50 Best Bars near San Gabriel

“I love it here! Good atmosphere!“

“Really enjoyed the overall dining experience here. The bar had a cozy and welcoming vibe, and the restaurant served fresh and well prepared food. Staff members were polite, service stayed quick, and the atmosphere made it a perfect place for relaxing with friends.“

“A typical fancy omakase meal that I’m not sure if I would come back.

The menu only had 2 choices, wagyu or seafood set, $128 person. I enjoy most of the food, out of 11 courses, there 4 dishes with different type of steak, while the meat is good I think I expected more creativity?( Caz honestly I could probably do that at home myself with the quality of the meat).

I feel the restaurant lacks decoration compare to most fancy upscale restaurant, so without the atmosphere, the vibe, the setting. I think the experience would be for food for the most part … and I feel like they could make it more fancy if that make sense“

“Well let’s say I going to compare other tacos to this one . So far top of my list ! I will definitely recommend eating here and maybe when you do invite me !“

“Absolutely Awesome Bar and very spacious 😍“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“Loved this place. We came in on a random Tuesday when the world cup happened to be on and they still accommodated us and went above and beyond to give us excellent service. The food and the drinks were also good. Overall great experience and we'll definitely be back.“

“I've been there once and it was fine last time. The cocktails were quick and the atmosphere was good. Overall, it was pretty good“

“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!“

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

“The Angeleno Spritz was just what I needed after a long day of minor disappointments, that and the genuine smile from the tattooed guy working the bar this evening who was refreshingly upbeat and worked the room like a pro. So glad I stopped in!“

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

“Love this place, such a wonderful neighborhood gem. I'm so glad they're still here. Love the daily pop ups, especially my Triple Beam pizza! Cocktails are fantastic and love the wine selection. This place is on repeat for a reason. 🧡“

“Stopped by The Airliner and had a really good experience. The food and drinks were fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented, making for an enjoyable visit.

The place has a relaxed, modern atmosphere that works well for both a casual meal and a coffee break. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Great spot to unwind and enjoy good food 👍“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Such a vibe! Had an amazing experience. Highly recommend.“

“Capri Club has the best staff, they went above and beyond to make my pre-birthday dinner drinks and snacks top shelf! We always have an incredible time at Capri Club and we feel so lucky to have an unpretentious spot like this in Eagle Rock. 🥰“

“Simple fun, relaxed atmosphere, great little place“

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

“Great place for a late night hangout with friends. Love music!“

“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.“

“pinball and atmosphere. if your friends even want to judge then they aren't your friends 😆#puropari“

“Did my popup there on a Saturday and it was super fun!!! The whole Verdugo team were slammed but kept it together and stayed super positive and welcoming. The clientele were very friendly and patient. Everyone was mingling and the DJ was doing pretty good. I need to go back and dance!“

“This is a cool spot for local artists. Was there to support a friend. Good spot for a night out of music and drink with balcony view. And pool table. Has downstairs and upstairs. Want to find some new artists, go here! Music and good vibes. ENJOY!“

“I don’t know why it took me 6 years to write this review… but Hermosillo really is hermoso/beautiful. I love this place. I go so often they already know my order before I even say it. That alone says everything. The service is always great, the vibe is perfect, and the food never misses. The ceviche with a golden pils is honestly all you need to be happy once… or 2 or 3 times a week 😂

Only funny thing is when the new bartender asks me for my ID every other day and I’m like “y’all are about 6 years too late asking me now” lol.

But seriously, this spot feels like home. Great people, great drinks, great food. One of my favorite place ever.“

“Great place to come and hangout.“

“Cool place and interesting drinks but the inside is definitely giving modern cocktail bar more than lounge/speakeasy- so if you just want an interesting stop definitely go for it but if your looking for that specific aesthetic this isnt really it“

“Great atmosphere, comfortable, drinks are AMAZING!!! Staff are attentive, and courteous. Definitely will be returning!“

“A go-to small bar to watch any major event. I live down the street and this spot has cemented itself as a staple of the community for such events. Staff are friendly, 3 restrooms, plus separate stalls for men, the place is constantly being watched for empty beer bottles/trash. I've enjoyed my visits here ☺

The outdoor area is covered by a huge tree that gives plenty of shade. On top of that, the place isn't noisy unless it's a weekend night.“

“Johnny's was a great vibe all around service great, good music, cocktails are great very balanced took a date there twice and we both liked the vibe we will definately be back. I dont know why so many 1 star reviews complaning and comparing to the old way Jonhnnys bar under that management tables were filthy weird smell, bar top sticky and drinks were cheap but taste horrible. This new Johnnys is an uopgrade. I personally have even inquired to work as a bartender there because I like how balance the drinks are. I love the fact they add Amaro to an Long Island Iced Tea“

