Dive bar as it should be. Reasonably priced drinks (flavored vodka soda $7). Big TVs, pool, games, patrons from all walks of life checking any attitudes at the door.

Visited NoTown with friends, and we all had a wonderful time. The bar is clean and beautifully remodeled. The staff is very friendly and fun. There is a vast selection of liquors and beers to choose from. It is a great addition to the neighborhood, and a nice place to hang out and relax with a cold one.

They don't have every option, for every drink, but they have what you need. Not pricey, and the atmosphere is homey (more Always Sunny, less SOA.) Felicia, Jen and Chip are awesome! Normie spending: $ Scotch-Irish spending: $$-$$$

My boyfriend lives in SB and I live in SD so I was looking for a good local football place when we found this place. Staff is super friendly, attentive and beer is cold . They allow dogs too! This is going to be my new go to place from now on .

Great experience as the newly named NoTown Tavern. Nice to see locals back in local watering holes as they say. Enjoyed my lunch, I had delivered, with my well crafted libation. Yummy. Thanks Joanne, all who know, and Love.

No Town is an awesome upgrade, fantastic tables and a chill atmosphere. Love being there. Feels like the Creekside vibe used to with a muuuuch better bathroom.

This is probably one of the BETTER hole in the wall bars. The staff are awesome the atmosphere is ok. Notown is located in a shopping center so getting food is simple.

A bar where a springer spaniel has a seat at the bar. Drinks are strong. Sports are on. And it’s full at 3pm. What’s not to love

No kitchen, but restaurants and Ralph’s are in the same shopping mall. Nice people, reasonable prices. More a local hangout, which I look forward to. If in the area search “dive bars near me.” It will come up. It’s a nice place, just not a tourist stop. Clean and friendly. I’ll be back next time I’m in town.

Was bored at the hotel, and looked for a local bar for a drink, but everything looked too posh, not my style. Decided to hit this place, good reviews not a tourist trap, I'm in. Stopped by on a Thursday, Karaoke Night. The beer was cold, good tunes and passionate singers. Don't call this a dive bar, it's not dark, or grungy it's the opposite of that. People sure know each other here, but were also very welcoming and I never felt any bad vibes. I did not Karaoke, but I did find myself singing along. Felicia the bartender kept the drinks coming and is a total sweetheart. Got to talk to KJ Joe from Big Joe Karaoke, cool dude and it's easy to tell that pro audio is one of his passions. They both gave me local food spots worth trying and they were right about them. In short, I came for a drink and stayed until closing time. Cool place, will be back whenever I'm in town.

Formerly Monty's; Great drink and bar snack options! With Shalhoob's next door! Karaoke Monday and Thursday at 7 (non football season) and 8 (during football) normally easy to get a seat. Best bartenders and great pricing too!

Nice, friendly, a good amount of tvs. If you need a new local pub, this one would do. It's perfectly blue collar, not exactly a dive bar like I read in other reviews. Lady behind the bar was super sweet. I witnessed her trying to help an elderly patron reactivate his mobile.

Good little bar but the owner doesn't care about what the customer wants to watch. I believe he's a SF Giants fan and decided to change the channel so he can watch his game instead of what we were watching. Otherwise the bar is a nice place.

I liked it! It's the same good ol' Dive Bar, just like Monty's was. Good service. Nice people. It now has a EVH Guitar 🎸 in place of the Framed Hat, that was next to the bar for years 🍻

Very Noleta-ish locals bar. Two bar-sized pool tables with league play Tuesday nights. Juke box. Full bar. No food but you can get food from plenty of little spots in the same strip mall and eat it in the bar. TVs to show sports events. Lots of regulars. Not fancy - and that's the point. Come in and relax. Cash & credit card payments.

Was looking for a karaoke bar, found this place. Was having a great time waiting to get up and sing and was completely pushed to the bottom of rotation. This is a Nieghborhood bar and stranger are not welcomed. I was completely past over and he started his rotation over. They don't need my money...Tim Norton

It’s a neighborhood bar and strangers are not welcome here. The old bearded guy is so rude has exploded on us over a tip. My friend and I have a business trip and should stay in the area for a week, so we will never come back here again.
