Doll Hut — Restaurant in Anaheim

The best punk rock dive bar in southern California. Classic, iconic, it's enough to make you sick. You know, like the kids say. Siiick! Am I doing this right? Whatever. Where else are you going to go for some different kind of crazy music from punk to metal to rockabilly to hip hop to gothic rock to synth Pop to Bluegrass to things you haven't imagined yet every single night of the week? Nowhere but the world famous Doll Hut! Bask in the glory of the dirty little Doll Hut's hard earned and well deserved reputation as you inhale the scents of fermentation and persperation. Ah! Take it, you punk! There's even a monthly comedy show and almost every Tuesday is open stage jam night when you can get up on stage and share some of your own talent! Sometimes there's a snack bar (Zaigon Tiger's Rock & Roll Snack Bar!) and on the weekends the tamale guy cruises through. You can also have food delivered from several local restaurants. Drink up and tip your bartender! If you are lucky and well behaved you won't have to leave until after last call. There's nearly always an interesting collection of regulars and irregulars occasionally willing to engage in some interesting conversation. Remember to tip the bartender and say hello to the Lizard Boy. Also, watch out for ghosts! Protip: buy earplugs from the bartender. Tip for Pros: the Doll Hut Studios is now open out the door and to the right across the parking lot. Yes, it really is a recording and rehearsal studio despite Google Maps insisting that it's still a tile company. The tile dude retired, long live the Doll Hut Studios! Standard details: BRING CASH! CA$H ONLY (ATM on site) BEER & WINE ONLY (No hard liquor. Also a small selection of non-alcoholic beverages for your designated driver, remember to buy them a drink as they get thirsty too.) Smoking allowed...

Doll Hut is a staple of Orange County punk rock. This place deserves 5 stars for their staying power alone. I've been going to shows here since the early to mid 90s, and I was late to the game. I couldn't even guess how many hundreds of bands I've seen here, cutting their teeth, most of which fade with memory, but more than a few having gone on to become national acts. The sound is always pretty good. The beers are always cheap. And it's right next to the 5 freeway so you can make a quick get away. Always...

A true dive bar, small, cozy, great acoustics. Small stage where bands are always playing. Some cool retro arcade games in the back. Very affordable drinks. Cash only but there's an ATM inside. Looks like one of the small music venue on sunset strip except it's here in the OC. Tucked away in industrial area. Street parking only. Friendly staff....
