47 Best Dive Bars near Gardena

“I performed a Blues concert there this week in their large music hall & library with bar which adjoins a very busy bar room playing old school
recorded R&B. It's a lively and fun place to hang. There's cocktails, beer, music and pool tables. A diverse friendly crowd. They let you Postmate or bring food. There's even an outdoor patio.“

“This was the first place I came once I hit my grand 21. I absolutely love it. Diana is a sweetheart, she treats you like family, I've been coming here almost a year now. I'm on a first name basis with most of the bartenders, they're all great, I absolutely feel welcomed and valued here. I try to come here at least once a month, I love the ambiance here. The patrons here are always friendly and welcoming ❤ They're the best of the best here. 10/10 recommend. They're very hospitable here, they'll never let your cup go empty, the servers are on the ball here. If you want to have a great night and make good memories, come to Froggy's Bar and Grill.“

“Fabulous staff here with very affordable prices on food AND drinks! The new happy hour now starts at 2pm EVERY DAY till 8pm!!!! Love the upgrade draft beer options to a boom sh size for only $3 more!!!! Great new local neighborhood bar. Fantastic games room with something for everyone.“

“You can meet new good friends and experience the best live music in South Bay. 😎✨✨✨ That’s my home. I hope to go back there. 🌈“

“The burger and the service are excellent. The burger is a stand out given the current climate where everyone only serves smash burgers. This is a high quality, butcher, thick burger. It’s a neighborhood spot where you can enjoy the game and the burger.“

“It's about 30 minutes from LAX airport.
I went for 3 days in a row. The staff and customers are very friendly and the atmosphere is great.
When I entered the store wearing a yukata, I was greeted by many people. Thank you very much❗“

Very safe ?(Original)Lugar divertido, grandes amistades, chicas agradables, mesa de billar en buenas condiciones y en la parte de atrás aire fresco? lo recomiendo. Muy seguro ?“

“My favorite spot for live music in Los Angeles. The monday gipsy jazz band hot club of LA is just awesome - super good quality music, good entertainment (the drummer is super funny and kind). These guys should be playing for a massive crowd, enjoy while the place is not packed every monday yet.“

“The best bartenders ever! Good people , good vibes , good food and good times! ❤️“

“I didn't even know this place existed until a neighbor took me here. Its very spacious it's super clean and it's definitely much better than most neighborhood bars. I actually thought this place was a liquor store in passing. Sally is a great bartender. Very personable and a joy to converse with. There's 3 pool tables and ample room for a crowd.“

“Great Atmosphere. Great hang out, nice local spot....“

“Excellent spot for a decomposer before or after having to deal with LAX. This is my go to spot before or after the insanity of the airport. Excellent cocktails with an overall chill vibe and relaxing atmosphere. A deff diamond in the rough.“

“Mel and Jane are super cool. Always a fun time when they are behind the bar. Cute too. Bonus!“

“What a fun place! My buddy told me about this spot and it is really an enjoyable environment. Cool place, cool brews, cool crowd.

The only feedback I have for the business is that volume is not a substitute for quality when it comes to music. The music was significantly overamplified, and while palatable, lacked discernment and seemed a bit random.

Otherwise, though, it was a fun place to party.“

“Great drinks & a pool game“

“I had good time Friday night with with family I kept a smile on my face all night and mingled with friendly people. I love being around an older crowd people enjoying their self that’s what it supposed to be about Black people coming together having fun without fighting all the time. Peace one love.“

“Amazing bar, Jose was very nice; an amazing and attentive bartender. He made us feel very welcomed and made sure everything was on point!

The place is very cozy with a nice terrace where you can smoke while having your drink. I had a great time!

A place I would highly recommend.“

“chill atmosphere, great music I will definitely be back“

“Friendly service and good service“

“This particular Irish pub, among the many in Prague, is clearly above its competitors. Great beers and drinks at normal prices, nice environment, enjoyable music - often quite decent live/karaoke! All the personnel was efficient and polite, but Eve really stood out for her professionalism and pure sweetness, creating a positive sentiment to the guest! Congratulations to all members of the team!“

“Visiting LA from the UK loved this place“

“It’s such a lovely dump LOL! Love going there on Wednesdays for the rib eye steak. I hope they don’t ever remodel or change a thing in there including the ripped up mish mash chairs, wobble tables… it’s our favorite happy little place. We donated some ping pong rackets because theirs were sooo bad but they probably don’t even notice it. Dive bars for the chill low maintenance people. : ) Xo“

“Absolutely nothing! Miss you Gordy!😊“

“Good food, friendly service. Been here several times and everything has been good. Also, they have cold beer :)“

“We brought our food truck here on the 4th of July and it was fabulous. The owner Big Tod is the Boss and he's a gracious man. We appreciate this community-oriented dive bar. Change is good, drinks are strong, billiards are fun, and the audio system is tight AF.“

“It's a very small bar but it has a cozy feel to it. On any given night the owners hire bands to play indoors. They did have a nice outdoor patio area that offered way more room and seating. The room allowed for several musicians at a time to play and entertain. Not sure why they closed it up though. Now it becomes too tight in the bar. The owners are super nice people. They went out of there way to make everyone feel welcome on NYE and had free delicious food, layed out buffet style, in another room, for free for everyone. They are definitely special people. It's a good place to hang out with friends.“

“I both love and loathe gentrification. In the case of this bar, I loathe gentrification, if only for the increased prices in drinks. Staff is great. However, the bar fights used to be entertaining, but those don't happen anymore. That's a bit depressing.“

“the bartenders are amazing always good vibes and great peaple“

“love the atmosphere my home spot“

“Great Bartenders with good service. A good local bar...also there's shuffleboard,pinball & pool.“

“Cool joint. Cold beer! Best tacos every Thursday through Saturday!!“

“The highlight though, and is just my opinion is the staff let me take a few balls as souvenirs and been using them at my office for ping pong. Score!I'll probably be back just for drinks and light bites, but don't really envision renting out another table for ping pong. I'll stick to free ping pong at the office. =)“

“great place especially in the morning“

“It's a good place to unwind. Karaoke some nights and jazz band Tuesday nights. As far as service, bartender Mel needs a bit of improvement. She's always staring at her phone and not paying attention to the clients. You need to yell her name out to get her attention.“

“great stage for performances and big dance floor for Cumbiafest“

“Haven't been there since 1991 when there was red carpet on the walls and Shakey the bartender who we called "Pizza Hut" made strong well drinks. Looks like the place got gentrified so is it really a "dive bar" anymore? Actually looks NICE inside and out!“

“Great bar, awesome bartender!“

“Great KJ, great bartenders and great customers! What more does one need?!“

“Amazing bar Lisa is the best her CSA skills r the best, and she made my day was here having a drink with my father in memory of his birthday, and just wanted to think about nothing else but him, but her presence and attentiveness were off the charts made me dig deep, memories of my father's words came back flowing and it's no doubt it was because of you Lisa, thank you!!“

“We came to this spot earlier in the day and it was completely empty. The atmosphere is very quaint and welcoming. The lady at the bar was friendly. The pool tables are in pretty good condition, although some of the cues are a little broken. Overall, we had a very good experience at this spot.“
