50 Best Cocktail Bars near Granada Hills

“Came in for a drink and to check out the area since we are new to the area. The place was kind of small and majority of the people inside were older. The tables had all the dirty cups on there and were still there when we were leaving. We ordered double shots of tequila and a few micheladas. We saw people eating McDonalds in there. They have darts to play and the music was nice,“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Casita! Brittany, the concierge, and our server Delilah provided exceptional, warm, and professional service that truly stood out. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!“

“nice place guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“We enjoyed the drinks as well as the food and the ambience 👍🏽😎“

“A great meal to celebrate our 8th grader’s MS graduation and my FIL’s 75th birthday! Thankful, too, for the Katz family’s support of our school’s fundraiser back in April - we were able to use a gift card we had won at that event.

Definitely a “seen and be seen” kind of vibe, but we did not feel out of place at all and the service was warm and welcoming and super accommodating of both our youngest son’s allergies and our large party. Thank you so much, especially Katrina who was patient and attentive throughout our meal.

Rolls were delicious, the whole crispy fish was a showstopper, and the drinks were perfect. All in all, a superb evening!“

“Ah... The Maui Sugar Mill, in Tarzana, Ca.

I've been going to this venue on Monday nights for live music, mostly blues, for 17 years. All ages attend, and the atmosphere is chill very rare to see any issues there.

It never gets old! The fun never stops. I always have a great time, and the people (some I've seen or known for years) in attendance are fun and lively.

The first show, usually a local band, starts at 8pm.

The main event begins around 9pm and goes on until about 11pm.

Artists and bands, some famous (from all over the globe), perform here. Joe Bonamassa was just there performing. However, I believe tickets were sold for that event due to his popularity in the music world.

From about 11pm until close (around 1:30-1:45am), there is an open jam (featuring musicians and singers from all backgrounds) run by bassist Michael B. Bolden. Michael has played with many famous artists and is famous in his own rite!

During the open jam, you'll see all sorts of musicians get pared together and play and sing some amazing music.

It's certainly a treat, I often stay for this entertaining and interesting part of the evening!

The whole nights events are brought to you and run by a local promoter and blues guitarist Cadillac Zack. He's amazing and wonderful! Don't forget to get on his mailing list to be informed of upcoming events.

It's free to get in!
However, there is a two drink minimum. The bartenders render service with a smile, and they never pressure you. A voluntary contribution is asked for and collected by Cadillac Zack to pay the perfoemers sometime during the show.

No worries, though! You will get much more (amazing artists, entertainment, and people) out of it than what you put into the donation pot. Heck, you may become a regular like many of us!

Note: It gets pretty full, but you can reserve a table or seat for a fee (Contact Cadillac Zack, he's on Facebook) for more info.

Oh! One more thing! If you get hungry, the restaurant next door serves food until 10 pm. You can order right from where you are, and they'll deliver it right to you.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it's wheelchair friendly but gets pretty packed.“

“The best! If you are craving the tiki experience of a lifetime, you owe yourself a visit. The staff is freaking amazing, too! They all are so knowledgeable and friendly. Super recommend!“

“I mean … being a regular for almost 10 yrs. This place never disappoints …. Never…. The cast of characters is entertaining and the history etc … the owner Mark is the best… I’m not gonna go in too much cuz they already know how much we love and haunt this place…. You’re missing out if you don’t come.“

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!“

“Docs is one of the most fun bars to play. My band BlackHeart played there every month and the staff treated us great! Sarah always communicated and kept us in the loop. All of the bartenders and door guys made us feel welcome and enjoyed our rock style of music. We love it there and BlackHeart thanks them and will hopefully be back in house soon! Thanks guys! Docs Inn rocks!“

“Phish PHUN carpet, great drinks and fabulous VIBE!“

“Dee did such an incredible job. She was very polite and professional. She was super attentive and overall helpful. Definitely would come earlier in the day as the dinner period can get a bit loud but regardless a very benevolent experience!“

“A must place for a sports“

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous“

“Omg. What a menu. Who ever thought Brussel spouts could ever taste so good. I could take a big bowl of those with a huge spoon! Wow! Everything was great!“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“Even though we were tourists, it was a very friendly local bar with a great atmosphere! The bartender was very kind even though he translated it into Papago for us because he couldn't speak English. The atmosphere was very nice and there were a lot of different beers, which was great! From a foreigner's perspective, coming to a local bar can be very scary, but this place was very comfortable, friendly, and fun! And the store had a nice atmosphere and the bathroom was clean, so I really liked it! It was a store near my accommodation, and I want to go there again before I go back to Korea! It was a store where everyone was satisfied :)“

“Local bar, friendly staff, friendly patrons, pool table and darts. 🥂“

“Love the people and food is amazing!!“

“A classic, traditional Jazz bar with old fashioned friendly rules, a casual, welcoming vibe and long-standing live music.

