14 reviews for Tina's Tavern
close to my house and has new castle on tap ;-)
Door man (Mike) is nice
Gets packed sometimes
has music pool and darts
Dj plays music on sat nights
This place is a hit or miss.. Mostly miss, once in a while you'll find some cute babes, but not really.. I like it for the beer, they got Hef on tap and well.. keep it coming..!!! although, you leave with a number, a lady or whatnot.. you'll always leave there smelling like an ashtray!!!
2 stars cause this place is right down the street from my house
3 stars subtracted for the clientele that goes as well as some of the drama I have seen go down here
If big mommas if what your looking for, you can come clean house at this spot

If you are skinny, you aren't welcome. 250+ lbs invited only.
My friends Tony-(http://www.myspace.com...) & Terry-(http://www.myspace.com...) invited me to this lovely hole in the wall. Lets just say as soon as my friend Tony walked in...the parachute panties started dropping.
1 Point for the ambiance.
1 Point for the chola's w/ bronze hair, 24k gold name plate necklaces, dickies & spaghetti strap t-shirts two sizes too small, revealing breast tattoo's, & black lip liner.
1 Point for the amount of confidence these BBW's had.
Shoutout: Slick & Express-for making my night "TONS OF FUN" !
(no pun intended)

Great if you
-want a beer real quick
-have nowhere else to go
-want to see your classmates from La Puente High (i didnt go there, but it seems like everybody else did).
-want to find out where your baby's daddy is hiding.
-wishes street cred by getting down with one of them girls with blond brassy hair, and tacky clothes (i call them "poorly rolled tamale girls")
I go there quite often, cuz well... I want a beer real quick
a small newcastle, and im ready to go.
Today I went there um about, 5 Oclock with my exhusband, we had a beer, talked, used the facilities, and went outside the carpet store and smoke.
good ole West Covina,I wouldnt change it for anything
I've only been here once, about a couple weeks ago. The crowd was mixed, I did see all the cholos/cholas that everyone refers to here! But I also saw younger people, and people who looked like they were in their mid twenties. So I would say that this place is a mixed crowd.
The beer itself tasted great! No complaints. The female bartender however, was not great. I didn't get a name, but she looked to be of Caucasian descent, and was covered in tattoos. Never have I met such a rude bartender! Been to some way nicer bars, with better looking bartenders (male and female) who you would EXPECT to be cocky and condescending but turn out to be pretty cool. At least for tip's sake!!! But this lady obviously didn't care about a tip.
I had asked her if they accepted debit or credit, because I had heard that this was a cash-only place. She said yes. So I placed my order and handed her my debit card, and she said "how much do you want?"
which confused the heck out of me....
I asked her what exactly she meant, to which she fake laughed and said to herself "how many times do I have to explain this...." while rolling her eyes.
She had a perfect opportunity to explain the way debit/credit cards worked at this place, when I asked her the first time.
Its basically like an atm machine behind the bar, and the bartenders withdraw your money for you.
An explanation would have been great.
This place wasn't too bad, so if I do go back, I hope she's not there.
Oh and they still allow smoking inside. Which, for a non smoker sucks.
By the end of the night, my eyes were burning horribly.
Myself, along with the other fellows of Asian descent that I am sometimes in the company of, decided to check this place out one night.
The moment we walked in, I swore I heard the record that was playing screech to a high-pitched halt, and all eyes pointing in our direction. This was odd in that, I'm fairly sure this place doesn't even HAVE a record player. It becoming glaringly obvious, not only to ourselves, but to the other bar perusers this night, that we weren't the usual crowd that Tina's brings in.
After the initial awkwardness, we proceeded to the bar, and got treated to eye candy from the well endowed bartender lady, and killer prices on huge beers on tap. Despite being called the "Wu-Tang Clan," and being invited to an Esse party that we chose to skip, the night we had there was fun, and we have returned a couple of times.
If you're bored and up to meet some random people, and I reiterate that randomness, especially if you're from Irvine, go check out Tina's Tavern.

Tina's is aight if you don't have anywhere else to go. I use to like it a lot more before all the "trouble" started. Now they seem to be more strict and Mike the bouncer is on edge more : )
I use to dig that you can smoke in there, but they took that away too : ( I like to walk back and forth from The Cove, Royal Lounge and then back to Tina's. I do that because I go take shots down the way lol.
Tina's = aight!
I come here when we can't find a place to go. Its an "OK" spot. There use to be a lot of trouble here but i haven't seen or heard of anything in a longtime. Just make sure not to mess with the bouncer. Last week, he clotheslined some guy, and then he body slammed him!
Prices are fair and good selection. Nice mugs. Can't go wrong with large mugs. They also have a few T.V's and pool tables. They have Dj's some nights and I'm not sure anymore but they use to have live bands.

I recently moved to West Covina, and have been checking out the local dive bars, and, so far, this has been the best one. It had all the essentials and none of the frills that I do not want. Good cold beer, a good jukebox that wasn't too pricey, and good, funny, easy to talk to, bartenders. I would definitely check this place out!

Tina's is your basic dive bar with pool tables, TVs here and there, dart machines, and a cigarette vending machine. Only difference is that its a bit of a sports bar than dive and they only serve beer & wine.
* Like most dives, they ignore the no smoking indoor rules.
* New Castle is on tap, big plus!
* Beer in pitchers.
* More seats than other typical dives.
* Its a bit more safer now than in the past. They have a cool door guy infront that basically filters out the idiots.
cant go in with a dodger hat....lates
my favorite dive bar... it's pretty chill and everyone's pretty friendly. it's standard - a couple of pool tables, darts, only 1 of those nifty bar-top computerized game things (i'm a sucker for word games) and a juke box. it's laid back and great for when i just want to hang out with friends for a beer or two.

This is a really cool place to hangout and catch a game. Good environment, good beer selection, and reasonable prices. And you can bring in food from the taco nazo a couple doors down...sweet.
