“It’s a wonderful place to hang“

“Probably my favorite bar in the Eastern San Gabriel Valley. I'm here right now abd there's about 15-20 seats directly at the bar and exactly 5 tall cocktsil tables with high stools directly across from the bar . It's dark inside and narrow, 6 flat screen tvs for watchibg the games, one pool table , a small outside patio near the entrance....lots of California Lotto and Lottery options. Impressive selection of spirits from cheap to high end. It's definitely an OG vzr but contemporary. Me likes the Cove.“

“Always a good time love this place“

“My favorite bartender works there, Christine Bockting!!!“

“This is the spot if you need a good, cold drink & a chill, old school vibe. I don’t like bars that have windows & Poor Denny’s is old school in that regard. Ever since Ember’s Lounge closed down, this has been my spot. It’s cash only, but there’s a ATM machine there. I love the digital jukebox that allows you to play all kinds of music. The bartenders are always nice & they have wonderful hands on the pours. ? Good vibes & mellow times here.“

“The lounge is conveniently located within Hilton San Gabriel. It was spacious and comfortable. The staff were inviting, friendly and extremely efficient. They took wonderful care of us. For lunch we ordered: clam chowder, Caesar salad, beef taquitos with guacamole dip and Parma ham and mozzarella flat bread. All the dishes were perfectly seasoned and delicious. My only two suggestions would be to serve crackers with the soup and maybe change the flatbread sauce to a marinara. I had an old fashioned with my meal which I really enjoyed. The drink was well balanced.The lounge is a non tipping restaurant. It’s odd I know, at least for me it is. The tip was already added to the final bill and we paid approximately 65+“

“no food just regular little snacks. If you wanna eat something eat something before you go, but Roberta is an absolute Saint. She may seem kind of direct to you, but she’s very kind and a very wonderful person and a great bar Owner. It’s a really nice cool chill atmosphere to be out. There is one of my favorite places to be at without stupid people being around. Roberta makes it happen.“

“If you are looking for a dive bar, this place is it! Chris met us with a smile and was friendly and fun the whole time we were there. Nice mix of customers. Felt welcome the whole time.

Plenty of seating. 7 tables on the side that could seat at least 6 people each and that isnt counting the bar itself! One pool table in front, a darts machine, a punching machine, AMI jukebox and an ATM. Oh, unlike most dive bars, this place takes cards and is not cash only.

Nice pours and a good selection of bottled beers. This is an old school dive bar so don't expect draft beer or blended drinks.

Plenty of parking and clean bathrooms too.

What are you waiting for? Thirsty? Come by and see for yourself. This is the last dive bar in Norwalk. Lets make sure it stays in business.“

“A bartender who play pool with you and has great hospitality skills . This young lady was professional in my entire time at so there nothing but good things to say . Great music selection and also show all your favorite sports games. This is the spot for me now !“

“when we want a tasty meal, we come here. always delicious“

“la comida estava delisiosa, el mesero muy atento . excelente servisio“

“Amazing!! The food is exquisite every single dish plate takes you back to the real Mexican flavor. The service is very nice 👍🏼
Maybe is me, but the music is a little loud only. Everything else is wonderful thank you for feeding us “El Sol 626”
Also the churro dessert was the bomb🥰“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“Located in a vibrant neighborhood, Oyster Dive Bar offers a delightful dining experience with a unique twist on seafood classics. The crispy Cajun fries with cheese are a standout appetizer, perfectly seasoned and crunchy, making them an irresistible starter. The lobster pasta features fresh lobster, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, ideal for both casual outings and intimate dinners. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. However, it's worth noting that the restroom could use more attention; cleanliness was a bit lacking during my visit. Despite this minor drawback, the delicious food and pleasant surroundings make Oyster Dive Bar a recommended choice for seafood enthusiasts looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a relaxed setting. Overall, Oyster Dive Bar earns four stars for its tasty dishes, friendly service, and comfortable ambiance. With a few improvements in cleanliness, it could easily become a five-star dining destination.“

“Great food. Great service. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Place was clean.“

“Great place to have some beers, and play some pool, or watch a game.“

“We came during Valentine’s Day and was pleasantly surprised with the experience - from delicious and quite good portion of food to attentiveness in service. Patricio was our server and he was very attentive, checking in on us right after the food were delivered.“

“The food is delicious and the service is very good! though I eat in, I always order more food to go to enjoy the next day.“

“Wow… I have been wanting to bring home dinner from Steve’s after work, and I was finally able to time it right. The food was unbelievable!
The flavor of the brisket was perfect and so tender. The twice baked potato was the best that I have ever had. They were very kind when I picked up my food, and the restaurant looked so beautiful inside. I will be back hands down!“

“Really nice environment… staff is really respectful and always on top of things… food is really good.. I’ve never had a bad experience here.. I highly recommend“

“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent“

“I got the Mongolian beef, extra spicy. It was tasty, but 85% rice, and was actually a little sweet not spicy. They merely threw more whole red chili's but nobody actually eats whole Chinese red chili's.

My friend got the swordfish, and opted out of the rice and upgraded to double string beans, didn't look like they doubled it.She said there's no hint of flavor on the beans, like they were simply boiled. She did like the caper sauce on the fish but had to ask for more.

