regularly. I went in once and as far as dive bars go this is one of the diviest. There is really nothing appealing of being here, it smells, it’s dark, and right in front of the door people smoke every day and night. There are signs posted for no smoking within 25 feet of the entrance, but I’ve never seen that enforced and a lot of that smoke just gets carried inside. I really wish they would do something about the smoking problem, because the bar is in a convenient location, but just the thought of going inside again gives me the chills. I wish this would be completely replaced with a decent Sports bar where you could breathe and enjoy watching a game.

meh… not really my type of a dive bar though the bartender was super nice. Drinks and pricing was decent. Just wasn’t feeling the vibe with skateboarders hanging outside the entrance. Probably will not go back unless drugged and dragged there.

Went last night, a Tuesday on my Winter vacation. It was Tuesday, so as you might imagine it was dead. Put a few dollars in the jukebox, got a Coors, and wandered around the giant enclosed patio while husband and friend played pool. The bartendress was amicable to my chattiness. But that happens more often than not when you try to be friendly. I’ll be back on a weekend to check it out again.

Everytime i walk by this place i hear a horrible version of Pearl Jam’s Jeremy. Everyone rants and raves about bars, «Its so great. This place is amazing!» NO! It really isnt. You are just drunk. Most bars are the same. Disgusting, dirty little venues filled with pricks and whores that are constantly fucking each other. STD factory location Campbell. If you like to drink watered down piss out of mason jars and get fucked in the ass while someone steals your wallet then come here.

Excellent people. Amicable bartender. Very chill regulars. Since I’m a dive bar kind of person, normally this would be all I ask for; however, on the particular day I arrived, the beer taps were not working — NONEOFTHEM. C’mon guys, you’re killing me! Pains me not to give a higher review but I can’t forgive that sin completely.

Dive bar. ‘Nuf said. They didn’t even have red wine. But they did have two pool tables and karaōke the night I went. If you’re a smoker, there is a HUGE outdoor space in the back. it even has a bball hoop(wtf?). It was uninviting, however, I’m not a smoker.

Thanks for making me a $ 10.00 drink with Takaa(sp?). AWESOME. I LOVED sitting in the smelly back patio with all the office furniture. was great! Kinda reminded me of drinking on the job. not that I ever would. But it was great for my imagination. Finally… thanks for the crazy ghetto chicks that tried to beat me and my friend up over the terrible Dave Matthews Band song that was blasting. Who picks that at a bar anyway? HAHA. Id rather stay home than go out to that shit-hole ever again.

Well this place is no doubt a dive bar. It is kind of a dump and disorganized but that is way makes it A-OK. It is huge because it has a great outdoor patio in the back. There is a San Jose kickball league that goes there on Wednesday nights with about 200 young adults playing drinking games, and it makes for a fun seen. They also serve food I have not ate any yet but if you are there Wednesdays and its busy do not order because it takes a long time. But usually its is not that crowded and good place to get a cheep drink

Out of all the dive bars BF drags me to I’d have to say I enjoy this one the best. It’s pretty much made up of three large rooms: Its main entrance is roomy, they have a large bar area, good sound acoustics(music not too loud but not too low either), There’s a large outdoor back area(for the smokers and more pool players) dart boards and more pool tables inside. The first time I came here was karaōke night(i dont know why i’m always out at every bar’s karaōke nights!) but it was fun, the lighting was a little exposed and there isn’t a real ‘stage’ area; however it was nice that the smokers can still be part of the party. All my drinks were strong and moderately priced. I just wish it didnt smell like they hadn’t wiped up the spilled beer from the night before.. . I’m starting to think that, as a rule, all dive bars must smell like rancid beer.

This place used to be decent, but now it has turned into a dump. Recently, they were having sewerage problems and the place smelled like crap. Literally. It made all my desires to drink vanish. Hopefully, they will fix this problem soon. Otherwise, this is a great bar if you live in the neighborhood and can’t be bothered to change out of your sweatpants. I have seen people in their pjs with slippers on while playing pool here. Oh, and now they supposedly have Ladies night on Wednesdays from 10pm-2am. Half off well drinks and beers, I think.

The place: 1 star… The people: 5 stars!!! This place is, by all and every means, a dive. And I say that with the funnest memories of wild nights and crazy people… man, I miss y’all! For 8 – 9 months, every Sunday(EVERY Sunday… i mean, I was here on Christmas day and NYE!), this spot was home. A good friend bartended the closing shift here. What was, at first, just a couple of visits, became habit, became routine. The place itself is run-down. A beat-up bar. Raggedy carpet. Unimpressive, but functional televisions. They did install a number of new pool tables and an awesome jukebox(… that thing got a lot of money from me…). Kind of a rough spot. The cops camp out at the end of the night to nab folks… What saves this place from a 1-star review? THEPEOPLE! I won’t name names, because if I missed anyone, that would suck. But the staff, the manager, the customers(… regulars, the regulars here are some of the coolest people you could ever meet!). Some of the most boisterous and outgoing characters I know, I met AT this bar. Good talk, hot out-of-nowhere dancing, oh-what-the-hey impromptu make-outs… Just take heed, definitely not a place(or a neighboorhood) for everyone… if you’ve got even a little snooty in your patootie, this isn’t the place for you…
