50 Best Bars near Granada Hills

“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.“

“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.“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“Fun spot to hang out and an amazing selection of beers.“

“Played darts with Steve on the first night I ever visited this location. Cheap drinks, great service, a touch tunes jukebox, and an electronic darts machine I so far have never seen anywhere else. Been an on-and-off regular here for the last 7 months - I love this venue! - Julio“

Been going here for years and every time I leave I can’t wait to go back! Thanks guys! Cheers! We’ll see you soon.“

“My husband and I finally got to try the Sidecar Market in Newhall. The drinks were superb. Food was pretty good as well. The wait staff was very attentive. They literally checked on us every few minutes. We were there fairly early though so it had a casual vibe. No one other than us seemed to be dressed for dinner. The only downside was my husband asked if they could make a Ramos Gin Fizz. We have had it in New Orleans, where it originated, and in an upscale bar in Vegas. Both those experiences were incredible. The bartender said she didn't know what it was so he said nevermind and asked for something different. Well I guess she wanted to impress, looked it up and gave him one anyway. Unfortunately she failed miserably. There's a reason only a few places make it. It's an art and very labor intensive. He didn't want to send it back and drank it anyway. 🤔🤔 I didn't take a photo of it.“

“1st time at The Local. We enjoyed tasty food, reasonable prices, and great staff. The Dodger game was on and Francisco made sure everything was running smooth. We will be back (enjoyed sliders and fries)“

“wonderful atmosphere ..and people“

“Shoutout to Tanner, the bartender last night. He was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made the experience better. Great energy, great hospitality, and solid drink recommendations. My friend and I both felt taken care of from start to finish. Big props to Tanner—he’s a huge asset to the bar. We’ll definitely be back.“

“very chill place and lots of fun“

“NOW OPEN!!!!!!!! Stop by and have a cold One!!!!!!“

“I’ve been coming to this spot since it was the Celtic Raven, and I happened to walk in on Chela’s Cantina during its soft launch. I’ve been a regular ever since day one. The owner is phenomenal, and the crowd it attracts is just as great! friendly, welcoming, and full of good vibes.

There’s always something to do here: enjoy music, grab some food and drinks, hop on karaoke, or play a round of pool. While the alcohol selection is smaller compared to bigger bars, it actually introduced me to wine spirits and gave me a new appreciation for trying something different.

If you’re looking for a small, local atmosphere with a strong sense of community, I highly recommend Chela’s Cantina. It’s truly a hidden gem!“

“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!“

“Stopped by the backdrop lounge while waiting for some friends and I just say your bartender was awesome !!! She not only is friendly and approachable she is very knowledgeable about the area. She recommended places to go dancing, watch comedy shows and made my waiting fly bye. Will definitely be coming back to be served the best chilled drinks by Olivia !!“

“We had a nice existing, outdoor table stand with a weather destroyed table top. I shopped on the internet for a nice, teak table top. Restaurant Seating Barn Furniture had a good selection of teak table tops at good price points. We ordered a 36” round, teak table tops at and we really like it. It arrived in short order and the quality was nice. I teak oiled the top and bottom. It turned out fabulous!“

“I'm so excited you all are reopening This Wednesday! I have so many fun and fond memories of great afternoons into nights at the Barrel. Karaoke with the locals is always fun. congratulations see you all soon“

“*Unexpected Gem - My New Go-To Spot!*

I'll admit, I didn't expect to fall in love with El Potro Bar. At first glance, I thought it might not be my vibe, but boy was I wrong! This hidden gem has become my regular haunt, and for good reason.

The real stars of the show are bartenders Alejandra and Raquel. They're two of the kindest, most attentive, skilled and attractive bartenders I've encountered in ages. Their warm smiles, quick wit, and expertly crafted drinks make every visit a delight.

Sure, the atmosphere might be laid-back and slow-paced, but that's exactly what I've grown to appreciate. No pretentiousness, just genuine hospitality and a cozy ambiance that makes me feel right at home.

Alejandra and Raquel know their stuff, always willing to offer recommendations or whip up something special. Their passion shines through in every pour, and it's infectious.

Don't let the slow pace fool you - El Potro Bar has become my favorite spot to unwind, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a perfectly chilled beer.

*Recommendations:* Come on Thursday and Ask Alejandra for a bucket of cold beers!

*Will I return?* Absolutely, and with friends in tow!“

“Had such a great time last night , great bartenders , loved my drinks and Jell-O shots ... u can actually taste the alcohol not like other bars .... I recommend this place , they made me feel welcomed“

“The wings, salads, pizza and fried cauliflower are the best!“

“I can't overstate how immaculate the vibes are. Its cash only and you'll want to learn some Spanish but you better bet that you're going to leave with at LEAST five new friends by the end of the night. Wonderful service, wonderful folks, GREAT music.“

“Festive Friendly warm welcoming while doing I’ll upscale and elegant 🥂“

“A Good Place To Dance For A While And Chat Friendlyly In A Good Atmosphere Due To The Covid Pandemic, 19 Has Been Closed At Least Since Friday They Already Done It! Open.? Some of you or the bar can see what has already been written and send me a text.“

“I didn’t get any food here but it was a chill bar with cheap drinks. I really wanted to come on here to talk abut the security man outside. HE DESERVES A RAISE. He holds this place DOWN even with somebodies mom to even gammy acting out of pocket. You’re safe if he’s outside!“

There is a wide variety of food options available, allowing everyone to find something they enjoy. The staff members were friendly and helpful, and the overall organization of the venue was impressive. The quality of the food was very good, and the portions were generous. Although it can become busy during peak hours, the service remained efficient and professional. Overall, it is a fun place with great food and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“The bar at the Valley Inn is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in LA. Yes, it’s tiny but get there early, secure your seat and you’re in for a ride of the greatest cocktails served up by a ladies and gentlemen’s gentleman - the maker with the shaker, Bill. Seriously, make a friend of this guy and then introduce him and the bar to your favorite people - only your favorite people! The food in the restaurant is great but a tad expensive but the bar will become your new happy place. Bravo“

“My Family And I , Really Enjoyed, Pablo, Gave Us A Great Experience!!!! Will Be Back!!! Love It, And Great Food!!!“
