“Pretty much the only bar I went to before the quarantine, and I am thankful they have created a socially distanced patio so I can start going back.“

“Love, love, love! This place has the cutest vibe and great stuff! The charcuterie boards are so good! I’ve tried the cold brew as well very good! This time we decided to get rosé. They have a great wine selection and their staff are so sweet! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“The Manager is the best, wonderful to guest. The food delicious. The plates are big. The place clean and the vibe is peaceful and classy. Each spot with it's own music so you don't miss out. The apple delicious desert. Took me back to Virginia, known for the apple pie's. 🍎“

“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.“

“It's a small dolphins bar. Glad we came, My boyfriend is a huge dolphins and heat fan. Everyone who came cheered on the dolphins and they won the game. Seats were filled and packed with dolphin fans! It was great. I found one seat at the bar and the owner Tony was really nice. Got me a beer right away and my friends came we enjoyed a pizza from Lucifers from down the st and enjoyed the night.

Parking: Parking is on the street. And you can find any spot nearby. It's not a far walk. Or behind the bar too..

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheel chair accessible. Wide wall ways when entering the bar“

“Great with DJ music at Patio“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“Fun spot to hang out and an amazing selection of beers.“

“Ive been hanging out here for over 25 years.. Great place, Great bartenders and Atmosphere.“

“Love this NoHo hidden gem of a bar, very local and passer through friendly.

Parking is the biggest obstacle in the area as it's only street, but it's worth it. Great drinks, prices, places to sit, hang, and enjoy an afternoon or night.

The jukebox is digital and stacked with everything your heart could desire. Flat screens in the main bar area.

Huge spacious patio with picnic style tables or a few couches.

Water dispensers are usually available out here as well.

Pool table + indoor lounge area that is first come, first serve unless there's a party who has reserved this area.

Michelle is the coolest bartender. Very go with the flow.

Drink specials daily, typically on Whiskey.

Open every day of the week from 5pm to close.

Note: If their door is locked at or just after 5pm give it a knock. They might wait to open it if there's no one around for safety reasons.“

“We used the place for a scene in a film. The place was really impressive. As a musician I usually find it hard to play gigs in smaller spaces. But this place is modern and updated. The stage is nice with plenty of room for a drum kit and still move around. They have nice stage lighting and an overall good musical club vibe. I will definitely book shows at this club for my band. It is a great spot for live shows.“

“Wonderful wine bar with a top notch Somm. Will definitely be back“

“I recently spent the day at the Roosevelt Pool and the service was absolutely amazing. I started at the bar with a bartender named Craig, who was outstanding. He was so professional and made the best cocktails ever. He made my time there so enjoyable. My server was Shonda, and she was beautiful, kind, and incredibly attentive. She had the best attitude and I couldn’t have asked for a better waitress. A runner named Gabriel was fast and made sure I had anything else I needed, and I was truly grateful.

It was a really nice day to finish off summer with my best friend. The burger was so good, cooked perfectly, and I truly enjoyed it. My only disappointment was that fries weren’t included, and the burger was $30. Fries should definitely come with it for that price, but overall it was a great meal and an amazing experience.“

“Didn’t feel like driving into town for my birthday (the big party was planned for another day in Marina Del Rey), so we decided to keep it simple and have a nice, quiet early dinner at the speakeasy at Sidecar. I’ve always been curious about this spot, and to my surprise, it’s actually Santa Clarita’s very first speakeasy… how cool is that?

We’ve been loyal fans of their sister restaurant next door for years …it’s our go-to for breakfast, brunch, or dinner … so trying Sidecar felt like the perfect next step. And wow… what a great choice! The cocktails were excellent. They made my Old Fashioned exactly the way I like it, and my partner loved their gin and tonics. The servers were absolutely wonderful (I feel so bad I forgot their names!) and made the evening feel extra special.

