50 Best Bars near Pacific Palisades

“Great and beautiful restaurant. The service from our servers was kind and excellent. The food was yummy. The fried calamari was so fresh. well seasoned and cooked to perfection. I forgot to take a photo of my crabcakes (2) and avocado salad, but they were also delicious. The double chocolate dessert still has me wating more a day later?. Can't forget my hot mint tea, I could tell the mint was freshly picked from the garden. Delicious.“

“We walked in here after our hike and to our surprise there was a 50% Happy Hour menu that blew us away! What great service, ambiance and food! Absolutely delicious! The Happy Hour menus started at 5-6 and it really was well worth the price.“

“This is definitely a hidden gem in Beverly Hills!!! It's in a prime location with reasonable prices. Their cocktails are affordable and have lots of flare. I recommend the "Spellbound" if you like bourbon. Their service is swift and friendly. My favorite food items were the spicy tuna crispy rice and the Wagyu Pepperoni Pizza. They also have pretty decent sized portions to share. After shopping on Rodeo Drive, Beverly Bar is a nice place to stop without breaking the bank.“

“I went for my birthday based on reviews & I needed something to enjoy. I’m typically a Ruth Chris girlie, but I’ve been so many times. I took myself btw. I made a reservation, valet was very kind, I couldn’t even tell you how many people checked on me to make sure I was doing okay but I appreciated everything. The bread was amazing, the recommendations were amazing, even the other guest in the restaurant were sweet and told me happy birthday & took pictures of me. The atmosphere was beautiful, the lighting was perfect too. They even gave me a birthday card & the dessert was a 10/10. It was literally the best birthday I’ve had in years. It was worth every penny and I highly recommend coming here again.“

“Fabulous staff here with very affordable prices on food AND drinks! The new happy hour now starts at 2pm EVERY DAY till 8pm!!!! Love the upgrade draft beer options to a boom sh size for only $3 more!!!! Great new local neighborhood bar. Fantastic games room with something for everyone.“

“We flew in from Australia. Attentive staff, waitress and maitre'd. Extensive wine menu to cater all palates. The food was absolutely delectable. The signature dishes were the highlights including spicy big tuna cones and salmon pizza with the ever crisp dough. A must try is the Singapore style black pepper Branzino.Will definitely come again.“

“Great vegan restaurant in Melrose. The food has plenty of flavor and tastes fresh. Prices during happy hour are very affordable, and it’s a great for big groups to share bites and drinks. Atmosphere is nice, especially outdoors on the patio. The highlight of the evening for me was the olive oil brownie — a must try!“

“I can't say enough about the food and service! Everything was off the charts delicious starting with the appetizers and on to the steak platters for 2. Desert the Bomb too!! Thank you for a great birthday dinner experience absolutely delicious!“

“Funke in West Hollywood offers a delightful dining experience with excellent service. Eleanor, the sommelier, impressed with her Italian expertise, we were a group of first generation Italians so it was nice. The food, especially the rigatoni amatriciana and cacio e pepe, was outstanding, though the gnocchi was a bit mushy. The restaurant boasts an excellent vibe, a testament to its creator, the mastermind behind Mother Wolf. Perfect for indulging in a variety of pasta dishes and enjoying a memorable evening out. Oh yea and the fior di zucca were absolutely phenomenal.“

“We came on a Friday for lunch and it was nice and quiet. The staff are friendly and nice. The bread was complimentary and came out warm. Delicious Diavola Pizza was delicious. The spicy kick was well balanced with the sweetness of the honey. The crust was not floppy or soggy, but soft with a slight crunch. The gnocchi was soft. My husband liked the pine nuts in the pesto sauce. Branzino: This was my favorite dish. The sea bass was nice and light. The capers and lemon complimented the fish nicely. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were good and some had a nice crisp. Blanca Dessert was okay. I liked the chocolate and crunch of the cookie crust, but it was mostly cream. Definitely a great place to try with reasonable prices!“

