Awesome local pub!

by lagirl2009

This place is an awesome dive bar to hang out in on a nightly basis if you can. The staff is always friendly if you are respectful and friendly too. The food is great for it being bar food and the portions are HUGE, this place does not promote itself as a 5 star restaurant so expect good BAR food and that's what you'll get. As for those saying there is some kind of "gambling" going on Tuesday nights it's actually a really fun $100 raffle; you put your name in a book and every Tuesday night they pick a name, you have to be there to claim the price or your name is posted up as a looser and the $100 goes into the next week's raffle, meaning the following week it'll be $200, I think the biggest it ever got was just over a grand. As for those saying Mehaul is rude or obnoxious you could not be more wrong, he is super friendly and cares about the environment in his bar, so if you are ruining the vibe for everyone by being an a-hole of course he's going to treat you the same way. If you come expecting a super trendy place forget it, this place is down to earth and relaxed which is why I love it. I come here in jeans and T with some old converse on expecting to have a good time with friends, if i want to get bothered by some drunk a-holes I'll go to Hollywood. As for those upset about being hurried out of the bar when it's closing time, DUH! It's CLOSING time which means these ppl still need to clean up for an hour or more before heading home. I love this place and I bring all of my out of town friends here, I'd recommend it to EVERYONE in an instant. (PS I'm 24 and the crowd is a little older but that's why it's such a chill place to hang out in)

• Pros: the vibe, cheap drinks, great selection of international beers, smoking patio
• Cons: slow service on busy nights

Watch your Credit Card Bartenders are Unskilled, Overcharge and drink behind the Bar

by Mattyballz

Great Entertainment (As far as Bands go) . On Feb. 22, 2009 I went by myself for the 1st time in at least 10 years to see an excellent cover band that will be at "Brennan's Pub" on Lincoln in Marina Del Rey on March 7, 2009 The owner must not pay his Bartenders very well, I started a tab the short ugly brunette Bartender physically gave me a number tag to identify my Credit Card. I had a shot of 1800 Tequila and a Heineken (bottled) when I went to close out my tab she charged me over $38.00 and told me "You were buying drinks for everyone" with an attitude from hell! (I came to the Bar alone and didn't know anybody why would I buy total strangers drinks) ) I questioned it and then she called me a idiot and against her will changed my total to $22.50 which is still not even close to my order total?! when I asked how much the Tequila was she said "$8.50 but only charged me $4.50 a#%hole" so that means the Heineken's are $18.00 after that the Door man tells me" You have to leave now the Bars closed". I have been a good Bartender/Bouncer for over 6 years and can't believe that the owner as such rude, arrogant, weak, thieving, lames representing his establishment. I will never never ever go there again and don't recommend it to anyone or anybody!! Thumbs down way way down!! On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate this Bar and its crew a -5

• Pros: None
• Cons: Over charging credit cards

Great Neighborhood Irish Pub.... Fun

by Jiminculvercity

Hey, I am not a big bar person, but when I want to relax without a lot of frills, this is a great place. It's ALWAYS busy....ALWAYS...... Great Food, eat in or take out. A real mix of people. The staff is friendly. Often they have entertainment. I live close, and go to pick up some food to take home. I have a drink while waiting for my food, and I always say to myself, "If I was a bar person, this is where I would go."

• Pros: food and entertainment
• Cons: crowded on Irish Holidays

Rude Owner + Rude Staff = Terrible Bar

by CardiffGiant

Owner and staff are rude and disrespectful. Culver City is exploding with new night life, there are great new restaurants and bars close to downtown. In these tough times there is no need to waste your time or hard earned money at this RETREAD.

• Pros: Nada
• Cons: Pretty much Everything

I Love This Bar!

by catped

I love this place! It was recommended by a co-worker who is a local and I finally got a friend to go with and try it outt. Everyone was very friendly; food was decent. I was eventually introduced to the owner, who I understand is a Culver City Council member, and he seemed to be a great guy. I do want to say, in all fairness, that I've read all the reviews, and it's interesting to note that all of the people who didn't like this place seemed to have some sort of personal vendetta or motive, i.e. they new the owner's name (I was introduced, but didn't remember it until I read it here) and the level of their anger seemed dispropotionate to the act of writing an informative review -- just seemed very personal. Someone with an ax to grind, competitor?? I don't know, but they seemed a little suspect -- just an observation -- doesn't mean I'm right. I just had a great time, loved the people, bartender, staff,, etc. and will DEFINITELY be back. It is dark, but I kind of like that in a bar -- that's just me -- for what it's worth, this is MY review. CHEERS!

• Pros: Fun, Fun, Fun -- nice clientele and staff
• Cons: I love "dark", but if you don't, then you won't like it.

Small, Friendly Dive Bar/Irish Pub

by bluecupofice

First and foremost, this is a great Irish pub and a great sports bar. That being said, it's also very much a dive bar. The drinks are cheap and strong and it's pretty dark. The crowd is usually late 28-35ish and everyone is really friendly. You can always meet someone new and strike up a conversation. The guy to girl ratio is about 2349203949203:1, but the guys aren't creepy or offensive; they're usually just there to share a pint and watch some sports.

The bar staff is attentive, and they will remember you within 2 or 3 visits, no matter how far apart those visits are. The bartenders are sweet, can make anything well, and are quick and efficient.

The food = HUGE portions, and delicious. I recommend the Joxer's burger or the nachos. It's typical bar food and it's priced moderately for the portions you get.

The best night to go is Wednesday, for karaoke. The regular to first or second timer ratio is pretty even on Wednesdays, and you're sure to have a fabulous time. They also do some sort of gambling thing on Tuesdays, have live music on Fridays, and do a pub quiz on Sunday.

Also, I'm surprised at the reviews on here that say Mehaul is offensive/rude. Mehaul is a stand up guy and also a City Councilman for Culver City. You can tell he really loves Joxer's, Culver City, and the people who inhabit both!

Overall, this bar gets my full recommendation. Try it out with the expectation that it IS a dive bar, and you'll love it!

skip it

by PantsParty

I went to check out Joxer Daly?s last Saturday based on a city search article about places to check out in Culver City. Big mistake. This bar is tiny and has a weird vibe. I felt as though everyone there was a regular and 40+. Not my scene. Additionally the food was terrible and if it hadn?t been so dark in there, I?m pretty sure that I wouldn?t have even tried it.

• Pros: cheap
• Cons: weird vibe, a lot of regulars, gross food

HORRIBLE BAR-----STAY AWAY FROM JOXER DALYS

by culver13

It would be hilarious if it were not true, the staff (including Mehaul) are extremely rude and aggressive (there could be some racial overtones that lead to that type of behavior....). The place is a dump and not worth the aggravation. Mehaul reminds me of a 12 year old girl I once knew??

Go check out Irish Times if you really want a good Irish Bar.

• Pros: N/A
• Cons: Staff & Owner
