This place doesn't accept anything else but a CA ID. Came in with my niece who is in town visiting but this place didn't hesitate to kick us out. In response to the owners comment, we both had legal IDs. My niece had a federally acknowledged identification. It was surprising to me that the bartender stated the bar would not acknowledge anything that wasn't California registered or US passport. She didn't even bother looking at her ID. Not complaining here, just letting the public know that it's something to consider if you bring people from out of town. We ended up going to the Fling later that night and had a blast.

Good little dive bar. The review should be 3.5 stars. I have been coming here for many years intermittently. Not what you would call a "regular" but a few times a year anyway. I remember the dart board and when they had board games available to the patrons so you could have a drink and play backgammon or Scrabble with friends to hang out. I do know that ownership has changed (congratulations, BTW) so I have popped in a couple of different times now to check it out. A lot is still the same, a few things different. There are a couple of things that I do feel that could be improved upon to really help out. My wife, her female friend and my daughter have all had the same experience without me and I have noticed it myself when I have been there. It seems that if you are female, by yourself or with a female friend, it is hard to get good service from the female bartenders. If you are a female that is a VERY regular and recognized, friends with the bartender, you will get good service. If you are a female with a guy, you will get good service. This really shocks me as the bar is now female owned. It makes women NOT want to come because they are getting poor service. The bartenders are always flirting/serving the guys but literally ignoring and honestly, speaking poorly to the women. My daughter was there and getting poor service. She called me and I came over as we live less than 10 minutes away. As soon as I walked in, I was getting service, but my daughter had been ignored for 20 minutes. Please have a chat with the staff about this as it is just not right, and you are losing business because of this practice. As a female yourself, you should be appalled by this behavior, as I'm sure that you would not like to be treated this way at someone else's restaurant, bar or business. Also, sometimes the music is way too loud, it would be nice if they regulated it a bit when people are actually talking to each other. The food here is good and reasonably priced. I feel that the draft beers have gone up a bit, $7 for a draft Modelo on my last visit. Other dive bars in the area are about $5.50. I also did not appreciate the owners comment about inflation goes up under the Democrats. This is not a political playhouse, to be honest and factual, prices go up under both parties. I was there last on the day they got their new sign installed. It looks good. If they could fix the bartender problem, this would definitely go up in my ratings.

Best bar you can find in this area. Dan and Trina are so enjoyable to interact with it turned my whole mood around. Trina is very special. Drinks are strong but taste delicious. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough. Near Xmas many places have been average at best. Trust me, this is the spot. So happy to finally want to be a regular again! Check this place out!

I have been coming to the Quill since I was of legal age to drink when Bob was the owner and bartender. Me and my friends practically grew up here it was THE DIVE BAR. I hate to even write this I never thought I'd be leaving a bad review for this place but there's a bartender working here with the worst attitude for a dive bar. I don't even know her name she's blonde long hair beautiful girl but has a terrible attitude I don't know if maybe she had too much to drink but the way this woman handles herself behind the bar is terrible. I came in from a smoke break and I asked her to close my tab she printed me out a receipt and she tells me this is how much I owe her and I told her ok you have my card and I don't know if that bothered her but she goes to get the cards and comes back and asks my name I tell her then she holds the credit cards in her hand like a deck of cards and tells me "I don't FEEL like looking for your card. Which one is it" in such derogatory tone and I told her my name again and then I said "I gave you my name and I don't FEEL like doing your job for you" because if it comes to feelings I really didn't feel like doing that. I came to the bar to have a drink enjoy the company of my friends I didn't come to have to stand the attitude of a bartender. Well I should never have said that to her because then she started yelling telling me off walking back and forth irate completely lost in her anger. I didn't engage her but I did stand my ground in that I didn't feel like doing her job I talked to her the way she talked to me and she didn't like that. Dan came in to try and remedy the situation because by this point she had just walked away from the bar screaming. He got my card closed my tab and did his best to defuse the situation and she went after him. She yelled at this man at the top of her lungs telling him he wasn't anybody he wasn't her boss and how many times has she told him not to tell her what to do. It's was disgusting to watch. I hope the cameras at the bar have sound and her manager can hear and see how horrible she told off her coworker.
This bar is awesome!! It's quaint, divey. Definitely a locals spot, but I felt welcomed coming here. They have a extensive menu for bar foods and damn is it worth trying. The owner of the bar bought everyone a round of lemon drop shots (I believe there were at least 14 people inside). I went in on Monday night with one of my buddies and they had karaoke going on..Totally welcoming patrons. No frills, no fancy butts. Just a nice relaxing spot.

Honestly, this place has been amazing. However, there is this bartender named Chris and she is all over the place. I highly advise to avoid. Her mood is all over.My first and hopefully my last encounter was very unpleasant.

"Where everybody knows your name." The quill is unpretentious and delivers exactly what it needs to. Fast, cold drinks, and decent bar food. Service is quick and easy, with nice staff. It's dark inside, with sports on all of the TVs.

The Quill Lounge takes you back to a time when smaller bars were king. It's been around since 1959, the top of the bar is decorated with pennies, plenty of tv's and the booths against the wall are wide and made of leather kinda a 70's feel with No large n noisy crowd's. If you want to enjoy a cozy booth with you significant other or just feel like having a drink or two at a Lounge from a time gone by then it's for you!???
