“How I love this neighborhood club! People are friendly and fun. I stopped by early on a Saturday night and was dazzled by Xmas decorations they just put up for the season and a great new band playing out for one of it's first gigs. As the band played to an enthusiastic audience, everyone in the room felt like we were sharing something special.
Drinks are delicious and affordable, they don't charge for water- even bubbly water! Drop in!“

“I didn't even know this place existed until a neighbor took me here. Its very spacious it's super clean and it's definitely much better than most neighborhood bars. I actually thought this place was a liquor store in passing. Sally is a great bartender. Very personable and a joy to converse with. There's 3 pool tables and ample room for a crowd.“

“Came here after seeing Wicked at the Pantages. What can I say? Joe is a phenomenal bartender. Makes one hell of a cosmo.

This is definitely a dive bar. Very small, phenomenal atmosphere. Definitely a place to go when you want a little adventure alone.“

“The absolute best combination of dive bar and arcade you could ask for! It was the bartenders first day (sorry I forgot your name) but he was friendly, engaging and knew his stuff about the games. Cash only, which is honestly part of the charm. Highly recommended!“

“Should b called Lakewood’s Best kept secret!! Hahahaa those that kno...then ya kno!!“

“Love to dance at this place and I have for a couple years now !! Bartenders are the most awesome people here , sweet and and attentive to customers, drinks are over the top and delicious!! Come here on a Friday or Saturday when it’s super fun booming with people, my favorite bartender?? CELINE!!!❤️❤️“

“Great "Hidden" off the beatn path. Dark (New York Style), Old, Wooden Historic Bar!!With stong *Inexpensive* drinks! Located in a haunted hotel. Yup!! (All my photos taken there seemed to have disappeared????)

Parking: Park on street paid. Can find some "unmetered spots." But can park in hotel and get validated.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes its wheelchair friendly.“

“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. ITS NOT TOO SPACIOUS, BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP IT FROM BEING A RELAXING SPOT TO GO CHILL WITH YOUR PEOPLE. I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE. WELL NOT EVERYONE, ONLY 21 YRS AND OLD“

“It's a good place if you just want to have a beer and just chill if you like the dive bar atmosphere bartender ladies are awesome, occasional DJ that plays good music and they're starting to get rid of the riff Raff so locals can now come and enjoy“

“Great local hangout! The regulars are fun and the bartenders are entertaining! Great service too!🥰😍😘“

“Amazing bar, Jose was very nice; an amazing and attentive bartender. He made us feel very welcomed and made sure everything was on point!

The place is very cozy with a nice terrace where you can smoke while having your drink. I had a great time!

A place I would highly recommend.“

“Fun, Great drinks, friendly bartenders, and Friday Night Karaoke!“

“met the owner. nice guy!! loves the steelers...nuff said!“

“Good food, friendly service. Been here several times and everything has been good. Also, they have cold beer :)“

“This medium-small, former cool dive bar was bought out by a corporate entity that has changed the vibe of this place for the worse, I'm sorry to say. Real money isn't even good enough for this place--it's no cash allowed! How crazy is that? They must love paying those fees to the banks! Wait, WE'RE the ones paying those bank fees as it's included in the prices. I hate this policy. It's unAmerican not to accept our currency. Who do they think they are? Not everyone has a card with money on it. I guess if u don't, you're probably not welcome here. Metal detectors at the door, then they wand u again for entry. Purses get searched too. The security here seems excessive overall with security guys watching u everywhere. It's unnerving + a buzzkill.
On the positive side, the live music presentation of this club is well done. Nice stage size--not too big, waist high so everyone can get a good view of the bands. Smaller sized audience area so you feel up-close + personal. Excellent sound system + monitors, sound guy is quick + very good at his job, + lighting is nice. It IS undeniably a good place to see + hear a band.
What's crazy is there's nowhere to sit inside, not even a bench along the wall. How lame is that? Gen X says Thumbs Down + my disabled BF was not happy about it. Large outdoor patio is the only place with any seating.
Decent drink variety here but all come in a can, even the cocktails. Mix of craft beers + bubbly fruity drinks, mainstream beers + pre-mixed cocktails at standard bar prices. No cash allowed, remember.
Overall, if a band i want to see is playing here, I'll go again. But this place no longer has any warmth or personality so I'd never go there to just hang out. It's become just another corporate venue now. The Echo has no parking lot. Street parking is busy but possible plus there are 2 big paid parking lots around the corner. Next door is a pizza slice place + ice cream place too if u get hungry.“

“It's a classic 50s or 60s local dive cocktail lounge with great dinners that are reasonably priced!“