The vibe is warm, cozy, and stylish … perfect for a relaxed night out. Honestly, it was such a sweet way to kick off my birthday celebrations. We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“This was my first time here. The valet price wasn’t insanely expensive. Upon walking in, I literally felt like I was in an LA (proper) hotspot. It was busy, thus a bit loud; but it went with the vibe of the restaurant. (Good thing, not a negative one.) It looks like a great place for first dates, date night, girls night out… Maaaybe not for for families with little kids. I work with children and I adore them, however I suggest getting a sitter for the night so everyone can enjoy the ambience. The service was amazing, Mary was very knowledgeable about the menu and helpful with suggestions. Everyone at the table loved their dishes, there were zero complaints. Our friend’s daughter works there and was able to pop out to say hello and goodbye. I cannot wait to go back and try everything else on the menu.“

“We did not try the food, but the place looked clean and I would eat here. The bartender was fun and attentive. The DJ was having a great time and spinning a great mix of 80's, 90's and general good tunes. The clientele were nice and we had several conversations with guests. We will come back.“

“Bring cash! Better yet a roll of quarters to play games, though they do have change machines if you forget. Decent variety of arcade games with some fun older pinball machines. Fun themed drinks. They have karaoke and trivia on different nights. Fun place for a goup.“

“very chill place and lots of fun“

“wonderful atmosphere ..and people“

“Love the family treatment and my beers are always cold and tasty!“

“I stopped here to watch the Dodgers World Series game 1. This is the local dive bar, the crowd was loud but the Dodgers had a walkoff home run so I was expecting some noise. Pool table was old school, only a quarter to play with a chalkboard of who’s next. I had a fun evening and the lady behind the bar bought me a beer, how often does that ever happen. A five star evening for me!“

“NOW OPEN!!!!!!!! Stop by and have a cold One!!!!!!“

“O’Grady’s in Granada Hills is the kind of spot you go to for a good drink and end up staying because the vibe is just right. The energy’s great, the music’s always on point, and the drinks definitely hit the spot.

But let’s be real , she is the real star of the show is Courtney behind the bar. She doesn’t just pour drinks, she makes the whole night better. Quick with a smile, sharper with a comeback, and she’s got this charm that makes you wonder if she’s mixing drinks or just straight-up magic. I came in for a cocktail and left wondering how someone can make bartending look that good.

If you’re looking for a place where the atmosphere is fun and the company is even better, O’Grady’s is it. And if Courtney’s working? Let’s just say you’re in for more than just a great drink.

First time I have ever been but last time I will look for a bar! Ive gone back 4 nights in a row hoping courtney is working... she needs more days on!!

Dannie and Mary Lou are super nice to.“

“I’ve been coming to this spot since it was the Celtic Raven, and I happened to walk in on Chela’s Cantina during its soft launch. I’ve been a regular ever since day one. The owner is phenomenal, and the crowd it attracts is just as great! friendly, welcoming, and full of good vibes.

There’s always something to do here: enjoy music, grab some food and drinks, hop on karaoke, or play a round of pool. While the alcohol selection is smaller compared to bigger bars, it actually introduced me to wine spirits and gave me a new appreciation for trying something different.

If you’re looking for a small, local atmosphere with a strong sense of community, I highly recommend Chela’s Cantina. It’s truly a hidden gem!“

“Great atmosphere that travels you back in time to the rock’n roll era, mb it’s also because of the patrons there and how A-list they look even if they’re not (chances are likely most of them are)We were staying at the Sunset Marquis and just walked in on a Saturday and had amazing cocktails so it was a good experience“

“Most Definitely a good time and had been most supportive. I apologize if I was A BIT new at learning ... appreciate you guys! It's all at ONCE. All heavy on my mind and physically challenged. For Free States FFS- Mona Li5E LA dust2 and aztec2 ZE TE ETEZ“

“It’s a fun pub and the only place in wizarding world to get alcohol (mainly ciders, beers). And alcohol makes a theme park visit better. It’s a nicely themed pub attached to the three broomsticks. There’s is an animatronic hog’s head behind the counter

This review is only for the Hogs Head pub since I think food should be part of the three broomsticks.

If you don’t want alcohol you can get butter beer. I recommend trying the frozen or warm butter beer, you can even add a shot of fireball whiskey to it.

For drinks, they focus on their “themed” drinks which is some ales, ciders and stouts. Probably my favorite place to get a drink at USH for the atmosphere and venue

Tip: Look up their secret menu

Two I recommend:

The Triple (Deathly Hallows), which is a three layered drink of cider, hog’s head brew and topped with guinness. It’s the same price as the black and tan and other drinks

Hog’s tea - their strongest drink which is basically their take on a Long Island iced tea.“

“*Unexpected Gem - My New Go-To Spot!*

I'll admit, I didn't expect to fall in love with El Potro Bar. At first glance, I thought it might not be my vibe, but boy was I wrong! This hidden gem has become my regular haunt, and for good reason.

The real stars of the show are bartenders Alejandra and Raquel. They're two of the kindest, most attentive, skilled and attractive bartenders I've encountered in ages. Their warm smiles, quick wit, and expertly crafted drinks make every visit a delight.

