50 Best Cocktail Bars near South Gate

“3 pool tables the coldest, cheapest beer/ drinks in Southgate & Los Angeles CA. The owner Fred is a great person. A little ruff around the edges but the best damm bar in Southgate. The people there are awesome 💯. I come from Pasadena to Southgate just to drink beer and play pool . Let That sink in...“

“Good costumer service employees so nice and friendly“

“their food and drinks are great. local live sports. Friendly Staff“

“Was awesome to find a restaurant with my two favorites…GF and Southern!“

“love the Quality of Food😍😍😍“

“Amazing, always come here before the Kings games!“

“Great crowd around the pool table! Right between a dispensary AND a Japanese infused, vegan hotdog joint!“

“We had an amazing experience at Good Clean Fun! We reserved the patio for a small work event. The space was so nice. The food was delicious. I loved the pizzas, honestly some of the best I've had. Their wine selection is great, and they make a great Hugo Spritz.

Also, I have to shoutout Hunter! She was an incredible server. She was so kind, attentive, and flexible when our plans changed.

I wish I lived in LA just to be able to come here regularly! I'm looking forward to coming back whenever I visit.“

“I went to the Tonchin location in New York late last year, so I came into the Los Angeles location excited and with high expectations. The food was good overall. My wife did not quite understand the hype around it, but I personally thought it was solid, even though it did not stand out as much as the New York location.

Where the difference between the two locations stood out the most was in customer service. We had to wait nearly twenty minutes just to receive the check, and throughout the meal the server rarely came by to check on us. Because of this, the overall experience at the Los Angeles location fell short of what I experienced in New York.

I do recommend the regular tonkotsu ramen and the buns“

“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“Small and cute bar in a completely unexpected place. Good vibes and good drinks. Loved naked & famous, but also enjoyed the crowd- down to earth and nice. Good little gem in the neighborhood. Something is between upscale and speakeasy dive bar, not too loud, so you can actually enjoy the conversation. Bartenders sweet and cool. Service fast and easy. Would definitely come back to check other drinks on the menu.

Also decent old fashioned“

“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“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Some buddies and I came here looking for craft cocktails. They did not disappoint. We ended up coming two nights in a row. If Grant is behind the bar, you’re in great hands. Let him do his thing. He’s truly a bartending gem. This place is lucky to have him.“

“I swear this place is an absolute must-go! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is clean and stylish, and the service is top-notch. All of our plates came out fresh and full of flavor, and the staff made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing drinks or sitting down for a full meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely an amazing experience went here for the khmer new year and it was such a blast there was a lot going on and the bartender deserves to have a raise! He really set the mood! Every time he made a drink it was a whole show and made the drinks sooo great! I will be coming back for sure“

“I love this place. It's friendly, the bartender is an absolute sweetheart, the KJ is amazing, and they don't over serve and have overly drunk patrons there amd harassing other customers. Karaoke here is a blast and the KJ is very fair with the lineup. This is my new spot to hang after a long week. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Best cocktails in LA, beautiful space with matching beautiful people. Loved this place in New York for years, and this place brings an LA vibe to that legendary bar!“

“We spent a few hours here on New Year's Eve. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. The owner greeted us and offered us snacks.
They have a live DJ spinning turntables, bumping music from the past to present. There's an outdoor patio in the back.
The drinks were tasty and affordable. Try the Adios MthrFckr. Bomb!“

“While waiting for a show a couple blocks down at the belasco, we came here for a couple pre-showed drinks. The bartenders were excellent, the security outside was very friendly and helpful. Seating was no problem, though we arrived at 5:30 p.m. It did get much busier over the next one and a half hours.

What note that the bar can be ordered from both ends so often when there are six or seven people waiting on one end, a little hack to go to the other side will often get you quicker service. It is no fault of the bartenders, it's just that it takes a little time to order. Nice atmosphere, clean bathrooms. Will be back!“

“Just experience it for yourself. A secret place in Chinatown,Small place but amazing drinks with a private party room.“

“Everything great“

“Amazing bar, Jose was very nice; an amazing and attentive bartender. He made us feel very welcomed and made sure everything was on point!

The place is very cozy with a nice terrace where you can smoke while having your drink. I had a great time!

