Guardsman Lounge Bar • $
7850 Florence Ave, Downey

“If you need a tasty drink made with real alcohol and some really cold ice cubes, then the Guardy is your place. You may even stumble into a Guardy Party. Entering from the Guardy from the back is much different than heading in from the fron so choose wisely. Parking on both sides is awesome. Use promo code NIDIA.“

J C Tavern Bar • $
9106 Telegraph Rd, Downey

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting this fantastic establishment and I must say, they have the coldest beer in town! The service here is top-notch, with friendly staff who go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful experience. Not only that, but the drink prices are incredibly reasonable, making it even more enjoyable, "Try the Paloma". The atmosphere is clean and inviting, creating the perfect setting to sit back, relax, and enjoy your favorite beverage. There is plenty of parking available, making it hassle-free to visit. I highly recommend this spot to anyone in search of a refreshing, delightful time. Tell them Jammer sent you.“

Anarchy Library Bar • $
13250 Woodruff Ave, Downey

“The Anarchy Library has been on my list for a long time. It's one of those places that everyone says you should check out. I finally had a chance to go this past Friday. It was so much fun! The DJ played '80s, darkwave, new wave, rock en Español, and 2000s indie hits like "Deceptacon" by Le Tigre and "12:51" by The Strokes. Solid playlist. There is a $5 cash cover on Fridays and Saturdays. Bring cash! Import beers like Stella and Modelo are $6. Anarchy Library has a dive bar feel which I loved. I didn't think it was "dirty," I thought it was unique. It reminds me of the rocker divey bars in Austin, TX. Lots of rock and punk posters on the walls. The dancefloor is small, but it worked. The crowd was really vibing with each other. I would say the age range was about 21-45 or so. You won't feel too old or too young coming here which is amazing. That is a big reason for the 5 stars. This is one of the best crowds I've danced with in a long time. Even though we were strangers, we felt a connection with each other. That's good stuff. Dancing in the post "me too" movement hits different. None of the guys were aggressive or trying to hit on us. I felt they read the room and didn't try to talk to us unless we talked to them first. I could just enjoy catching up with my girlfriends without being bothered. I will be coming back often. I had a great time here!“

The Gold Room Special

“Haven't been to Gold Room in years, better than I remember it. Small dive bar off Sunset. Bartender Tony was friendly, attentive and quick to take our drink order. His cocktails were very very well made. He takes his time and you can tell enjoys the craft. Tried the Double Trouble and Pineapple Express. Double Trouble is absolutely delicious - 10/10. Pineapple Express was just as good, but def loaded (has mezcal & tequila). It'll have you feeling good real quick. Drink prices are reasonable priced for LA. Same for their daily happy hour menu. Very solid beer menu too. They have a jukebox you can pay to control the music which is kinda cool. Get to hear a variety of music genres cause of it. Solid bar for a quick beer or cocktail.“

Golde Brique Inn Bar • $
14942 Leffingwell Rd, La Mirada - 6.97 miles

“Cheapest drinks in town. Bartenders have been there for many years. They pour their drinks strong. Yeah it's a dive bar. But with pool tables, dart boards 3 big TVs and a jukebox. It has all the amenities of any other bar except the trendy yuppies and complainers, because they're too cool for a dive bar. It has good drinks. Good people. And good times. Take a trip to the gold brick and you'll be sad you hadn't tried this bar sooner. It has a very cheers kind of vibe.“

Hand Crafted Beer Cocktails
Beer & a Shot

“Ive been to many beer bars in my time and hands down this place i've never encountered such an attentive friendly bartender while surrounded by great patrons alike. Alley or I think her name may be Alicia. Literally the moment your beer is running low its instantly noticed. Her attention to customer needs is above and beyond what you'd expect at a bar like this. Go! You wont be disappointed. Note: I encourage you to challenge the bartender at a pool game. You'll win every, single, time :) Check the place out, it's totally worth going!“

Crow's Nest Cocktail Bar • $
1912 W Willow St, Long Beach - 10.58 miles

“"Shouldn't I realize (Shouldn't I realize)"-Maxwell High above the nesting place sits a lovely sign that reads: Crow's Nest Bar Cocktails.This bar was just on the edge of boogie glory when I strolled through. Everyone, & I mean, everyone in the bar was jamming & dancing. The pool players were two stepping, the bartender was twerking it out, and the people at the bar were on their feet swaying to the beats.The man supplying the rhythms this night was DJ Believethat. He mixed in all the late night heaters & floor fillers. I definitely remember the bar crowd switching on to full dance party mode when DJ Believethat dropped "Candy Rain." DJ Believethat even left the decks to share in the fancy footwork.I got around to having a beer. I must admit it tasted like a beer. It was cold. I found the beer added to the overall levity of the evening. Others were throwing down shots now & then. Anyone who sets foot in the Crow's Nest on a Thursday will definitely get lifted, but hey that's levitation, Holmes.“

The Echo Dive Bar • $$
1822 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles - 11.97 miles

“Decent venue, nothing fancy, but is affordable, sometimes you can snag a spot on the street near by, they have cool acts and events. I am surprised I never reviewed it since I have been going to the Echo for over 10 years for concerts, NYE parties and always had a good time. The crowd is OK, bathrooms clean enough, drinks are reasonably priced. I like their DJ-s and their sets, really fun and gets you on that dance floor. I prefer small venues like the Echo, more intimate, with more character, edgier! Keep your eyes on their Events calendar!“

Rush Cocktail Lounge Bar • $$
6146 Beach Blvd, Buena Park - 9.1 miles

“Service: came here on a Friday night after medieval times. There were only about 4 or 5 people there so the service was great. Food: NADrinks: the drinks were good, beer was cold and mixed drinks were poured right.Pricing: the pricing here is great. Cheaper than most dives bars that I have been to. Location (int./ext.): this place is located on the Main Street but the parking is in the rear. I don't think there is street parking - which is probably why not many ppl stop in since it's kinda dark from ours as well. Suggestion: is the sign up front said "bar" and "parking in rear" in a bright sign would probably get more people in - im assuming there aren't any of those signs since I didn't see any. But the inside is chill, they have a pool table and a juke box.“
