24 Best Pubs 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...“

“Great food and wonderful service by our waiter David. Large portions.“

“Great food. I ordered the chicken blt and chips and salsa. The salsa wasn't hot enough but ooh well it was good enough. Andrew the bartender was amazing. The karoke was nice. My only problem is the karoke host did not at any time wipe down any mics after countless people used it and with the drinks flowing and people having a good time like me that made me nervous. I wanted so bad to get up there and sing.“

“I stopped by Maggie’s Pub & Banquet Hall and it feels like a classic neighborhood pub with a lot more space than you’d expect. The place is pretty big, with a large bar area and a separate banquet hall that’s often used for parties and events. It has that relaxed, old-school pub vibe where people come to watch sports, grab drinks, and hang out with friends.

The menu is mostly comfort bar food. I tried a fish and chips plate and some wings, and they were solid—simple, satisfying, and perfect with a cold beer. Some popular items here include seafood dishes, sandwiches, and classic pub plates like prime rib or pastrami sandwiches.

One thing that stands out is the venue size. The banquet hall can host large events with hundreds of guests, so the place often holds parties, comedy nights, or special celebrations.

Overall, it’s not a fancy restaurant, but if you’re looking for a casual pub with drinks, live events, and hearty comfort food near Los Angeles, Maggie’s Pub is a fun spot to check out.“

“(Translated by Google) It is the best place for a group of guests. The food is especially delicious. There are large rooms and small rooms, so they are perfect for groups. Parking is also not inconvenient. Of course, there is a large hall, so it is good not only for singles but also for couples.(Original)단체손님인 경우에는 최적의 장소이다. 특히 음식이 맛있다. 큰룸과 작은룸이 있어서 그룹으로 가기에 안성맞춤이다. 파킹 또한 불편함이 없다. 물론 넓은 홀이 있어서 혼자서 뿐만 아니라 커플이 가기에도 좋다.“

“Nice place to go with friends to hangout. DJ on the weekends is very good, great music to dance to.“

“🙂👍 Abel, Leo, and all the employees do a great job!“

“This place has great BBQ and great cocktails. I stopped on my way over the hill to Santa 213 Pub and Jjam Pong and had the smoked chicken spring salad and a cocktail. The bartender was a nice personable guy and the the chicken in the salad was nice and moist. I will be back!“

“The hotel is top notch. The suites are spacious, clean, and high class. They keep renovating and making everything nicer. The employees are super nice and the food at The Brewery was delicious. I love The Bicycle Casino! Always a great time.“

“Its been a long time establishment in the community catering to its devoted clientele, especially to its hispanic and LGBTQ community. As recently as last Friday night, the Silver Platter has prevailed in its effort to provide an outlet of entertainment and appreciation for the community that it supports.
They've upgraded their environment and at one time also provided valet parking, however, with the current stringent limited parking availability, it's been difficult to accommodate and support this historic bar; very much worth a visit though. With the support of those who know this bar well, they should be commended to continue to support a mainstay of L.A.

It's been a while since I posted the above review. It's January 31, 2026. The Silver Platter, subject to being evicted and demolished should definitely be relocated. Its historic value and undeniably a dive bar, provides an ambiance that is unique to its community. Those that can't appreciate the need and value of this establishment in serving the community are too quick to criticize its patrons and deficiencies. This place is a haven to many. It exists to enjoy a cold beer, enjoy the music, people watch and have some fun. We should do what we can to keep the Silver Platter thriving!“

“I came here two years ago for a drink and when I came back to the area, made sure to try the food. I ordered the bacon kimchi pasta and wow it was good. Spicy, creamy, savory- one of the best restaurant dishes I’ve had in a while.“
