Sure, it looks shady as hell but it's honestly one of the nicest dives you're gonna find. They have darts and a pool table. A smoking area out back, with a fence and tables and such, instead of open alleyway access which facilitates a myriad of odd experiences or interactions. The beer selection isn't noteworthy but try a cocktail or something, you'll see why people keep coming back.

It's a hole in the wall and people wouldn't want it any different.

Good bar, great people. Places like this are a dying breed. Was the highlight of my trip, after dealing with the other typical LA image driven douchbaggery.

Introduced to me by a local friend. Low key. Locals bar. Pool table, dart boards, outdoor seating (for smokers), stiff drinks at a reasonable price, and the memories made here are priceless. You never know what's gonna happen or who's gonna show up.

I am a pool player and I usually only go to bars that have at least one table. Michael's is a great little bar to go shoot pool, especially during the day, and not have to wait in a long list of players to get a chance to play on a valley box. Michael's is a member of the local APA Pool League, so the table is a standard size and is in pretty good condition. During the afternoon the number of players increase and usually by the evening the list of names can get pretty long. (And, like I mentioned before, some evenings they have league.) But, while you wait they have two dart board/game machines, several televisions, music/jukebox, nice outdoor seating behind the bar, a couple of game consoles on either end of the bar, etc...I don't really drink, but from what I hear and from the few drinks I have purchased, the prices and the quality are decent. The bartenders are great and they all have been with the place forever. It's a great bar, full of locals that are friendly.

I go to Michaels Pub when ever I'm in town. Love it.
I liked this spot.. it's a charming bar with strong cocktails. We tried the Montehattan & the From Milano with Love, both good drinks. Even though we were there for Happy hour on a Sunday (5:30-7:30pm) it wasn't too packed which I enjoyed. Minimal options for food (I think I only saw a cheese plate on the menu) but certainly a good bar to checkout if you're looking for a relaxing spot to have a few drinks.
Awesome dive! Great people
