50 Best Bars near La Puente

“the best food and the best service“

“Great sports and beer bar. They have lots of TVs playing a variety of games. Their beer list is pretty good where they mix the standard beer selections with local craft beer selections. Service is always great...they serve by committee so you can order and ask question from whatever server is nearby. Very good food for a beer/sports bar.“

“This is THE BEST fine dining steakhouse in North OC with a vibrant, classy atmosphere. From the steaks and seafood to the cocktails and old-fashioneds… everything is amazing. We’ve been patrons since it opened and would even order takeout (even old-fashioneds to go!) during the pandemic. A splurge but absolutely worth it.“

“Great place to come and hangout.“

“We were able to catch the game!“

“Very cool dive bar with good value pricing on food and drink!“

“Hungry Bird is new in town, and I’m lucky enough to live just a few blocks away. This was my first visit, and I loved it! Everything looked and tasted delicious. They have chicken, beef, seafood, and pork skewers, plus noodles and sushi rolls. I came for the skewers, and I’d definitely come back to try more.

Thank you, Hungry Bird!

— One happy, hungry customer“

“ITS A REALLY COOL, CHILL SPOT TO HAVE A FEW BEERS AT. THE BARTENDER LADY IS THE BEST. SHE IS ON TOP OF WHATEVER IT IS THAT SHE HAS TO DO. MY BROTHER AND WILL GO EVERY OTHER WEEK. WE'LL HAVE A FEW BEERS AND PLAY ON THEIR DART MACHINES. IT'S A REALLY GREAT ENVIRONMENT IN THERE ALL THE TIME.

“Great beer and food. Recommend the firecracker shrimp appetizer“

“I dont know what you are looking for when you get the cheapest beers in town and the least expensive billiards game at the same time....but just in case those were the two things you sought out tonight....this would be the place. People come and go and the regulars are awesome welcoming and understanding. What else can I say about a place????“

“Killer entertainment. Go Latin Soul Band.“

“It had been nearly 15 years since my last visit. I must say the decor is exactly as I remembered. Took 3 minutes to be seated then we were greeted by the most friendly and attentive waiter I’ve EVER had at any restaurant . I’m a huge lover of the cabbage salad so I gorged on a big bowl before dinner. I ordered a medium rare fillet and potato and it was cooked to perfection. I so wish I lived nearby as I would pay it a regular visit. I’m so glad the Clearmans Northwoods inn has not been changed.“

“So I usually do this when I go out of town, I goggle dive bar near me, well this is it. A good place for drinks and karaoke on a Wednesday night with KJ Helen, just come on in and just blend in. Sing a song, no one knows you anyway, Once you visit, you'll be telling yourself the next morning, yes that was a dive bar. Say Hi to the lovely always polite bartender Nancy.“

“Thursday Nights !! A+ Bartender Rosie goes above and beyond . I’m not only if she friendly and acknowledges any and every person who walks in she’s not like other bartenders I’ve seen other establishments who are on their phone more than they are working. She brings in a collective of different patrons all friendly Never once not felt safe when I am there It’s a shame the other Bartenders at this places sister establishment in Covina were as well Trained as Rosie. Or even new had to make a drink Tina’s Tavern Thursdays Hands down the place to be“

“Love how you can buy food from Whole Foods salad bar and come in and enjoy it at Shuffle Bar. It's connected to Whole Foods, so it makes sense. It's never crowded, and there's a decent size t.v where you can watch sports games and get a cold adult beverage.
You can order food from the Shuffle Bar menu as well. It might be a better option, especially for hot items. It will be served warm and fresh.“

“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.“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“Always a great time at Shady Nook“

“Nothing short of amazing! My family and I found this restaurant/ bar on yelp and planned my sisters 21st birthday here. The staff was truly amazing and helped us make it a memorable night full of fun and laughter and great live music! If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you everyone!“

“Quick and friendly service! Every bite of food was like the first! Wonderful Cadilllac Margarita!“

“nice place to have a cold one“

“it's a true neighborhood bar“

“This historic building is home to friendly spirits that are present at every event. The food here is delicious, the drinks reasonably priced, the karaoke low key and friendly, the bands and DJs high energy.“

“Nice spot, service very friendly, they jam on good music I got me a double up fruit cup it was so good you gotta try it“

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

“Very nice and good service“

“Comedy night is a blast on Sundays. I’ve been here twice now and I think it’s a great little club/bar“

“We stopped by Barrio’s Pizza around 11:15 AM for lunch, and it was already pretty busy! Ryan helped us out, and the cashier was super friendly and welcoming.

