50 Best Bars near Arleta

“VIM'S is THE BEST Thai food that I've had in Los Angeles. I've been going to their various locations since 1987! I've even celebrated my birthday parties there. The food is cooked to order (spicy to mild) and served family style. I have taken hundreds of friends and co-workers to Vim's for lunch or dinner and it's always a hit! It's still cash only after all these years. The taste and quality of the food has remained consistent over the decades.“

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!“

“I highly recommend this Kava bar in Reseda. It's a very unique experience with really delicious kava drinks and shots. The staff is also very friendly and the bar is quite inviting. There aren't too many kava bars in LA and it's nice to see this new gem in the neighborhood. A nice place to chill, and relax at the end of the day with a good kava drink. Bula Vinaka 🤙“

“What a great find this place was, I have been looking for a genuine British place and this is it, so relaxing and friendly. A little bit of home. 🇬🇧“

“Love, love, love! This place has the cutest vibe and great stuff! The charcuterie boards are so good! I’ve tried the cold brew as well very good! This time we decided to get rosé. They have a great wine selection and their staff are so sweet! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“Really cool atmosphere. Love all the vegan options. Wish there were more pool tables but the space is pokey. Only disappointment was the ‘pretzel’ appetiser was just Pretzilla pretzel buns and some sauce…

Dietary restrictions: Almost everything can be made or is vegan.“

“Great with DJ music at Patio“

“The Rendition Room is hands down my favorite spot in LA. From the moment you step through the hidden bookshelf door, it’s like you’ve been transported back to the 1930s…intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of mystery. But what really makes this place shine is Richy. He’s not just a bartender; he’s a mixologist in every sense of the word. Every drink he makes feels like it’s been crafted just for you. Beyond that, Richy’s warmth and sincerity are what truly set him apart. You’re not just another customer to him…he makes you feel welcome, like an old friend, every time you stop by. The Rendition Room nails it when it comes to atmosphere, cocktails, and overall vibe. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want a cool night out, this is the place. It’s a hidden gem that never disappoints.“

“very chill place and lots of fun“

“It's a small dolphins bar. Glad we came, My boyfriend is a huge dolphins and heat fan. Everyone who came cheered on the dolphins and they won the game. Seats were filled and packed with dolphin fans! It was great. I found one seat at the bar and the owner Tony was really nice. Got me a beer right away and my friends came we enjoyed a pizza from Lucifers from down the st and enjoyed the night.

Parking: Parking is on the street. And you can find any spot nearby. It's not a far walk. Or behind the bar too..

“I hear their karaoke guy is amazing. Thirsty Thursday Karaoke!!! 8-11pm“

“Bring cash! Better yet a roll of quarters to play games, though they do have change machines if you forget. Decent variety of arcade games with some fun older pinball machines. Fun themed drinks. They have karaoke and trivia on different nights. Fun place for a goup.“

“I stopped here to watch the Dodgers World Series game 1. This is the local dive bar, the crowd was loud but the Dodgers had a walkoff home run so I was expecting some noise. Pool table was old school, only a quarter to play with a chalkboard of who’s next. I had a fun evening and the lady behind the bar bought me a beer, how often does that ever happen. A five star evening for me!“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“Love this NoHo hidden gem of a bar, very local and passer through friendly.

Parking is the biggest obstacle in the area as it's only street, but it's worth it. Great drinks, prices, places to sit, hang, and enjoy an afternoon or night.

The jukebox is digital and stacked with everything your heart could desire. Flat screens in the main bar area.

Huge spacious patio with picnic style tables or a few couches.

Water dispensers are usually available out here as well.

Pool table + indoor lounge area that is first come, first serve unless there's a party who has reserved this area.

Michelle is the coolest bartender. Very go with the flow.

Drink specials daily, typically on Whiskey.

Open every day of the week from 5pm to close.

Note: If their door is locked at or just after 5pm give it a knock. They might wait to open it if there's no one around for safety reasons.“

“I'm so excited you all are reopening This Wednesday! I have so many fun and fond memories of great afternoons into nights at the Barrel. Karaoke with the locals is always fun. congratulations see you all soon“

“We did not try the food, but the place looked clean and I would eat here. The bartender was fun and attentive. The DJ was having a great time and spinning a great mix of 80's, 90's and general good tunes. The clientele were nice and we had several conversations with guests. We will come back.“

“Most Definitely a good time and had been most supportive. I apologize if I was A BIT new at learning ... appreciate you guys! It's all at ONCE. All heavy on my mind and physically challenged. For Free States FFS- Mona Li5E LA dust2 and aztec2 ZE TE ETEZ“

“Always having a good time“

“Love Nineteen26… had a Staycation here a few years back and just fell in love with Arika! She’s an amazing Bartender, food is delicious (pizza and wings are my favorite)! Friendly atmosphere and we’ve met so many locals that have become family to us. She’s here on Thursdays and Fridays!“

“Stopped by the backdrop lounge while waiting for some friends and I just say your bartender was awesome !!! She not only is friendly and approachable she is very knowledgeable about the area. She recommended places to go dancing, watch comedy shows and made my waiting fly bye. Will definitely be coming back to be served the best chilled drinks by Olivia !!“

“Jessica made THE BEST Bloody Mary. We were in a rush but just wanted a quick drink. She got us in and out and I swear, that drink was life changing. It was a sign that my trip was gonna be fun and it was. Jessica was super friendly and knew how to manage everyone at the bar.“

“It’s a fun pub and the only place in wizarding world to get alcohol (mainly ciders, beers). And alcohol makes a theme park visit better. It’s a nicely themed pub attached to the three broomsticks. There’s is an animatronic hog’s head behind the counter

This review is only for the Hogs Head pub since I think food should be part of the three broomsticks.

