50 Best Bars near Cudahy

“Went in last night for New year's, been living in the neighborhood for 16 years and went in for the first time and had a good time. I'm sure not every night is like new year's (2017-2018). Great people, good prices. The music was good. They have English and Spanish music at the juke box. Very chill place can be low key if you wanted to be alone. And plenty of parking. Restroom were clean I was very surprised. I'll be coming back.“

“I don’t know how ‘hidden’ of a gem this is - but it is a gem. Such a unique place seeing as the only other one in the world is in London. Food is stellar and there are both British and American options on the menu. The display of motorcycles creates a fun atmosphere. There is a shop, barber, tattoo parlour, and display room for motorcycles as well as many other places to hang out here. Must visit if you are an auto or motorcycle enthusiast while in LA“

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“Super cute spot with tasty food and a karaoke bar upstairs. The inside is a lot nicer which surprised me cause of the neighborhood but definitely enjoyed it. The mentaiko pasta was delicious along with the salmon crispy rice. The curry crispy rice was very spicy.“

“La Fe’s On’ry menu is one of the most exciting dining experiences we had lately. It’s the kind of spot where every dish feels intentional ... bold flavors, thoughtful textures, and a touch of surprise. If you’re someone who likes to explore beyond the usual, this is absolutely the menu to go for.

What We Ordered & Loved:

Bread Service
Don’t skip this. The cultured butter comes whipped into silky ribbons, sprinkled with smoked salt, and served with warm bread. It looks simple but the flavor is next-level. The butter is so good you’ll probably want to finish every last smear. The chef made a mango jam and it goes so well!

Deviled Blue Crabs
One of the most eye-catching presentations of the night....served inside actual crab shells over rock salt. The filling is smoky, savory, and layered with richness from the tomato butter and a lift of Meyer lemon. It’s indulgent but balanced, and definitely a conversation starter at the table.

Kanpachi Crudo
This was one of my personal favorites. Fresh kanpachi paired with radish, cucumber, mushrooms, and a touch of chili heat. The bee pollen kosho and chamomile oil give it a delicate, floral note that makes it stand out from the usual crudos. Bright, clean, and perfect to share.

Tea Leaf Salad
Easily the most surprising dish. It comes loaded with herbs, crunchy shallots, toasted nuts, tomatoes, and romaine. Every bite is different.. crunchy, tangy, fresh, with that slight umami depth from the tea leaves. If you like texture, this is the dish to order.

Mussel and Potato
A heartier plate that’s still elegant. Mussels in a silky sake lees broth, paired with tiny potatoes that soak up all the flavor. The broth itself is so good you’ll want bread on the side just to scoop it all up.

Cherries and Cream
Dessert here is not an afterthought. What looks rustic turns out to be layered and complex — cherries with cream, brown butter crumble, hibiscus, and even fresh herbs to cut through the sweetness. It’s creamy, crunchy, tart, and fresh all at once. A perfect ending.

A final thoughts....

Service is warm and unpretentious — the staff clearly knows the menu well and seems genuinely excited to walk you through it. Dishes come out thoughtfully paced, and the presentation strikes that perfect middle ground between rustic and refined.

Insider Tips

Start with the bread service — it sets the tone and the butter is unforgettable.

The deviled blue crabs are a must if you want something show-stopping.

Save room for dessert — the cherries and cream will surprise you in the best way.

Portions are made for sharing — come with at least 2–3 people so you can try more plates.

Don’t overlook the tea leaf salad — it’s easily one of the most unique and refreshing dishes ...

Also the menu changes so its an adventure...“

“My favorite place to hang in LA. The staff is super sweet, the food is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, particularly the Ginger Margarita, the atmosphere is gorgeous—whether you’re inside the stunning deco bar or outside on the beautiful patio. It’s a true gem.“

“Great beer, great outdoor vibe with music on the weekend.“

“This is one of those places where when no one knows what to do, come here. It never dissappoints. Came here late friday, had delicious drink that, although served in one of those fashionable tiny glasses, actually took me 30+ min to drink because it was hot and spicy in the best way-you actually HAD to sip it. Thank you, Wolves, for finally giving me a tiny glass cocktail I felt was worth the money. Oh, and what everyone else says about the ambiance-awesome-and you don't feel clausterphobic, even if it is busy because of the high ceilings.“

“I've been there once and it was fine last time. The cocktails were quick and the atmosphere was good. Overall, it was pretty good“

