Round Robin

Customer service is horrible. Place smells. Total dive bar. Stay away. Worst bar in town

I dont want to have to write this because I go to the bird about 2x a month when drinking around the dirty triangle, and I probably will return. But only because Im with a group thats going.
I was in there the other weekend and There was a female bartender, she was sweet and served us in a timely manner. At some point during the night I had a question about hanging a dollar bill on the ceiling above the bar. Which there are already hundreds of bills hanging up there. I walk to the end of the bar where there was a gentleman I was told was the manager. Before I could even finish my question he begins asnwering with most condecending answer and tone. In some words or less «fuck off». It was clear he was putting on a show to impress the two regulars (nasty ass bar women for lack of a better term) that were standing there. Who were also responding to me with their own condescending remarks. Ok I understand people get territorial about «their» bars so It doesnt suprise me that two drunks were getting roundy to an unfimiliar face. But a «manager» should know better. Maybe he thought I was being rude by interupting his «mack session». Or maybe even in his drunken state he assumed I was being a dumb annoying drunk. Sorry that Im not part of your cool little crew of daily Round Robin folk but I am a customer.
If the owner of this place see’s this and you like profit do yourself a favor and get rid of this guy, he’s running customers out the door. I doubt I have to say more than he’s the one with the little guy complex.
I really expected better… 2 stars for for every other time I went in there and didnt come into contact with this guy.

The only good thing about this bar was the bartender… who looked like he just got out of prison.
While there, I saw two people right next to the bar doing the dirty, and I mean they were going at it! They weren’t even trying to hide the fact they were… doing it. At one point I saw the man’s private parts, and he seemed to enjoy the fact that people could see it!
Dive bar.

I came to this place because my friends tools me or was really cool and cool. So I tried it. I got to say. The drinks are OK. Customer service OK. Place OK. I spent a good time with my friend. Drinks kept coming. So a great time at this place. I will come back.

Great atmosphere, cheap drinks, fantastic bartenders and pool tables. What more could you want from a bar?

I arrived at 115 for last call with my service dog Chew. The bouncer understandably wanted to make sure I had an actual service dog. While I was trying to educate him on the laws regarding service dogs (as I am a trainer) he got angry with me saying he’s already been through this. He REFUSED to let me talk to him and I was not allowed access. I called the police to get an incidence number which anyone in the industry knows changes nothing.

This place is so dirty and disgusting. If it wasn’t for my friend, who lives here, and celebrating out for his birthday I’d NEVER come here. Don’t waste your time or money.

diver down diver down you know where this night will end?

I like this place. I wouldn’t go here if I were going out with a group of girlfriends, just because yes, it is a dive bar and does attract some seedy guys (although none that have ever bothered me), which is probably because I’ve only ever come with guy friends or mixed company. Drinks are cheap, and all the bartenders are friendly and love talking about sports and Giants baseball! I haven’t had a bad experience here and will continue to come back. Check it out, relax a little, and play some pool. As long as you don’t expect too much, I think you’ll be glad you came.
BTW, it’s the Dirty Bird.

I Luv It Here Always Been Treated Cool Beans + Metal On The Juke Box!!!

DIVE BAR ALERT! If you need a good dive bar fix, this is your place. If you go here, and I highly reccomend you do, make sure Jamie is your bartender and tell him the monitor he killed sent you!

Ive only been here 2 times and after getting tattooed so I really just wanted some strong drinks. The place is CHEAP! and the drinks are strong. and the bartenders we’ve had have all been pretty cool. there are creepy ass people in this bar though and the bathroom is shady too. Definitely a place you wouldnt want to venture too alone late at night and get really wasted. the regulars might eat your liver.

So they dont call this place the dirty bird for nothing. They stright try to rip you off on drinks, saying you didnt pay for them when you did and them say there charge card machine is broken so you use there ATM. NO way. The place smells like a dirty hookers arm pit and the bar tender on Sunday nights is beyond rude and started a fight with my brother!
Cops were almost called!
Please save yourself the misery and chance of getting gonorrhea by walking into this place.
Its really that bad.

