June Bug's in Modesto stands out as a down-to-earth leather bar where the charm lies in its unpretentious, welcoming atmosphere.

The space balances cozy comfort with classic dive-bar elements—think pool tables, a beloved jukebox, and a dog-friendly corner.

I like June Bugs because it's a dive bar worth dive bar respect. You got your pool table, reasonable prices, elderly veterans, and common working class blue calared men like myself. Is it classy, hell no but is it home? Hell yes. Bar tenders here aren't mixologist but they are working class people who will get to know you and befriend you and that's the best bartender you can have. If you are a classy drinker, go somewhere else, but if you are a real one, come meet Courtney, Britney x's 2, Summer, & Gina. They got you.

Third time I have been to this bar. I love that they open at 6AM-2AM. You know I have to mention as I always do when I visit a bar or restaurant...They absolutely serve my favorite PEANUT BUTTER SCREWBALL!! The morning girl is so sweet and very attentive to her customers. She takes time to get to know you. She pays attention and is ready when you need a refill. The two times I've seen her she was cleaning while she wasn't busy. The bar looks older but is cozy, comfortable and clean. Great music on the Touch Tunes jukebox! They have pool tables and a cozy bed for a sweet dog who belongs to a regular. I highly recommend at least in the early morning. I usually get there about 7:30 am. Good morning crowd. My only negative is the parking. There isn't too much but it wouldn't deter me from going.

It's a dive bar, not a bad place for a drink after work. Mostly men.

Do not drink at this location. The bartender will serve you drinks and then phone the police give them your license plate number and turn you in for a DUI. They will come to your home and do a breathalyzer. Do not trust this bartender.

It's one of the last bars open that hasn't been sold, retired, or closed from the pandemic. The owner is the absolute sweetest! Ive had the honor of growing up with her sons who have been best friends of mine for 30+ years. The bartenders are very welcoming, and the short one gives the best hugs!
