Steppin in and smackin some sense into rusty and took him to the car and sobered him up, Rustus got all emotional after that and apologized so we’re still buds but little does he know I had his olé lady play with japes Willis that night behind sues and I took pix and rusty don’t know, anyway were all buds and just to be clear me n rusty are best of buds still.

Clean, fun, nice local customers and staff when we visit.
A full, well stocked cocktail bar with plenty of beers to choose and chips and nuts.
Reasonable drink prices. No food.
Only one TV we could find, but it seems to have most sports.
Three pool tables with a few free pool nights if ya buy 2 drinks. Occasional bands and Karaōke.
Fireplace in a cozy corner.
Amanda is a fantastic bartender. Attractive and sweet as sugar, good service and nobody’s fool, doesn’t take crap from anyone.
Tips appreciated.
Hey, It’s expensive being a chick, loosen up tightwads.
Pizza delivered from the friendly joint a block away was better than the chains.
We share it with everyone.

Great local bar. Friendly people. Live music. Adding Sue’s Tavern to our short list of favorite stops along highway 5.

Pre-​scouted this place on Unilocal for our recent buddy trip to Bakersfield, figuring we would need a pit stop at this juncture. Score! Friendly bartender and customers, decent selection of cold beer at more than fair prices.
We happened to be there at the time of their yearly car show (Memorial Day Weekend), so the place was probably popping more than a typical Saturday afternoon. The clientele were probably more buzzed as well for this early on a Saturday due to the car show, but maybe not??? This is the kind of place where people have their dogs tied up by the door begging for attention, kind of like me.
It is only 10 minutes from the freeway, so plan your pit stop accordingly on your next trip through the Grapevine. It will be on my itinerary for all future trips whenever passing by.
Cheers!

I literally came here for this place having only 2 reviews. It came off as uncharted territory. I needed to explore; It’s the indigenous in me.
Upon discovering Sue’s via Unilocal,I called to see what time the place closes. A charming lady picked up with heavy heavy crowd ambience in the background. She couldn’t hear my request for the business hours, so she asks for me to wait one minute as she goes outside with what appears to be a landline cordless to cater to a potentially new customer request. #oldschool
#fastforward Pulled up to Sues with my window down to hear heavy heavy rock live bands playing. Immediately thinking this is no place for indigenous or any sort of minorities. I pull to the side. Ask Siri to pick a number between 0 and 10 to decide my fate (because I’ve come this far).
Now, I’m the kind of person who believes all even dice or coin landings mean «do what’s safe. do what prunes do». But I landed a 9 (an odd) so I choose to park.
I walk to the door and nowwww there’s Chris Brown and T-​Pain playing. I immediately feel better about the choices made tonight.
Walk in. Mixed crowd. Much greetings. Much love. I’m home. I love it. I hate that I’m leaving to never see anyone in here ever again.
Great story.

Clean fun and good hearty locals. Bartender was full of energy and locals play pool. Good local bar for good warm, hearty laughs and fun.
