50 Best Cocktail Bars near San Fernando

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“I had a wonderful time coming here today for lunch. There parking on the back of the restaurant where you can also enter from or the front where it's meter parking but you have complimentary two hours.

This location has a indoor and outdoor seating if you just want to enjoy some delicious food and watch sport games. The restaurant isn't that big but it works for them. The staff here are wonderful and customer service is great.

I like the hot dog, burgers and fries here. The price is reasonable and you get a good portion. There bar seating here and you get a good view of the television.“

“First time here and experience was great
Quickly seated on a Friday evening with no wait time
Ordered Salmon Bowl which was delicious and cooked to perfection
Our waiter, Frankie, was very pleasant
Only bad thing was they try to clear your plate too fast, wasn’t done with appetizer and it was taken away Same thing with entree, was just putting last bite into mouth and table clearer was right behind me asking to take plate away
Other than that food is fresh and delicious“

“Had a great experience here. The vibe and overall atmosphere was calming and quiet. Not say there weren’t any customers, there were plenty, but just a very nice place to hang and have some cocktails and chat. Would recommend, and the bartenders were super friendly and chill, and knowledgeable about the drinks and flavor profiles.“

“We enjoyed the drinks as well as the food and the ambience 👍🏽😎“

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!“

“Maui Sugar Mill Saloon is one of those rare places that feels less like a typical night out and more like stepping into a living, breathing slice of local culture.

From the moment you arrive, there’s an immediate sense that this venue has its own personality. It doesn’t try to imitate modern, overly polished entertainment spots—instead, it embraces a more authentic, slightly vintage, and effortlessly cool atmosphere. That character alone makes it stand out in a world where many places start to feel interchangeable.

What truly makes this place special is its energy. There’s a certain unpredictability in the best possible way—you never quite know how the night will unfold, but you can be sure it will be memorable. The space feels intimate yet lively, with a layout that naturally encourages connection, conversation, and shared experiences.

One of the strongest impressions comes from the live entertainment. The performances here don’t feel like background noise—they feel like the heartbeat of the room. Whether it’s music, local talent, or spontaneous moments that happen throughout the night, everything contributes to an atmosphere that feels genuine and unforced. It’s the kind of place where you catch yourself getting fully absorbed in the moment without even realizing it.

The crowd adds another layer to the experience. There’s a nice mix of regulars and newcomers, all blending together in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It creates a sense of community that is increasingly rare to find. People aren’t just passing through—they’re part of the experience, even if just for the evening.

The staff plays an important role in maintaining that vibe. Friendly, attentive, and grounded, they help keep everything running smoothly while still preserving the laid-back spirit of the place. There’s no sense of rush or pressure—just an easygoing approach that lets the night unfold naturally.

What I appreciated most is that Maui Sugar Mill Saloon doesn’t rely on flashy gimmicks. Its charm comes from authenticity. It’s a place that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else. That confidence translates into a consistently enjoyable experience where the focus is simply on good moments, good energy, and good company.

By the end of the visit, it’s not just about what you saw or heard—it’s about the feeling you leave with. A sense of having been part of something real, something local, something that still values atmosphere and human connection over trends.

It’s the kind of place you don’t just visit once. You return because it feels familiar, comfortable, and alive in a way that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. A true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates live energy, community spirit, and a relaxed, unforgettable night out.“

“Great experience and amazing Thai food at this location.

The ambience here is amazing. Very rustic feel indeed, giving meaning to its name Rustic Spoon.

They have parking in the back and when walking in, you immediately are transformed into an experience. The ambience slaps you in the face and doesn’t let go.

We had drunken noodles and Kropaw chicken basil stirfry that was amazing. We started with Tom Kah soup and super yummy.

Come check the place out. Support the local businesses and have some amazing food.

