TJ's Cocktails — Restaurant in Placentia

THIS PLACE IS AWFUL.

we have given it so many tries, but of course every time we go it’s the same bartender (brown hair, glasses, tattoos) and TONY VEGA FROM PLACENTIA (he made sure to give us his name). every single time the female bartender treats us like a burden and tony gets drunk with all his friends while pretending to work.

tonight, tony offered us the pool table he “paid for.” he was clearly extremely drunk. he said we could use it “while he was working.” the bartender didn’t agree. she LOUDLY said “no. f— them, don’t let them use our f-ing pool table.” they proceeded to play pool while ignoring patrons who needed drinks.

the bartender treated us like a nuisance the entire time. she made fun of one person (a sober driver) for asking for water instead of alcohol. even when we would ask for alcohol, she would tend to all her friends before EVER acknowledging us.

the entire time while taking care of her friends, she would pour herself shots of FIREBALL.

as someone who works in the service industry, i have NEVER given a $0 tip, but this bar back/bartender duo absolutely deserved it. they were not only awful bartenders, but awful people. when they saw our $0 tip, they followed us into the parking lot and threatened to physically assault us. TONY VEGA FROM PLACENTIA made sure to state his name multiple times while his little bartender friend tried to hold him back.

if they don’t want bad tips they should give their patrons...

This is a cozy bar with 2 pool tables and a hell of a lot of locals who call this place their bar. Everyone is Super Friendly!! Drinks are strong and reasonably priced. Pool is a buck and they even allowed a friendly Shepard mix to sit at the foot of his owner while he played pool. Bartender was adorable, observant and worked her butt off delivering EXCELLENT SERVICE WITH A SMILE!! (Ally, YOU ROCK!!) DEFINITELY will be back after work again. Park in the back (seems to be the main entrance). And the cherry on top was ""THE BATHROOM WAS SUPER CLEAN!!"" AT THE END OF THE NIGHT IT WAS STILL SUPER CLEAN!! Bonus points for TJ's Cocktails for that bathroom!! That reason in-its-self would be worth going back for. So if you're in the Yorba Linda area.... Stop by TJ's Cocktails for a...

One of my favorite bars, they pour heavy for me, I can gamble in there, i can play pool, play music and dope is readily available for me. A lot of old timers and theres a regular group that goes there that I know. You might get stabbed but all in all a nice little bar to go and chill at. This is how bars used to be. Great atmosphere for that good...
