This is a great dive bar. Great service, and the drinks won't disappoint. If you are a Temple City High School alumni, this is the place to go.

We came here on a whim because "the Dive" was packed and we didn't want to wait. We've been here to the Creat few times in thr past and it was good from our past experience. The entrance is at the back, by the parking lot. We came right in and we seated ourselves at the 2nd booth because all the other booths and bar were filled with people. We waited and found out through yelp that you look at the board for a dinner menu and an appetizer menu. It's very simple, steak for $14.99 or burger for $7.49. Cheeseburger is 7.99. The one lady was busy serving and cooking so we ordered with the bartender. It took a while for our food because she's the only one person. We started off with their fried zucchini sticks and they were delicious!! It's far cheaper than any place for fried zucchinis for $4.99 and ut was a giod amount. It came with two ranch dressings for dipping sauce. Soon our steak dinner plate and cheeseburger plate came and we enjoyed both. They have about 7 tvs to watch sports or whatever happens to be on. Both the bartender and the lady server/chef were pleasant to talk to. While I was yelping, I happen to leave my phone at our booth and we paid and left. After an hour later, I had realized my phone wasn't with me so our daughter called them to ask, sure enough they had it to the side for us to pick it up. They're great honest people and I would return any day for a simple meal!! Thanks very much!!

Was here yesterday and today with some friends, catching up for the holidays. We come here every now and then, and it never disappoints. Wings and burgers are great, drinks are simple and get the job done, and the bartenders are on it. It's always nice to see familiar faces behind the bar too. The bartender (Marino) tonight has been here for a while and he makes everyone feel like they're regulars, no matter how busy or slow it is. Zero complaints. And they have Taco Tuesday: 2 for $3

Today was a fun day at the Crest. The Dynamic Duo behind the bar (Nancy & Jimmy) were on their game. I enjoy the camaraderie and the mix of customers and staff interacting with one another. Three days before Christmas and there were joyful and happy people in front and behind the bar!!

It was my first time at the crest, my boyfriend dj for a family friend and the atmosphere was nice I heard that the food is really good they told me next time I come to try out a steak with a potatoe, the lady bartender is super nice! It's a really chill place it's an older scene but really nice to relax and have a drink.

This is a message for the owner of the crest bar. I wanted to let you know that for the last 2 years your employee Mariano has been telling people that your establishment is closed as early as 8pm. I have seen a party of twelve come by more then once ( a group of college kids) and be turned away . Now all the Sunday night patrons go to the temrose bar instead of your establishment because of being turned away so much by Mariano,stop by there and see for yourself if you can. When I asked him why are you doing this ? His response was " I don't like working Sunday nights" , complaining that he is to tired after the weekend to work sundays, So he was pushing , telling people that if your not hear ( the crest bar) before 8pm ,to not even bother coming,that he would not allow any more people in after 8pm. The only time I have seen him not turn away business is when the owner was present. He has been costing this establishment to much money for to long, and something needs to be done about him.

First time here the one guy came up and took our order (they do not have menus for food) anyways brought us our order and then I had to go up to bar to get another beer and paid tan while there met a friend there it was low key chairs were a bit torn but I guess I'll give it another try

With a basic menu and a full bar, this is the perfect place to hang out with friends. WARNING Mary will not deal with bs from any so act the way you want to be treated. I tried their cheese burger, steak, and onion rings which were delicious!!! I was not expecting it as good as it was based on appearance. I judged the quality of the food based upon the simple appearance of it but the minute I took a bite of every item I was shocked. The burger patty was thick n cooked perfectly, onions rings were delicious with ranch, steak was delicious and the drinks . The staff and what I can assume are the usuals made my visit a great experience.