“Yessir! Fun lil place! It's small but cozy. With an old-school charm. Those seasoned chips are addictive. At $1 a bowl, we ordered several lol. Perfect, low-key place to unwind or meet someone for a drink. It's Hollywood without any pretense. Service was right on! And the drinks were good! Parking is a pain during rush hour. Not so much because you can't find a spot, but because Sunset is a parking lot. Definitely going to swing through again! Two thumbs all the way up!“

“First visit after driving by for too long. Don't drive by, this is an amazing spot for brunch on the weekend! Atmosphere outside is wonderful, wait staff was on point and very helpful, food was truly special, prepared perfect and presented beautifully, as you would expect from a great spot in WEHO. We tried the Crostinis which were perfectly sized apps and had the Breakfast burrito (so fresh with Avocado, Egg, Black Beans and Bacon) and my wife had the Herb and Giat cheese omelet, in her words “it was delicious”, and great portion of food for both of us. Have already reserved our next brunch and eager to bring our out of town guests. Excellent and looking forward to dinner as well.“

“From the second I walked in the staff was attentive & have great recommendations. Per my servers recommendations I got the Poké bowl! It was delicious! Flavors were popping, tastebuds were dancing, it was a delicious meal.I rarely get desserts, I did splurge this dinner & I got the flourless chocolate cake. Comes with salted caramel ice cream & whipped cream… my tastebuds were dancing again! Just perfection!I will be back!!!“

“3rd visit - Obsessed! Innovate cuisine and meticulous cocktails at the level everywhere else wishes they could. Negroni - All time fav because the bitter punches hard (sometimes too hard). This is the best I've had! Bitter and sweet balance exquisitely - not brusque. Crispy Potatos - Well done, but makes you wonder if size is right. Close to being a french fry - but large! Crispy outside, soft inside, well seasoned. Mildly curious aioli pair well. Not perfect. Maybe needs another sauce? Seared Hokkaido Scallops - Scared green curry would overpower delicate scallops, but texture remains in tact. Curry pulls out creaminess. Delicate, but flavorful. Warm and clean. Scallion paratha is so necessary to give heavy depth! Cheesecake - Yooo!! Creme Brule is my fav and this is rivaling it! Bright and tart while velvety with deep. Not heavy! You'll regret not getting. Martini - A must every visit! I love olives, but tried lemon this time and loved how big of a difference it made! Excited to try gibson/onion next!“

“We sat on the patio with a few cocktails we ordered: From LA with Love (tall orange drink) and LA Adelita (Mocktail). They were fantastic!I especially like the ambiance of the bar. It is located in a trendy food stall in downtown Culver City with other ethnic food on the first floor and the bar and its patio on the second floor!“

“I am Polish and proudly introduced our food to a large party of my American friends and every one of them loved everything about it. The food authentic, the service warm and caring, the decor keeps the beauty of the home with personal touches like Polish graphic arts and historical photos. And the wonderful servers even sang Sto Lat to me. Thank you for being there all these decades!“

“We sat outside since you're RIGHT on the boardwalk from the patio. Here we could hear a street performer sing and people watch as we ate...which we loved! Our server was the sweetest and incredibly attentive. He made a GREAT espresso martini once we were done with mimosas. Our food came quickly and correctly and tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend for a quick-ish breakfast stop.“

“Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and Amanda saw to it that we had a wonderful experience. She was so welcoming and helpful. Many places have incredible drinks but if the service doesn't match, who knows if you'll remember it a few months down the road. The service is what makes people come back! She nailed it.The cocktails were delicious as well, we are familiar with the craft cocktail scene and these drinks were on point and an awesome price! Ambience was spot on too.Next time we are in LA we will return!“

“Amazing restaurant with class and vibe. The food and drinks were so good. I would definitely come back here. In addition they have live jazz on Wednesdays and other nights. This is a a great place to come and chill. The chicken liver mousse is a must with some bread.Vegetarian options: Mushrooms were awesomeParking: Park in the back lot is free“

“Great place for unique pizza at Gary's Woodfired Pizza in the food court. Unique pizza with Brooklyn soul and California ingredients. Music, outside seating, roof-top bar and dining, informal and fun. Ask for the 'white pizza' for something special.“

