Sunset Lounge — Restaurant in Fullerton

The Bar: I arrived shorty after 8pm, the parking lot was a ghost town, with only 1 car out front which I think may have been the bartenders vehicle. The neon sign said "OPEN", but I was skeptical. Once in side.... empty, might as well been closed... a bartender and 1 customer, however I did bring a friend with me. The inside is huge. A large bar with the about 15 bar stools and plenty of table seating throughout the bar. To the left of the front door is a fully functional KJ booth along with some electronic dart boards and a pool table, to the right is the bar. The first thing I noticed at the bar, was a sign for $0.50 string cheese...score! The Crowd: As I said above... 1 patron, who was kinda offended that I called his local watering hole a "dive". I assure you, this is a dive. From that point forward, I was pretty much interrogated by this guy and about the whole concept of DBC. More heads started showing up around 9:15pm for Karaoke. Service: I can't exactly write a proper review on this due to the emptiness of this place. I can mention that there is No draft beer, kinda disappointed with that. Prices: My only drink was a Bloody Mary ($4.00) since I was working though a pretty serious hangover from the night before. Other than the extreme spiciness, it was pretty delicious. Tasted as if it was made from scratch with plenty of olives. My friend started with shot of Jägermeister ($5.00) poured in those exact 1oz shot glasses... and a Bud Light ($3.00) and finished up with a PBR ($3.00). Entertainment: Karaoke which is held Wednesday and Sunday 9:30pm - 1:30am, 3 electronic dart boards, 3 TV's - which 1 becomes occupied with the lyrics from Karaoke. 1 pool table. Restroom: Dark brown tile, perhaps to hide the cleanliness. The smell consisted of cinnamon and ammonia. Also, it's a one person room, and with a bar this large, I could imagine one hell of a line on a busy night. If ya gotta go that bad, I guess there is the parking lot. Bartender: Bartender tonight was Sheena. She's quite nice. It was recommended by a bartender at Lucky John's that I visit the night she was here. Closing statement: Other than the guy who denies this being a dive, it was a cool, comfortable, chill night. The folks who came strictly for karaoke, were cool peeps, and quite good singers compared to most karaoke joints. I am going to try to make it back to this spot when there is...

It's a run-of-the-mill kinda dive bar. They have lots of bottled beers, and enough types of hard liquor to make most basic cocktails. They do have bar food but I didn't see a menu. I saw people getting things like chicken wings and french fries. They have a nice outside smoking section which runs the length of the bar and around to the back. That way no one has to go out front to have a smoke. Parking is kind of limited though by the time you go to the bar most of the other shops in the area are closed. The other big plus about Sunset lounge were the bar staff. They were pretty friendly and we're working hard to make sure everyone was taken care of in a quick manner. The patio and the staff are basically the reason this place is 3 stars and not lower.

As for the types of patrons, if you've got face tattoos, wear flannel shirts, and get excited at the sound of a Harley Davidson motorcycle, this is definitely your spot. If that's your crowd, You'll be happy to find out that this is your kind of dive when you walk in and see the crates and crates of Paps Blue Ribbon and Bud light.

There is a pool table and they do karaoke at this bar. Other than that there's nothing really remarkable or unique about this bar. Though I can see it being a cozy spot if this is your kind of vibe and favorite crowd. It is literally behind The rite aid on orangethorpe. Check it out for yourself if anything that I just wrote sounds...

DONT GO TO SUNSET LOUNGE!

Candace is the reason we will never be coming back here. She is the most unpleasant, unhappy bartender we've ever experienced. She charged us $19.50 for 2 drinks. Apparently, juice in your cocktail is extra per drink. We paid with a $20, and then we asked for $10 to be broken into one's so we could tip her. Well, she took the $10 and set it next to the cash register, then went to the other end of the bar and proceeded to eat popcorn and talk to what seemed to be locals. We waited a little bit before asking again for our change, and she ignored us. We again more loudly asked for our $10 in $1's, and she said, "I know Hon, I will get it as soon as I can, I'm really busy!! We were completely taken back by this, and at this point, we demanded our $10 back. She looked at others at the bar and asked, "Did I do something wrong?" Then a couple next to us spoke up and told us that she is always like that. CANDACE needs an attitude adjustment and new employment, as she clearly can't perform simple...
