Vodka & grapefruit, only $6 a drink. I'll see you there.Parking: Parking lot in the back of the bar. And also in front of the street W San Carlos St.Wheelchair accessibility: People in wheelchairs need not to be in a bar.

I'm so disappointed! A patron was bit by the Bartenders' dog and severely hurt! I witnessed the manager tell him that he couldn't return to the bar ever again! How is this decision fair? The manager Sharlene had this conversation with the patron in front of other patrons, so unprofessional! I couldn't believe what I was witnessing! The owners should be ashamed of themselves! My friends and I will not be returning to this bar!

The bartender seems to regulate your alcohol consumption.

Charlene here was GREAT, amazing bartender who served our drinks perfectly! Pictured is the Pina Colada drink she made me & she was so understanding of me liking sweet drinks.... There was another bartender who switched with her though that made the drinks 90% alcohol and it made me throw up at home with home much was in the drink despite me telling her I don't like tasting the alcohol. The chick was unwilling to lower the alcohol for me.... Good thing was my boyfriend got the shot he wanted & enjoyed his drinks.What's nice is there is 2 hour parking right outside so no paid parking & the music is great, overall a great vibe in here but the fact I had 4 sips of a TERRIBLY made drink ruined the 5/5 star rating for me.

The worst bartender my buddies and I have ever encountered. Her name is Charlene and she typically works Saturday's. We all watched her as she served drink after drink to get customers completely drunk, and after taking all they're money she happily kicks them out. A insensitive, unprofessional and uncaring way to treat people. We were all shocked, and will never return.

I've always loved this place! Till I was rejected cause of my pooch. Mind you my dog fits in my bag. Never a problem he's a 4 pound pooch. Was just looking for a drink. Thankfully Red Stag is a great place that accommodates! Don't bother. Stage has so mush more to offer! Better ppl and vibe!

Love the pool tournament. Talitha is amazing . While.... dealing with people she doesn't know, who instantly complain about rules and then tell her to pay for them... because they cant come up with .50 cents..... she is slingjng drinks and doin it all! Good times!

Good strong drinks. Chill atmosphere, double shot was more like a triple! There's pool and darts, though they're the plastic kind....not my fave but safer than metal lol.

Feeling down on your luck? Kept the party going for too long already and figure WTF let's find the outer limit? Not intimidated by sketch or maybe sketch is your sixth love language? Then Bears is for you. As far as I know, given my limited research, this may be one of the few bars on the west side that opens at dawn. Back door entry may be a right of passage in some circles, but at Bears you will literally want to enter through the back door right off the spacious and dimly lit (obviously!) parking lot. Now this is just a guess, but I'll bet you could find something other than what's pored from a bottle or drawn from a tap, should you be brave and curious enough to inquire. The place itself is split between 1) serious pool players, 2) solitary regulars, and 3) friends or groups of regulars congregating near the back door. There's a juke box. Bar seats about 15-20. Um, that's it. Drinks are cheap. Talk is cheaper. Get your drunk on and hope to God you wake up alone in your own bed when all is said and done.

Why don’t I recommend this bar? A bartender named Talitha. Full review literally everywhere else I can find to post it.
