“Wonderful place Great drinks and food“

“This place is incredible, highly recommend! Amazing drinks, atmosphere and people! Kava is an excellent alternative to alcohol and I loved the Green Goblin drink which is a combination of Kava and Kratom. You can't find anything like it anywhere else! Check it out and enjoy!“

“We visited the restaurant for their brunch buffet and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food was good and delicious — everything was fresh and well-prepared. However, we felt the menu leaned more toward the classic side and didn't offer anything particularly unique or standout. It was satisfying, just not especially memorable in terms of creativity or variety. The ambience was lovely — comfortable, stylish, and welcoming — a great setting for a relaxed weekend brunch. The service was good as well; the staff were courteous and attentive. That said, drink service was a bit on the slower side that day, but it didn't take away too much from the overall experience. If you're looking for a solid brunch option with a pleasant atmosphere and reliable food, this is a good choice. We'd consider returning, especially for a laid-back group outing or family get-together.“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“Please give George - who I renamed GMoney - a raise! In all seriousness, he made me (a California newbie) feel so welcome and happy while I was out here visiting my daughter... beyond words. He was amazing and nothing like the East Coast bartenders I’ve been used to! A wonderful night was had because of him!“

“Good vibes, amazing drinks, awesome music, and top-notch service, what more could you ask for?“

“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.“

“In Culver city ..Chill Vibes..Great Date Night Venue“

“The Cinema Bar is everything you want in a local spot — laid-back vibes, strong drinks, live music that actually slaps, and a crowd that feels like instant friends. It’s got that old-school charm you can’t fake. Whether you’re catching a band, hanging on the patio, or just sipping a whiskey solo, this place always hits the right note. No pretension, just good times. West LA gem for sure.“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“One of a kind whiskey-craft beer neighborhood tavern/pub. Absolute Santa Monica / westside institution.“

“A go to gay bar in Weho. This place is so welcoming and the staff are all great. Lots of tvs with m various sports playing. On the most recent trip they had a live DJ who played great music at the perfect volume for the entire time we were there. Love their trivia night, and especially enjoy coming to their happy hour for a snack and some great bar bites!“

“Ive been hanging out here for over 25 years.. Great place, Great bartenders and Atmosphere.“

“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.“

“We used the place for a scene in a film. The place was really impressive. As a musician I usually find it hard to play gigs in smaller spaces. But this place is modern and updated. The stage is nice with plenty of room for a drum kit and still move around. They have nice stage lighting and an overall good musical club vibe. I will definitely book shows at this club for my band. It is a great spot for live shows.“

The service is exceptional, from the bus boy's to Jeffrey, a truly professional server that provides service above and beyond. The gracious hospitality, from the front door to the owner chef, Raphael, welcoming you is a true culinary experience. Highly recommend and greatly appreciate this neighborhood gem.“

“Stylish. Good food. Fun place!“

“Exquisite vibe and exclusivity. Love it! Sean was an excellent host! The Terrace was great as well for dinner for our Zuma exotic car group before being escorted to the Whiskey Bar. The Maybourne valets were excellent and staged our exotics out front. Looking forward to returning on a regular basis.“

“Romantic atmosphere playing throwback 90’s-2000 hip hop/R&B with a dark, laid back and speakeasy feel. Santa Monica gem!“

“wonderful atmosphere ..and people“

“very chill place and lots of fun“

“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!“

“O’Grady’s in Granada Hills is the kind of spot you go to for a good drink and end up staying because the vibe is just right. The energy’s great, the music’s always on point, and the drinks definitely hit the spot.

But let’s be real , she is the real star of the show is Courtney behind the bar. She doesn’t just pour drinks, she makes the whole night better. Quick with a smile, sharper with a comeback, and she’s got this charm that makes you wonder if she’s mixing drinks or just straight-up magic. I came in for a cocktail and left wondering how someone can make bartending look that good.

If you’re looking for a place where the atmosphere is fun and the company is even better, O’Grady’s is it. And if Courtney’s working? Let’s just say you’re in for more than just a great drink.

First time I have ever been but last time I will look for a bar! Ive gone back 4 nights in a row hoping courtney is working... she needs more days on!!

Dannie and Mary Lou are super nice to.“
