“Basin 141 is one of those neighborhood spots that’s easy to keep coming back to.
The atmosphere is relaxed and lively without being overly loud or chaotic, and it works just as well for grabbing drinks with friends as it does for sitting down for dinner. The space has a nice local feel to it — casual, comfortable, but still put together enough that it doesn’t feel like your average neighborhood bar.
Service has always been friendly and attentive, and the overall experience feels easygoing. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in, order a few things, have some drinks, and not feel rushed.
One of the things I like most about Basin 141 is that it fits Montrose really well. It has personality, a good crowd, and enough of a food and drink selection that there’s usually something for everyone.
Definitely a solid local spot and one I’m happy to have in the neighborhood.“

“Great local experience when visiting a friend who lives around the corner. Expecting to come back every visit as an easy walk. But, sadly, after our server left for the night from the dining area we moved to the bar area service was sporadic. We are of the more mature clientele and sadly weren't treated the same as the younger sect which 100% should not at all be a thing in any community, but especially this area. You never know who you are offending. Sadly we felt disregarded at the bar from all servers other than the female bartender (didn't get her name) and Ty, other than that the interactions for water and additional cocktails was just subpar and unfortunate, we left "only" because of the disrespect. OTHERWISE, great drinks, great food, great vibe and ambiance!“

“What a fantastic place and I really don't want it to get overrun; I want it all to myself! No really fantastic hospitality and service from Lizzy (hope I didn't butcher it)! Also disclaimer I only had 2 Guinness watching some footy on the telly but their menu looks amazing! They have traditional breakfast and I even saw a Beef Wellington! I shall return to try! So, standby.“

“Great experience at The Blind Donkey! GM/bartender Gabriel was fantastic. He took the time to chat and made the whole visit really enjoyable with his friendly conversation and service. The vibe was welcoming and it felt like a solid spot to relax. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This place is awesome and has unexpectedly delicious food! The kitchen is open late, and despite us arriving an hour before close, they kindly served us and the food was unexpected yummy. Delicious sweet potato fries, burger, bowl, and others. Wish I took more photos, but we were busy eating. Lovely dive bar ambience. Will definitely come back!“

“Great food. I ordered the chicken blt and chips and salsa. The salsa wasn't hot enough but ooh well it was good enough. Andrew the bartender was amazing. The karoke was nice. My only problem is the karoke host did not at any time wipe down any mics after countless people used it and with the drinks flowing and people having a good time like me that made me nervous. I wanted so bad to get up there and sing.“

“There is no other place I love to let loose and dance my heart out more than The Dime! I had such a fun night being transported back to when bars were casual and fun to go to. Good drinks, great music, loved the vibe!“

“Great food options and good drinks. There is a line for the restaurant or go just past that and there is the bar which is connected. If you're not getting food and just want drinks, go into the bar area. Pro tip, there is a patio in the back and it's much quieter out there but still has a great atmosphere.“

“I love this place. A group of us found this awesome spot when we were looking for an easy after work watering hole, and we’ve been back every Friday for adult beverages since.
The atmosphere is fun, but not too loud. The service is great, and the drinks won’t break the bank. What more can you ask for?“

“The Greyhound Bar is my all time favorite local, neighborhood bar! The drinks are fantastic and the food is delicious! Literally the best “bar food” in LA! All the bartenders are friendly and make it a very welcoming place to hangout. I love running into the regulars here. The owner is also very cool, friendly and welcoming! They always accommodate my modified order of the Greyhound Burger into the best vegetarian version, I have yet to find a better vegetarian cheeseburger in LA. Also, the best and raddest bartender here is Iliana, beautiful inside and out! Highly recommend this place. Especially if you want to catch a game here or just get a great burger and drink!“

“Best pub in the Altadena area. It is a family run business, and really, a more traditional "public house." Not too many places like this around! Guiness and other European ales on tap. Nice selection of wines too. Say hi to Judah, Gail & family and help support Altadena!“

“During the World Cup we checked out some German beer gardens, and somehow over saw this one, possibly the only heart-driven authentic German one. The most we have seen so far, it was more a "business plan" let's do what Americans may think a German beer garden looks like. Our friend, the LA promoter Vahe, took us yesterday. We found a little gem, grown over the years, with an actual German owner and a service that had more than basic knowledge of German food. Nice! The ambiance was what you would expect from a place like this, less stylish-designer but more owner look-what-we-brought-from-Germany over the many years. The food was actually good, reasonably priced and generously portioned - the sauce platter really deserved its name "platter"- Came with great German curry ketchup. It would be too much to brag about the food, it was decent better than just OK version of classic beer garden dishes. But one has to be fair: where in German beer gardens you find food really worth bragging about? So while I was really tempted to stop at 4 out of five stars, I give 5. After all, it matches my most key how-to-get-5 element: would I do a 30+ min detour just to go here. If someone asked me to show them decent German cuisine in a somewhat authentic ambiance, I would take them here. The Kiez may be closer to our home, the Wirtshaus more stylish, but here we found the hearty welcome we missed elsewhere.“

“This place has great BBQ and great cocktails. I stopped on my way over the hill to Santa 213 Pub and Jjam Pong and had the smoked chicken spring salad and a cocktail. The bartender was a nice personable guy and the the chicken in the salad was nice and moist. I will be back!“
“Its been a long time establishment in the community catering to its devoted clientele, especially to its hispanic and LGBTQ community. As recently as last Friday night, the Silver Platter has prevailed in its effort to provide an outlet of entertainment and appreciation for the community that it supports.
They've upgraded their environment and at one time also provided valet parking, however, with the current stringent limited parking availability, it's been difficult to accommodate and support this historic bar; very much worth a visit though. With the support of those who know this bar well, they should be commended to continue to support a mainstay of L.A.
It's been a while since I posted the above review. It's January 31, 2026. The Silver Platter, subject to being evicted and demolished should definitely be relocated. Its historic value and undeniably a dive bar, provides an ambiance that is unique to its community. Those that can't appreciate the need and value of this establishment in serving the community are too quick to criticize its patrons and deficiencies. This place is a haven to many. It exists to enjoy a cold beer, enjoy the music, people watch and have some fun. We should do what we can to keep the Silver Platter thriving!“

“I came here two years ago for a drink and when I came back to the area, made sure to try the food. I ordered the bacon kimchi pasta and wow it was good. Spicy, creamy, savory- one of the best restaurant dishes I’ve had in a while.“

“Karaoke 🎤 night on Friday's with KJ Fabio is a lot of fun. Great, fun, friendly crowd of locals in this small bar. There's a pool table in front and darts in the back, with the bar and karaoke in between. Drinks are reasonably priced too!“