“Always a great time at knucklehead especially on CholoGothNight! 🤘🏽🦇⛓️“

“get it. putos!!!!This place is lit.“

“As a dive bar kinda guy, this place really resonates with me. Love that the pours are good (Sara at least) and cheap - $5 for a well whiskey sour or a full pour of wine, $7 for call whiskey rocks. Cash only which is OK, just know ahead of time. And went there last night with my daughter for a quick drink before dinner - loud, obnoxious drunk group of sketchy dudes in the booth beside us. Lots of cussing and vulgarity which is fine with me but it was loud enough to be distracting and the bartender didn't really do or say anything to them, which may have been uncomfortable and awkward so I get it.“

“Very friendly and fun place“

“I performed a Blues concert there this week in their large music hall & library with bar which adjoins a very busy bar room playing old school
recorded R&B. It's a lively and fun place to hang. There's cocktails, beer, music and pool tables. A diverse friendly crowd. They let you Postmate or bring food. There's even an outdoor patio.“

“Very good place, friendly bartender very good cocktails 🍹“

“The Thai food is on point“

“Karoeke night was Fun! They have a fancy way of scheduling their list to sing (screen recording included). The bar has a pool table, chill vibes, super friendly staff (cash only) and overall friendly patrons.Oh and Olga's Cocina food truck stopped by and their food is amazing! I didn't get a picture of the food I ate it too fast lol.“

“I came here on a whim after wanting to avoid the crowds at Zebulon. Honestly this bar is a hidden gem, and thank god it hasn’t been flipped upside down and turned into condos. The outside is a neon lit heaven from the 1960s. You enter and the staff are warm from the get go. There is a left and a right side to the bar: The right side is a sizable dance floor complete with a gigantic disco ball, Dj booth, a couple leather booths, and panther sculptures. They played disco and funk this very day and the crowd was diverse and cool. The left side is the bar where there a probably 5 or six extremely comfortable retro leather booths. They have a great tequila selection but you can also order a $4 Tecate. My kind of joint full of vibe that i can’t wait to try again!“

“A toda madre un des madre“

“the bartenders are amazing always good vibes and great peaple“

“The highlight though, and is just my opinion is the staff let me take a few balls as souvenirs and been using them at my office for ping pong. Score!I'll probably be back just for drinks and light bites, but don't really envision renting out another table for ping pong. I'll stick to free ping pong at the office. =)“

“This was the first place I came once I hit my grand 21. I absolutely love it. Diana is a sweetheart, she treats you like family, I've been coming here almost a year now. I'm on a first name basis with most of the bartenders, they're all great, I absolutely feel welcomed and valued here. I try to come here at least once a month, I love the ambiance here. The patrons here are always friendly and welcoming ❤ They're the best of the best here. 10/10 recommend. They're very hospitable here, they'll never let your cup go empty, the servers are on the ball here. If you want to have a great night and make good memories, come to Froggy's Bar and Grill.“

“If your into square dancing and finger samich's well your going to love this hidden jewel! Snug harbor is stashed away in a little corner AND the best bartender/sqaredancer/samich maker from the hidaway works there now.. So suit and boot in your best sqare suit and cha-cha on in and YOU WELL be welcomed as if it's a surprise party just for you.. go with God and I am outta here...“

“Great djs. Fun night events“

“Small bars usually offer a casual yet friendly and relaxing atmosphere.
• Staff Attitude: Most small bar staff are warm and welcoming. Unlike fine dining restaurants, they tend to be more engaging, often chatting with guests, recommending drinks, and even remembering regular customers’ preferences.
• Serving Speed: Since the main focus of a bar is alcoholic beverages, the food may take longer to be served compared to a regular restaurant. However, most bars offer quick-prep bar snacks to complement the drinks.
• Personalized Service: Some small bars provide customized cocktails based on customers’ tastes or offer hidden menu options to enhance the experience.“

“This bar has some of the best drinks and atmosphere in all of Los Angeles. Service was top notch as the bartenders and managers went above and beyond. This will always be my go to bar in the are and I cannot recommend it enough for great drinks, music, vibes, and people.“

“Great local bar, drinks are affordable service is friendly and tvs have local sports. Perfect day care for Dad’s. Ladies leave your husbands in good hands!“

“It's so great to have a bar within walking distance of the Blvd!“

“I enjoyed this place good bartender and a fun and exciting place“

“First place I’ve seen with exceptional AC feels like an actual fan , on their dance floor. Amazing at cooling it down. On Dodgers Game days go early you will be in line. Super fun but small. $11 wells and $8 hard ciders/kombuchas/seltzers. Happy hour is 4-7 I think ?“
