“From the outside, The Airliner looks like a dive bar serving standard dive bar fare. But make no mistake, Chef Vinh Nguyen has created a stunning menu of excellent, creative, and absolutely delicious food!

We had a tasting for my daughter's wedding, and we were served such terrific items as Green Chop Salad (spicy thair dressing), Hunan BBQ pork ribs, Green Curry Crispy Rice, onion noodles, and tater tots with Gochujang glaze.

I forgot to take pictures, but everything looked as great as it tasted.

The next time we are in LA, we look forward to going there for dinner, and we couldn't be happier that Chef Nguyen will be catering our daughter's wedding!“

“Great beer, great outdoor vibe with music on the weekend.“

“Great analog music and excellent drinks. The bartenders and dj's are top shelf.“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“This place is always packed, even on weeknights. It’s a testament to the beverages and service. Drinks menu rotates so there’s always something new and interesting to try. You can also always get a classic cocktail as well. Beer and wine are also served here. There is a regular food menu with larger portions from opening until about 9 or 10 pm when they switch to their late-night menu which consists of small plates to pick at. Theres plenty of heat lamps outside for when it’s cold you can still sit comfortably during the winter.“

“Cannot say enough good things about this neighborhood treasure-the first location to get a liquor license in Altadena since 1984, I think I heard? The cocktail menu is inventive and delicious. The servers and bartenders are always warm and a joy to spend time with.“

“You need to email The Speakeasy to get the password of the day. Jeremy, the manager, has created an amazing cocktail list with creative drinks. His friendly demeanor during the evening set the tone for his staff to provide top notch service and drinks. We will be coming back soon!“

“Simple fun, relaxed atmosphere, great little place“

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“Good enough for Richard Pryor, good enough for me!“

“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent“

“Well, this is my first time here and apparently, according to a buddy, it's changed a lot!

This place has a Japanese cocktail bar aesthetic to it, heavy wood paneling, well made drinks, Japanese whiskeys. Keen and detail oriented eyes oversaw it's restructure....

I like the ambiance here, the drinks are reasonably priced for LA and kudos to the barkeeps for the evening, a woman with the best hips and a man with a chiseled jaw and a smirk slung well-made drinks. I'd come back.“

“Loved this place! Great vibes! The music venue is great and I love that the bar area is separated so you could talk at the tables and hear one another, yet you could still hear the music in the background. The Thai food was an unexpected bonus and super delicious. All around a fantastic experience.“

“Great place to come and hangout.“

“The atmosphere is very good, it feels very domestic, and the band performance is also very exciting. The price of bartending is not expensive. I ordered a lot of food. My favorites were the mutton skewers and duck neck, which were delicious. Suitable for chatting and drinking with friends“

“First and foremost! Ask for Justin to make you a drink! Let him do his thing! Amazing mixologist! I’m so happy we decided to stop here instead of the whiskey place next door! The food was like mouth porn! The atmosphere amazing! The only reason I’m taking a star off…. The bathroom was kinda cringe! You guys can’t have that amazing place and the bathroom be like a dive bar… dress it up and clean it up!“

“Grabbed a quick dinner and drinks here. You just walk in, open seating. Scan a QR code to see the menu and then order at the bar. You’ll get your drinks at the bar and then dinner is brought out to you. Then to close your tab you have to go back to the bar which can be a bit of a wait unfortunately. But not too bad. The tacos were great. We went right before happy hour was ending and got $5 tacos. They were really good.“

“How I love this neighborhood club! People are friendly and fun. I stopped by early on a Saturday night and was dazzled by Xmas decorations they just put up for the season and a great new band playing out for one of it's first gigs. As the band played to an enthusiastic audience, everyone in the room felt like we were sharing something special.
Drinks are delicious and affordable, they don't charge for water- even bubbly water! Drop in!“

“It’s a chill place with medium sound levels, not loud enough to hurt, but loud enough to fill the space. It’s got a great seating arrangement with tables, booths, bar, patio, and outdoor seating.

On the menu is food (if you come early enough), great craft beers that are fresh with clean tap lines, wine, seltzers, and N/A options. Some of the beers can be a little on the flatter side (just a bit). The service is prompt and polite.

It’s good for groups of all sizes (I would call ahead just in case it’s busy) and solo people as solo patrons do visit also so you won’t feel too weird, although most are in groups“

“A cozy restaurant offering a variety of cuisines. Everything was prepared with care, and the food was delicious and had a homemade feel. The waitress was exceptionally kind, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this place!"“

“I didn't even know this place existed until a neighbor took me here. Its very spacious it's super clean and it's definitely much better than most neighborhood bars. I actually thought this place was a liquor store in passing. Sally is a great bartender. Very personable and a joy to converse with. There's 3 pool tables and ample room for a crowd.“

“I’ve been to Zizou five times in just two months, and I absolutely love it. Walking in feels like coming home, like being on the docks in the south of France, maybe Marseille. Maati and Boris, the founders, have created a space that feels like an oasis.