Both dishes were lunch sized portions with dinner pricing, but there's live music (Friday 7pm), so just realize that it's less of a restaurant than a fine whiskey bar with food.“

“Good ambiance and good food.“

“Great food, service, drinks and ambiance.“

“Great food! I always get a mushroom taco there - they have great! mushrooms!!“

“Bartenders are super cool. Karaoke is the best. I just watch but its enjoyable and the D.J. is the coolest. The vibe reflects everything beautiful about Los Angeles, cool people from all backgrounds enjoying themselves and being chill. <3“

“My husband made reservations on January 24, 2026.
We were drawn in by social media and had high expectations.
Those expectations where met! We reviewed their website prior and where exited to get all dressed up for the night!
When we arrived were kindly greeted by Angie whom guided us to the main area. The design of the place is very classy and warm with music that adds to the vibe. For diner we had the Cacio e Pepe (Salmon/Pasta) and the Tailor's Cut (Steak/Mash potatoes/veggies). For drinks we had The Seamstress and a Whiskey Mix). To top it off we had a slice chocolate cake, my fave!
We both really enjoyed our selections everything was delicious! Our server was very kind; we were also greeted by the owner.
We will definitely be returning and have been recommending to our family and friends.“

“My girlfriend and i came here and were so pleasantly surprised! Logan sat us and served us and gave great suggestions from the menu. We didn't get any of the other's names but everybody was so attentive and kind it was just refreshing. We loved the food and vibe so much we can't wait to go back. I had read a few reviews about the food being bland, let me tell you that i season the hell out of my food! Bland is the last thing i would call what we had..... We ordered everything that Logan recommended and loved it all. The wild
carrots were to die for! Heading back soon!“

“Every year after the Glendora All Class Reunion Picnic in October, members of the graduating class of 1969 aim to meet up for a more intimate visit at Club House 66. We started it the weekend of our 50th High School Reunion with dinner the night before our formal gala. We had our 70th birthday on the beautiful patio there 2 years later with a wonderful buffet dinner. We no longer have a committee planned reunion but we have committed to trying to make the Annual All Class Picnic and then having a no host gathering on the Club House 66 patio. This year there were 14 of us,74 year old, coming by after a day at Finkbiner Park to have drinks and dinner on a warm Indian Summer night to reminisce with childhood friends. Our server was Ruth and she was delightful and her team made us feel like royalty. They set up the table to greet the group and kept the drinks flowing , the water glasses full and brought us delicious food as we ordered it thoughout the night. Ruth made sure we each had our own bill. We didn’t even have to ask. We interacted with the other friendly families out on the patio and we all felt like we had come “home”. It was the perfect ending to a great day spent laughing about childhood memories and our journeys into adulthood. We will be back next year and plan to celebrate our Class of 1969’s 75th Birthday right there on that picturesque patio. Thank you Clubhouse 66, Ruth and the whole team who made us feel so special. ♥️“

“I love this place. Lively Atmosphere.“

“Bill and I loved that bar...it's like home.“

“We tried this little bar while we were visiting friends in the Uptown Whittier area. It's an eclectic little cocktail lounge with speakeasy vibes. We loved the decor and the ambience was great with dimmed soft red lights that made the place very relaxing. They had happy hour going on and we tried the queso con chorizo dip. It came really hot so it was watery and when we tried it, it was oily and mushy. However, once it cooled, the dish was solidified and the flavors really merged and popped- the oaxaca cheese, poblano peppers, and chorizo really blended together into a delicious dish. I highly recommend you try it! They have specialty drinks but carry a full bar and can make many other drinks. I really enjoyed their specialty drinks although they were very small. We spent about an hour there, then headed to dinner with friends. The staff was great and attentive. They were very nice and really explained their menu. It was a cute little place that were definitely visiting again when we're in town.“

“How can pass on a chance to do e here…history“

“Loved this hand roll spot! Super fresh ingredients, warm rice, and crispy seaweed—everything hit the mark. The staff were friendly, the vibe was chill, and the rolls came out fast. Great place to grab a few bites and hang out. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The place can get a little busy when the mall is busy but totally worth the wait if you want good food and drinks. I recommend the Crispy Eggplant Parmesan, Grilled Bread & Good Olive Oil and the Yellowtail Crudo. Super delicious and great starters!“

“Best food I've had around the area. workers super friendly. Highly recommend 💖“

“Awesome place! I really loved the atmosphere and the DJ was on point with the music... Yes they had an DJ when we were there! Don't know if this a weekend thing but we were lucky. Food was really good and the service was excellent! Will be coming back. The only thing I personally recommend is for the mango blended margaritas to actually look and taste like mango. I was expecting a yellow looking one but it was pale and it tasted like a regular margarita. Other than that everything was good.“

“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.

don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.“

“Wings, Spin fries, flat pizza ,nachos and drinks never a dull moment 😊“

“Finney’s Crafthouse in Brea is an absolute favorite! The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends or enjoy a casual night out.
The food is outstanding—everything from the burgers to the appetizers is packed with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. Their craft beer selection is impressive, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who make sure you have a great experience from start to finish. Whether you're there for food, drinks, or both, Finney’s Crafthouse never disappoints. Highly recommended!“