Of course I love this place… but I’ve got a bone to pick with the guy who was bartending last night. And that is:
If you’re tending bar on a Friday night and you’re the only one behind the counter and the people keep coming and things are insanely busy, it’s quite alright and totally understandable that you’re a little frazzled and have to be on your toes, constantly moving.
HOWEVER, that does not make it OK to talk shit to or yell at your bar back, particularly when he’s doing you a favor by helping out the customers who are waiting, and most especially when it’s in front of the customers. Just sayin.

This place truly sucks. The crowd is like running into all of the losers from high school that you wished you would never run into again, who are drunk, listening to loud crappy music and are angry at the end of the night, possibly wanting to beat you up.
I wish this place would close.

This was one of my favorite places to stop and have a drink. Mimi is great. However their priorities make it so i will never be back. The ass who owns the juke box like to only have his music on. He went on a power trip while we were there even though we were trying to spend our money! He is also a creep! Months before he was hitting on my girlfriend and i by telling us he could play whatever music we wanted. He could not take a hint and we left.
The bartenders and or owners should think about this. We are the people spending money there and tippig well! The 5 of us will no longer be back and i will do my best to spread the word.

I went into this place and felt comfy.
The bartenders name was Curt and he got us
drinks as we played pool. All Good All Good.

Used to go to the Bird all the time in the old days of the joint. Now, not so much., haven’t been back in maybe 2 years, as the last time I went, the place was awful. They renovated a couple of years back, expanding the place a bit (but yet not adding any more pool tables?!), adding a ridiculously loud juke box, some flat screens (who cares?) and a stripper pole (as if that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know?). The fire pit’s still there, and nice, but that’s about it. The place is even trashier and dive-​ier than ever before, and if I never go back, it’ll be too soon. The crowd has gotten worse, and yet the bar’s gotten busier. You’ll wait a long time for your drink and have a lousy time drinking it. Go to the Bel!
P. S. In regards to a previous review” since when is «not for the upper Fourth Crowd» a con? Seems that’s the one thing the Dirty Bird has got going for it.

The Bird is where every buddy knows your name; they may NOT always be glad you came, but you find a good time there just the same. To me it feels like home, except my stripper pole is in my bed room. The bartenders treat you like an abusive mother would, the patrons will laugh, joke or fight with you the way siblings do, and I can always find a strong drink for $ 4 and a game of pool for 75 cents (Three song for a dollar of the juke). The place stays open till 2am, 7days a week and I am proud to call that dive my home away from home. Yes it is cash only, all good bars are. Yes you need your ID, but you need your ID to drink everywhere in the state of California. So bring your ID and plenty of cash, I’ll see you at the Dirty Bird.

Thanks, now my ears and my asshole are bleeding from the music in here.
The bouncers carded us (we are all over 35)… and inexplicably let our friend in who had an expired license anyway.
this place is called «the dirty bird» by locals for a reason. They could cast a low budget horror film and a Carnival from the patrons.
If Steve Buscemi and Mickey Rourke had shown up, they would have been the best looking dudes in the joint.
lots of testosterone if you get there early (before 10pm)… burly dudes with mustaches drinking cheap bear and listening to death metal at eardrum shriveling volume. Metal needs to sharpen up it’s game because this sounded like the same underground shit people were listening to in the late 80’s except now somebody famous is producing it because it’s clearly more commercial. Mall Kid Death Metal!
Hot Topic is the choice of Satan! Yeaaah!
anyway…
There is a palpable tension in the room, like everyone is waiting for the first punch to be thrown so they can pile on.
fun!
when the ladies started rolling in after 10:30, it was like a furlough bus from a state prison had broken down and the inmates were allowed in for a cocktail or 2.
There was a girl wearing a shirt that said «I’d fuck you», and she was with some serious country trash with white supremacist tattoos that (big surprise) she had gotten while in prison.
personally I like my whiskey without the racism thank you very much.
thankfully the music had switched to really loud White Stripes and we watched wannabe pool hustlers play 45 minute games of pool… truly some of the worst bar pool playing I have ever seen.
There is also a lone video game in the back that consists of 2 shotguns and a series of very non-​ironic animal killing games. yawn. don’t metalheads have a sense of humor anymore?
2 stars for excellent people watching but overall disappointing.
