“Wonderful place Great drinks and food“

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!“

“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.“

“Cute stylish bar with good music!“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“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. 🍎“

“Amazing. I was surprised the first time I went. Such a beautiful decoration. Just amazing. The food is 100% healthy and hygienic. The staff's behavior is unparalleled. When I was confused the first time I went, they helped me very nicely. The owner's behavior is also amazing. Really very nice“

“We just held our company holiday party at The Corner Door and had the best time!

We were a group of about 40 and from the very beginning, Liz made the entire process so easy and stress free. She was always available with quick replies to questions, flexible with any requests we had made, and genuinely excited to have us and was just wonderful. I got to meet Zach the night of the event and he was exactly the same way. They both understand hospitality and made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The staff that night made amazing drinks and the food was delicious. On top of that, the room itself is already a beautiful space, but when we walked in and saw it decked out in the holiday lights, we knew right away we made the perfect choice in Corner Door. Everyone remarked on what a great time they had so thanks Corner Door for making it so special! We will be back!“

“Great atmosphere and the food was great!“

“The DJ it’s excelente it has a great sound and all kind of music“

“Always great times! Wonderful people, fabulous world class live music & sweet vibes. A real community feel. Filled with music lovers. Definitely a staple LA hott spot. Keep Supporting live music! 🔥🎶“

“One of my favorite restaurants authentic Latin cuisine. I have been coming here for over 30 years and was so sad when it closed down during the pandemic. So glad it reopened! Can’t wait 😜 to go back. I give it 5 stars for sure!“

“4.5 stars

The Alibi Room is the ultimate hangout spot, especially when you're reunited with old elementary school friends and teachers (yes, you read that right—grade school reunions are a thing). The service was friendly and on point, despite our large group.

Parking is classic LA—street parking, so be prepared to circle the block for 5-10 minutes. But once you're inside, it’s all good vibes. The drinks were spot-on: I had the Watermelon Margarita and the Gold Rush, both deliciously refreshing. And let’s not forget the Kogi tacos—I always go for the short rib beef and spicy pork. They never disappoint.

With bar seating, cozy couches, and outdoor tables, The Alibi Room is a fun, chill spot for drinks, tacos, and a good time with friends.“

“First let me say I gave the food 5 stars but actually I didn't try it so I just kept everything five stars. I was in town for a funeral and I needed somewhere to go and have a drink shoot a game of pool and relax. I stopped by this place and everyone was very friendly including the bartender Michelle and they made me feel like I was a regular. When some of the guests found out that I was in town for a funeral some of them offered drinks to me and my family for our loss. This is a friendly place and I felt at home and I would definitely come back here and recommend that you try it as well.“

“Great experience with a great staff and the owners are super welcoming! Had an amazing time!“

“Good vibes, amazing drinks, awesome music, and top-notch service, what more could you ask for?“

“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.“

“In Culver city ..Chill Vibes..Great Date Night Venue“

“The Cinema Bar is everything you want in a local spot — laid-back vibes, strong drinks, live music that actually slaps, and a crowd that feels like instant friends. It’s got that old-school charm you can’t fake. Whether you’re catching a band, hanging on the patio, or just sipping a whiskey solo, this place always hits the right note. No pretension, just good times. West LA gem for sure.“

“Old school since 1972. It originally opened in 1955 as the Bowspirit.“

“Please give George - who I renamed GMoney - a raise! In all seriousness, he made me (a California newbie) feel so welcome and happy while I was out here visiting my daughter... beyond words. He was amazing and nothing like the East Coast bartenders I’ve been used to! A wonderful night was had because of him!“

“The Bel is now my go to spot for celebrations. Jeremy & Maria are incredibly hospitable and took great care of me and my friends for a birthday! They squeezed us in super last minute at a table and we had an amazing time! Can’t wait to go back and try more of the food, kitchen, bar & vibes we’re 10/10“

“An unexpected escape to a comfortable listening lounge. It’s an intimate space—with a mix of bench seating along the walls and tables and chairs in the middle.

Performers we’ve seen here have been top-notch. Seeing a nine piece jazz band was a highlight!

Food is also pretty good, and drinks are even better. We’ll definitely be back for more shows!“

“A go to gay bar in Weho. This place is so welcoming and the staff are all great. Lots of tvs with m various sports playing. On the most recent trip they had a live DJ who played great music at the perfect volume for the entire time we were there. Love their trivia night, and especially enjoy coming to their happy hour for a snack and some great bar bites!“

“One of a kind whiskey-craft beer neighborhood tavern/pub. Absolute Santa Monica / westside institution.“

“Fun ambiance, good drink selection and it's easy to meet nice people as they host lots of events here.“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“The drinks are good and friendly people. Great vibes!“

“Various delays had us coming back here, but Bartender David is the atmosphere. Super friendly, offered chargers, suggested other seats for vicinity to outlets, can bring food in, let us try samples of the seasonal beer. 10/10 spot to hang out during a flight delay. This is the better place to people watch in T7 at LAX by far.“

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

“staff is AWESOME, food is delicious. very clean amd comfortable. and of course Top 5 Answers Sundays at pm is a blast“

“Fun place , great staff , love the decor and of course awesome Kombucha 😋“

“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.“

“Absolutely Phenomenal! Ann and her staff were excellent. The food was perfect. The night was perfect. The restaurant is perfect. You get what you pay for and everything in life. This is well worth it.“

“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.“

“Shoutout to Tanner, the bartender last night. He was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made the experience better. Great energy, great hospitality, and solid drink recommendations. My friend and I both felt taken care of from start to finish. Big props to Tanner—he’s a huge asset to the bar. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I love this place! They are new and hit just the bar spot this area has been needing.“

“great quaity and bartenders too excellenlt martinis and suberb wine“

“Best steak and service . Say hi to Hillary she is the best !!!“

“Great food, reasonably priced drinks and great servers!“

“This place was awesome, super local clientele. The food was nice, server was really busy but did a decent job, the restaurant was pretty slammed when we got there. We ordered the salmon and the chicken plate. Both were great, we also ordered the Cesar which was really good. Would recommend for sure, would go back.“

“Stylish. Good food. Fun place!“
