Bars near El Monte

“I am not a big fan of mariscos. This is one of the best mariscos spots I actually enjoy. I highly recommend the shrimp and fish tacos, the camarones dinamitas, camarones de cucarachas, Coctel de Camaron, the aguachiles is actually one of the best sauces I've actually tasted, not to mention there other Mexican dishes they have on the menu. I also rented the hall for events and the menu for their catering services are good as well and the hostility from dining in and renting the hall has been phenomenal. Anyone wanting to eat good mariscos I highly recommend this place“

“Apologies for not taking any photos but trust me when I say that the owner really cares about the dishes he puts out. As a sushi chef, he is a kind man who cares about the opinions of his customers. My sister and I decided to try the place out and we're pleasantly surprised by the kindness and the taste of the food.As for food, we ordered some sushi rolls, sashimi, and sashimi salad. The salad was my sister's favorite dish since the veggies paired well with the fatty taste of the fish. So fresh and lovely. A good balance of fish to salad. The dressing is what made it amazing for me. Gently drizzled with a sweet yet salty flavor made the dish really come together. As sushi goers we typically aren't fond of sashimi, usually when we go to sushi places, it has an odd aftertaste. But not this time. The sweet sauce made the tender fish melt into my mouth! I couldn't get enough of it. (I just kept eating and forgot to take pictures!) The sushi rolls were also delicious! Just enough to make you full and want to come back for more.What was best about this place really was the owner speaking with us. Initially when we walked in, there was no one to greet us and hardly anyone inside. So we thought the restaurant was closed. Although we saw an employee there so luckily we were able to be seated. After eating, the chef/owner came up to us to ask us a couple questions about the food and our experiences with Japanese dishes. We had a long discussion and ended up with more than just a happy meal, but with a good experience.The reason for this being 4 stars is because we did have to search for a host to seat us. And the selection menu didn't differentiate than many other sushi places. We did talk with the owner and gave him some ideas of how this could change so more clientele would stop by.(Also the name of this restaurant has changed. They only serve sushi and sashimi now, there's no BBQ anymore)“

“I like going to the tanampa. Becouse its never that jam pack i lik to shoot pool there everone that there minds there own bissiness doing there own thing at the bar .wieghters treat you with respect . noone disrespect you unless hou dont show respect for your self .“

“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.“

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

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“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“

“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent“

“Good enough for Richard Pryor, good enough for me!“

“Came hungry, came thirsty, and came in need of a good spot to let my creativity flow. This is it. This place has it all. The ambiance gets you set to sit, relax, and unwind. The drinks are on point, delicious and well served. The service and welcoming environment is just the beginning. Food is gourmet, lighting is perfect, service is amazing, and the rest; well, come and find out for yourself. Great experience. I'll definitely be a returning visitor.“

“Their Old Fashion is delicious and paper plane as well. I love that it isn't extremely loud and the music is a great mix that always compliments the ambiance. You need a password to get in, but that shouldn't be a problem. Screw Flanders.“

“Great place to come and hangout.“

“Very cool dive bar with good value pricing on food and drink!“

“Cool place to hang in Old Town Pasadena. Live music and a chill atmosphere.“

“Love neighborhood bars, and this one was no exception. I did not rate the food because we didn’t eat and I’m not sure if they have food or not. The drinks were great, the bar is lively and there was a DJ. Super fun vibes and great crowd. Reminds me of the pre Covid days. Everyone was friendly and talkative, buying drinks for each other with no drama. I went here on a whim with my friend after the Beyond the Grave pop up bar. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but places like this are my favorite. I will definitely be back! The bartender made a perfect Midori sour, which is actually one of those cocktails that seems easy to make, but can be easily unbalanced. Definitely some pool sharks which made for a good viewing“

“The is my favorite place in Uptown the beer is always amazing but most of all it's the staff. Jess, Lee, Chantel and especially Amber always make my experience exceptional. Whittier wouldn't be the same without this crew. Cheers!“

“Good selection of beer. Tasty food and excellent service.“

“We have dined here a couple of times when we come back to visit family. We are never disappointed. The food is quite good. Portions are on the larger size, so expect to have leftovers to bring home (or just go nuts and indulge).

However, the dinning room is comparatively small and not intimate. That isn't that big of a deal, but you should be aware of it going in. I would recommend a reservation if dining later in the evening. If you arrive earlier, they can usually seat you.

Parking is on the street (but that is par for the course in Sierra Madre), but be prepared to have to drive around a little to find a spot.

The only negative was on our last visit. The front of house was clearly understaffed. The one waiter was doing double duty as the bar tender. So, speed of service was not on the menu.

A solid choice for dining and will we will undoubtedly visit again.“

“ITS A REALLY COOL, CHILL SPOT TO HAVE A FEW BEERS AT. THE BARTENDER LADY IS THE BEST. SHE IS ON TOP OF WHATEVER IT IS THAT SHE HAS TO DO. MY BROTHER AND WILL GO EVERY OTHER WEEK. WE'LL HAVE A FEW BEERS AND PLAY ON THEIR DART MACHINES. IT'S A REALLY GREAT ENVIRONMENT IN THERE ALL THE TIME. ITS NOT TOO SPACIOUS, BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP IT FROM BEING A RELAXING SPOT TO GO CHILL WITH YOUR PEOPLE. I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE. WELL NOT EVERYONE, ONLY 21 YRS AND OLD“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“Had the Texas prime beef brisket sandwich. I’m from Texas and tastes like home. Definitely check this place out. Will be coming back for sure!!!“

“Traditional Taiwanese dishes served in a banquet setting. That’s a first - I have only seen Taiwanese food served in casual restaurants and cafes.