Their partnership is the perfect blend: Maati, an architect by training, and Boris, a sommelier and sound designer, met in Lyon, France, during their youth. Together, they’ve designed and built everything inside and out, blending Moroccan and French influences to create an incredible atmosphere.

The food is fantastic, everything from the Moroccan salad to the mussels marinières is delicious. Their menu beautifully fuses North African and French flavors. Plus, they offer great wines, including a Sicilian white in a 1-liter bottle that’s mineral and incredible.

Music plays a big role here too, adding to the vibrant, relaxed vibe. Maati and Boris really care about the community, hosting events and creating a space where you don’t feel rushed.

All this comes at very reasonable prices, making Zizou a must-visit in LA. It’s a fantastic spot, and I never get tired of going back.

Merci pour le voyage!“

“We went in search of the @losdoradosla truck and found it parked in front of La Cuevita. We ventured in at around 6p and discovered that it was still Happy Hour. My husband ordered an Old Fashion and said it was one of the best he’s ever had. I ordered a specialty vodka drink and it was refreshing. We’re definitely going back soon with friends!“

“Always looking for a good bottle shop and this one had it all. The overall vibe was cool with plenty to choose from. Staff was nice and helpful giving recommendations. Would like to come back and check out their tap selection as I saw they had some great stuff. Beer heaven!“

Service is always pretty good as well. We had the pleasure of being waited on by Ginger who was bubbly, attentive and thoughtful.“

WE'LL HAVE A FEW BEERS AND PLAY ON THEIR DART MACHINES. IT'S A REALLY GREAT ENVIRONMENT IN THERE ALL THE TIME. ITS NOT TOO SPACIOUS, BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP IT FROM BEING A RELAXING SPOT TO GO CHILL WITH YOUR PEOPLE. I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE. WELL NOT EVERYONE, ONLY 21 YRS AND OLD“

“Nice spot, service very friendly, they jam on good music I got me a double up fruit cup it was so good you gotta try it“

“Great Place With A Complimenting Bartender Who Knows What He's Doing And Communicative. The Atmosphere Is Perfect With So Many Different Types Of People Who Go Here And All Are Very Friendly And Vibrant.

Good Sitting Areas But It Could Get Crowded Quick. Also Has A Jukebox & 2 Pool tables. This Is A Very Warming Cozy Chill Spot.“

“It’s a safe and enjoyable place to relax and have a great time.“

“This place has been my second home for 30 yrs the staff has been first rate the owner is the best owner ive had the experience of knowing. So get there and have a drimk you'll be glad.yooi did“

“One of the best healthy fun bars. They have it all, a variety of cold beers available to everyone, live DJ, shows, beautiful waitresses in an excellent location. Karaoke every night with no entrance fee. The owner, an excellent person who invites you to drink and enjoy a good party. Visit them and check it out.“

“lemme tell ya 'bout Kelly's Tavern. Shiiiit, them drinks was cold, that Bloody Mary was fire, and dem bartenders? Lawd have mercy, they was fine as hell.
I went in for a lil' somethin' somethin', and lemme tell ya, I almost forgot why I came in the first place. I was too busy watchin' them mix dem drinks. It was like a magic show, but instead of rabbits, they were pullin' out these incredible cocktails.
Let's just say I left there feelin' good, both inside and out.“

“We have dined here a couple of times when we come back to visit family. We are never disappointed. The food is quite good. Portions are on the larger size, so expect to have leftovers to bring home (or just go nuts and indulge).

However, the dinning room is comparatively small and not intimate. That isn't that big of a deal, but you should be aware of it going in. I would recommend a reservation if dining later in the evening. If you arrive earlier, they can usually seat you.

Parking is on the street (but that is par for the course in Sierra Madre), but be prepared to have to drive around a little to find a spot.

The only negative was on our last visit. The front of house was clearly understaffed. The one waiter was doing double duty as the bar tender. So, speed of service was not on the menu.

A solid choice for dining and will we will undoubtedly visit again.“

“My husband and I went there tonight, for Valentine's Day. We had the Steak/Salmon special. This ribeye was the BEST steak I've had in my life. So tender and so tasty!!! The salmon was wonderful, so delicious! I totally recommend their food. Yes, their prices are high, but you're getting the best food possible. And, really, on a special occasion, it's worth it to enjoy delicious food and great service!! Thank you, Verdugos, for a great Valentine's dinner!! We pray you are the most successful restaurant in Downey!“

“Perfect to have a good time with family and friends.“

“Drinks are good and vibes are good. Gets packed on Fridays and Saturdays but still is a good bar for the area. Tee is a great bartender, very friendly and she makes good drinks and nice to talk to. The one thing I don’t like about this bar is that despite its cool heavy metal, goth Game of Thrones-esque design, there is not enough heavy metal playing. Still, pretty cool bar but please play more metal or at least classic Rock.“
