“Locals hangout. Locals often avoid the touristy trendy restaurants, buit love to meet and hang out at this super fun dive bar. Recommended by a local.

The food (burger, chips & beer) was good. A nice selection of beers on tap and by the bottle. Watch sports, play pool/billiards, hang out with friends, have a PTA meeting,etc.

As we were leaving, the local ladies, all meeting together Sunday night, were super friendly and waved hello/goodbye. Fun place.“

“Great place for cocktails in El Segundo. A lot of classic tiki drinks plus some twist. The purple passion and Vic's grog was my favorite. The atmosphere is a tiki bar with island vibes and music.

“First let me say I gave the food 5 stars but actually I didn't try it so I just kept everything five stars. I was in town for a funeral and I needed somewhere to go and have a drink shoot a game of pool and relax. I stopped by this place and everyone was very friendly including the bartender Michelle and they made me feel like I was a regular. When some of the guests found out that I was in town for a funeral some of them offered drinks to me and my family for our loss. This is a friendly place and I felt at home and I would definitely come back here and recommend that you try it as well.“

“It's in my home town . Rocky is the bomb !! and Mike Moore. just a great bar.“

“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.“

“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.“

“3 pool tables the coldest, cheapest beer/ drinks in Southgate & Los Angeles CA. The owner Fred is a great person. A little ruff around the edges but the best damm bar in Southgate. The people there are awesome 💯. I come from Pasadena to Southgate just to drink beer and play pool . Let That sink in...“

“The atmosphere is popping here! Excellent DJ, very welcoming people, and good vibes. The only downside is that it is a very small place for the number of people that arrive; no dance floor, only one pool table, and hard to order a drink because of the very crowded bar. However, it is a very good spot for the Black community and for anyone, of course. Everyone was so happy to be here. This was my first time visiting, and I am confident I have found a new local to hang out at.“

“Visiting LA from the UK loved this place“

“love the atmosphere my home spot“

“Had the most amazing night here after finding it on our last night. Great food, amazingly friendly staff, everyone out for just a good time! Two amazing singers on the night we were there also.“

“Outstanding food and service! The overall vibe is great!“

“great place especially in the morning“

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

“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.“

“Okay so there is only beers, wine, and hard kombuchas available (with a selection of unalcoholic drinks as well and soda) so there aren’t any cocktails or spirits. However, this works ??? Somehow it elevates the atmosphere, the wine with the beer it’s just the essentials. The DJ they brought in was so GOOD, (DJ Barrett). The bartenders are so nice, at one point the diva was left alone behind the bar but she was killing it. She was so nice regardless of how many people were waiting for their drinks, she deserves a raise I love her. The prices are decent compared to other LA bars I’ve been to. Overall a good bar to pre game and hang out and have a smoke.“

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

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

“Great bar, awesome bartender!“

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

“I am a femme lesbian. I am quiet, tend to just enjoy my alone time and mind my own business. I stopped in here last night because I'm traveling solo and wanted a safe place to hang out around like-minded queer folks. Brought a notebook because I didn't feel like staring at my phone. Disappointingly, I was heckled by a patron who insisted I was straight, didn't belong, and was only there because I wanted attention. They weren't quiet about it. Appeared to be a regular.

The staff were otherwise kind and welcoming. I wish I could give this place 5 stars, but I do feel that general social atmosphere is a pretty major contributor to overall quality/safety, especially in queer-forward spaces.“

“Redwood! Get down here! The place to be!“

“De todo un poco diversión para adultos“
