“My wife and I decided to check out happy hour at Finney’s Crafthouse on Rinaldi in Porter Ranch next to the 118 freeway. We agreed it was the right move for a Friday night date. We ordered a few items from the happy hour menu, including the sliders and the chicken quesadilla. The sliders were just the right size and cooked to perfection. I have no idea why sliders taste so much better than a full burger! The chicken quesadilla was also delicious cheesy, flavorful, and filled with well cooked chicken. I mean, how can you go wrong with a chicken quesadilla? Am I right? The service here is always top-notch, and the servers are really friendly. Just be aware that when they’re busy, wait times can be a bit longer, but that’s to be expected at a popular restaurant serving quality American food. I definitely recommend Finney’s Crafthouse in Porter Ranch if you’re ever in the mood for burgers, beer, or wine while watching a game this is the place for you. The ambiance, to me, feels more like a bar and restaurant where people can come for a family dinner or watch a football or baseball game on the big screens in the bar area. There is plenty of parking since it’s located in a large shopping center, but be aware that during dinner time or on Friday and Saturday nights, it can be tough to find a spot. Eventually, one opens up you just have to be patient. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy some amazing food, whether from the happy hour menu or the regular menu. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

Thanks, Finney’s Crafthouse!“

“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!“

“I enjoy coming here on Monday nights. One of the few spots in the valley to immerse yourself in outstanding blues. There's no food served here but who needs to good food when you have music feeding your soul. There's a 10 dollar charge and you get a drink voucher.“

“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!“

“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!“

“What an amazing neighborhood bar!! I’ve been to the many iterations of this bar, and this is a Great place. Karaoke, games, tables and couches to sit on and hang out with friends, a pool table and outdoor patio.
I unfortunately didn’t catch the karaoke lady’s name but she remembered my name.
Celebrated my 19 anniversary with friends and we had a great time.
Super honest people there too- a purse was left at our table when we moved to a different part of the bar, and they had put our purse behind the bar. We will definitely be back. Drinks were a little expensive, but everything is going up in price. Worth it to have a cute neighborhood bar. It was a nice mix of straight and gay, young and older.
Thank you, Happy Rabbit! We’ll be back again soon.“

“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!“

“A must place for a sports“

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

“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.“

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

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

“I really love this place! Cocktails menu is amazing, the Lychee Mojito 10/10, always a must for me.
Place was packed, of course it was a Friday night and the Lakers were playing, I recommend making s reservation.
Despite how busy the place was, out server David took care of us, great service and delicious food!“

“Sugar Suite is my favorite bar in the valley! I usually come on Monday and Friday after work to see the blonde bartender! She makes the best Michelada and is the sweetest! The atmosphere is always great. Don’t forget to stay for Karla after her on Mondays!“

“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.“

“Ryan gave my party of five the best menu overview and food recommendations we’ve ever experienced. We arrived just as happy hour was starting and were pleasantly surprised to find that the happy hour portions were just as generous as the regular appetizers. Everything we tried was excellent, and the coconut shrimp was hands-down the best I’ve ever had.

Our waitress, Brook, was fantastic—so attentive and friendly. Honestly, every member of the staff was welcoming and accommodating, which made the entire experience even better.

We will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at Finney’s Crafthouse for such a wonderful dining experience!“

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

“They have the best KJ in town!“

“we came here on a whim after watching a movie at AMC Fallbrook. I’m so glad we did. We sat at the bar and were served by Lilly the bartender. She was an absolute joy to speak to and made fantastic drinks. The Pear elixir was unbelievable. It usually comes in a martini glass, but I asked for it in a regular glass. We ordered the cheese quesadilla to start, then we got a Croque Madame and a turkey burger. Both were absolutely delicious. The turkey burger was not dry. It was fantastic. This place offers many things to do daily. Poetry readings, music featuring local artists, R&B, jazz, soft rock, etc. They also do micro weddings and rehearsal dinners! There is a dining patio out front and in the back, but the latter is something special. There’s a little stage there where they offer all these fun nights and where someone would have their micro wedding. It is open air, but covered and retractable. The architecture and character is adorable and I loved it. There was parking in the back and some chairs and a table with an ashtray for smokers in the parking area. they have Sunday ticket and multiple TVs to watch all sports, including women sports! Just ask the and they will change one of the channels! please know the channel name in advance! plus, They are LGBTQ friendly! They do have vegan options available as stated by a sign on a chalkboard I remember seeing!“

“rib eye steak is the best“

“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“

“Had a wonderful meal. The chef was awesome and interactive“

“Great food Great service. Fantastic drinks“

“I’ve been coming to this spot since it was the Celtic Raven, and I happened to walk in on Chela’s Cantina during its soft launch. I’ve been a regular ever since day one. The owner is phenomenal, and the crowd it attracts is just as great! friendly, welcoming, and full of good vibes.

