48 Best Cocktail Bars near Porter Ranch

“Our server was very nice. They unfortunately did not have the passion fruit cocktail anymore. 🥲 which i was so excited about. We did try their guava margarita, which was just sweet enough. Their carnitas nachos were surprisingly pleasing. Melted cheese avocado and the soft shredded carnitas. The tri tip tacos were good, but I dont know if I'd order them again. The burgers and fries were very tasty too.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Casita! Brittany, the concierge, and our server Delilah provided exceptional, warm, and professional service that truly stood out. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!“

“A great meal to celebrate our 8th grader’s MS graduation and my FIL’s 75th birthday! Thankful, too, for the Katz family’s support of our school’s fundraiser back in April - we were able to use a gift card we had won at that event.

Definitely a “seen and be seen” kind of vibe, but we did not feel out of place at all and the service was warm and welcoming and super accommodating of both our youngest son’s allergies and our large party. Thank you so much, especially Katrina who was patient and attentive throughout our meal.

Rolls were delicious, the whole crispy fish was a showstopper, and the drinks were perfect. All in all, a superb evening!“

“Ah... The Maui Sugar Mill, in Tarzana, Ca.

I've been going to this venue on Monday nights for live music, mostly blues, for 17 years. All ages attend, and the atmosphere is chill very rare to see any issues there.

It never gets old! The fun never stops. I always have a great time, and the people (some I've seen or known for years) in attendance are fun and lively.

The first show, usually a local band, starts at 8pm.

The main event begins around 9pm and goes on until about 11pm.

Artists and bands, some famous (from all over the globe), perform here. Joe Bonamassa was just there performing. However, I believe tickets were sold for that event due to his popularity in the music world.

From about 11pm until close (around 1:30-1:45am), there is an open jam (featuring musicians and singers from all backgrounds) run by bassist Michael B. Bolden. Michael has played with many famous artists and is famous in his own rite!

During the open jam, you'll see all sorts of musicians get pared together and play and sing some amazing music.

It's certainly a treat, I often stay for this entertaining and interesting part of the evening!

The whole nights events are brought to you and run by a local promoter and blues guitarist Cadillac Zack. He's amazing and wonderful! Don't forget to get on his mailing list to be informed of upcoming events.

It's free to get in!
However, there is a two drink minimum. The bartenders render service with a smile, and they never pressure you. A voluntary contribution is asked for and collected by Cadillac Zack to pay the perfoemers sometime during the show.

No worries, though! You will get much more (amazing artists, entertainment, and people) out of it than what you put into the donation pot. Heck, you may become a regular like many of us!

Note: It gets pretty full, but you can reserve a table or seat for a fee (Contact Cadillac Zack, he's on Facebook) for more info.

Oh! One more thing! If you get hungry, the restaurant next door serves food until 10 pm. You can order right from where you are, and they'll deliver it right to you.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it's wheelchair friendly but gets pretty packed.“

“The best! If you are craving the tiki experience of a lifetime, you owe yourself a visit. The staff is freaking amazing, too! They all are so knowledgeable and friendly. Super recommend!“

“Dee did such an incredible job. She was very polite and professional. She was super attentive and overall helpful. Definitely would come earlier in the day as the dinner period can get a bit loud but regardless a very benevolent experience!“

“Docs is one of the most fun bars to play. My band BlackHeart played there every month and the staff treated us great! Sarah always communicated and kept us in the loop. All of the bartenders and door guys made us feel welcome and enjoyed our rock style of music. We love it there and BlackHeart thanks them and will hopefully be back in house soon! Thanks guys! Docs Inn rocks!“

“Phish PHUN carpet, great drinks and fabulous VIBE!“

“A must place for a sports“

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“A classic, traditional Jazz bar with old fashioned friendly rules, a casual, welcoming vibe and long-standing live music.

Don't dress like a slob, but you don't have to dress up. If you're in old Canoga Park, Casey's is not to be missed.“

“Local bar, friendly staff, friendly patrons, pool table and darts. 🥂“

“Always a wonderful culinary adventure as well as good wines and craft cocktails! The bar staff can be quite creative and always friendly. Plus, the atmosphere is fresh and hip- Industrial yet cozy.“

“Came in for a drink and to check out the area since we are new to the area. The place was kind of small and majority of the people inside were older. The tables had all the dirty cups on there and were still there when we were leaving. We ordered double shots of tequila and a few micheladas. We saw people eating McDonalds in there. They have darts to play and the music was nice,“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“Great food service and the atmosphere was wonderful.“

“Truly not enough descriptive words to express the level of freshness, taste and welcoming vibe we experienced at Karma Sushi. Honestly the BEST sushi I’ve had in forever. James and his staff are a 10+ (no exaggeration). They greet you like family and take care of you like only an owner runned business could. I’m hooked and can’t stop eating here!!!! Was just there for Mother’s Day and returning next week to share with a friend. A MUST TRY.“

