Best gay bar iv been to in a while, its like a miniature palm springs in San Bernardino. The owner is super fun, give him a little tequila and he'll start kissing your neck

Rustic little bar with a good vibe. Friendly staff and customers, too! Decent selection at be on tap, a full bar, and a good kitchen. I recommend the breaded mushrooms and onion rings with your drinks!

Great jam session with a variety of music. Cute very small dive bar with friendly people. Not too crowded. Bathrooms were clean. Had a blast with my friends. Met the musicians. Cool people.

Great bar. I was passing through, but will try to stop there again. Great people! Bartender was awesome. I had the hot chicken sandwich. Pool tables are nice.

I love this place. Excellent bartender, small but homely. 2 pool tables and a small stage for bands to play. There is wheelchair access to get in but not for the restrooms. The restrooms are small. Serves liquor and beer and they serve food.

San Bernardino’s classic gay bar. The place has a friendly ambience and has both indoor and outdoor spaces for drinks and food. Unlike the other reviews coors light was enough to get the owner razzle dazzled. All around great experience for the gay community.

Stopped there out of the blue, but I was surprised, Steak was pretty damn good, beer was cold and fair priced, the sell regular bottles and 24oz cans which I thought was pretty cool, I believe they sell draft but not sure, people were friendly,

It's small, worn out and a great place. Don't let the ugly outside fool you, it isn't much better on the inside but you will have a great time. The staff and customers are friendly as can be and the prices are good. They have the usual bar food and it's pretty good. This is what a dive bar is all about, friendly people, good drinks and a ton of fun.
