50 Best Bars near Sylmar

“The service was excellent! Our server was incredibly attentive—she kept our chips, pico de gallo, and waters refilled throughout the meal and checked on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed for a relaxing dinner.

The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the shrimp fajitas while my husband had the asada tacos. The portions were perfect, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often. This place is excellent!“

“Always a good time, nice atmosphere, beautiful outdoor area,👍🏻‼️“

“This is the place to get your hair done! They have a stylist for everything! I love going to my girl Marcie there! She always does me right and gets my color perfect! This place is perfect for the whole family and they take walk ins! I promise this place won’t disappoint!!!“

“What a great find this place was, I have been looking for a genuine British place and this is it, so relaxing and friendly. A little bit of home. 🇬🇧“

“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.“

“The DJ it’s excelente it has a great sound and all kind of music“

“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!!!“

“Do they have dj what kind of music they play“

“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“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“We did not try the food, but the place looked clean and I would eat here. The bartender was fun and attentive. The DJ was having a great time and spinning a great mix of 80's, 90's and general good tunes. The clientele were nice and we had several conversations with guests. We will come back.“

“Great lighting for a first date! I sat at the bar, and the bartenders were very attentive and welcoming. I never had an empty glass. There's a good amount of space to mingle, and the atmosphere was chill and super friendly. The ladies bathroom is clean and private, and well maintained. Great job!“

“Always enjoy this place. The atmosphere and welcoming nature of this establishment is unparalleled. It’s my favorite spot to hang out and enjoy either live music or to have a fun night of Karaoke. Been going here for years and every time I leave I can’t wait to go back! Thanks guys! Cheers! We’ll see you soon.“

“Played darts with Steve on the first night I ever visited this location. Cheap drinks, great service, a touch tunes jukebox, and an electronic darts machine I so far have never seen anywhere else. Been an on-and-off regular here for the last 7 months - I love this venue! - Julio“

“My husband and I finally got to try the Sidecar Market in Newhall. The drinks were superb. Food was pretty good as well. The wait staff was very attentive. They literally checked on us every few minutes. We were there fairly early though so it had a casual vibe. No one other than us seemed to be dressed for dinner. The only downside was my husband asked if they could make a Ramos Gin Fizz. We have had it in New Orleans, where it originated, and in an upscale bar in Vegas. Both those experiences were incredible. The bartender said she didn't know what it was so he said nevermind and asked for something different. Well I guess she wanted to impress, looked it up and gave him one anyway. Unfortunately she failed miserably. There's a reason only a few places make it. It's an art and very labor intensive. He didn't want to send it back and drank it anyway. 🤔🤔 I didn't take a photo of it.“

“1st time at The Local. We enjoyed tasty food, reasonable prices, and great staff. The Dodger game was on and Francisco made sure everything was running smooth. We will be back (enjoyed sliders and fries)“

“Love the family treatment and my beers are always cold and tasty!“

“Shoutout to Tanner, the bartender last night. He was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made the experience better. Great energy, great hospitality, and solid drink recommendations. My friend and I both felt taken care of from start to finish. Big props to Tanner—he’s a huge asset to the bar. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I’ve been coming to this spot since it was the Celtic Raven, and I happened to walk in on Chela’s Cantina during its soft launch. I’ve been a regular ever since day one. The owner is phenomenal, and the crowd it attracts is just as great! friendly, welcoming, and full of good vibes.

There’s always something to do here: enjoy music, grab some food and drinks, hop on karaoke, or play a round of pool. While the alcohol selection is smaller compared to bigger bars, it actually introduced me to wine spirits and gave me a new appreciation for trying something different.

If you’re looking for a small, local atmosphere with a strong sense of community, I highly recommend Chela’s Cantina. It’s truly a hidden gem!“

“I stopped here to watch the Dodgers World Series game 1. This is the local dive bar, the crowd was loud but the Dodgers had a walkoff home run so I was expecting some noise. Pool table was old school, only a quarter to play with a chalkboard of who’s next. I had a fun evening and the lady behind the bar bought me a beer, how often does that ever happen. A five star evening for me!“

“O’Grady’s in Granada Hills is the kind of spot you go to for a good drink and end up staying because the vibe is just right. The energy’s great, the music’s always on point, and the drinks definitely hit the spot.

But let’s be real , she is the real star of the show is Courtney behind the bar. She doesn’t just pour drinks, she makes the whole night better. Quick with a smile, sharper with a comeback, and she’s got this charm that makes you wonder if she’s mixing drinks or just straight-up magic. I came in for a cocktail and left wondering how someone can make bartending look that good.

If you’re looking for a place where the atmosphere is fun and the company is even better, O’Grady’s is it. And if Courtney’s working? Let’s just say you’re in for more than just a great drink.

First time I have ever been but last time I will look for a bar! Ive gone back 4 nights in a row hoping courtney is working... she needs more days on!!

Dannie and Mary Lou are super nice to.“

“We had a nice existing, outdoor table stand with a weather destroyed table top. I shopped on the internet for a nice, teak table top. Restaurant Seating Barn Furniture had a good selection of teak table tops at good price points. We ordered a 36” round, teak table tops at and we really like it. It arrived in short order and the quality was nice. I teak oiled the top and bottom. It turned out fabulous!“

“*Unexpected Gem - My New Go-To Spot!*

I'll admit, I didn't expect to fall in love with El Potro Bar. At first glance, I thought it might not be my vibe, but boy was I wrong! This hidden gem has become my regular haunt, and for good reason.

