**Dive Bar Charm Meets Closure: A Local Favorite Reflects on What Made It Special**

For years, patrons flocked to this dive bar, drawn by friendly staff, affordable drinks, and a lively atmosphere. Regulars cherished the vibrant team, especially the engaging bartenders, while newcomers enjoyed the classic dive vibe, complete with karaoke and pool tables. Despite occasional concerns about cleanliness and service, many left with fond memories. However, recent news of its permanent closure leaves a bittersweet taste, as this once-thriving spot epitomized the essence of camaraderie and good times. It serves as a reminder of the impact community spaces have in our lives, even as they fade into memory.

Was Chris A at Deva's a mag?

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the permanent closure of Deva's, although perhaps that's not the most cheerful way to put it. Deva's was truly one of the great dive bars... View all feedback.

I always enjoy visiting Kayla, Mel, and Jessica! If they’re working, you’re guaranteed to have a great time. I've been coming here for years and love Mark as well! Just a heads-up, it might be best to avoid Saturdays...

It's like Cheers but in Tustin. The tacos there on Tuesdays by Chavo's Tacos are fire too.

However, when I finally placed my order for two drinks, she questioned why I would order two drinks while sitting alone, making me feel uncomfortable. I can’t recall her exact words, but she implied that it was strange for me to order two drinks. I explained that given the long wait, and knowing I had to be somewhere, it made sense to order both drinks at once rather than risk waiting another 10 to 20 minutes. Overall, I felt unwelcome. As a bartender myself, I understand the challenges of the job, but the atmosphere felt hostile and uninviting.

It's a bit tricky to locate, as it’s tucked away at the back of an unlit parking lot, but trust me, it's worth the effort. This place offers a genuine dive bar experience. Make sure to see Brittani (I'm unsure of the spelling), as she's an excellent bartender who knows her stuff and creates a fun, laid-back atmosphere. I would gladly follow her to any bar where she works. My friends and I were looking for a spot to relax after a day out in Tustin, and this was the perfect choice. You won't be disappointed if you get Brittani behind the bar and are in the mood for a true dive bar experience.

This is a place down, they have good deals on drinks, but this is clearly a place where guys show to see the bartenders in bikini. The guys here are friendly, but the bathroom has a stink. You can play pool, but the sticks are bad and the tables do not work properly. There's not much to do here, but I liked the TV. There is a fairly large (I think maybe Asian lady) that wore too much makeup. I'm not sure, but I think she was a hooker. It was disgusting to sit next to her, and nothing I played on the jukebox was heard. So it felt like wasting money here, it's not good if you don't show up with a lot. Most people seemed to have a good time, so that's not bad. This place must be cleaned, most chairs are dirty and fall apart. It wasn't the worst experience, but it wasn't pleasant either. I had a drink and before I left my place, I was taken. It was crowded here, I guess that's a place where the regulars like it.

As always it's the people who make the place. You already know it's a eye candy bar,but personally Gretchen's cute little left ear she uses to hold her hair back how she was a good sport in billiards will have me coming back. This is on a Monday afternoon. She's new but doing great. Go easy on her.?
