Found myself staying at the Holiday Inn next door but thankfully this bar was at hand. Very welcoming staff and locals. I was even given free and very tasty food on my first night. Highly recommended if you find yourself stranded in one of the nearby hotels!

I watched the bartender rip 6 shots. Then proceed to tell me they have 10 glasses in the entire bar and that’s why she can’t keep up with getting everyone drinks. I wouldn’t order anything not in a bottle or a can from here

Great local bar. No thrills or frills. Chicken wings were nice and big.

Had such a blast! Didn't really know what to expect on the inside... but let's just say, dont judge a book by its cover! Between the staff (from bartenders to barbacks) and locals that call this bar one of their own, this bar is more than welcoming! Really made 4 Floridians feel like home in Cali! Thanks Doghouse for a night of fun! We'll definitely be backing ever in the area! Also a nice touch that the owner is from STL (where I was born and raised 🙂 )

We stayed at the Holiday Inn next store. I talked my friends into going here instead of the hotel bar. Great choice. Laid back atmosphere and great staff. Dium and Angel were great.

Boring dive bar with unfriendly staff. Not your typical Cali experience.

Giving food 1 star cause I didn’t try it. The menu is all fried food yuck. I don’t think they had any fresh green edible vegetables. Had 3 drinks for $30 while poured stiff bartender had 6. Hope she owns the joint working here 3 days a week with 5 people in the bar… she actually claimed to already had 8 and was about to cut herself off. I think the owner who was doing her dishes. He was able to quench my thirst. Thanks for that. But drinks on shift are unacceptable and unprofessional
