Nice, friendly atmosphere. People are cool.
Discriminatory bar: Opposes out of state / military patrons: Unsatisfactory given that this is a military community. Would give 0 if it was an option.I enjoy going to this bar for the most part. The one thing I disagree with is that they feel so strongly about marines. This bar will let you in if you are a lady by yourself no matter where your ID is from. But, if you are a male they automatically assume you are a marine if you have an out of state ID. Bouncers blame it on the owner and specifically say they do not want marines in their bar. 1. I’m not sure how this discrimination against marines is legal. 2. How can you not appreciate a patron serving your country and wanting to even give their service and spend money at your bar!? 3. Marines - don’t waste your time or money here because it’s not appreciated.PS - go to Goodys and go to the dirty bird (Laguna) - they appreciate service members and out of patronage.
Best watering hole in San Clemente
Awesome.
A great place to hang out with great staff from the security to the bartenders (Kadie, Madison and Tank are our favorites! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ extra 5 stars for them) it is always a good environment and a fun yet laid back atmosphere.
Anti-military. Pretty disrespectful considering that local areas overall economy is boosted by neighboring Camp Pendleton.
Two pool tables old time pics on the wall nice bartender Madison
Bartenders are always 100% on it.
Good place for go out.
Absolutely sad! From being only approximately 14 minutes away from one of the largest Marine Corps bases in the United States, Ole’s decides to not only discriminate against Marines but other outside state licenses as well. For a state that is prideful on its open-arm attitude, and acceptance, this bar has absolutely none of it. (Bouncer at the door only accepts California licenses and thats it, no military or other state I.D’s.) I’ve never experienced such discrimination in California, and as it is a shame, I wouldn’t want to waste my money at a totalitarian regime bar regardless. Disgusted.
