“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!!!“

“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. 🍎“

“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.“

“Actually, the most ridiculous experience I’ve ever had. I never want to drink at another bar ever again. I never even want to have another drink unless it’s at bar next-door. I will only drink here for the rest of my life. I will consider myself sober unless I’m having a night at bar next-door.“

“Great atmosphere and the food was great!“

“We had a great time! Thank you for making it so special I.“

“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.“

“Funke is an incredible dining experience! The food was beautifully presented, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was elegant and vibrant, while the service was attentive and welcoming. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and made the meal truly memorable. I had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend Funke.“

“Great little spot to eat food that you bought at the airport. Bartender is super friendly too! Just keep in mind you will be paying the price of a 6 pack or 10 pack for 1 beer (Coors Light) so to get more bang for your buck, order the Long Island iced tea or the 20 oz Space Dust IPA. :)“

“What a cozy welcoming atmosphere it has.. comfortable seating and friendly staff.. looking forward to going back soon“

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

“Staff is Awesome 👏🏽 Location is Great 👍🏽 Drinks 🍹 are Delicious 😋 Yummy 😋 Thank you, Scarlet Lady Saloon for allowing 🖤💛⚜️Who Dat N L.A. 🖤💛⚜️ to Socialize during Our Game Time. It’s also a place to socialize anytime. I will return 💃🏿☂️🖤💛⚜️“

“The food at Lunetta is always reliable and nicely prepared....tasty, too! The service is also very nice. The interior of the restaurant is worn and dated and could definitely use a refresh. Also, the noise level was way up which poses a problem if you can't shout over other people at other tables in order to be heard by your people at your table. If you are hearing challenged, the noise problem is even more challenging. To be fair, this noise issue, unfortunately, seems to be pervasive at most Los Angeles restaurants.“

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

“Love it. Love the atmosphere, the fireplace, all the candles and dark lighting, and especially the Cure anthology! Our cocktails were amazing. I loved my apple miso martini. It was the perfect balance of savory with a little sweetness and umami. My partner loved his old-fashioned.“

“Love the burgers and sushi.“

“Loved the cozy environment especially in the patio area . Food was great! The potato cakes with apples was amazing . Our group of 9 loved all of the food ! Would recommend to others“

“Happy to return to Duke's in Malibu. Long time family favorite. Since re-opening, it seems that the menu is quite reduced from before and they currently are only operating on limited days/hours. I look forward to the day that they are "back to normal" (whatever that normal is). We had a wonderful meal, the waiter was friendly & responsible, and the value was excellent. Looking forward to returning again soon.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Do they have dj what kind of music they play“

“I recently celebrated my husband's surprise 40th birthday party at the Alibi Room. Such an amazing time, the staff were so helpful, the food was amazing! If I could give more stars I would! Huge shout out to Andrea, Krystal and staff for the phenomenal service! I cannot thank everyone enough for making our celebration so special!“

“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! 🔥🎶“

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

“Love this place !! I feel safe at the 90 specially as a woman ! The service is great, the bartenders are always attentive and the fact that they have a great pool table to top it off! Not to say they have snacks and the regulars there make you feel at home … definitely check this place out !“

“Always great service and great food“

“Exellent !!!!!!! Good service !!!!“

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

“I loved my second time here! We had the best waiter, Marcus. He continuously had a smile on his face while serving and had no issue answering our “what’s better?” Questions about drinks. I hope Marcus is able to receive as much joy, as I did here, at Dodger stadium 😉😂.“

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

“From 9-11:30 most Monday nights, come to this small bar to see the miracle of the Hot Club of Los Angeles, an amazing 5 piece embodiment of Django Reinhart's 1930s jazz spirit. Their second set may start around 10:45 if you'd like a bit more room. No snacks, no food, no nonsense...just as good a band as you'll ever see in a space this small. Tommy will take care of you behind the bar. Guinness can, served in a glass, $10 in June 2026. Enjoy!“

““I had a really upsetting experience at GYM BAR. After having just a couple drinks, I was told I couldn’t be served any more because of my skin color. I was sober, and I went to another bar right after, and everything was completely fine. I’ve never felt so singled out or discriminated against, and it really ruined my night. I won’t be returning“

“Best tuna sandwich in town! 😃🙌🏽🥪👍🍺“

“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.“

“The food was excellent! The service was excellent also ! Nice place“

“It's in my home town . Rocky is the bomb !! and Mike Moore. just a great bar.“

“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!“

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

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

“I enjoyed the food, decor, and service. If you want a quiet place to dine though, this isn't it..“