Sure, the atmosphere might be laid-back and slow-paced, but that's exactly what I've grown to appreciate. No pretentiousness, just genuine hospitality and a cozy ambiance that makes me feel right at home.

Alejandra and Raquel know their stuff, always willing to offer recommendations or whip up something special. Their passion shines through in every pour, and it's infectious.

Don't let the slow pace fool you - El Potro Bar has become my favorite spot to unwind, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a perfectly chilled beer.

*Recommendations:* Come on Thursday and Ask Alejandra for a bucket of cold beers!

*Will I return?* Absolutely, and with friends in tow!“

“I hear their karaoke guy is amazing. Thirsty Thursday Karaoke!!! 8-11pm“

“Topanga Social has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the Valley. We went to STK for dinner and had a fantastic time. The restaurant has a lively yet classy atmosphere that feels both modern and comfortable. It’s the kind of place that works equally well for a special celebration or a casual night out.

The food at STK was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted like it was prepared with care, and portion sizes were just right. From start to finish, the quality really stood out. Service was just as impressive. Our server was attentive without hovering, answered all our questions, and kept everything moving at a great pace. Drinks, recommendations, timing—it all felt effortless, which made the evening that much more enjoyable.

After dinner, we went to the movie theatres at Topanga Social, and that was the perfect way to round out the night. The theatres were spotless, well-designed, and very comfortable. The reclining seats were a highlight, and the sound and screen quality were excellent. It was easy to relax and enjoy the movie without a single distraction.

What I love most about Topanga Social is that it combines everything in one place—great dining, entertainment, and a vibrant atmosphere. It feels like a destination rather than just a stop, and that makes it special. STK delivered on all fronts, and the theatres added an extra touch that made the whole evening memorable.

Five stars all the way—we’ll definitely be back!“

“Stopped by the backdrop lounge while waiting for some friends and I just say your bartender was awesome !!! She not only is friendly and approachable she is very knowledgeable about the area. She recommended places to go dancing, watch comedy shows and made my waiting fly bye. Will definitely be coming back to be served the best chilled drinks by Olivia !!“

“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“

“Traveled many the miles to come to this bar. Best experience in LA and easily the most delicious bespoke cocktails. Michael knows his craft damn well and will care to teach you. This is a must stop when in town. Much love to Kelly and Michael. Can’t wait to be back.“

“Had such a great time last night , great bartenders , loved my drinks and Jell-O shots ... u can actually taste the alcohol not like other bars .... I recommend this place , they made me feel welcomed“

“Exellent !!!!!!! Good service !!!!“

“Alcohol always makes a theme park visit better

If you’re into rum based drinks, this is the bar you go to. It’s located in the lower lot and Lines can get pretty long, it’s one of the more popular places for drinks at USH.

Three drinks I recommend here:

Jurassic Water - If you’re looking for something strong, this is probably your drink. Mix of different alcohols and one of the few drinks that isn’t all sugar. It does sell out pretty often so I’d get this one early in the day

Birds of Paradise - fruity flavors and refreshing. Not too strong but a good refreshing/tropical drink.

Isla Nublar IPA - It’s a USH “exclusive” (you can look up the brewery) a good beer. It’s more citrus fruit forward and less hoppy for an IPA. Flavorful and refreshing. For about $19 (Latge size) you get a take home souvenir “glass”

Generally the bar you go to for refreshing and fruity drinks at USH“

“I worked with Shane to purchase a new Jersey Jack machine and it was a great overall experience! Guy took his time to answer all my questions, was fair on pricing/shipping, and quickly responded with text updates as the game got ready for shipment. I highly recommend working with him for any of your new or used machine needs!“

“Great atmosphere and friendly service! I don’t make it to this area often, but when I do I make sure to bring friends to experience the vibe. Fans of Alice and Wonderland or The Matrix will dig it, but anyone who wants to experience a surreal bar is in for a treat!“

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

“I can't overstate how immaculate the vibes are. Its cash only and you'll want to learn some Spanish but you better bet that you're going to leave with at LEAST five new friends by the end of the night. Wonderful service, wonderful folks, GREAT music.“

“A Good Place To Dance For A While And Chat Friendlyly In A Good Atmosphere Due To The Covid Pandemic, 19 Has Been Closed At Least Since Friday They Already Done It! Open.? Some of you or the bar can see what has already been written and send me a text.“
