“Great locals bar to visit. Friendly to randoms on both sides of the bar. Not an extensive liquor selection - ordering a negroni was a no-go. Shockingly excellent burger for being grilled indoors behind the bar. I heard a regular say they get their meat from the butcher shop next door. I'll definitely be back for another burger”

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.”

“Brought some friends there to watch playoff football and a ufc fight. Ended up having the best filet mignon of my life. So tender you could slice through it with the side of your fork. Had fresh oysters from Virginia, which I was told are only $2 on Tuesday or Wednesday (have to fact check here). And probably the best thing on the menu is the bacon wrapped plantains, not a lot of food, but every bite is heaven. Wife loved her fancy drinks, but I prefer scotch.”

“Our church, Triedstone MBC, just hosted a luncheon for our leadership team. It was catered by Darrow’s New Orleans Grill. We were very pleased with our experience. The food was delicious. And the service was great! They arrived early. And the food was hot. The owner, Norwood, presented the food with a very appetizing description of each entree. Everyone loved it! Additionally, the portions were very generous. And everyone went back for seconds. At Triedstone, we do everything with excellence. And Darrow’s definitely met the challenge. We say, “Thank You” to Norwood and his entire staff. We look forward to doing more business with you in the near future. Sincerely Submitted, Pastor Quentin T.

We shared the cheese plate and gen ceasar and the servings are quite large and perfect for sharing. The BBQ scottish salmon is a real standout and the fries and blistered spinach great sides. They also have a very nice selection of wines by the glass. The staff is very attentive and we enjoyed the night thoroughly.”

“Note: I only gave the food a 3-star because we didn't order anything and were provided with some complimentary chips and there was not a N/A option. I'm not a connoisseur of wines or spirits, but this speakeasy was extremely enjoyable. It is a great way to start or end a meal at Scopa and we enjoyed the experience immensely. The bartender was knowledgable, friendly, and conversational. We were there for almost two hours and it felt like 15 minutes. The ambiance was quiet yet exciting, and listening to the maitre de and bartender tell us about the history of the location, some of the spirits, and just general conversation made this unforgetable.”

Their second set may start around 10:45 if you'd like a bit more room. No snacks, no food, no nonsense...just as good a band as you'll ever see in a space this small. Tommy will take care of you behind the bar. Guinness can, served in a glass, $10 in June 2026. Enjoy!”

“What an incredible gem of Los Angeles that Sam First is! The atmosphere is absolutely incredible, comfortable seating, amazing acoustics, and a pervasive but not overwhelming jazz vibe that really sets this place apart from any other bar in LA. Every seat has a great earshot of the stage, and the drinks (of the few that I’ve had off the enormous menu) have really hit the mark. I highly recommend Sam First if you are looking for a date night, just make sure you don’t talk during the set, or bring friends, family, anyone. This is amazing experience and I can’t wait to visit again!”

“The atmosphere is popping here! Excellent DJ, very welcoming people, and good vibes. The only downside is that it is a very small place for the number of people that arrive; no dance floor, only one pool table, and hard to order a drink because of the very crowded bar. However, it is a very good spot for the Black community and for anyone, of course. Everyone was so happy to be here. This was my first time visiting, and I am confident I have found a new local to hang out at.”
