One bartender who is super nice but slow. If he had help they could be making more money. The band was fun, they played a lot of favorites. The place got pretty crowded but a real nice diverse group of people. Great dive bar!

First Cabin Bar is a great vibe drinking spot with the added attraction of outstanding live music hangout primarily due to the musical talent of Patrick O'Brien and the Priests of Love. The band's mix of music while primarily focused on rock, also includes swing, instrumentals, blues, original music, classic rock and roll, and almost any other genre you could request via the Tip basket . Patrick weaves seamlessly through a fine offering of diverse music styles which highlight his triple threat skills of guitar, vocals and harmonica. You would be hard pressed to find a more talented showman and multi instrumentalist than at this establishment on the first hundred block of Huntington Drive just east of Santa Anita Avenue in the heart of Arcadia CA. Treat yourself to a visit soon.

Now this is the best dive bar in SGV!! I went to see Pat O'brien and the Love Priests (Sat 9pm) and those old dudes could ROCK for sure! I came here 4 years ago looking for jazz music and that was when I went to another venue on the same street but wasn't satisfied, so I heard more music once I walked down. One point I was afraid for those old guys might not survive the Covid, but They Are Back for good!🤩👍 The bartenders are all very friendly with good pours and the price is good. They don't do fancy beers and they don't have beer taps, so just bottles and regular red and white wines. But I want to say I saw all sorts of age groups came here everytime so that is always a good sign. That being said, you will have a good time over there, too.

Thai is a bar, no food options, other than prepackaged snacks. They allow you to bring your own food in with you.

Sammi at First Cabin was absolutely fantastic. She was running the bar by herself for most of the time we were there before the bar back arrived, and despite how busy it was, she completely had it under control. She was attentive to everyone, making drinks quickly, cashing people out efficiently, and constantly keeping track of what was going on around her without missing a beat. You could tell she really knows her regulars — people knew her, she knew their drinks, and she made the whole place feel welcoming and personal. Beyond being efficient, she was engaging, friendly, and genuinely sweet. The level of customer service she provided honestly stood out far above what you usually see these days. Sammi brings such a fun, positive energy to the bar and creates an atmosphere that makes people want to come back. She’s a huge asset to First Cabin and clearly one of the reasons people enjoy being there so much.