The real stars of the show are bartenders Alejandra and Raquel. They're two of the kindest, most attentive, skilled and attractive bartenders I've encountered in ages. Their warm smiles, quick wit, and expertly crafted drinks make every visit a delight.

Sure, the atmosphere might be laid-back and slow-paced, but that's exactly what I've grown to appreciate. No pretentiousness, just genuine hospitality and a cozy ambiance that makes me feel right at home.

Alejandra and Raquel know their stuff, always willing to offer recommendations or whip up something special. Their passion shines through in every pour, and it's infectious.

Don't let the slow pace fool you - El Potro Bar has become my favorite spot to unwind, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a perfectly chilled beer.

*Recommendations:* Come on Thursday and Ask Alejandra for a bucket of cold beers!

*Will I return?* Absolutely, and with friends in tow!“

“Had such a great time last night , great bartenders , loved my drinks and Jell-O shots ... u can actually taste the alcohol not like other bars .... I recommend this place , they made me feel welcomed“

“I didn’t get any food here but it was a chill bar with cheap drinks. I really wanted to come on here to talk abut the security man outside. HE DESERVES A RAISE. He holds this place DOWN even with somebodies mom to even gammy acting out of pocket. You’re safe if he’s outside!“

“A Good Place To Dance For A While And Chat Friendlyly In A Good Atmosphere Due To The Covid Pandemic, 19 Has Been Closed At Least Since Friday They Already Done It! Open.? Some of you or the bar can see what has already been written and send me a text.“

“Jessica made THE BEST Bloody Mary. We were in a rush but just wanted a quick drink. She got us in and out and I swear, that drink was life changing. It was a sign that my trip was gonna be fun and it was. Jessica was super friendly and knew how to manage everyone at the bar.“

“Best place ever to get food“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“We came to Paragon Bar and Grill for brunch right after my daughter’s graduation from CSUN. I found the place through a quick internet search and didn’t really know what to expect, but I was able to make a reservation online for a party of 13 with no issue. Our reservation was right when they opened at 11am on a Sunday, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves—just a couple of people at the bar. The space definitely leans more bar than grill, but it worked well for our group. Very low-key and relaxed. The menu had plenty of options, which was great since we had a few picky eaters. Everyone found something they liked, and the food was excellent across the board. The service stood out—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We didn’t order many drinks, but even so, I was surprised at how reasonable the bill was for such a large group. Only downside: the bathroom could use a refresh. It’s what you’d expect in a neighborhood bar—functional but not the highlight of the visit. Would absolutely go back. Great experience overall, and I really appreciate the staff for helping make the day special.“

“🤘 great place to see live bands“

“Had the calamari, beef ravioli and bread pudding, it was very good.“

“There’s a reason this restaurant has lasted over 130 years. Restaurants come and go in Los Angeles county but this one keeps serving up tasty food. The food is well cooked and not plastic (like that chain near the freeway) or gray and greasy (like that place downtown LA that just closed for good). I get their breakfasts and everything is just right. Portions, flavor, texture and presentation, all the boxes are ticked. If you’re up here to visit the amusement park on the other side of the freeway, stop here for your meal. The prices are family friendly.“

“Amazing food! Made to order, clean and beautiful dining area, excellent customer service. Tacos Al pastor, tacos de chicharrón, gorditas Xochipilli, chilaquiles, a few of my favorites. The best spot in the valley for authentic Mexican food.“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“Very good food friendly restaurant“

“The service was exceptional, and the food was fresh, perfectly prepared, beautifully plated, and delicious. The prices were surprisingly good, and I highly recommend this establishment.“

“The BEST steakhouse I have ever been to. And the best Restaraunt in Santa Clarita. Very intimate and old school and just the right amount of flare and nostalgia. The cooks take their time and are elegant and hard working. Staff is always nice and the food is always hot and cooked well. Anything you order here will be a 10/10 and their steak will beat out anything in Los Angeles or beyond in my opinion! The potatoes are famous here and the clam chowder is to die for. Get the extra black ground pepper! Garlic bread is also a staple. Really can’t go wrong anything you order though. You will never be disappointed here!!“

“VIM'S is THE BEST Thai food that I've had in Los Angeles. I've been going to their various locations since 1987! I've even celebrated my birthday parties there. The food is cooked to order (spicy to mild) and served family style. I have taken hundreds of friends and co-workers to Vim's for lunch or dinner and it's always a hit! It's still cash only after all these years. The taste and quality of the food has remained consistent over the decades.“

“One of my favorite place to eat however the service is not what it used to be, on this visit I was with some guests and even they brought up the service, so I hope they polish up the place a little and bring it back to what it was......the food was not bad however they took off some side items that usually come with the meal....(I guess it's the sign of the times we are in)“

“My husband and I moved into the area not to long ago and we were looking for a fun bar to be able to go too and we definitely found it the people that work there are great been there only a hand full of times always look forward to go back.“

“Our favorite place to go, great food, drinks and excellent service.“

“Sugar Suite is my favorite bar in the valley! I usually come on Monday and Friday after work to see the blonde bartender! She makes the best Michelada and is the sweetest! The atmosphere is always great. Don’t forget to stay for Karla after her on Mondays!“

“Or server was absolutely great! She was friendly and informative, never felt rushed. Food was fast and Our food was amazing. Best we have ate in our 3 days here. They had pub style games for a great family night. I’m a food snob, going in I was not expecting much but wow. Nicely done Dog Haus“

“I am a lifelong customer of Tellys. What keeps bringing me back is a wide variety of food that is always fresh and delicious. Their desserts are out of this world!!!! My favorite is the Cheesecake. Stop by and see for yourself, you won’t regret it 👍🏻😎“
