Great people and great prices on alcohol. Their DJ who spins on the weekends Allen Aguilar is incredible. Last night the place was packed. Best spot in Escondido on the weekends and the DJ definitely is the biggest reason.
We went in to have drinks after exploring the new Grand Ave reno. Drinks sub par, rude staff. Sketchy after dark; stabbings, shootings. They serve a rougher crowd, I suppose. In my opinion, this establishment has no place on the new Grand Ave environment. Absolutely DO NOT recommend.
If you're going to be loyal to any bar, keep coming to this one. It's my family, the drinks are strong, and there are plenty of regulars, including myself. No day is a dull one.
Well known as the Punch Palace! Always been this way since the '80s. If you have nothing to do on a Friday or Saturday night go and sit in you're car facing the entrancearound 12:00 to 2:00 a.m. wild punches and stumbling. 😉😆
Surprisingly nice in here for a dive(ish) bar. They had pool tables and the mega touch screens with plenty of TVs to watch football. A friend and I were drinking there for the better part of a day, and when we got our tab, we were pleasantly surprised. The drinks are cheap and they have a pretty wide selection of craft beers. I am not a cocktail drinker so I cannot comment on the quality of those, but it looked like they have a lot to choose from.
Such a let down. How are you going to impose capacity issues on blackout Wednesday after over 20 years. Disappointed to say the least. Do better.
I love pounders! I have been going there for 20 years. It has definitely gotten much better over the years. We just got back from Monday Night karaoke. What a great time. Great people there, the atmosphere was incredible, the karaoke MC was super funny and the bartenders were good guys.