“Went back to back days because of the food was so good. The service was impeccable as well as the drinks. The lovely hostess was able to seat me despite it being super packed and I did not have a reservation. Definitely a revisit when in LA!“

“This is a really nice location if you want to be in the luxury stores and restaurants. The rooms are lovely decorated. But... I do not recommend this hotel for you to stay, even if it is renewed and renowned, the staff at the terrace restaurant is slow and not really willing to help you, the only one really nice is BRYAN if you go ask for him.The room quality is ok the drapes do not close so you'll sleep with a ray of light, the pillows are awful and they can't do anything to solve the problem. At the valet only if you ask twice they will assist you. They have a lot of things to work on in order to be truly five stars. So far it is like an expensive four star hotel.Nearby activities: Just nearby activities.“

“Hello once again. I have been coming to SOL for the past 3 years. And we always get to ask for CARLOS He is an amazing, outstanding serve. CARLOS goes above and beyond speciation. We will be coming back and tell friends about SOL CUCINA Glad we decided to come to SOL. thank you CARLOS. See you soon“

“Easy to miss on the street if you aren’t careful so pay attention - and it can get noisy and crowded, but for good reason. Delicious , delicious cocktails. Posh , cozy setting, and even though it was a hectic night our server handled our orders well. Def going back.“

“We had dinner there twice as a family, the prices are rather high but the portions are very generous and the food is very good!The atmosphere is very festive, with screens everywhere and music, be careful it gets really loud especially from 9:30 p.m. because the restaurant closes at 2 a.m., the atmosphere becomes that of a bar. Possibility of being installed on a terrace which is heated when it is cold, there are even a kind of fire pit for grilling marshmallows, to discover the tradition of the famous s'mores! Very nice ! In addition the staff is very friendly and welcoming, in short I recommend this place“

“Dinner for 4 on a Thursday at 7pm. Small parking lot was full, we had to circle for street parking. No Valet. Busy inside. They only seat once the entire party is present. There were several groups waiting for their people, the entryway was crowded. It's loud inside, I later saw a warning from my phone! Food was tasty. Portion sizes good. La Jolla potatoes are kinda like scalloped potatoes. Sticky toffee pudding to share was great.“

“I hosted my birthday at SoCal Vibes this past weekend and really can't say enough good things about the experience. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the staff (Aerin, Spencer, Emma, and Maya) were all so helpful and accommodating. It sounds like a cliche given the name, but the energy of the space and the employees is exactly what'd you hope for when you think of the phrase "SoCal Vibes."On top of all that, the cost for the birthday was less than half of what a few other comparable bar/restaurants in the Venice/SM area were quoting me. That's not a knock on the other places, SCV is just very reasonably priced if you're looking to host a large group. Highly recommend anyone reading this consider SoCal Vibes whether you're planning an event or just need somewhere to unwind on the west side.“

“I saw this place and thought it had a nice view from the street over to the ocean so I figured I would eat there. I honestly thought it would be a tourist trap type restaurant because of the location, however, it turned out to be amazing food. I ordered iced tea, which had a lovely and fresh taste to it, not like it came out of the can. Guacamole fresh salsa is fresh, and I ordered fried snapper fish tacos were excellent. The rice was also good, being very flick as opposed to just plain tasting rice. I was pleasantly surprised at the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Very nice place in Beverly Hills. My girlfriend brought me here to try their signature chicken sandwich that was very good but even if it’s signature I would melt the cheese..no way that you put cold cheese in a sandwich. Fries were very good and the margaritas were amazing!If you are not a big eater share the sandwich because it’s huge!Considering the location they should take care the ventilation system because it’s not nice going out smelling by food so much.Overall great typical place that I recommend to everyone in the area“

