They gave us a lot of salsas too and every single one was so good! Especially the habanero one! Will def be back and strongly recommend you go too!!“

“Nice golf course especially for beginners. They 18 holes of par 3’s and driving range.“

“Love this place.
Cannot vouch for the food yet, as I've not tried anything
I can vouch for the Service, which is comfortable and casual, yet still professional.
The atmosphere is tasteful for a bar, grill, open-late place. Comfortable booths, dance floor, live band section, and bar. It's closed-in in that you can be inside and nicely disconnected from the busy street right outside.

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly, in my opinion.
Then again, I have thus far only visited in later evening when kids ought to be asleep.“

“Amazing ambience and Andrea was incredible. Went over and beyond to accommodate our needs.
The food, the drinks were great!
Highly recommend it ! We will be back!
Loved the bike museum and the special tour by Kenny“

“Food, wine, service and vibes were exceptional! We made resys for a wine night and the outdoor seating was cozy, with a heated lamp keeping us warm. Our server was sweet and helped us sample some wines - we chose an orange wine and sparkling wine which both paired perfectly with the food.

For food, highly rec the mentaiko spaghetti, fries with yuzu aoili, chicken wings, and citrus salad! Dessert is a must - loveee the hojicha tres leches and black sesame rice krispy.

Portions are small, but perf for sharing with friends and wine selection is lovely.“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“I’ve never had a bad time here. Even though it’s a place that’s mostly people going with friends, I’ve never felt unwelcome going by myself. The workers are nice and the drinks are made strong and cold the way they should be. It’s a chill vibe. They don’t do stuff like karaoke, so if you want a party kinda place this wouldn’t be ideal, but if you enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere, then it’s perfect.“

You can order via a QR code and get a text when your food is ready. Drink menu is great! Bartenders are friendly.“

“Stopped in for some cocktails and enjoyed the experience. Vibe is moody and cool, yet casual. I modified one of the cocktails despite some resistance from the server, but it turned out great. Hard to go wrong with bread and butter but that was delicious as well.“

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

“Amazing journey of flavors!“

“Great spot with a ton going on - I love what they’ve done with the place since taking over junkyard dog. The food and ambiance are great, they even have a pool tables on the patio. The bartender Peter was knowledgeable and friendly. 10/10 will definitely comeback for karaoke night! Thank you Peter and Drugstore Cowboy for a great place to grab a drink or play some pool!

Vegetarian options: The vegan chili is great for tacos or with the nachos!“

“Unique & Friendly, for motorcycle lovers“

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

“The waitress was very professional and explained the menu in a great way. Try it out! You won't regret it.

My only negative (which didn't really affect the food) was that I wanted it more spicy. I understand most people don't like high levels of spice so I am not holding that against them.“

“The San Fernando on San Fernando Road is a solid spot for a casual hangout. The service is always friendly, and their happy hour menu is definitely worth checking out—highly recommend the fish and chips and the fried pickles. Great vibes, good drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere.“

“Breakfast menu from 9am to 1pm!
However, there will be no coffee after 13:00 :((
I couldn't get a second drink because it was just before 1pm. However, it was a restaurant where you could relax and relax before the game at Dodger Stadium (^^)“

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly.

“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“

“Haven't been here for a couple of years, as the last time we didn't enjoy the company of rats. They didn't even offer to buy in. This last time we went to a different area and the brunch was great. Truly like the croissant style cinnamon rolls and breve. We also had both types of benedicts and they were great.“

“Wow. This is a hidden gem in DTLA. Highly recommend unless you're a jerk. Ha. Great drinks, great food and amazing service. Felt like I was just hanging with old friends having a very enjoyable evening. This is gonna be my go-to spot anytime I am hanging downtown.“

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

“Simple fun, relaxed atmosphere, great little place“

“Super cute place with very chic vibes! Delicious drinks and great food - came here for coffee(matcha) and brunch - everything was on point! Now I want to come back in the evening for cocktails - they’ve got an amazing cocktail menu as well!“

“The staff were so helpful and nice. I ordered sweet potato tacos on corn tortillas. Came out on flour. Kitchen was closed but the cook came back on to work to fix them and gave us complimentary guacamole and hummus. Everything was so tasty!! We will definitely come back again for food and drinks. Karaoke room inside bar too -so fun! Great vibes.“

