Walnut Creek locals have been flocking to this unpretentious dive bar for generations, and for good reason. Artie’s Countrywood Lounge is an institution. There’s nothing hip about Artie's. The crowd is a diverse mix of old-timers and young Turks looking for a place to drink, talk, and play without having to impress anyone. The most important ingredient in a successful dive is the drinks, and at Artie’s they make them cheap and strong – the bartenders don’t skimp on the pours here. Once you’ve got a few in you, there’s plenty to do here, with three well-maintained pool tables, dart boards, and even a few retro video games to test your skill. The jukebox is great, packed with country and rock classics, and there’s always an interesting conversation or two happening around the bar. There’s plenty of parking in the lot, and if you’re staggering home on foot a nearby donut shop offers the perfect sweet treat to end your night at Artie's Countrywood Lounge