“Ambiance and flavors are top-notch! I recently "discovered" this local restaurant and was SO impressed. The outdoor dining patio is encapsulated from the street noise and the restaurant transports you to a feeling of fine dining without hurting your wallet. The food is so darn flavorful; you can't go wrong with just the shareable pizzas, but be sure to try the main dishes. My wife loves the Mango Chicken and I'm a fan of the Cancun Steak. For dessert, the coconut flan is fantastic, but I will knock over a small child to get more of the Apple Tart Tatin with its caramelized fruit in butter and sugar. The bar is also stocked with top-shelf spirits, and the mojitos are sweetened with actual sugar cane freshly crushed and squeezed right there at the bar. Whether its a date night, special occasion, or you just want to eat something delicious, this is the type of restaurant that is a local favorite and honestly, will becomes yours too.“

“My daughters (4-7) were spellbound by the “inside / outside at the same time” space. And I absolutely loved the plant filled atmosphere. Food was above average too! The one hiccup was that we ordered a flavoured coffee flight & they were all iced! Wife said she knew, but I didn’t catch that they weren’t hot coffee. So people really like cold coffee?? (Wife loved them. I know I’m the weird one.)“

“Amazing ambience feels like home. Staff is so friendly and patient. Pool tables. Karaoke. Cool music. Free snacks. Every NFL game. Kings hockey. Really just feels like my second living room at this point with all my friends! What a great local bar. Check it out!“

“I am glad to see this New Romantic and hip restaurant take over this spot. It is beautiful and great for groups. Staff is kind and helpful. Parking options include self paid parking as well as valet. If you want free parking you will have to walk quite a bit. Prices and portions are as expected. Everything was delicious including the pesto and Tierra Donna pasta, branzino, mushroom and margarita (not a margarita fan since the sauce is normally whatever and there isn't enough cheese but this one is my fav since it has a good amount of cheese and the tomato sauce is robust) pizza but my favorites include the eggplant parm (my favorite one as it was delicious without being a messy heavy dish), tortellini, arancini, and their sundae/ice cream. A great spot if you are a vegetarian. We got salads as well including the Caesar but in the future I would skip them to make more room for the other items.“

“Strong drinks, fast service and hot fries. What's to complain about? It's within walking distance from the beach, it's a total classic dive bar - old posters, jukebox songs and plenty of TVs playing sports. It's a bigger place than it looks like from the outside with back patio seating. Parking isn't easy but it's to be expected for the area.“

“First time coming here. Loved the old Hollywood feel. The food was very tasty. Went here with some friends for Easter Brunch. I had the tomamto and burrato... Yum. With the Branzino for the main. My dish didn't come out for about 15 mins... They comped my portion of the meal. They didn't need to do that. Amazing service correction. No photos allowed as many celebrities come here. Which was refreshing.“

“Lady Hawk is a fantastic, trendy restaurant nestled within the Kimpton La Peer hotel. Securing reservations a few weeks in advance is essential due to its high demand. Upon visiting with my friends, we were thoroughly impressed. Every aspect, from the decor to the service and ambiance, exceeded our expectations. We opted for the Mezze platter, which turned out to be larger than anticipated but incredibly satisfying. We also indulged in the za'atar man'oushe, seared halloumi, shawarma skirt steak, and half chicken--all of which were delightful. Sharing is recommended, so keep that in mind when ordering. Despite leaving with leftovers, we were eager to return for more.“

“Our server William was outstanding! First time dining at Canopy LA and the experience was friendly, beautiful, positive and fun. Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here and we will definitely be back. A special and warm thank you to our server for making our experience memorable and engaging. We can't wait to experience summer memories at Canopy LA. Thank you for the memory.“

“I had so much fun watching the 49ers here on Sunday. Such great vibes and I am definitely looking forward to watching the Super Bowl at the oaks. Solid group of San Francisco fans and the game is on a lot of TVs so you can see it all from any seat. Hannah the bartender is rad!“

“In the year 2000 I lived in front of Alibi Room, I met friends in the afternoon and we played pool, we ate and had a few drinks, we really had a great time, I have very good memories of that Bar. After a few years I returned to live in Argentina“

