No frills local bar. Dark, no frills, (dare I say) ordinary- but that's all part of its charm. Super nice bartenders and regulars it's easy to pull up a stool and sink some hours in here! Love it!

Very nice atmosphere, a local kind of place that's open to a lot of different kinds of drinkers... you have to like to drink.. and eat! Today was their 18th anniversary and the regulars brought in food, Wow!

Great hole in the wall. Bartender Chris serves up dandy drinks and chill vibes. To be a regular here is to be called family.

One of my favorite places on earth. I use to come to this bar by myself back in the late 2000s and always kept it to myself. Great music, always great service and always a great time! Love this place!

This is not a place for a 5 star anything. It is an absolute dive which I absolute LOVE. Gritty and grimy with stiff drinks and RAD bartenders! They do have food something depending on the day and it hits the spot. Dart board, pool tables and such! Highly recommend for a chill night out. Ask for Chris or Logan!

Chris was an amazing bartender! Exactly what I’d hoped for after a long day at work from a chill dive bar in north park on my way home. Chris was friendly, upbeat, and could easily compare what liquor (tequila) I wanted vs what that they had available. I would 100% come back for the atmosphere, but particularly in the hopes that Chris was working. He’s amazing & deserves a raise/promotion to lead bartender! Thank you Crickets for hosting a weary service industry worker for a good time 🙏

The Bartenders are great. Good booze and generally good people. A proper neighborhood dive bar. 6 TVs with most major sporting events. A decent amount of bar seating and a few larger tables available. They also have an AMI jukebox with an app to play songs. General bar games are available: Pool table, darts, touchscreen games.

Opens 8 AM daily. They are grilling delicious food out front almost daily. Cheap drinks which are always nice and strong. Epitome of a neighborhood dive bar but still very clean and comfortable. Don't come here unless you are ready to talk to some regulars, that is if they talk to you. Old school crowd which are big on respect and usually from the nearby area. Pool table, darts, jukebox.

Flew in from the East Coast, first place I went. Closest bar to the airport that showed up. Very welcoming people, very friendly. Gave me a great first impression of California. Reasonably priced drinks and great staff. The bartender, Ceezo is an absolute legend.

Fun little tame dive bar on the boulevard. Drinks are cheap and sports are on all the time. Friendly bartenders as well. A bar worth coming down to.

Sandy Deck

It is great, they are friendly and if you love to play pool they have Tournamentson Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons. After a few times of going, it feels like family when you walk in.

My uncle introduced me to this place, very chill atmosphere. You can come in here and relax, the scene I go for. Frank, the owner is super mellow and the bartenders are cool. They serve food everyday for a good price. If you exit the 805 @ El Cajon blvd , check it out.

Great little dive bar that happens to have very good service. Mostly locals but still welcoming to a stranger like me. Drink prices were reasonable, I definitely recommend and will return when I'm in the area again.

This is a great Dive Bar. They have a pool table, so an extra star for that. Friendly attentive service, and they even have food! This is a great place to go and be with friends and good company and play some pool!

Just come here if you want your bartender to make strong drinks they have no clue on how to make drinks and prioritize specific people

Unfriendly, filthy and the bartender is rude. Zero acknowledgment as soon as we walked in. Sat patiently for several minutes, bartender walked by more than once never let us order despite making clear eye contact, went on to shake hands with a person beside us. Left feeling undignified, disappointed and like less of a person. Awful experience.
