  The night bartender, Cherien, is a nightmare. She's never in a good mood, couldn't be ruder to guests. She's the owner's ungrateful daughter though and I guess nepotism goes far at Tumbleweeds?  She over serves and then blames the customer for being drunk. I once saw her tip-shame a blind guy. Last time I was there I had a $60 bar tab. I left 80 bucks, more than a 30% tip. She has never once said "thank you" or even smiled, she just glares as though she's owed the tip for her icy and slow service.
  
  "DJ MC Squared" (I think his name's Don?) of Sin.dicate, who is the night karaoke guy, keeps a curtain on stage that he dips behind to get high on methamphetamine and other drugs when he thinks no one's looking. He brags of a million song library but plays the same dozen songs over and over again. Gerald, Sin.dicate's manager, can generally be found on site, drunk and disorderly, causing problems for staff and guests alike.
  
  The owner, Frank, sits in the corner every night judging the crowd but not his staff. There is nothing more discerning than a property owner that things the customer is never right and his family/staff can do no wrong. Cops are called here constantly because management has no idea how to manage.
  
  The decor is mismatched and covered in inches of dust dating back to the seventies. The evening crowd rarely exceeds a small handful of dreary regulars, most of whom are down-on-their-luck and looking for a free drink to escape the tragedies that are their lives. Elderly, heavy-set regulars get sloshed and slither around the dance floor. This is encouraged by the elderly DJ.
  
  I sang one song there, once. The microphone the Sun-Tues night KJ handed me reeked of halitosis. I couldn't get through the song, I was worried about what I may catch from the equipment. When I gave the mic back I pointed out that it did not smell clean. He laughed, said he knew about it but the bar didn't pay him enough for dental insurance???? Get a day job, dude. That's just nasty.
  
  Drinks are over-priced and watered down. Most of the food isn't terrible and the door guy's nice. Weird, but nice.
  
  Bottom line, if you don't already have hepatitis you might want to avoid this place. There are too many great bars in HB to do this to yourself.

  Loved this place. There were a few fancier and trendy places all around (with big waits) but we really just wanted a place to have a drink and some wings and lunch and this place really exceeded my expectations.
  
  We started off with the wings which were fantastic. They were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside with just the right amount of heat in temperature and spice. I would probably order those again the next time I come by.  I forgot to take a pic of those cuz they were so good we ate them in a flash!
  
  My boyfriend ordered the chili cheeseburger which was YUGE, tasty and had a big serving of fries to go with it.  I ordered the fish'n chips which were the best I've had in a long time. The pieces of fish were really big and were cooked perfectly crispy and not overdone (I hate when places over cook fish - this was cooked perfectly!). She gave us malt vinegar to go with it and the tarter sauce was excellent. And just like the chili cheeseburger, it came with a big serving of fries.
  
  For drinks we had two IPAs and some waters. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, sorry we forgot to get your name but she was the blonde server who also worked behind the bar. She was super busy but was able to get us whatever we needed in a timely manner with a smile.   We will be back soon!

  Outside of having a fun dive bar atmosphere, Tumbleweeds serves some discussing food. The health department would have a field day if they stepped foot into the place. The price for drinks changes depending upon the waitress which is odd. You can get a beer with an ocean view in a very clean bar at Pacific City for the same or less money.
  ----Be Warned! The owners daughter is a scam artist. She double charged us for drinks and put a spin on the entire scenerio like we were crazy. My point... Why support a dirty rundown shit hole that serves discusting food and rips you off on drinks.  No thanks- there are some great local people in HB that run good businesses and care about their clientele.  I support them instead. Food for thought to the owner.  Do something about your rip off artist daughter... she's a thief. ..

  I love this dive bar! All my friends hate it and get mad and want to go to the Bungalow. Sometimes I just want to chill with normal everyday people and not douchebags bragging about their Ferrari. They automatically get me a new beer before I ask, and I really appreciate that kind of service. And lastly, their food is to die for!!! Everything I've eaten there is good. They run a great lil dive bar, and it's right around the corner from where I live, so easy access!!
