“Locals hangout. Locals often avoid the touristy trendy restaurants, buit love to meet and hang out at this super fun dive bar. Recommended by a local.

The food (burger, chips & beer) was good. A nice selection of beers on tap and by the bottle. Watch sports, play pool/billiards, hang out with friends, have a PTA meeting,etc.

As we were leaving, the local ladies, all meeting together Sunday night, were super friendly and waved hello/goodbye. Fun place.“

“Great place for cocktails in El Segundo. A lot of classic tiki drinks plus some twist. The purple passion and Vic's grog was my favorite. The atmosphere is a tiki bar with island vibes and music. The staff was super nice and very informative of recommendation of the drinks. There's also two billiard tables for entertainment besides the sports TVs.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The absolute best combination of dive bar and arcade you could ask for! It was the bartenders first day (sorry I forgot your name) but he was friendly, engaging and knew his stuff about the games. Cash only, which is honestly part of the charm. Highly recommended!“

“great place especially in the morning“

“Great Bartenders with good service. A good local bar...also there's shuffleboard,pinball & pool.“

“Okay so there is only beers, wine, and hard kombuchas available (with a selection of unalcoholic drinks as well and soda) so there aren’t any cocktails or spirits. However, this works ??? Somehow it elevates the atmosphere, the wine with the beer it’s just the essentials. The DJ they brought in was so GOOD, (DJ Barrett). The bartenders are so nice, at one point the diva was left alone behind the bar but she was killing it. She was so nice regardless of how many people were waiting for their drinks, she deserves a raise I love her. The prices are decent compared to other LA bars I’ve been to. Overall a good bar to pre game and hang out and have a smoke.“

“Cool joint. Cold beer! Best tacos every Thursday through Saturday!!“

“Great KJ, great bartenders and great customers! What more does one need?!“

“Great bar, awesome bartender!“

“There is no other place I love to let loose and dance my heart out more than The Dime! I had such a fun night being transported back to when bars were casual and fun to go to. Good drinks, great music, loved the vibe!“

“Saludos cordiales bueno un lugar muy acojedor para ir entre amigos ti poder participar en un juego de Billar es muy agradable su atención es muy importante la Srta. Vanessa es muy amable con todas las personas y muy educada ok. Suerte“

“Where the lights are dim, the drinks are strong, and the vibe is unapologetically rock 'n' roll. It’s divey in the best way, with a jukebox that slaps. Perfect for late-night rebels. Pro tip: don’t expect fancy—this place thrives on grit and charm.“