If you don’t want alcohol you can get butter beer. I recommend trying the frozen or warm butter beer, you can even add a shot of fireball whiskey to it.

For drinks, they focus on their “themed” drinks which is some ales, ciders and stouts. Probably my favorite place to get a drink at USH for the atmosphere and venue

Tip: Look up their secret menu

Two I recommend:

The Triple (Deathly Hallows), which is a three layered drink of cider, hog’s head brew and topped with guinness. It’s the same price as the black and tan and other drinks

Hog’s tea - their strongest drink which is basically their take on a Long Island iced tea.“

“*Unexpected Gem - My New Go-To Spot!*

I'll admit, I didn't expect to fall in love with El Potro Bar. At first glance, I thought it might not be my vibe, but boy was I wrong! This hidden gem has become my regular haunt, and for good reason.

The real stars of the show are bartenders Alejandra and Raquel. They're two of the kindest, most attentive, skilled and attractive bartenders I've encountered in ages. Their warm smiles, quick wit, and expertly crafted drinks make every visit a delight.

Sure, the atmosphere might be laid-back and slow-paced, but that's exactly what I've grown to appreciate. No pretentiousness, just genuine hospitality and a cozy ambiance that makes me feel right at home.

Alejandra and Raquel know their stuff, always willing to offer recommendations or whip up something special. Their passion shines through in every pour, and it's infectious.

Don't let the slow pace fool you - El Potro Bar has become my favorite spot to unwind, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a perfectly chilled beer.

*Recommendations:* Come on Thursday and Ask Alejandra for a bucket of cold beers!

*Will I return?* Absolutely, and with friends in tow!“

“the only way i could ever be able is to get my own car to work for a month or so before the pandemic hit so that my parents can have the money for the trip to my house or something and then go back home to do my car and go back home to my mom would have a job to myself to get a job to pay my rent to my parents and i could have my car and i could afford to live there and have a job and i could be a millionaire for a year and i could get my own house but my mom and my parents are so much less money for the trip and my parents have no idea what it would be like to be in the future that would make my parents are my mom is so sad and my dad and i would never get to know my dad and dad is a very happy“

“Love the family treatment and my beers are always cold and tasty!“

“Alcohol always makes a theme park visit better

If you’re into rum based drinks, this is the bar you go to. It’s located in the lower lot and Lines can get pretty long, it’s one of the more popular places for drinks at USH.

Three drinks I recommend here:

Jurassic Water - If you’re looking for something strong, this is probably your drink. Mix of different alcohols and one of the few drinks that isn’t all sugar. It does sell out pretty often so I’d get this one early in the day

Birds of Paradise - fruity flavors and refreshing. Not too strong but a good refreshing/tropical drink.

Isla Nublar IPA - It’s a USH “exclusive” (you can look up the brewery) a good beer. It’s more citrus fruit forward and less hoppy for an IPA. Flavorful and refreshing. For about $19 (Latge size) you get a take home souvenir “glass”

Generally the bar you go to for refreshing and fruity drinks at USH“

“We enjoyed the drinks as well as the food and the ambience 👍🏽😎“

“A Good Place To Dance For A While And Chat Friendlyly In A Good Atmosphere Due To The Covid Pandemic, 19 Has Been Closed At Least Since Friday They Already Done It! Open.? Some of you or the bar can see what has already been written and send me a text.“

“I can't overstate how immaculate the vibes are. Its cash only and you'll want to learn some Spanish but you better bet that you're going to leave with at LEAST five new friends by the end of the night. Wonderful service, wonderful folks, GREAT music.“

“Had such a great time last night , great bartenders , loved my drinks and Jell-O shots ... u can actually taste the alcohol not like other bars .... I recommend this place , they made me feel welcomed“

“Amazing food! Made to order, clean and beautiful dining area, excellent customer service. Tacos Al pastor, tacos de chicharrón, gorditas Xochipilli, chilaquiles, a few of my favorites. The best spot in the valley for authentic Mexican food.“

“The beer is overpriced and mediocre which is exactly what I would expect at a theme park.

The bartenders are very strict on ID and ensuring 1 drink per ID which is mildly annoying but I understand the policy in a general sense.

The bartender was friendly, but just unbelievably slow at preparing a drink, I ordered a draught beer which including payment should have taken seconds after he confirmed my age, not minutes.

Still please I got to have a Duff at Moe's.“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“Definitely a go to place for comfort food! It was my first time to go here with my girlfriends and their happy hour is worth it! Since then I kept coming back or order delivery. My favorite is the gyro combo with some sweet potato waffle fries. Don't forget the garlic aoli sauce (thank me later ;D)“

“My Family And I , Really Enjoyed, Pablo, Gave Us A Great Experience!!!! Will Be Back!!! Love It, And Great Food!!!“

“Great place to network! Perfect local Go to place after work or meet new business links and more.“

“Yummy always. Great service and food“
