Shady Nook - Brea

Love doing karaoke here. The bartenders are great and the crowd is cool.

Really good place to play pool. The two diamond tables have Simonis felt and play true. The cues are also in better condition than most places. They have cue chalk and hand chalk too. The competition at this place is also above average. Altogether, there was about 10 people playing when I came for the first time on a Thursday night.

This is an truly excellent bar. It is not a Dive Bar as all small bars tend to be called in California. It 's a neighborhood bar. It is exceptionally clean (including the bathroom and the bartenders are friendly and fully clothed. I took my wife here without fear of recriminations. : A 22 Ounce IPA costs $5.75. Not $7. Not $11. I am now a fan and a loyal customer.

Jess is my favourite bartender. I trust her to make me a tasty cocktail whenever I can't decide on what I want. Small bar but I go for the pool whenever I'm in the area. They have two diamond tables. You can bring your own food. There's a good pizza spot next door and a Mexican restaurant nearby too.

Clean little dive bar. Really clean. Not really dive-ey. Local bar for sure. Really clean pool tables. Give it a look.