A place I would highly recommend.“

“My favorite place to hang in LA. The staff is super sweet, the food is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, particularly the Ginger Margarita, the atmosphere is gorgeous—whether you’re inside the stunning deco bar or outside on the beautiful patio. It’s a true gem.“

“I performed a Blues concert there this week in their large music hall & library with bar which adjoins a very busy bar room playing old school
recorded R&B. It's a lively and fun place to hang. There's cocktails, beer, music and pool tables. A diverse friendly crowd. They let you Postmate or bring food. There's even an outdoor patio.“

“Great service. Decor was chic. Service on point, not rushed. Great place for a date.“

“One of my Favorite Mexican food places in the area. It Sticks that they charge for parking, but that is my only not Positive remark.
Other than that, Such a Fun place and the food is Delicious and on the weekends or other special event you'll see and hear Mariachi's playing (and they take requests)! Do yourself a favor and go check out this Delightful place!!!!“

“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“

“In April, 2026, I was staying at a neighboring hotel and decided to go to Cabrillo, which is located inside the Proper hotel, for breakfast. I got a seat immediately after I arrived. The service was pretty good. I ordered oyster mushroom omellette, which is rarely found anywhere else, and toast. The food came pretty quickly and was awesome. The omelette had just the right amount of oyster mushroom. The toast, somehow, was extremely tasty. The food was plentiful as well. I took some of the toast with me and ate later in the day. The total bill was somewhat on the high side (at about $40), but I thought that the food was worth it. I would gladly go back there again.“

“Should b called Lakewood’s Best kept secret!! Hahahaa those that kno...then ya kno!!“

“We came here for a birthday lunch and ordered the Truffle Mushroom Pizza, the Market Chop salad and the Shrimp Pasta. The salad and shrimp pasta was absolutely delicious but the pizza was... okay. The service was great and I would definitely come back again for another meal.“

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

“Always a good time at Roxanne’s!!“

“The food was delicious and a great place to dine. Next time bring some friends and enjoy the food“

“Pacific standard was great, awesome service and staff. The perfect place to celebrate my birthday.“

“Amazing happy hour menu! Our favorites were the chicken heart skewer, shishito with bacon skewer, and squid ink karaage. Really liked the “For Goodness Sake” cocktail too, very balanced and not too sweet. We’ll definitely be back to try more items!“

“Sun light hours, this is a neighborhood bar with 50% of patrons being regulars. Staff knows everyone, and it's very welcoming. Come at night if you want a good drink and a loud dive bar. Pool table, golden tee, and they just added 2 dart boards. Live music a few nights a week. Cheap prices here don't mean cheap drinks.“

“Love this place. Great atmosphere and friendly people.“

“Great venue to see British Steal on their monthly appearance heavy metal foundry“

“great views . very romantic“

“Nice location for an large event. www.Instagram.com/MG4Synergy/“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“Sawa is easily a top-10 restaurant in my opinion. The chef deserves a star. The entire experience went beyond my expectations, truly outstanding. I had so much fun dining there; the environment is friendly, and every bite was delicious. The host was spectacular, especially for suggesting we split the sake pairing, for someone who doesn’t drink much, it was more than enough. I’m already looking forward to coming back.“

“This is the spot if you need a good, cold drink & a chill, old school vibe. I don’t like bars that have windows & Poor Denny’s is old school in that regard. Ever since Ember’s Lounge closed down, this has been my spot. It’s cash only, but there’s a ATM machine there. I love the digital jukebox that allows you to play all kinds of music. The bartenders are always nice & they have wonderful hands on the pours. ? Good vibes & mellow times here.“

“Came here with the boys on a Saturday night of debauchery. Always drive by, never went in. Decided to visit instead of the bikini bar across the street. Very pleased, excellent prices, awesome regulars(from what I could tell). Very chill and welcoming. They had karaoke going which was fun. Cash only though.“

“Super fun bar in dtla! Enjoyed the atmosphere, music, and drinks. Definitely going back!“

“Masiosare mocktail bar is redefining the drink scene with its focus on all-natural ingredients, expertly crafted beverages, and amazing customer service.

The attention to detail in every drink is apparent. The talented bartender mixes herbs, fruits, and spices, creating concoctions that are unique and delicious!!

Each mocktail is a work of art – vibrant, visually appealing, and bursting with fresh, natural flavors. Whether you're indulging in a tangy citrus blend, a cooling cucumber concoction, or a deep, herbaceous infusion, you’re sure to find something that suits your taste. The drinks aren’t just satisfying your thirst; they’re a treat for the senses, thoughtfully balanced and carefully curated to offer an experience that’s indulgent. Cheers!! 🍹🍸“

“A solid addition to the area, even with all the sushi options around. Service is fast and friendly. Got a to-go order with my wife and was particularly impressed by the yellowtail collar and softshell crab cut roll. Everything we ordered was good and we'll definitely be back.“

“Very friendly and fun place“
