We came to Barbara's for a few drinks on a Saturday night. They were having karaoke night which we thought it would be fun. Instead the person mcing was extremely rude for no reason. He or she kept making remarks about the singers in a rude not a funny way. At the end of the night the dj and the manager kept yelling to pay our tabs and go BUT the bartenders were having trouble providing the checks so we could pay and go. One of the bartenders even told us that the manager is an ahole. Definitely avoid this place. There are so many other places in Bishop Arts you can go rather than this crappy place.

Every neighborhood needs a Barbara’s Pavillion; a gay dive bar that welcomes all, and all show up! You won’t be dazzled by the hidden store front entrance, under whelming ambiance, or limited liquor selection, rather, the friendliness of the staff, and locals, and their fair drink prices. Known for great karaoke and spoken word on select nights of the month, Barbara’s still operates as a private club, so be ready to scan your ID upon arrival. If your thing is sitting at the bar chatting up the bartender, a fun game of billiards, or a smoke with friends on the patio, you can do them all at Barbara’s Pavilion. Maybe you’ll see me there belting out a tune. Heads up, parking is tricky! Xoxo Lorenzo!

I like that they didn't allow smoking inside, and I like that me and my wife got some non-alcoholic drinks for cheap/actually what they're worth.

I had a really bad experience with a bartender on the early morning of 09/30/ 23. Bartender with short hair was very rude which is one thing, but then totally came up with a lie that I had thrown away the receipt in an attempt to not tip her. Bizarre behavior. I corrected her and she was still very rude and ugly for no reason. Very hostile. I was with about 15 people, if it wasn’t for us being there, the place would have been empty. You would think the staff here would be grateful.

I love coming here but can't help but feel like the people that work/ come here are racist. DJ DeeDee that comes for karaoke is very curt when it comes to song requests that aren't in English. She always has an annoyed face when I go up to her. Newsflash! People speak more than one language. I was told she carries French songs so I was hopeful that she'd have something in Spanish- but it seems like appealing to a Latino audience isn't really important to her (despite there being a decent amount of Latinos that visit.)

Great places. Fun people!! Great prices and a very friendly relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend. It's out of my way but worth the trip.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful bar... Great service, selection and prices. This place has the authentic dive bar feel. They have a cigarette machine, pool table and dive aesthetics. There is a really cute patio outside as well! Music is spot on. Best bar I have been to in Bishop Arts by far.

They need more bartenders. Service is so slow on a Friday with 1 bartender!!!! Awful. I used to love this place.
