The Back Door Cocktail Lounge

📍 Leather bars in Pomona

7.3

The Back Door Cocktail Lounge in Pomona is a quintessential dive bar, offering a laid-back atmosphere with a straightforward layout—think polished wooden counters, a couple of pool tables, and a wall-mounted jukebox featuring a solid selection of modern tracks. Prices are reasonable, with classics like tall screwdrivers and white Russians keeping things affordable, while the bartenders are known for generous pours and a welcoming demeanor.

Weekend evenings bring a livelier crowd, especially in the back area, though parking can be tight and the space is unpretentious—think well-lit but no-frills. The chill environment and friendly patrons make it a solid spot for drinks, pool games, or casual meetups, though minor quirks like occasional bathroom maintenance remind you it’s a no-nonsense local joint rather than a polished lounge.

It's a dive bar type place. Was there on 8-26-25. Tall screwdriver $7, tall white Russian $8. Give you an idea of prices. Patrons were very friendly. Bartender is definitely not skimpy on the pour. Chill place. pretty much a straight bar with a couple of seats that do curve on the ends.also a couple of tables with chairs for players of pool 2 pool tables, wall hang jukebox 12 credits =$5 good selection of internet songs. Not one of those places that skimpy on what jukebox can play. Bad side. Pretty crappy parking lot. Well lit and under cameras, but on the tight side. Also, men's bathroom smelled like people have been missing the toilet for some time now. But it is not a fancy place so. I guess you get what you pay for I would definitely go back if it works out. I didn't know if the place would be a little sketchy, being in Pomona. But it seems cool.

It's a decent spot. Probably better on the weekend, as the back area probably fills up. Bartender was completely lit and charged me the wrong amount. I'm sure I'll eventually give this place another chance when I'm in the area but I was not impressed.

If you love a good dive bar this is the place to be. They have pool tables and karaoke. Bartenders are the best every one of them.

Disclaimer: I'm a 62 year old male. Review: I went for an easy going experience with a good sound system and some good pours. I got what I wanted. Covid aware. Bartender was on spot. Two pool tables. Nobody was hogging the AMI (jukebox) and everyone was chilling. Of course, this was Wednesday afternoon, it's pretty crazy on a Friday night! Have fun!