“Great qualities of meat selection and a bunch of other types of excellent qualities of food. Definitely a place to go to celebrate and for special occasions. The beef, especially the galbi, the shrimp, takoyaki, and everything is fantastic. We can grab most of the food and the premium food came out very fast. Will definitely come back.“

“Such a vibe! Had an amazing experience. Highly recommend.“

“Unique & Friendly, for motorcycle lovers“

“I've searched for months to find a place like this. Absolutely amazing vibes here. Beautiful interior and comfy seating. Unique music and chill atmosphere. Food was SOOO good, but they don't have ranch 😫. Either way... my new favorite spot in LA!!“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“🙂👍 Great food and delightful people!“

“This was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised with everything! Their food was so good! I had the Buffalo Chicken Sliders and Southwest Chili. The chili was a bit saltier than I would have liked but it still worked. It came with a slice of corn bread and even that was amazing! 🤤

The bartenders were super nice and attentive, the decor is cool and the vibe was perfect. They have a patio in the back where you can play pool and board games. However, there's no music back there to respect the residents in the neighbourhood.

I will definitely come back to try out their other dishes!“

“A great place to be in Los Angeles‼️“

“Come drink here and enjoy yourself“

“Beautiful bar. Modern with a home feel. The ambiance is very chill. Large and wide open window on one side gives you a good view of Sunset Blvd. opposite is the patio that has the food. You can order via a QR code and get a text when your food is ready. Drink menu is great! Bartenders are friendly.“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“Breakfast menu from 9am to 1pm!
However, there will be no coffee after 13:00 :((
I couldn't get a second drink because it was just before 1pm. However, it was a restaurant where you could relax and relax before the game at Dodger Stadium (^^)“

“Spitz in Los Feliz never disappoints! The street cart doner wrap is my go-to—packed with flavor and always hits the spot. The staff is quick and friendly, and the vibe inside is fun and casual. Perfect spot for a laid-back lunch or dinner. Bonus points for the sweet potato waffle fries—addictive! Great spot for Mediterranean street food done right.“

“Wow. This is a hidden gem in DTLA. Highly recommend unless you're a jerk. Ha. Great drinks, great food and amazing service. Felt like I was just hanging with old friends having a very enjoyable evening. This is gonna be my go-to spot anytime I am hanging downtown.“

“I love this place and they also have Suntory Premium The Malts on tap!! I’m a little sad though because the menu says the ramen comes with an onsen egg but it’s just a standard ajitama. I love onsen eggs and was so excited only to be let down :( happened twice.“

“Great place for a late night hangout with friends. Love music!“

“It's a great place to enjoy great people.“

“Amazing decor, killer bands, great staff… When I come down from Vegas, SS is a must stop.“

“So yummy it was best food I have had I like it a lot and they are open late which is rlly good for me since I am a late night owl and I stay up later especially when there’s delicious Thai Food from Sticky Rice which is always a huge plus for me when it is late and I am hungry which is not now but could be later.“

“I came to work from here on a Friday afternoon and enjoy happy hour. $2 off wine, $9 for house wine, and $6 for beer. The wines were refreshing and the atmosphere was a great vibe.

There was free WiFi and plenty of seating. And it's about a 10 minute walk from the metro.“

“pinball and atmosphere. if your friends even want to judge then they aren't your friends 😆#puropari“

“Bartenders, Ollie & Calixto are the best!!!’“

“Good 👍 I’m so happy very much.“

“Best bar in Hi Fi Perhaps the world.“

“Excellent in all ways if DELICIOUS food and a cocktail is your pleasure...one of them anyway. SENSIBLE 💡 Don Miguel IS the master atmosphere creator.. SALUD 🥃🙏🏽🌹“

“NIKU X delivers an impressive seafood & A5 wagyu steak buffet. The quality of the meats and seafood is top notch. The wagyu is tender and rich, and the seafood bar has good variety. The decor is stylish and the service attentive.

