50 Best Bars near Sun Valley

“Stunning bar, perfect atmosphere!!!!!

I was SO SAD I was not able to stay due to a long drive and only was able to stop by for a cold brew coffee. They closed at 2 am though so I was so grateful they even served me at I think 10 min till close!

If I go back to LA some day, I WILL be visiting this bar! And not 1-10 min before they close!!

“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!“

“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.“

“Food was excellent! Great atmosphere! Definitely coming back the next time I’m in LA!!“

“After reading the outstanding reviews, we came here on an early Sunday evening (we were in town visiting family) and decided to check it out. We literally had the bar to ourselves (we were told it's usually In the Biz night after 10pm). Harper and Marshall were absolutely amazing bartenders serving up incredible drinks (between the five of us, we tried all of the specialty cocktails - MUST TRY them ALL!).

Harper had us playing Bingo too! Great vibes, conversations and enjoyed the reel to reel music. Definitely recommend going! Only drawback is parking but other than that, it lives up to its reviews!“

“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.“

“Great little community watering hole. Beer only and no food but there is a fantastic food truck out front.

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is wheelchair accessible“

“Fun! Fun! Fun! With a VIEW! Owned/run by the same guys who own/run iconic Bar Chain MR. FURLEY’S — which just had it’s grand opening in my hometown GLENDALE on Brand Blvd. — DEFO CHECK THEM OUT!!! 🙌🏻“

“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.“

“The restaurant is the best. One of a kind menu. The chef do this weird but really creative culinary plates that doesnt make sense, you cant even imagine how it will taste, but i know for sure it will be really boom. You will be fascinated. I am an honest and serious customer. Although the place its just a little small and i will change it to 5 star once i think it deserve it. In my opinion. Customer service really good. Security, bartenders as well do their job as it should be. Just the small room doesnt make me go up to 5 star, but we'll see sometime.“

“I love the atmosphere at this place. The seating can fill up quickly depending on the day and I find the music is loud. My favorite place to sit is the stools on the outside that have a lovely view to the liveliness inside. Great spot for friends, dates or even alone!“

“It's a great place to enjoy great people.“

“Amazing decor, killer bands, great staff… When I come down from Vegas, SS is a must stop.“

“We will be back ! Awesome vibe.“

“Walked and found this little gem ❤️“

“very chill place and lots of fun“

“Delicious and great service“

“I would give 10 stars if I could! The vibe was absolutely amazing. Something we didn’t know was that we can bring food in from the neighboring restaurants. The drinks were on point and service was awesome. And the ambiance ahhhh so divine!“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“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)“

“The Manager is the best, wonderful to guest. The food delicious. The plates are big. The place clean and the vibe is peaceful and classy. Each spot with it's own music so you don't miss out. The apple delicious desert. Took me back to Virginia, known for the apple pie's. 🍎“

“Great with DJ music at Patio“

“I visited the establishment on a Sunday evening. To my delight, it was not overly crowded, which created a pleasant ambiance. The atmosphere of the place was quite enjoyable.

The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend their chicken BLT and their delectable fries.

Although I did not order their impossible sliders on this occasion, I intend to try them during my next visit.

The alcoholic beverages on the menu appeared enticing, but I did have my usual drink, which was a Malibu rum with coke. It was prepared precisely to my liking.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and anticipate returning in the future.

I would wholeheartedly give this establishment a perfect rating of 10 out of 10. And serve was a big 10 as well!
I'm coming back for sure! ?“

“Love, love, love! This place has the cutest vibe and great stuff! The charcuterie boards are so good! I’ve tried the cold brew as well very good! This time we decided to get rosé. They have a great wine selection and their staff are so sweet! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“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!“

“Pretty much the only bar I went to before the quarantine, and I am thankful they have created a socially distanced patio so I can start going back.“

“Excellent in all ways if DELICIOUS food and a cocktail is your pleasure...one of them anyway. SENSIBLE 💡 Don Miguel IS the master atmosphere creator.. SALUD 🥃🙏🏽🌹“

“I love Spitz. The food is superb and flavorful, the fries are actually the best in LA maybe? The staff has always been kind to me and the environment is great. I lean towards takeout but love the experience of eating in too. Good spot to meet friends. The sangria is delish“

“Really cool atmosphere. Love all the vegan options. Wish there were more pool tables but the space is pokey. Only disappointment was the ‘pretzel’ appetiser was just Pretzilla pretzel buns and some sauce…

