The Signal Lounge — Restaurant in Orange

This is highly unlike me to visit once and review, but as a warning I will not be returning. I only went here because I couldn't find Blondies trying to grab a drink before an event in the area.

Cash only, ATM inside. Dingy sticky gummy carpet, dark from not having any windows. Poor lighting is probably a good thing so you don't see things you don't want to. 2 Beers on tap and a dozen in bottles. Strong makers and coke. Cheap bottle of Newcastle. The coke was poured from a bottle and not from a speed tap, that's pretty hood and the beers are the real value. The smell reminded me of those old dessert dive bar in Nevada way way way of the strip, a mixture of sweat and cleaner. The bar itself is shapped interesting.

A dozen stools around the bar and pool tables in the back. I didn't use the restroom because I had 2 drinks and bounced. They were folding bar towels as I came in. I was digging the internal stained glass hidden window thingy and the old school cash register. Service was a little slow, but nothing bad, just 1 bartender for a HH swing in a pretty empty bar. I was totally used to the Cumbia music blaring as well as the cheesy fluorescent writing on the black board. T-Mobile 4g service was good inside. Parking is limited up front and even more so on the sides and back.

Dive and nothing more. I prefer a dive with more variety to stand, sit, maybe a patio, some windows, better tv's, better music, but most importantly beer on tap. I'm not a bottle drinking and that coke from a 2 liter bottle was the...

The Bar: Located in Orange, on Chapman Avenue across from the local high school. In a strip mall, with a Del Taco within walking distance which is especially nice when wasted. Approaching the bar, there is a single door into a dark room. The bar itself is oddly shaped, sorta like a boomerang. First thing ya notice walking in, is the liquor, conveniently placed near the door to attract the consumer. The Crowd: Well, this night, it was pretty dead inside. We ran into another bartender from Marty's Cocktails out partying with her friends, so we decided to kick it at that end of the bar. As for the rest of the crowd... there were a couple of old dudes at the bar, and a couple on the pool tables.. that was about it. Service: Prompt, but the bar was empty. Prices: From what I can remember, I believe it was $2.75 a bottle for domestic, and $5.50 a shot for Jameson, yet no PBR. Entertainment: 2 pool tables, bar top video game, dart board, a few TV's. Restroom: I almost don't need to write about this disgusting area. Look at the picture below. It smelled worse that in looks, if that's even possible. Bartender: Poison pusher for the night was Teri. From what we've heard, she is legen....wait for it....dary. Would not disagree with that statement. Made for a great time. Closing statement: Besides being on a major street with lots of Cops, not too bad. Had a great time, with great people and certainly plan on making a return trip in the...

Worst experience I have ever had at any bar in my lifetime. The other reviews below this one are a lie. Do not believe the fake reviews and comments. Never been treated this way, do not recommend to anyone. Attending this bar would be your biggest mistake. I completely understand the dynamics of a Dive bar but this piece of work took the cake. Bar tender completely rude, horrible customer service, dirty, bad energy. WOULD NEVER RECCOMEND I'm a owner of multiple businesses, I know what customer service is. If the owners would like to contact me and have a meet up i'd be more...
