The Study Lounge

great place, cool atmosphere, always have fun here. Nicole and Paul and Roz and Lins are the best bartenders I have had in my very long life..

If you're in the mood for reasonably priced drinks take a dive into a dark bar and surround yourself with strangers THEN have I got a bar for you .. Bury your wallet deep into your front pocket ...Another dark Bar be aware especially if you are there late at night. Looking for a refreshing change then go to Hooley's....

Fair prices on their drinks. Awesome customer service.

Best pool tournament in El cajon. Tursdays @730pm 15$ buy in w/ 10 ball And 8 ball break pot

Just moved to area so I can only rate friendliness and the service. Both top notch. I met Paul the bartender and was welcomed w open arms. Great people. Good prices, stiff drinks and warm service. Im impressed.

If you're looking for some excitement outside of your 9-5 boring desk job, this is it. If you are an avid pool player this is a great spot to go with some cheap drinks. They have free pool tables and there are always great partners to challenge yourself with! You need a little bit of a back-bone to deal with some of the "special " folk that frequent this bar, but if you keep your nose out of the suffocating drama, you should be alright. Sundays and Mondays are quiet, cozy nights. Great for focusing on your pool game. Wednesdays are karaoke night. The karaoke hostess, Heather Angel, is true to her name and a real gem. She is full of encouragement, charisma and positive energy. Paul is an awesome bartender, he's seen it all over the years and I appreciate his warm welcomes. You see a variety of unique characters frequent this spot and I think it's interesting enough to write a book about it. Aesthetically speaking the bookshelf is so neat, including a ton of books to browse from while you're chugging down some Guinness. I would recommend having chile serrano to add to their spicy margarita Edit: I still love frequenting this bar **cue Tony Keith** and Nicole is always quick to greet me with beautiful customer service and a fun drink!

I've had good and marginal experiences here. It has to do with whether the local crowd is being warm and welcoming that night or if they feel entitled and kinda mean. There is a lot chaotic screaming at the end of the night by bartenders to get people to leave. That's kind of nerve wracking. Karaoke Wednesday with KJ Heather is great.
