Sports bar on the left, finer restaurant experience on the right. Deserves a closer look if you like American food.

This establishment is terrible two years ago. The bouncer was an asshole. He should be fired. Never eat that restaurant if you're looking for other places to eat in LA.

Used to really like this bar but today was a lot different! I came in to order a sidecar and both bartenders seemed to go out of their way not to serve me!! Crazy thing is I was sitting at the bar!! I tried to wave the guys down and they looked directly at me and helped the girls next to me! One asked what I was ordering then went down and started helping another party that had just arrived! After a few, I just left- I was having such a chill day that I didn't feel like fighting that battle!

The music, the drinks, the ambience, loved everything about this place. I couldn't think of a better place to spend a Friday out with friends. I'm not much of a Moscow mule gal, but their blueberry mule was to die for!

July 4th 7:50pm the front door j*** didn’t let us in to dine because I first asked to use the restroom, he said for customers only, I said yes we want to dine in but I need to use the restroom first. He refused us a table and said we don’t want your service. I’m reporting them for discrimination, that is awful and rude service. When I asked to speak to his manager he refused! I do see what the negative reviews mean now. Do not give them your business when they allow their staff to be that rude to customers!! It’s this guy in the picture, when I told him I’ll write a review he even laughed, how disrespectful can a person be?! I hope you have the worst night with your karma catching on, and someone treats you with the same disrespect one day.

Had a blast at a bar under new (younger) ownership in Santa Monica! They played all the hits, with the music videos and it's right by the pier! We had a blast with excellent customer service and drinks. Felt like we were back home, but we were just visiting.Can't wait to come back and see what else they have done to the place

Great spot to stop by on a night out with friends! My girlfriends and I came here to have some drinks and chat. We didn't see each other for a long time and needed a place that was not too loud. I don't drink alcohol, and I had enough options to choose from; I had one of their mocktails.They played some old-school throwback music videos on the screens. They have couches to chill at and shuffleboard to play with--a casual vibe.I love the fact that this place has many female stuff members! Our waitress and the bartenders were extremely welcoming and friendly.

Great place and great music. I love bars like this, the atmosphere is very cozy and the cocktails taste very good. I'm looking forward to come back.

Late night food find! My husband and I landed late at LAX, checked into our hotel and needed dinner. The Craftsman was open at 10:30 and still serving food along with great, strong drinks.We loved the dimly lit vibe, the friendly service and the old-school music videos projected around the bar. It was a low-key, casual and fun place to start our trip.