One thing I really liked was that when you walk up to the counter to order, you can actually see the pizzas being made. Everything looked delicious before we even ordered. You can definitely tell they put a lot of effort into their pizza craft. We ordered a small pepperoni pizza, mojos, and some hot wings.

The pepperoni pizza was DELICIOUS! I especially loved how perfectly toasted the bottom of the crust was. Every time we took a bite, you could hear that crunch, which I absolutely loved. The crust had such a nice texture, and the pizza was definitely the highlight of our meal.

For the mojos and hot wings, I’d give them a 7/10. The mojos were good, but I felt like they could’ve used a little more seasoning/flavor. The wings were also good, but I would’ve loved them a little spicier and cooked just a bit more. Overall, I’d give the food an 8/10. Everything was good, and I’d definitely come back for that pizza!

The restaurant itself was also super clean, which is always a huge plus. They even have an arcade area where you can play games and win stuffed animals, cards, and other prizes. Super cool, especially if you’re coming with kids or just want to have some fun while you’re there.

You can also tell this place probably gets really lively during sports games. Between the pizza, arcade games, and atmosphere, it seems like a fun spot to grab some food and hang out. Overall, we had a good experience at Barrio’s Pizza, and that crispy pepperoni pizza alone is worth coming back for.“

“Great Karaoke DJ, very handsome, amazing actually 😂“

“Great food my new favorite place...“

“I stopped by Maggie’s Pub & Banquet Hall and it feels like a classic neighborhood pub with a lot more space than you’d expect. The place is pretty big, with a large bar area and a separate banquet hall that’s often used for parties and events. It has that relaxed, old-school pub vibe where people come to watch sports, grab drinks, and hang out with friends.

The menu is mostly comfort bar food. I tried a fish and chips plate and some wings, and they were solid—simple, satisfying, and perfect with a cold beer. Some popular items here include seafood dishes, sandwiches, and classic pub plates like prime rib or pastrami sandwiches.

One thing that stands out is the venue size. The banquet hall can host large events with hundreds of guests, so the place often holds parties, comedy nights, or special celebrations.

Overall, it’s not a fancy restaurant, but if you’re looking for a casual pub with drinks, live events, and hearty comfort food near Los Angeles, Maggie’s Pub is a fun spot to check out.“

“Perfect to have a good time with family and friends.“

“Nice atmosphere, and good service . Food was okay . Not sure what else to write in order for this to post 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“I was there for a 30 yr old birthday with a friend and it was a nice atmosphere Kareoke was good lots of nice voices ( I can make a choir out of them) LOL. All in all it good. But I left early cause I don't like staying out to late so 10ish was a good time to go home.“

“Cool dive bar hidden away from the trendy beaten path. Cheapest drinks in town. Strongest drinks in town. Don’t believe me, try it out. You’ll have found your new watering hole! 3 big TVs 2 diamond pool tables 2 dart boards. Open 365 7a-2a every day!

Wheelchair accessibility: They are wheelchair accessible. Has a lowered section of the bar just for handicapped. Bathrooms are also wheelchair accessible. I spent 8 months in a wheelchair and was accommodated excellently“

“GREAT PLACE TO HANG OUT GOOD BARTENDERS GREAT PRICES $$ AND THE OWNER IS PART OF THE CREW MAKING YOU FEEL WELCOME STOP IN AND HAVE A COLD BEER FOR THE DODGER GAME“

“This is place has the best events and open mics ! They also hold game nights with karaoke and food is delicious especially the popcorn chicken and dumplings 🥟! Place is only open during private events/parties or during big sports events! If you’re looking for a place to get a beer and hang out for live music this is the place in El Monte !!!“

“Great service and the food was delicious!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“We had dinner at Wistaria last night and the food was delicious (we had the beet and goat cheese salad and the trout almondine and salmon dishes). We had such a positive experience that we decided to make this our go-to restaurant whenever we are in the area. I actually decided to write this review because of the kind service--after I left. I was convinced that I had left my cell phone at the restaurant (my phone had died and my apple watch indicated that the phone was there), and the staff person who answered the phone kindly looked for it and then patiently explained that if the phone had died, my apple watch may be indicating its last known location, but not its present location. She was right, and I soon found my phone--with a completely dead battery. Nevertheless, I appreciated her taking the time to reassure me--despite how busy I know that staff can be at that restaurant. We had planned to return for the wonderful food, but now we will definitely be returning for the delicious food, charming atmosphere, and more-than-helpful service!“

“It’s a safe and enjoyable place to relax and have a great time.“