There’s always something to do here: enjoy music, grab some food and drinks, hop on karaoke, or play a round of pool. While the alcohol selection is smaller compared to bigger bars, it actually introduced me to wine spirits and gave me a new appreciation for trying something different.

If you’re looking for a small, local atmosphere with a strong sense of community, I highly recommend Chela’s Cantina. It’s truly a hidden gem!“

“I'm so excited you all are reopening This Wednesday! I have so many fun and fond memories of great afternoons into nights at the Barrel. Karaoke with the locals is always fun. congratulations see you all soon“

“Order the Aguachile with extra shrimp. It was only $30 dollars for 2 people. So affordable and delicious and clean. I highly recommend you check this place out. They also have drinks and an awesome patio that is right on Ventura Blvd. I always find meter parking but just Park across the street at the shopping center if you can’t find any.

This is more than a simple taco stand it’s a full service marisqueria. My friend from Sinaloa which I consider a Mariscos expert brought me here and it’s delicious, excellent customer service. The waitresses are smoking hot and super authentic and delicious. I feel like I’m in Rosarito beach eating seafood here. So good. I highly recommend this place. This place is way too empty for the quality of food that they serve. Try the Aguachile. I asked for mild spice and they complied. I can’t handle too spicy. 🌶️“

“Great atmosphere, the music and the two beautiful belly dancers you have performing on Saturday nights are awesome. The food, drinks and service was incredible. We will definitely be back!!“

“We went in for drinks and they did not disappoint! We had the Piña para La Niña and Paloma and they were delicious!! The atmosphere is lively and will go back!!“

“We celebrated our holiday dinner party at Rusti Kitchen Calabasas with our entire staff, and we were extremely happy with the service, food, ambiance, and overall experience. We arrived a bit early, and the owners kindly seated us at the bar and offered complimentary drinks while our table for 20 was being prepared. Throughout the evening, they checked in with us to make sure everything was taken care of.

Our staff loved everything that was served buffet-style—salmon, pasta, salads, pizza, vegetables, chicken, and a delicious dessert. We never felt rushed and truly felt at home, which made the night even more special. We had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend Rusti Kitchen. We will definitely consider them again for future team gatherings.“

“the Best Persian restaurant....♡ it !!!“

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

“Been eating here for many years. The menu has changed but everything is still good. My mom and I shared the spinach and artichoke dip- it was delicious and much bigger than expected. I got the French dip sandwich which was good and came with cheese on it and a side salad (or fries).My mom got the cilantro lime salad which is her favorite. The dressing is really tangy and good. Their cilantro lime tacos and French onion soup are also delicious! Everything I’ve had here has been good.“

“They have a huge selection of Beer on Tap and Thank goodness they had Angry Orchard as I am the only person who prefers wine🤓❤️“

“I had an amazing visit to Tipsy Cow , such a great place right in Sherman Oaks off if the most lively part of Ventura Blvd. This is my new favorite place to go The Valley. Joseph recommended the Ma“

“This place was a 10/10. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Los Angeles and in a while. We started out with such unique cocktails, everyone was so friendly and explained the menu so well. The food was delicious and presented so well. The Marselles, empanadas and potatoes are a MUST! I went for my birthday and everyone was so welcoming, really making the experience unforgettable.“

“I was recommended there by Jillian Barberie from Good Day L.A. It was my 1st time there & it did not disappoint at all. Valet parking. Quick prompt service, waitress was attentive and food was spot on! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great Service and Great Food!! Now a cute area to walk around in, keep going Santa Clarita your community is sick of chain restaurants!! Always an elevated experience at Newhall Refinery! ❤️ Thank you“
