This is the coolest little bar in Huntington beach. I live very close by and I would go when I could. The security guy is always so friendly and has the best customer service. Tonight he even helped an elderly man with his pizza out to his car. The reason I'm giving a 1 star is because of Candice at least I believe that is her name. This girl has blue hair and tattoos on her arms. I went in and got a beer. I was there with a friend for an hour and a half. When we never got customer service again I decided to ask for the check and leave. This girl charged me twice and I asked if she could please fix it. She was very rude and said "calm down I'll fix it. It was my ticket" I said "calm down? I just ask for you to fix something is that too much to ask?" She was very unprofessional and continued to yell and be rude. Both girls that night were pouring themselves shots of Jameson, so maybe they were drunk and didn't know what they were doing. I asked for a manager and they said she was I it!? Lol what? Like really this is the manager? A rude drunk girl. Wow. The owner should really look into who he has hired. When I asked for an explanation all the other bar (guy) tender could tell me was to write this review but he couldn't give me her name. The other girl said the reason she is manager is because she is family with the owner. All made sense after that. Really sad that I can't go to such a cool bar right bu my house anymore due to this out of control bar tender. My advice is stop drinking on the job and take care of...

5 out of 5 stars
This place is a hidden gem in Huntington Beach! It's got that classic dive bar feel with a killer soundtrack (think punk, rock, and even some Disney in the restrooms!). But the real star of the show is the pizza. They have a secret kitchen off-site that makes some of the most incredible pies I've ever had.
I tried a few different options:
Danny DeVito: This one's a meat lover's dream with all-beef pepperoni and Italian sausage. A true carnivore's delight! Minor Threat Margherita: This is for the purists. Fresh basil, mozzarella, Croatian olive oil, sea salt, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan flakes come together for a perfect balance of flavors. I Wanna Be Sedated: Don't let the name fool you, this pizza is wide awake on flavor! Sausage, bell peppers, romano, ricotta, and Croatian olive oil create a party in your mouth. And let's not forget the garlicky cheesy bread. Seriously, this is a must-order. It's crispy, cheesy, and bursting with garlic flavor.
The wait for the pizza can be a bit longer since it's coming from another location, but trust me, it's worth it! In fact, I'd say this is the best pizza in all of Orange County.
Pro tip: Be prepared to place your order at the bar and soak up the cool dive bar vibes while you wait for your...
Read moreETA: June 10, 2023. Came to celebrate my birthday. Drinks were amazing, HIGHLY recommend the Chunky Monkey in cocktail style. The Danny Devito pizza (Italian sausage crumbled just the way I love, all beef pepperoni and and bowl & crisp pepperoni) is UNMATCHED! We had a Schmedium at the bar and took one home. Staff is fun and attentive. All thanks to McLovin for starting my bday celebration off right with the off menu cherry flavored McLovin. The Haunted Mansion atmosphere is still my fave. Heard country, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, LIT and my fave band A7X while we hung out. I cannot say enough how much I love this place. Thanks to all involved for making it so awesome.
Had a Classic Pep pizza and it was honestly the best pizza I've ever had. I'm from Chicago so I don't say that lightly. Atmosphere is still awesome and service is above and beyond. Love this place and am so glad I got to...
