Pioneer Pub

Cheap drinks, loud music. Depends on the night but this can be a cool spot to come hang out at. Bartenders are always super nice!

I've been a regular here since my 21st birthday! Great atmosphere/music/drinks. All the staff here is AMAZING from bartenders to the bouncer. If they did not have the staff they currently have I would probably not come back, they keep Pioneer Pub going!!

The bouncer kicked my friends out for playing quarters without warning. Without skipping a beat or asking them to stop, the bouncer came in from his outdoor post & kicked our friend out by using a physical push. We have experienced this behavior from the bouncer before, by him calling my friend a bitch. I'm infuriated we are being treated like shit. I wish I could say this was antagonized by drunken behavior but it wasn't on all accounts. The fact he told our friend he was "strapped" when he kicked him out is outlandish. I don't know what he's going through to be this awful, but get him the fuck out.

the bouncer kicked my friend out because he was flipping a coin...and then the bartender said they were antagonizing him because they were talking about how weird that was. this place defends this behavior. the worst place in OC go to ice house instead!

Bouncer called me a "little b*tch" because he didn't like the way I was looking at him while I was waiting for my aunt, who he was busy hitting on. I guess a 5'3" girls' drunk eyes can be mistakenly threatening.

The bouncer seems to pick fights with you just for no reason. I had two beers and then was told I couldn't come back in after I left because I seemed drunk off of two beers. Anyways fun place though.

Bouncer was super disrespectful and wouldn't scan my friends ID when it wouldn't scan the first time. She asked if he could scan it again because it had been rain but he refused and said it would just do it again. Seriously the biggest asshole i have ever met. Idk why they protect this place like it is the greatest bar in the world, when it reality it's just a small bar in a sketchy part of town. Don't recommend, Midway up the hill is WAY better

Wish I could give this place less than zero stars.
This place is terrible. Didn't even want to go, but ended up there with a group of people. Found out my ID was expired here (just barely)-- I left a DV situation and my mail doesn't come to me for security reasons for my kids and I. I appreciate them pointing this out, but super frustrated that they denied me entry because of it...I've worked in the service industry, and I'm clearly over 30. Honestly, I get it, but was pretty disgusting when the owner told me I had to wait outside after I had been waiting inside the door super respectfully for awhile at that point. THEN, he proceeded to tell another customer that he needed 30 minutes (because he had clearly been over served), but then to come back.
Yikes. I also said "excuse me" when trying to leave and he basically blocked me for a sec and all in all, the entire thing was extremely uncomfortable.. and hurtful.
And felt powerless despite the fact that I'm clearly over 30 but a wasted, over-served dude can come back in.. yuck.
Just avoid this place altogether. The owner seems like a misogynistic douchebag. No thanks!
I also just had my drinks at another bar bought by a chick who was treated similarly at this bar

Most disrespectful bar I've attended,and I will not be coming back. I was literally told after going outside I wasn't able to come back in because of my shirt. After paying for drinks and lotto they wouldn't let me use the bathroom.

Fun place on the weekend! Hybrid of dive bar and club hahahaha people in the comments saying it's terrible are stuck up
