Big Helyn's bartenders here are abrasive and rude. * My drink was served in a dirty glass * The place itself is sticky and smells like it never been cleaned * Entire place reaks of body odor and is downright out of place in San Clemente Summary: If you want to have a drink and gawk at a girl in a bikini, try your local strip club. At least they will be friendlier than the decrepit bartenders that work here.

My local watering hole. Charlene on Sunday’s makes the best Bloody Mary’s and is the perfect end to my weekend.

No food. Drinks are shitty. Bartenders are rude and you find coke in the bathrooms. And the place smells like puke and crap

Great bar, good drinks, bartenders are attentive and personable. What you want from a bar!

Bartender allowed a super-wasted guy to mill around and kept serving him. Dude had a torn shirt and torn jacket, such that 1/4 of his bare back was exposed...and he stunk like someone whom had not had a shower in 1-2 weeks. The guy sat at my table and I felt sorry for him so I listened to his story. He became increasingly agitated and was spraying spit into my face.As a visitor to this bar, I assumed that me, being a non-local, was just not appreciated...I left with my drink 1/2 full wondering why the bartender choose to keep serving this guy and ignoring me. I got the feeling that visitors were not appreciated here.

Cool spot even cooler people, cheap drinks made stiff. What more can one ask from a dive bar.

This building was just your average bar, but the service and clientele were phenomenal!! I was in town visiting my son at Camp Pendleton for Thanksgiving. Jess didn't just give suggestions of a place to try and get reservations for Thanksgiving dinner, she called, got reservations set up, and made it happen for us. I instantly felt at home and made life long friends.