Oh, almost forgot to say that they’re bloody lychees are out of this world. Amazing drink with pomegranate and lychee, and I would come back for just this.“

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“A must place for a sports“

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

“Even though we were tourists, it was a very friendly local bar with a great atmosphere! The bartender was very kind even though he translated it into Papago for us because he couldn't speak English. The atmosphere was very nice and there were a lot of different beers, which was great! From a foreigner's perspective, coming to a local bar can be very scary, but this place was very comfortable, friendly, and fun! And the store had a nice atmosphere and the bathroom was clean, so I really liked it! It was a store near my accommodation, and I want to go there again before I go back to Korea! It was a store where everyone was satisfied :)“

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

“Loved everything about this place!
Staff was excellent and attentive. Food was amazing and very, very creative. The brick barrel vaulted ceiling that runs the length of the restaurant really adds to the ambiance of this place. Out of the seven dishes, only two were not as flavorful as expected. They were good by most other restaurant's standards, but just not great like the others. The other five dishes more than made up for this small blip.Can't wait to go again.

Must tries:
Quail Deviled Eggs with Ahi Tuna and Dill are amazing!!
Hamachi with sprouted broccoli, tempura, ponzu, shiso aioli, Black Sesame Seeds
Charred Brussels Sprouts with almonds, grapes, and Pecorino Romano
Lamb chops with Aji Amarillo, rosemary, and yogurt. These were the most tender lamb chops I have ever had. And that often overly-lamb flavor was not there.
And do not pass up on the Charred Skirt Steak with yuca, chile de árbol, and aji mojo. Cooked to a perfect medium rare and extremely tender and exploding with flavor. The most expensive item of our dinner at $48 and absolutely worth it.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“On Valentine's Day, my friend and I looked for a good restaurant to take our family. We found this restaurant called Blossom on Ventura blvd. But I looked in reviews and I saw some 1 star. I can not judge someone's reviews because if you see some unhappy customers with 1 or 2 stars, where are the other 1000 happy customers? We called and reserved the table, We arrived around 8pm for dinner. The place was packed, all the tables full, live music and a good lighting system put you in a good mood. We said definitely this is the place we want. We really enjoy the place. We had good food and a full liquor bar. Hard to find In LA to be all one place with good food, drink, DJ and dance floor. Definitely we will go there again and highly recommend it.“

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

“Came in after passing by many times and I am so glad I did. The food was simply phenomenal, the service was so good - attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the extensive menu and specials. Even the ambiance was such a fun balance of coastal Italian, California kitsch and nostalgia. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back.“

“Love the people and food is amazing!!“

“🥃🙂👍 Jeff is a great bartender!“

“Beautiful restaurant and bar with tasty food and great service. I’ll be back!“

“Terrible place duchie not mad“

“Pretty much the only bar I went to before the quarantine, and I am thankful they have created a socially distanced patio so I can start going back.“

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

“Something that can't be explained, an atmosphere that takes you back to times when people knew how to enjoy a good drink, exceptional service, Carlitos the owner with his exceptional charisma, and simply the best place to spend time with friends. 1000% recommended! Come and enjoy something that feels like stepping back in time. Thank you for existing!“

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

“Great music, beautiful views and excellent drinks and service. My experience was fantastic!“

“I love this place. A group of us found this awesome spot when we were looking for an easy after work watering hole, and we’ve been back every Friday for adult beverages since.
The atmosphere is fun, but not too loud. The service is great, and the drinks won’t break the bank. What more can you ask for?“

“Luis was awesome! Excellent service!“

“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.“

“great atmosphere..great service fine dining with fresh view spent 101$ feed five people with drinks 3 appetizers very fine experience..“

“Great food service and the atmosphere was wonderful.“

“Great food! Friendly staff and quick service. Casual atmosphere.“

“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 with DJ music at Patio“

“Great food. Great environment“

“Great Ceasar salad and pork chop“

“My husband & I stopped by this place for dinner. We got the avocado egg rolls, finney burger, smash burger, and sweet potato fries. My favorite thing was the sweet potato fries! Our server, Toby , was super attentive and kind. He made us feel very welcome and it was our very first time in the area so that was nice. He brought refills of our drinks before we even asked - something you rarely experience. Good food & great service. Highly recommend!“