Dietary restrictions: Almost everything can be made or is vegan.“

“Love love love it. Get the wild shrimp, Mac and cheese and wagyu ribeye.“

“This is more of a PSA for the youngins and newbies: tip the performers. If you're tipping a self-serve kiosk definitely bring 1s, 5s, or and 20s to tip these drag performers. It's out of respect and for their financial well-being. They're great.“

“Traveled many the miles to come to this bar. Best experience in LA and easily the most delicious bespoke cocktails. Michael knows his craft damn well and will care to teach you. This is a must stop when in town. Much love to Kelly and Michael. Can’t wait to be back.“

“This place is a haven for ALL of geekdom. As a fan of the show, Fatman Beyond, we HAD to visit the Scum and Villainy Cantina during our SoCal vacation. It was even better than we imagined! It was smaller than expected, but what it lacked in size, it made up for with ambience. It was obvious how much heart went into it's creation. You could see J.C. Reifenberg's passion for sci-fi/fantasy in the decor. In addition, the staff was so incredibly friendly, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The menu was creative and the food/drinks were delicious. To top it all off, Bamf Man, himself, came to our table and talked to us while we were there! Incredible experience!

“The Rendition Room is hands down my favorite spot in LA. From the moment you step through the hidden bookshelf door, it’s like you’ve been transported back to the 1930s…intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of mystery. But what really makes this place shine is Richy. He’s not just a bartender; he’s a mixologist in every sense of the word. Every drink he makes feels like it’s been crafted just for you. Beyond that, Richy’s warmth and sincerity are what truly set him apart. You’re not just another customer to him…he makes you feel welcome, like an old friend, every time you stop by. The Rendition Room nails it when it comes to atmosphere, cocktails, and overall vibe. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want a cool night out, this is the place. It’s a hidden gem that never disappoints.“

“A restaurant that makes life fun 😃“

“Been coming here for years. I love the ambulance. Happy hour 5 until 8 pm and then they have beer and shot specials all night and specialty cocktails

Parking: Depending on the day and time, we can see anywhere from paid to free street parking. If not free neighborhood parking but please be CONSIDERATE“

“Amazing place for drink and food . The vibe is super chill. They always have amazing DJ and the cherry on top they have a pill table ? $1 each game 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“I have not visited your establishment but you most definitely deserve 5 stars for your contribution of feeding the first responders currently fighting the LA fires!

Thank you! 🙏

I haven't visited his establishment, but he definitely deserves 5 stars for his contribution in feeding first responders currently fighting the Los Angeles fires.

Thank you 🙏“

“It's a small dolphins bar. Glad we came, My boyfriend is a huge dolphins and heat fan. Everyone who came cheered on the dolphins and they won the game. Seats were filled and packed with dolphin fans! It was great. I found one seat at the bar and the owner Tony was really nice. Got me a beer right away and my friends came we enjoyed a pizza from Lucifers from down the st and enjoyed the night.

Parking: Parking is on the street. And you can find any spot nearby. It's not a far walk. Or behind the bar too..

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheel chair accessible. Wide wall ways when entering the bar“

“Prob one of the best veggie burgers I've had in a long while. The impossible patty is thick n juicy and it is cooked on a separate skillet than the other foods. On Monday's the burgers are only $11! 😁 Cute spot for the gays to gather casually.“

“The people, the service, and the whole experience has definitely changed my thoughts on what a "night at the bar" truly is! That being said the only warning I have is that you might have too much fun and trade whatever fine drinking establishment you currently attend, for this precious little jewel; hiding in Montrose. There is something for everybody. They are doing something right at Gilligan's. It truly checks all the boxes. Sports✓Pool✓Darts✓Karaoke✓ I Love this place and will continue coming back for the foreseeable future and I am making the trip from the West End of the Valley....Uber Loves my new found obsession with this bar that makes you feel like you're on the cast of Cheers or Coach or dare I say; Happy Days!(but not tacky or outdated) just this familar feeling of being apart of a family! Need I say more? Whether it's your birthday, that new promotion, or you just want to celebrate waking up another day; this is the spot to go! See ya there....I mean here!! Lmao“

“I am very appreciative of folks at the Bourbon Room because I bought tickets to see Joey McIntyre’s show. I’m a Deaf fan and I needed sign language interpreters to interpret so that my friend and I would enjoy the show. Typically, venues usually avoid/ignore responding to my initial email/call when I try to coordinate interpreters request but they did not. The folks at Bourbon room were friendly, responsive, and arranged my requests VERY quickly in a short amount of time! I was impressed and grateful! And when my friend and I arrived at the venue, from the guy standing outside to folks indoor— everyone was very kind and made sure we were comfortable and our communication access were met. We left feeling really good and we had a great time! Thank you Bourbon Room folks! ❤️🙏🏼😘“