Don't dress like a slob, but you don't have to dress up. If you're in old Canoga Park, Casey's is not to be missed.“

“The DJ it’s excelente it has a great sound and all kind of music“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“Do they have dj what kind of music they play“

“EXCELLENT experience!!! We went here for my birthday dinner and not only was the food delicious and fresh, but the service was INCREDIBLE. We ordered one small drink, the burrata, meatballs, and tagliatelle, and our waitress (Kristin?) also brought us a comped cauliflower just because she wanted us to try her favorite thing. I forgot names, so sorry, but we interacted with a hostess, our main waitress, and another girl who were all so sweet and kind. They also ended up bringing us out an extra penne dish (not pictured). My daughter ordered the seasonal sorbet (peach-blood orange), and then they also brought me out a scoop of housemade vanilla ice cream to top off my birthday celebration. The service we received was really spectacular.

We would absolutely go back, even without the freebies.“

“Always a wonderful culinary adventure as well as good wines and craft cocktails! The bar staff can be quite creative and always friendly. Plus, the atmosphere is fresh and hip- Industrial yet cozy.“

“Amazing dining experience. Our server had a great deal of knowledge about food items and was able to make appropriate recommendations for all of us. We loved the ambience and everyone's meal was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back. “

“Es un excelente lugar,muy buen ambiente,y riquísimo el menu😘👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😋❤“

“Good food, nice vibe, cool crowd. Very friendly and attentive service for Brunch on a very rainy day.“

“On Valentine's Day, my friend and I looked for a good restaurant to take our family. We found this restaurant called Blossom on Ventura blvd. But I looked in reviews and I saw some 1 star. I can not judge someone's reviews because if you see some unhappy customers with 1 or 2 stars, where are the other 1000 happy customers? We called and reserved the table, We arrived around 8pm for dinner. The place was packed, all the tables full, live music and a good lighting system put you in a good mood. We said definitely this is the place we want. We really enjoy the place. We had good food and a full liquor bar. Hard to find In LA to be all one place with good food, drink, DJ and dance floor. Definitely we will go there again and highly recommend it.“

“Beautiful restaurant and bar with tasty food and great service. I’ll be back!“

“What an amazing place to enjoy a meal! The food was absolutely fantastic! Our server was incredible—she really took the time to explain the menu and made some great recommendations since it was our first time there. She even let us explore options for sharing so we could try a variety of dishes! We kicked things off with the Chicken Taquitos, which were loaded with cheese and guacamole—so delicious! The Enchilada mole was bursting with flavor and had just the right amount of spice. And those Quesa Birria Tacos? Wow! They were oozing with flavor and absolutely heavenly. We decided to go for the margarita flight, and let me tell you, all four flavors were a hit! This place is definitely a must-visit!“

“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.“

“Truly not enough descriptive words to express the level of freshness, taste and welcoming vibe we experienced at Karma Sushi. Honestly the BEST sushi I’ve had in forever. James and his staff are a 10+ (no exaggeration). They greet you like family and take care of you like only an owner runned business could. I’m hooked and can’t stop eating here!!!! Was just there for Mother’s Day and returning next week to share with a friend. A MUST TRY.“

“Great food service and the atmosphere was wonderful.“

“Luis was awesome! Excellent service!“

“Very nice place. The food was good, atmosphere was good, although the number of booths was limited with the remainder being hard seats. They did have a good beer selection. Although one of my beers was sour, but they replaced it with no issue. Overall I would return“

“They have the best KJ in town!“

“👍 good food and nice people“

“rib eye steak is the best“

“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“

“Had a wonderful meal. The chef was awesome and interactive“

“Happy Hour is a great time to experience this place! Delicious items on the Happy Hour menu, of course you can order from regular menu as well. Mix and match! We love the Ceviche and Carnitas tacos. Shot of Tequila and a Modelo hit the spot. Friendly people and atmosphere.“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“Wonderful service, delicious food and the cake was TDF! Dense chocolate and creamy ganache topped off the filet cooked to perfection! And if you like olives, get the fried olives appetizer as well as the tuna tartar … can’t rave enough! Kudos to the chef!“

“Absolutely stellar experience. Great food and great service. What impressed me the most was how sparkling clean it was. Most pubs tend to be filthy....not the White Harte. From the crystal clear front window to the spotless patio to the bathrooms. It felt like a brand new building. The pub area is a little small but has a cozy feel. Dining at the pub really takes you out of the city for a bit, in that you feel a sense of rural Britain. It was not too loud, yey everyone was having a marvelous time. Also, everyone from staff to patrons seemed friendly and mild mannered. I came with my folks, and they were more than accommodating to our needs. Thank you for a memorable experience.“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“Our server was very nice. They unfortunately did not have the passion fruit cocktail anymore. 🥲 which i was so excited about. We did try their guava margarita, which was just sweet enough. Their carnitas nachos were surprisingly pleasing. Melted cheese avocado and the soft shredded carnitas. The tri tip tacos were good, but I dont know if I'd order them again. The burgers and fries were very tasty too.“

“Great food! Friendly staff and quick service. Casual atmosphere.“

“A gem of a dining destination with an elevated but accessible menu. Patio seating is a must, and coyote fries are a can’t-miss—as is the entire wine list.“

“Love this place - it’s always chill, the parm garlic fires are amazing, there’s tons of games and books and the drinks are all fun literary references.

The ONE complaint I have, is that for a place that’s mostly quiet, it consistently takes forever to get a drink.“
