The Lancers - San Diego, California

My friends and I went last night and we had not even been there for 3 minutes before a worker asked us if “we were there to order a drink or waste space.” After we responded that we were waiting for the pool table she said nothing, left then came back, and then told us we needed to leave if we weren’t going to order a drink. We had just sat down and were discussing what we wanted to order and were waiting to play pool. The place was not full so we were not taking anyone’s seat and not everyone had a drink on them. It’s worth to mention we were the only non white people in this bar as well.

A great little cash only place to hang out, play pool, play pinball, play trivia, listen to good jukebox music, laugh, and talk with friends...or make new ones. I always have a blast here. It's right on the corner of Park and Adam's Ave and so close to some fabulous eateries! Plumeria, Absynnian food, American food, coffee, just a great location for neighborhood num-nums.

This is my favorite bar in town. They have the best Bloody Mary’s and Bloody Maria’s ever. Bubba the owner and all bartenders are always friendly and welcoming every time I’ve gone. Lisa is my absolute fave bartender. I love how friendly and chill the atmosphere is here. I recently started bringing my girlfriend, Jen and her dog, Luna (beagle) very friendly and welcoming always. Thanks so much for the love and dog treats for Luna. You have customers for life with us.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent experience I had at Lancers. I am a frequent customer and have always enjoyed my visits until the incident that took place on Saturday 9.16.23. My last day to be there.

Bartender’s name Stefani,( the bar’s manager) she’s always drunk on duty. She has her own drink in the back of the bar( the other bartenders know and see about it). Many times didn’t change me back(but I let it go because I love this bar,it’s fine for me). Mixed drink weird because she’s too drunk ( I still take it , it’s just peach snap in my sunrise). She has always bad attitude and bad behavior with lots of customer.

I am disappointed by the lack of professionalism and customer service exhibited during this visit. As a loyal customer, I expect better treatment and a more enjoyable experience at your establishment.

Therefore, I kindly request that you address this matter promptly. I believe it is essential for the management to be aware of these issues to ensure they do not recur in the future. Additionally, I hope you will take the necessary steps to improve customer service and ensure a pleasant environment for all patrons.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your prompt response and efforts in resolving this issue. I hope to see positive changes in the future.

Sincerely,

PZ

Picture this: a place where gritty NYC vibes collide head-on with Chicago's no-nonsense attitude, all right here in sunny San Diego. Welcome to Lancers, my dive bar-loving amigos. If you're tired of cookie-cutter spots, this place is your escape hatch. It's the kind of joint where the decor is unapologetically grunge, and you'll feel like you stepped into a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of the city.

Alright, let's talk about the drinks. Hold on to your hats because Lancers is all about cash-only goodness. And let's be real, who needs those plastic cards when you're about to indulge in some serious liquid fun? And those pours? They don't play games here. These bartenders are like the heavy-pour wizards – you'll get your money's worth, and then some.

Day or night, Monday or Saturday, Lancers is ready to give you the kind of time you'll be telling your buddies about for weeks. It's got that carefree, anything-goes ambiance that makes you feel right at home. So, if you're in the mood for some drinks, laughs, and an all-around good ol' time, Lancers is where you need to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

This is my kind of place.
Really good selection on the juke box. Could be louder but hey o understand. People seemed friendly. Pretty good mix of ages

Great bartenders. Great drinks. The doorman might take a while to warm up to you, but that's his job. This is one of the only places in the area that regularly carries my favorite (and a particularly hard to find) beer. No taps, but a great bottle selection with plenty of standards and plenty of revolving options.