“MY GOD!! I wish i could fully describe our experience here! We went for my partners 30th birthday l. The staff were beyond hospitable. If you’re looking for a restaurant where the atmosphere is amazing. Food is 10/10 but the servers really treat you like you are in their home this is the place. I wish I could rate them more stars. Plus they sent us home with some fresh fruit from their trees.“

“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!“

“What a Great Pub!
Was fortunate to have been served by Stephanie both evenings I've been.
Met some really Cool locals, had a blast playing Pool and there's a massive patio in the back. Best bang for the Buck 💵!
Fun Place🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Had the Texas prime beef brisket sandwich. I’m from Texas and tastes like home. Definitely check this place out. Will be coming back for sure!!!“

“We were able to catch the game!“

“😁wonderful place!! lots of fun“

“Endroit hyper typique ! Bonne musique, cocktails d’un excellent niveau et à un prix tout à fait honnête, tous les classiques sont dispo et le barman tient la corde niveau cordes vocales !! Excellente carte de dîner ! Nous n’avons pas testé le grill … seul regret de la soirée. Il faut qu’on y retourne, absolument“

“Cool place to hang in Old Town Pasadena. Live music and a chill atmosphere.“

“Come drink here and enjoy yourself“

“Recently celebrated my partner's (surprise) birthday at The Goldfish and the night couldn't have gone any better. We had EXCEPTIONAL service in their new private party space. I was able to order food in party sized platters and my custom requests (they personalized a Happy Birthday sign!) were all executed with perfect attention to detail. The ambience and food I already knew is a 10/10 as I frequent Sticky Rice. Bar, food, arcade games, billiards, they truly have everything you could need for celebrating a special occasion or just for a great night out with friends. Highly recommend. BIG FAN, thank you The Goldfish!!“

“Best pub in the Altadena area. It is a family run business, and really, a more traditional "public house." Not too many places like this around! Guiness and other European ales on tap. Nice selection of wines too. Say hi to Judah, Gail & family and help support Altadena!“

“Top shelf tap house and chilled bottle shop. Largest variety of carry out beer in Whittier. All killer, no filler. Great staff, great service, great management. Clean bathrooms, nice clientele. No complaints. I will continue to drive distance to visit this place.“

“This place is narrow but an absolute gem of a place for live fairly intimate music performances. The sound system is great, the service even better, and the crowd very fun. It's also incredibly convenient to get to via train from Union Station so you really kinda have zero excuse if you get a DUI.

Not sure how the table situation works but I'm assuming you have to get there early to score one or at the bar. Otherwise it's standing room only with a few loose stools toward the rear atrium section.

The only true but minor inconvenience is the having to swipe/pay for every drink purchase. I get the why but the service and drink options make up for it.“

“Beautiful bar, great bartenders (who make GREAT drinks), and even an adorable doggie who wanders around making everyone smile 😊“

“Great choice of beers and exceptional service in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Room to sit and relax outside with heaters and exquisite foliage. The bar is a great place to hang out and try out new beers.“

“New in town, so I drop by on a weekday to check out the scene but to my dismay I lost my driver's license/id and tried to use my expired id. The security guard follows the rules but still made me feel welcome so I respect that. She allowed me to come in but I couldn't buy alcohol.Bartenter was polite. Overall this looks like a good place to have fun on weekends. I'll be back when I fix my ID issue thanks.“

“I want to thank Donegan for his fantastic help in finding a commercial property for lease. He is a true professional and a genuinely great person to work with. His expertise made the process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Donegan to anyone looking for commercial real estate. Thanks again, Donegan!“

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

“I've been to D14 easily over 15 times. Whether its just for a beer, food, or both it is always a great time. Vibes and atmosphere are great. Amazing food and drink options. The owner and staff are all very welcoming and open environment, the art changes every few months to highlight local artists. I've even hosted birthday gatherings with over 20 people, and everyone has loved it. Great spot to go solo or in a group. 10/10 would recommend!“

“My brother and I biked from Santa Ana to the Dodger stadium. We wanted some quick beers before we took the metro link back home. Cam took care of us, we had great beers, good hummus, and an interesting conversation. Too bad we were on a rush to get to the train, else we would have stayed longer. Coming from Orange County, LA always surprises me with places like this, definitely recommend this place if you are traveling from LA to OC.“
