What players say

Great bar just reopened and I don't think anyone knows they did! Really great atmosphere and the bar tender was incredibly friendly. Really great beer and shot deals.

★★★★★ Fernando, Jul 2017

TBH, I don't what to think about this bar. But I don't really go to sports bars either. They have a pool table which is cool, plenty of seating and a cool liquor backdrop. I didn't know what to order and told the bar tender what I liked and he made something for me that was actually really good.

★★★★☆ Sophia, Dec 2016

Fancy, updated venue on the inside.Tons of flat screen TVs with HD DirecTV. Has a pool table and you can have food delivered from the many excellent restaurants here in downtown San Carlos.

★★★★★ Charles, Jun 2017

Love going on Saturday nights for DJ Purple! Great vibes, super friendly crowd, and the best KJ in the bay! The atmosphere in the bar is great; clean and spacious with various groovy seating options. Bar staff and drinks are super cool; I usually rotate through the selection of Mexican lagers.
