The Tin Lizzy used to be a fun, laid back neighborhood bar where gay and lesbians of all ages and races could gather with their friends, gay & straight, to have a few drinks, play some pool, relax on the patio, and enjoy the music. But lately the bar has become a haven for drunken, obnoxiously loud young women, whether gay or straight, to yell and scream at levels which become intolerable in this small bar. The bar has become what I and most gay men hate. I'd rather drive an hour or more to Long Beach, LA, or San Diego to a gay bar that caters to gay men. Gay men are not interested in bars with obnoxiously loud, drunk women.

Not a gay bar anymore. Not a safe space. I am devastated to see how a once beloved place has fallen. You were once a staple for many queer students decades ago. Where have all the good places in OC gone? Terrible loss.

It’s charming local bar with creative cocktails and friendly staff. It’s got a relaxed vibe and the music is not too loud so you can actually have a conversation with your friends.

This place needs new management. Things have gone down the last couple years. I don't normally review places but this deserved a review. I spoke my concerns to someone i thought was the bartender turned out it was the manager. They need better etiquette when dealing with customers. Very rude and seemed drunk

I have always seen this little saloon every time I come to get my tire needs met. Always curious and didn’t realize it was a gay bar! Even cooler! I came in on a Tuesday evening so I wasn’t expecting any crowds. Very friendly bartender and a few patrons came right after me. One of the most comfortable bars I’ve ever been to. I would like to come on a busier night for an additional review!
