Bars near South El Monte

“I grew up here in San Gabriel valley area. Was our spot every Friday night or Sunday morning in the 90s and early 2000 I haven't been there for years. I hope to come and visit soon♥️🥰“

“nice place for a cold beer and banda music“

“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. 🧡“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“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“

“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“