!!!“

“Absolutely stellar experience. Great food and great service. What impressed me the most was how sparkling clean it was. Most pubs tend to be filthy....not the White Harte. From the crystal clear front window to the spotless patio to the bathrooms. It felt like a brand new building. The pub area is a little small but has a cozy feel. Dining at the pub really takes you out of the city for a bit, in that you feel a sense of rural Britain. It was not too loud, yey everyone was having a marvelous time. Also, everyone from staff to patrons seemed friendly and mild mannered. I came with my folks, and they were more than accommodating to our needs. Thank you for a memorable experience.“

“A gem of a dining destination with an elevated but accessible menu. Patio seating is a must, and coyote fries are a can’t-miss—as is the entire wine list.“

“This restaurant is phenomenal! First of all the food is dreamy, I particularly LOVE the shrimp pasta. The cocktails are also just insane i love the fresh fruit in them sooo yummy! We have come multiple times and every time is great. Staff is always so friendly. Came on Fathers Day w/ the hubby & sat at the bar. Our bartender Lexi was killin it. She was the ONLY BARTENDER on a holiday!!!! Two thumbs up for her thats one hard workin chickie and doing it all with a smile! Definitely come check Lure out!“

“Audri made this experience phenomenal. I’ll never forget being skeptical about this addition to the Topanga mall - an establishment I’d frequent regularly in my youth. But today I’m back as an experimenter and Margherita Garden with Audri and I’m totally sold. It was beyond what I expected. And I thank the staff for that. Even though the selection of alcohol was minimal I stayed and spent my time here because it was beyond welcoming thanks to her and the staff. She and the staff are incredible. Love it all. Whoever runs this thing - please take good care of these peeps ❤️“

“Great food. Great environment“

“Vegetarian options: Their guac is vegan friendly

Parking: After I think 11ish the $20 valet parking lot is free. If you're going early park at the ralphs down the street and walk to the bar.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar 21+ they ID as soon as you walk in.

Wheelchair accessibility: I don't think I saw any stairs to the entrance. But the set up inside is fairly crowded and dark idk how accessible that is unless you're a paraolympian with nightvision“

“Todo delicioso y un excelente servicio me encanta mucho este restaurante es lo máximo servicio y comida Im so happy %100 recomendado Im Love it 😍 😍😍🥰😍😍😍🥰“

“I recently saw this place opened up and had to try it! Betsy (owner) was super nice to us and told us some of the plans she has for this new location.??

Now for the food...fire. I got the chicken tacos (two orders) and my girlfriend got the carne asada tacos. Salsa...on point. Taco size...on point. They have great drinks too!

This place has a vibey atmosphere and I really appreciate them staying open late! There's nothing better than a late night food run for tacos.

We definitely plan on visiting again!

**UPDATE: I am not paid nor compensated in anyway for my reviews. I am a verified reviewer with millions of views of my photos and reviews globally. For another reviewer to insinuate such a thing is comedic. Yes, the music might be loud, it's supposed to be. CA tax is 9%, pay what they charge or leave?, and lastly do not come with any expectations. Enjoy whatever you're presented with and life will be much better.“

“What a vibe! Came for a draft beer, stayed for another (the mystery was worth it). Surprised by a personal magic show, right beside me at the bar!

Professional staff, easy to talk to, and matching an atmosphere you cannot only visit once.“

“Great place to grab a bite to eat, a drink, with friendly staff and regulars! Great service!“

“1st time here, food was well prepared and good. Prime rib was great. Didn't wait, we were seated promptly. They had specials.

Parking: Some street parking and plenty in parking area and alley area.

Kid-friendliness: My little ones got the cheese burger and they were happy.“

“This restaurant offers a great mix of classic and modern dishes. I tried the roasted chicken with herbs, and it was flavorful and juicy. The side of roasted potatoes was crispy and delicious. The service was attentive without being intrusive.“

“Excellent happy hour choices. 4 bucks for a margarita including fruity ones, $5 beer and wine, $3 full-sized tacos and lots of other choices including $7 flautas and $10 nachos. There's even a caesar salad on the HH menu. And best of all the food was actually fresh & good. Atmosphere is especially nice up on the balcony, plenty of parking on the street or in their underground lot.“

“awesome atmosphere, fun events, great staff, and location.“

“Always enjoy eating at Trocadero. Delicious Sonoran cuisine, delicious micheladas. If like spicy don’t forget to ask for the red spicy salsa. Great service and owners Raul & Dora Bojorquez are very friendly. Truly recommend you to try it 👌🏼“