A few drawbacks: some items are a bit slow to be replenished, and the price is steep but for a special occasion it’s worth it.“

“This place rules. Cheese plate was unique and delicious — fed three of us. Charming glasses suited to each type of beverage. Big variety of drinks. The blue walls, the radio, the tiny miniature desert scene under the window?!! The vibes are immaculate.“

“This place is a haven for ALL of geekdom. As a fan of the show, Fatman Beyond, we HAD to visit the Scum and Villainy Cantina during our SoCal vacation. It was even better than we imagined! It was smaller than expected, but what it lacked in size, it made up for with ambience. It was obvious how much heart went into it's creation. You could see J.C. Reifenberg's passion for sci-fi/fantasy in the decor. In addition, the staff was so incredibly friendly, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The menu was creative and the food/drinks were delicious. To top it all off, Bamf Man, himself, came to our table and talked to us while we were there! Incredible experience! (Tell Jen we're sorry we kept you away from your work that night ?) - THE IOWA FAMILY ?“

“The Library Bar is the perfect drink spot in DTLA. They have some small bites (the chips and French Onion Dip were 10/10 no notes). And they make craft cocktails as well as any classics. I believe they may have music on the weekends but either way if you’re in the area it’s a solid place to grab a drink and hang out.“

“The atmosphere is very good, it feels very domestic, and the band performance is also very exciting. The price of bartending is not expensive. I ordered a lot of food. My favorites were the mutton skewers and duck neck, which were delicious. Suitable for chatting and drinking with friends“

“Overall good and front desk was awesome. There a pool party on Sunday we were not prepared for. That notice should be shared in multiple ways. We had an negative experience with one of the wait staff at the restaurant. Knowledgeable, efficient snd did't care if we were there. Bartender was also standoffish and ignored requests for cocktails. The lower lever bartender stepped up at one point and he was awesome.“

“This is a great, chill spot to come with a casual date or a group of friends. FANTASTIC cocktails. Don't sleep on the Happy Monday cocktail, it's unique and very yummy. We ended up coming here 3 nights in a row while staying at the W. It was the perfect spot for a chill nightcap with great music playing every night.“

“Crazy space. The Slipper Clutch doesn't have any outdoor signage, the bar exists behind another space that you walk through to get to it. You can sort of see the interior sign from the street if you look. The guy bouncing the place next door seemed really used to answering the question of Where is the slipper clutch!
Inside there are like three or four bar areas with totally different vibes. The first area is more high class, fancy night bar. Through the door is another bar that's more punk rock, has arcade games and pool tables. It's kinda small but decent. They have a back patio too. The patio door was open all night so the place smelled of smoke from the outdoor smokers. If you keep going and go upstairs, you'll find the venue area with yet another bar. The music up there stays loud as heck so it kind of always sounds like a band is playing even when it's just the interstitial music. For the show I went to, bands didn't start playing until almost an hour and a half after the listed time, so definitely don't come early if you're just coming to rock. Tickets were cash only at the door, but it was only $7 - prices we ain't seen in decades! The music space itself is pretty decent, the stage is kinda small but it gets the job done. The room is pretty spacious and there was plenty of room for a bunch of people but also room to get away from the wild ones if you needed. There's also a very tiny upstairs patio (more like a ledge) but good to get some air. Pretty decent overall experience. I don't think they had food there but I didn't really look. Didn't see anybody eating anything tho! There are only two tables, outside on the patio. Otherwise it's bar or standing. Definitely not wheelchair accessible.“

“Bring proof of vax family“

“Nice place ro drink and have fun“

“Favorite place to hang out when visiting LA. The vegan food menu is amazing and on par with their selection of craft beers. The staff is exceptionally friendly. Always feel at home and comfortable when I am there.“

“Great lunch spot, big menu, many options. Full bar. Food is decent. Love the Fish and Chips, and the French Onion soup. The onion rings are really good. Turkey sandwich, tuna sandwich, both simple but good. Jukebox is nice.
Street meter parking or over-priced garage parking, be sure to get validated for a very small discount.“

“First time here my family like it especially unlimited brisket“

“I’ve been to Zizou five times in just two months, and I absolutely love it. Walking in feels like coming home, like being on the docks in the south of France, maybe Marseille. Maati and Boris, the founders, have created a space that feels like an oasis.

Their partnership is the perfect blend: Maati, an architect by training, and Boris, a sommelier and sound designer, met in Lyon, France, during their youth. Together, they’ve designed and built everything inside and out, blending Moroccan and French influences to create an incredible atmosphere.

The food is fantastic, everything from the Moroccan salad to the mussels marinières is delicious. Their menu beautifully fuses North African and French flavors. Plus, they offer great wines, including a Sicilian white in a 1-liter bottle that’s mineral and incredible.

Music plays a big role here too, adding to the vibrant, relaxed vibe. Maati and Boris really care about the community, hosting events and creating a space where you don’t feel rushed.

All this comes at very reasonable prices, making Zizou a must-visit in LA. It’s a fantastic spot, and I never get tired of going back.

Merci pour le voyage!“

“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.“
