It's gone. There's no neighborhood left after the fires.

Great neighborhood hangout, as the name implies. Inside there’s a cool cocktail bar, but my favorite is the dog-friendly outdoor patio, a chill spot to hang out with your friends, dog, and - yes - neighbors.

Outside is a map showing the destruction of the Eaton fire. It’s sobering and sad, but I’m glad it’s here. Thank you.

(Patio) is a perfect place for parents to grab a drink while their kids play. Great burgers on a Saturday. Dog friendly

Cannot say enough good things about this neighborhood treasure-the first location to get a liquor license in Altadena since 1984, I think I heard? The cocktail menu is inventive and delicious. The servers and bartenders are always warm and a joy to spend time with.

Our group of neighbors on Olive Avenue, who lost their homes to the Eaton Fire, met on the patio for a lovely reunion. Patio was a great place to relax.

I recently visited Good Neighbor Bar and had a genuinely great time. The atmosphere is casual, stylish, and incredibly welcoming—true to its name, it really feels like a spot designed for the community.

I met up with a few friends from the neighborhood, and it turned out to be the perfect place to catch up. The vibe is laid-back and unpretentious, with just the right mix of buzz and comfort. It’s the kind of bar where conversations flow easily, whether you’re with old friends or making new ones at the bar.

I tried a French beer for the first time and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it—crisp, flavorful, and a nice departure from my usual go-to. The drinks were both affordable and thoughtfully selected, and the bartenders were knowledgeable without being overbearing.

What really stood out was the service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and created a welcoming vibe that made the whole evening feel easy and enjoyable.

If you’re in Altadena and looking for a spot that feels like home—where the drinks are good and the company even better—Good Neighbor Bar is definitely worth a visit.

Stopped by for happy hour and had a great time. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming—definitely lives up to the name. Drinks were both affordable and well-made. I tried a French beer for the first time and loved it, and the Old Fashioned was spot-on.

Service was excellent—friendly and helpful staff who made the experience even better. A solid neighborhood spot worth checking out.

Had an amazing time here catching up with a good friend after enjoying the Thursday night wine tasting next door. Loved the décor and ambiance. Very clean and minimal without being boring. They played good music all night, lots of oldies, funk and soul, which is right up my alley.

I was impressed by the exceptional service provided by Miguel behind the bar, who walked us through the menu and curated our experience. He is very obviously an professional of his craft. Thanks for showing us a good time, Miguel! We'll be back with more friends.

Love this place! The drinks are creative and delicious. Staff is incredibly friendly. They don’t serve food, but often a pop up or truck will be available. Visit this place!!

This is an excellent neighborhood bar. The nondescript exterior belies an atmospheric and comfortable space within. Bartenders are friendly. Drinks are well-made and elegantly presented. I don't believe there is a kitchen, but complementary popcorn is available. The parking lot is eponymously surrounded by a good-neighbor fence, and contains a moving memorial to the devastation of the Eaton Fire in the form of a map indicating lives lost and structures destroyed or damaged. Do give this place, and other businesses affected by the aftermath of the fire, your patronage.
