    The beers are good. Not the biggest selection though. Great vibe. Lots of tv's with games on. The food is amazing! Everything we had was absolutely delicious. This is going to be a go to spot for us from now on.

    It's okay for what it is. Their spicy chicken sandwiches are an oversized Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich. Wings are good though.

    This place was awesome it was right across the hotel we stayed at, went there for some drinks and ended up getting a couple of appetizers! Very chill spot to have some dinner or even some drinks! We got the sweet and sour calamari, the pulled pork sliders and the potato skins! They were soo good i snuck in the kitchen to thank the cooks!

    If you're looking to go to a place like this for food, you expect bar food that's HOPEFULLY okay, but at least you can have some drinks while you eat. You DO get bar food here...but its delicious. The burgers are amazing. I've had a couple different burgers here, and have not been disappointed. If you like blue cheese, get that with grilled mushrooms...sooo good! The chicken tenders are good too. But thats not the only reason this is a great spot to go. The staff is what makes the place great for me. From bartender to barback, they keep moving. They have a good attitude, even when things get a little hectic for them. Liz was attentive and professional. Chloe handles her business, and has the most addictive smile 😁. Moose is always working making sure everything is in order. All the while Denny is out there getting to know his patrons and making sure they are getting the best service they can offer. This is my new spot to eat when I'm in the area! Thanks for giving me something to look forward to when I come out here next time.

    Stubborn Mule is a great place with really good burgers. You can eat very well here, the beer also tastes very good and the waiters are very friendly. We all felt very comfortable and will definitely come again.

    Customer service was too notch. Our server always had a smile and returned frequently to ask us if we needed anything. The food was awesome too. I ordered the nachos and buffalo wings. Both great, nachos had home made chips and the wings were just right with the flavor. My mom had a salad which was delicious. All in all a great inviting vibe from staff and solid food. Coming back soon!

    Whatever you order, you have to upgrade to onion rings. They are so crispy and delicious. The atmosphere is comfy, the service is top shelf. Our servers, the sisters Justine & Secret, really made our visit rememerable. Glad we tried this place out........

    This is one of my go-to places for meetings that I hold for my union. The staff is very friendly the happy hour is good with lots of options. Their food is very good and the drinks aswell. I only took two pictures this time, but I have pretty much tried everything here and recommend it. One of my favorite things that they occasionally have is their posole Verde, it is amazing.

    Great beer, great service, great food. A San Dimas treasure. Make it a point to go here.

  • 5/5 naim y. 2 years ago on Google
    I love the city of San Dimas. It's places like the stubborn mule that shows you why San Dimas is so great. It's the people. And there's nothing better than eating great food with a bunch of San Dimas locals. It feels like home. Everybody happy on a Friday evening starting their weekend. Great food great drinks and awesome service. I don't know why it's been so long since I've been back but I think they will start to get sick of me now. Order some nachos and wings and don't forget to wash those down with a few pints. I'm pretty sure you'll meet lots of new friends there if you haven't already.

  • 2/5 Kissy P. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm sure the drinks and bartenders are great. We stopped in for a bite thinking they were a gastro pub. And their menu reflected that. Only we should have suspected when mayonnaise was the most common ingredient that we weren't in for the pub experience we hoped for. Fish and chips were appalling, soaked in oil and fully inedible. The greasy fries were also stale. The fish inside chewy. The burger had so much mayo, it was both on top and bottom of the burger. The veggies swam in it. The salad was a choppy affair that they made no effort to separate from the hot food and had the dressing made with the same hot mayo. Someone did eat half the burger, and the fries with the burger weren't swimming in oil and were okay. They were very nice inside but did forget our soda entirely. It was a warm and inviting bar inside so I gave it an extra star. I would not recommend this for dinner but if you're looking for a drink it seemed busy and fun. San dimas location*

    Horrible customer service the blonde girl working there, very rude doesn't help and took 30 minutes to pick up my bill and charge my card. If I could give this place a 0 stars I would.

  • 5/5 Dee W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service! Many people on the floor and all delightful! Food was wonderful. All makes up for more tvs than I lime, but great to have football to watch.

  • 5/5 Patrick T. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite place to stop and have a quick little cocktail and enjoy a good game with their many TVs and great ambiance!

  • 4/5 Brian S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little dive bar, with decent food and reasonable drink prices.

  • 5/5 Karen J. 11 months ago on Google
    Great happy hour!!!! Worth the drunk bartenders who pay attention to locals only. Watched the girl do shot after shot. But, whatever. That’s on her. My food was hot and priced right. Happy hour from 2-7!