Menu is expansive and every dish we ordered tasted authentic. Best stinky tofu I’ve had outside of Taiwan.“

“My husband and I went there tonight, for Valentine's Day. We had the Steak/Salmon special. This ribeye was the BEST steak I've had in my life. So tender and so tasty!!! The salmon was wonderful, so delicious! I totally recommend their food. Yes, their prices are high, but you're getting the best food possible. And, really, on a special occasion, it's worth it to enjoy delicious food and great service!! Thank you, Verdugos, for a great Valentine's dinner!! We pray you are the most successful restaurant in Downey!“

“Nice spot, service very friendly, they jam on good music I got me a double up fruit cup it was so good you gotta try it“

“Incredible Chef The options when dining incredible Super Duper Service And if you ask nicely they will make something not on the menu… have visited 6 times“

“Altadena Ale & Wine House is easily one of the best spots in Altadena. The staff know their wine inside and out and love helping you discover something new. They’re welcoming, laid-back, and create an atmosphere that feels more like hanging out with friends than just grabbing a drink. With a great wine list, solid beer and food selection, and a classic old-school vibe, this place is a must-stop. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Thursday Nights !! A+ Bartender Rosie goes above and beyond . I’m not only if she friendly and acknowledges any and every person who walks in she’s not like other bartenders I’ve seen other establishments who are on their phone more than they are working. She brings in a collective of different patrons all friendly Never once not felt safe when I am there It’s a shame the other Bartenders at this places sister establishment in Covina were as well Trained as Rosie. Or even new had to make a drink Tina’s Tavern Thursdays Hands down the place to be“

“Fun, Friendly and Easy Going Crowd!!!!“

“Our server made our experience beyond excellent. We sat in one of their gorgeous patios and were treated to exquisite service and excellent homemade treats and delicious brunch choices. Everything was delicious and a great place to catch up with family, no one rushed us. We will be back!“

“My friends and I decided to make this our first afternoon tea experience. This is a beautiful hotel. We loved everything about it. Easy to find the hotel and valet. I didn't see any signs to the Lobby Lounge (first time there), so I asked the concierge. They don't seat you until your whole party arrives. The menu is explained, which is great. They make the scones, sandwiches and deserts for everyone, so you share the experience of what you are eating. I wasn't a fan of the scones, but I was a fan of the lemon curd topping made available :). My favorite was the salmon sandwich. The deserts were cute, but not good, IMHO. I was disappointed with the price. I called beforehand asking about the price. Was told $100. This is correct, but they don't tell you about taxes, 20% service charge, then the tip. It's probably on the website, but that is why I call. I'd rather talk to someone. It turned out to be $160 pp (this included tip). They did tell me about valet being partially validated = $18, plus tip. So this afternoon tea is actually about $200 pp. I would definitely recommend trying this, just know going in how much it will cost. This is more of a one time experience for us :)“

“Perfect to have a good time with family and friends.“

“It’s a safe and enjoyable place to relax and have a great time.“

Karaoke every night with no entrance fee. The owner, an excellent person who invites you to drink and enjoy a good party. Visit them and check it out.“

“Comedy night is a blast on Sundays. I’ve been here twice now and I think it’s a great little club/bar“

“lemme tell ya 'bout Kelly's Tavern. Shiiiit, them drinks was cold, that Bloody Mary was fire, and dem bartenders? Lawd have mercy, they was fine as hell.
I went in for a lil' somethin' somethin', and lemme tell ya, I almost forgot why I came in the first place. I was too busy watchin' them mix dem drinks. It was like a magic show, but instead of rabbits, they were pullin' out these incredible cocktails.
Let's just say I left there feelin' good, both inside and out.“

“Great Place With A Complimenting Bartender Who Knows What He's Doing And Communicative. The Atmosphere Is Perfect With So Many Different Types Of People Who Go Here And All Are Very Friendly And Vibrant.

Good Sitting Areas But It Could Get Crowded Quick. Also Has A Jukebox & 2 Pool tables. This Is A Very Warming Cozy Chill Spot.“

“This place is somewhat outdated, however even with that being said, it's a nice atmosphere. Our waitress Sylvia was extremely attentive. She always had a smile! We never had to wait very long for our drinks or dinner. Bathrooms were very clean?

We came here for karaoke and dinner. A fun time was had!!?“

“Cool dive bar hidden away from the trendy beaten path. Cheapest drinks in town. Strongest drinks in town. Don’t believe me, try it out. You’ll have found your new watering hole! 3 big TVs 2 diamond pool tables 2 dart boards. Open 365 7a-2a every day!

Wheelchair accessibility: They are wheelchair accessible. Has a lowered section of the bar just for handicapped. Bathrooms are also wheelchair accessible. I spent 8 months in a wheelchair and was accommodated excellently“

“I dont know what you are looking for when you get the cheapest beers in town and the least expensive billiards game at the same time....but just in case those were the two things you sought out tonight....this would be the place. People come and go and the regulars are awesome welcoming and understanding. What else can I say about a place????“

“Food is delicious great staff“