“Great food, great service. What’s not to like? Is it popular, and thus a bit crowded at times? Yes. Comes with the territory. We had the garlic noodles and dumpling appetizer.I enjoyed watching the bartender making about 30 different types of drinks while we sat at the bar. Whoa! Was that a mini flame thrower? Artfully scorched cocktail, coming right up. The best part of the night was how patient the serve were with all my questions (wow, what’s that? x 5, asking about beautiful drinks being made).Highly recommend this spot.“

“I was in the area hiking for 4 hrs. I was very hungry and I was already in Malibu so I decided to eat here. It never disappoints me. Love everything here. The food, wine, the patio, and friendly service. Highly recommendedParking: Parking is limited.Kid-friendliness: Absolutely. And pet friendly too.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Started the visit with bad vibe. They did not like my "look" and were suspicious that I would not be spending enough money to make my presence profitiable. Within 10 min, the bartender and I came to an understanding. Over $100 later we were great friends. Really good food and decent drinks. I recommend the civeche and the yellow tail.“

“MY FAVORITE LA BAR!!! My review is loooong overdue as I've been coming here for years. I've moved further South on Ventura but I still manage to come to what I feel is my home in bar form. I'm a woman who loves mixology and good bartending and most bars are extremely male centric. TLP is great for women and men. It wouldn't surprise me that many women love this bar. You will hear everyone mention "the feel" of the bar and it's because they seem to consistently hire AMAZING BAR AND WAIT STAFF. Kudos to management for keeping such excellent consistency. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME..I come to the bar I sit at the bar and get an INCREDIBLE convo from the bartenders. They always serve me the most fantastic drinks and make me feel like a FUGGIN QUEEN. I love them so much for this. They manage people well and that's hard to come by. Even if I've had a bad day they seem to always say the thing that lifts my spirits -- it's wild. Therapy in a bar almost. lol Keep up the good work guys! See you again soon.“

“Usually adult themed place since it took multiple calls to find out about "meet and greet" passes, the staff answering knew nothing... But we were there for a kid concert. Other then the 2nd opening act saying the F word every other second, the staff during the event, and the reason we were there was top notch. AJA was the girl who likes to swear in front of 10-16 year olds and get one fan supporting her (literally 6 women who woo-hoo'ed her and agreed with things she was talking about kids know nothing about). Gavin Magnus was great though!“

“This is what happens when you support shitty businesses like Tendergreens studio city. Mazza actually had great food, nice ambiance, kind staff, and good music too. They didn't deserve to close! We need to do better. Never forgiving this community for actively supporting the business next door that has numerous health issues and bad service. I hope Mazza can come back one day.“

“This place doesn’t disappoint, seriously. Genuinely, this might be one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to and I grew up in a city with a lot of Italian restaurants. I got the Spicy Penne alla Vodka for takeout the most recent time I visited and it did not disappoint. Not to mention there’s a lot of different nearby stores you can visit too after you’re done eating. Definitely if you’re looking for an Italian place that is good and has excellent vibes in Manhattan Beach or El Segundo, this is the place to go. Just wish they stayed open later than 10!“

“The food here is really great, and they have a good selection of Wine, Beer, and Cider. The burgers are really good and a nice variety. I love getting the chips instead of the fries, trust me on this they are sooo good. The patio is so nice because you can sit outside and enjoy yourselves, and there's lots of space so it's a great place for groups. Parking is also easy in Downtown El Segundo, and the service here has always been top notch and very friendly,in true El Segundo fashion!“

“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!“

“Excellent food, I had the smash burger, my friend the blackened salmon. It was a fun and really loud crowd. No problem getting seated. The staff was very professional and no pressure.Parking: Valet fills up quickly at busy times. I was so full they had to close it before I arrived. Very little street parking at busy times, and the area looks a little suspect.“

“Spruzzo is a hidden gem in Pacific Palisades. The ambience is very soothing and the service is exceptional. Everyone ordered a different salad to start and they were all delicious. Our entree's ranged from fish to pasta and we could not been happier. The food was phenomenal. The price was reasonable and we will certainly be back! Great restaurant! ?“