  • 4/5 Rebekah V. 10 months ago on Google
    Fun place with lots to offer. And a full bar. We only had salads & appetizers to eat. Salads were good the egg rolls good. They were busy but friendly. I will go back again.

  • 5/5 Anna P. 1 year ago on Google
    2nd timer.....love it. Food, guys, atmosphere, guys, service, guys.....great place!! Fun clean friendly. Prices are reasonable.

  • 4/5 bryan h. 7 months ago on Google
    The wood and western decor is a wonderful atmosphere to pair with food and music. The steak chili was excellent, and it paired great with the short rib melt. The warm pretzels with cheese and mustard were great. The red and blond beers had a rich flavor and great taste. The staff was friendly and was responsive to questions. The desserts could use some love. The apple crisp had a high cinnamon content and was decent, but the churros were hard and difficult to enjoy. Overall, it was a great experience. I will be back, and I am looking forward to trying more options from the menu.

    Good place to eat. Customer service need to improve

  • 4/5 Elizabeth R. 9 months ago on Google
    It was a very busy Friday night. Many tables had large groups of people, however being the kind of place it is we expected more servers than there were. We had to flag down a server to put in our order, drinks then food. By the time we could add our food order we needed more drinks. We still love this place. Great food, great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Alisa V. 8 months ago on Google
    Cute little place to grab a quick drink or sit for a good meal. We ordered wings and salmon cesear salad. Both were good. The bartenders were on top of things and really nice.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey Birch (. 7 months ago on Google
    We love Stubborn Mule San Dimas and Glendora locations. The service is always great, even when the place is very busy. Dee Dee and Justine are two of the servers who are our favorites. We've watched "Moose" transition from a bus-boy/bar back to a full fledged server and bartender. Very encouraging. Denny, the manager is always attentive to both customers and employees helping out where he's needed. Excellent drinks, food and service. I highly recommend!

    First time there, great service, really nice people. Hope to go there again soon

  • 5/5 Shelby M. 3 years ago on Google
    I have to say, this place was pretty good. I got their nachos and they were massive. The beer selection was good, and the location was hidden. The inside was clean and the staff was helpful.

  • 5/5 Diane B. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is always excellent and the service is also very good

  • 2/5 Andrew B. 4 years ago on Google
    1/1 point for good service 1/1 point for the good atmosphere 0/3 points for food I personally ordered the loaded fries ( fries with random spots of cheese and burnt bacon). It should have cheese all over the fries with crispy bacon. However, the bacon was hard and looked like charcoal. The spinach and artichoke dip was terrible and I have no idea how to fix that. Chili burger which probably had the worst chili I’ve ever had, it was over salted, minimal meat, and had this odd flavor I couldn't figure out. The meat of the burger also had this old age taste from either improper storage or a poor supply. The food was all over salted, which is an understatement. The guests with me felt the same way. The main symptom here seems to be overzealous salt, a pinch is needed not a handful. Needless to say, I wouldn’t return. This is unfortunate because I did like the place itself but the food was awful.

    We like this place. Good food and people. The atmosphere and lots of TVs you can see. Try it

  • 5/5 Jack B. 4 years ago on Google
    I came here for a work social and had a blast. Happy Hour is from 2-7, which was awesome, and the drinks were good. They had all of the specific liquors we asked for and were able to make any of the drinks we wanted. Their house drinks are unique and recommendable, which is why they get 5 stars. The service was a little slow, but I was at a party of 15 so I can't fault them much. Would definitely recommend them to my friends!

  • 5/5 Kevin C. 4 years ago on Google
    Fun and friendly staff! Good food. Good beer. That checks all my boxes.

    Yesterday was our first time we came to that good restaurant. But It is obviously not the last. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the attentive service, with the first-rate cooking and fine drinks and with the comfortable cost. We will no doubt come back in a short time.

  • 5/5 Ehsan K. 3 years ago on Google
    Seriously... Years have gone by and this place has yet to disappoint in any regard. I have not ordered anything that I've had before every time I go in and every time I go in, I have something new that I call my favorite. Kudos to all staff and management for making a troubling time in today's world that much better for being the oasis we are all striving to find

  • 4/5 Marlene F. 4 years ago on Google
    Very fun .. been there with my co workers alot. Once a month but sometimes the waitress( same one always) acts like it's a burden to split checks and shes always all stressed out. She said there can only be 3 total checks because it's too busy with other customers when there are 9 of us. I understand it can get too compicated but when we split the checks it gets complicated as well!.some of us leave earlier than the others so it's not always convenient. Love the atmosphere but might switch our once a month get togethers somewhere else. Where we dont feel like the waitress is so bothered.