“This place is always packed, even on weeknights. It’s a testament to the beverages and service. Drinks menu rotates so there’s always something new and interesting to try. You can also always get a classic cocktail as well. Beer and wine are also served here. There is a regular food menu with larger portions from opening until about 9 or 10 pm when they switch to their late-night menu which consists of small plates to pick at. Theres plenty of heat lamps outside for when it’s cold you can still sit comfortably during the winter.“

“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.“

“We will be back ! Awesome vibe.“

“The atmosphere is very good, it feels very domestic, and the band performance is also very exciting. The price of bartending is not expensive. I ordered a lot of food. My favorites were the mutton skewers and duck neck, which were delicious. Suitable for chatting and drinking with friends“

“Come drink here and enjoy yourself“

“I had fun! The cocktails are concocted with love and consideration. Delicious and flavorful. The staff is helpful with recommendations and kind. The bar is very popular and space is limited but once you get some room it's nice
We also had fries which were also well seasoned and flavorful.“

“Thoroughly enjoyed Far Bar’s happy hour, which runs from 3-7pm Monday to Friday, and all day Monday. Best value play is the Burger Special ($13), which includes fries and a Sapporo or soda.Wings are also excellent. Will try their shrimp tacos next! Service is awesome and the vibes are casual yet with a classy decor (especially outside). Love this historic spot!“

“We found ourselves starting off date night at Alma’s, ✨the only cider bar in Los Angeles AND with the biggest cider menu in the US and quite possibly the world✨ With so many delectable drinks in sight, we landed on a sour cider (me) and a Pilsner (him). Charcuterie Boards also are magically made right in front of you by the bartender, further giving off the Brooklyn vibe that’s fitting of the neighborhood?

Featured Graze Board: Big Plate (three cheeses, three meats, market pickles, corn nuts, bub & grandma’s sourdough bread)“

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

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“A great place to be in Los Angeles‼️“

“Johnny's strikes the perfect balance of being an old school dive bar you know and love and an elevated cocktail lounge with DJs spinning an eclectic mix of tunes depending on the night. Fast service, delicious drinks and a jukebox to play when the DJ takes off? What's not to love? ???“

“It’s a chill place with medium sound levels, not loud enough to hurt, but loud enough to fill the space. It’s got a great seating arrangement with tables, booths, bar, patio, and outdoor seating.

On the menu is food (if you come early enough), great craft beers that are fresh with clean tap lines, wine, seltzers, and N/A options. Some of the beers can be a little on the flatter side (just a bit). The service is prompt and polite.

It’s good for groups of all sizes (I would call ahead just in case it’s busy) and solo people as solo patrons do visit also so you won’t feel too weird, although most are in groups“

“I was told to review for a free Thai Iced Tea: Good atmosphere, the decor and lighting is beautiful! Good service, I went on a busy Friday night so it took a little longer to get the server's attention but they were soooo nice when they attended me. Not the best Thai food I've had, although I'm not a good guide for identifying Thai food authenticity. That said, the Pad Thai was not pleasing to my palette. Personally, it was too salty.
I do like that they their happy hour ends at 8pm on a Friday night, which is pretty late compared to other restaurants, and they are open late as well. Pad Thai -$17 + $4 to add chicken“

“We had a fantastic experience!The food was delicious, and the drinks were spot on. What made the evening even better was our server, Jennifer. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect for us. Her warm personality and excellent service really stood out. Definitely be coming back soon!“

“The sour beer was delicious. I love the 80s feel to the bar and the fact they have old school video games. Go Ms. Paxman. The food was decent too. Service was pretty decent, they could have come around a little more to check on our drinks, but that's sor of nit picking. Overall, would definitely return in my 80s attire.“

“Best bar in Hi Fi Perhaps the world.“

“What an incredible experience from start to finish! From the warm welcome as we walked in to the expertly crafted cocktails, every moment reaffirmed that we were in a top-tier establishment. The beer selection on draft was extensive, complemented by creative and unique cocktails that added a fun twist to the menu. The wine list was equally impressive, featuring selections from the U.S., Bordeaux, Burgundy, and beyond, catering to any wine enthusiast.

And how could I forget the food? Partnering with the exceptional restaurant next door elevates the experience even further, combining a world-class bar with a first-rate kitchen. It’s a no brainer! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great place to come and hangout.“
