The Toadstool

This place is ghetto. It smells like mold and old cigarettes. The atmosphere is very uninviting. The beer on tap was stale or they just run out. Maybe that’s why they sell their beer really cheap. Pool tables are nice but seems like that’s the only thing they invested into this bar. SAD

Cash only bar. Nice bartender. Laguntas IPA, Amber Rock and Newcastle on tap. Bring your own food! They have a Jagermeister and Fireball cinnamon whiskey on tap! Really relaxed vibe.

Dive bar in every sense, but great if that’s what you’re looking for. Passable beer list, including a few craft selections, all served in plastic cups, just like you’d expect. Fine place for a cheap beer or cheap well drinks. And pool.
CASH ONLY.

I like to drink. I like to drink but not around cigarette smoke (I quit a long time ago). And maybe being used to NO smoking environments in CA so long, the smell of fresh and old smell of cigarette smoke here is really detracting from the drinking experience. Maybe it’s just the early afternoon staff but they look seriously surly and hating life being there. For young bartenders, they are the saddest bartenders I have ever encountered in my 44 years of life. Beer on tap choices are not bad, when their taps are working. It’s a hit or miss that their taps are working when I go in. I like the fact the bar is only walking distance from my home but the less than friendly bartenders and non working taps is killing that «buzz.» And when I want my alternative fave drink of Bloody Marys, it’s a hit or miss they have all the necessary ingredients (by the way, NO celery sticks). They use small cheap plastic cups on top if that. I wish we had The Glenn bar in place.
I gave it the score I did only because the drinks are relatively inexpensive and they have a decent jukebox, pool tables, a couple of TV screens but they need to get real bartenders and better customer service. Be prepared to walk out of there stinking of cigarette smoke (and sometimes of weed).
I eventually gave up and decided I’m better off serving myself drinks at home! Hops and Barley Alehouse here in South Gate looks appealing…

The Toadstool… SG’s low key hang out spot. What more can I say. Pool tables and a wide selection of stuff to drink. Why not?
PS
Lets drink.

Came there this Saturday for my friends Bday. Been living in SG for a long time, but never been to this spot.
So basically heres the just of the place. 3 pool tables in the middle of the place, with a dance floor on one side. They have a Jukebox, but on this night, since it was a bday, they got a dj to be here, which was actually really good.
No cover, and they allow smoking inside. I didnt see any security, which was kinda weird, but oh well.
They have 8 beers on tap, but only serve them in styrofoam cups. $ 3 bucks per cup.
Bottle beers they carry are Corona’s, Blue Moon, and Bud Light. Those were $ 3.50 each.
Also sells beers in Pitchers ($ 10) and bud lights in cans.
They do have a full bar. Drinks are really cheap.
All in all, pretty cool low key spot, that has a lot of potential for more.

Came in here, in accident… Not going to lie, it felt like I walked into a bar movie scene taken place in a rural area: and I mean that in a good way.
Lot’s of cheers, yells, singing, dancing, pool table and good olé’ fun. It felt like everyone knew each other.
The environment consists of a mix of locals that boggles the mind.
Laid back.
I got my beer in a styrofoam cup, that’s the only problem: p
3 pool tables at your disposal, some beers on tap
Not my type of bar but definitely a dive bar to give a chance.
