There aren't too many kava bars in LA and it's nice to see this new gem in the neighborhood. A nice place to chill, and relax at the end of the day with a good kava drink. Bula Vinaka 🤙“

“The Cinema Bar is everything you want in a local spot — laid-back vibes, strong drinks, live music that actually slaps, and a crowd that feels like instant friends. It’s got that old-school charm you can’t fake. Whether you’re catching a band, hanging on the patio, or just sipping a whiskey solo, this place always hits the right note. No pretension, just good times. West LA gem for sure.“

“Please give George - who I renamed GMoney - a raise! In all seriousness, he made me (a California newbie) feel so welcome and happy while I was out here visiting my daughter... beyond words. He was amazing and nothing like the East Coast bartenders I’ve been used to! A wonderful night was had because of him!“

“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!!!“

“very chill place and lots of fun“

“One of a kind whiskey-craft beer neighborhood tavern/pub. Absolute Santa Monica / westside institution.“

“We decided to head out for a NYE dinner but didn't want to pay an exorbitant amount. Duke's fit the bill. Had Coconut Shrimp and Crab Wonton apps. Very good. Dinner was well received with Steamed Fish and Shrimp in Banana leaf, filet mignon, chicken and rib plate and fish of the day. Everyone said their meal was the best. Drinks and desert topped it off beautifully. We will return again. Definitely get a table at the windows.“

“Cool, classy vibe with very expensive menu! (Keep in mind, no food)“

“Fun ambiance, good drink selection and it's easy to meet nice people as they host lots of events here.“

“Loved the cozy environment especially in the patio area . Food was great! The potato cakes with apples was amazing . Our group of 9 loved all of the food ! Would recommend to others“

“This was my first time here. The valet price wasn’t insanely expensive. Upon walking in, I literally felt like I was in an LA (proper) hotspot. It was busy, thus a bit loud; but it went with the vibe of the restaurant. (Good thing, not a negative one.) It looks like a great place for first dates, date night, girls night out… Maaaybe not for for families with little kids. I work with children and I adore them, however I suggest getting a sitter for the night so everyone can enjoy the ambience. The service was amazing, Mary was very knowledgeable about the menu and helpful with suggestions. Everyone at the table loved their dishes, there were zero complaints. Our friend’s daughter works there and was able to pop out to say hello and goodbye. I cannot wait to go back and try everything else on the menu.“

“I love this place! They are new and hit just the bar spot this area has been needing.“

“Wonderful wine bar with a top notch Somm. Will definitely be back“

“The entire experience was wonderful the food , drinks and service will definitely have me returning. Even the Owner was so friendly personable, came out spoke with us about different options on the menu, sang happy Birthday to my sister and even a picture with our was absolutely a worthwhile outing.“

“I'm so excited you all are reopening This Wednesday! I have so many fun and fond memories of great afternoons into nights at the Barrel. Karaoke with the locals is always fun. congratulations see you all soon“

“This place came highly recommended from my lady friends who do luncheons regularly. I was blown away by the rock shrimp sandwich, had to control myself not ordering it again for round 2! I hope it stays on regular menu not just DineLA. There are 7 others things on the menu I want to try, well balanced flavors that hits the spot. Lovely atmosphere will definitely come back again and again.“

“Romantic atmosphere playing throwback 90’s-2000 hip hop/R&B with a dark, laid back and speakeasy feel. Santa Monica gem!“

“Ive been hanging out here for over 25 years.. Great place, Great bartenders and Atmosphere.“

“This was such a fun experience. Eating, drinking, and talking with strangers. The host was very informative and had great stories to share. The place has a mix of the prohibition era. You sense if the different rooms could talk, they would.

If you're all about trying new flavors and like to be surprised, then this is an adventure ride you will want to take. Beverages and snacks. Yes please!“

“Fantastic food. And cocktails. And bartenders!“

“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!“

“Good food and well decorated space. Not much interaction with service at all. Everything is digital.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are not clearly labeled. It’s difficult to understand what places serve vegetarian menu items or offer alternatives.“

“The best aperitive in LA, with Salvo at 12-12 a wonderful location. Thanks a lot“

“*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!“

“Best nik naks & steak strips ever!“

“The food is very good. 5 stars. The waiter's service is very bad. I hope when I go back. I won't let him serve me definitively“

“the only way i could ever be able is to get my own car to work for a month or so before the pandemic hit so that my parents can have the money for the trip to my house or something and then go back home to do my car and go back home to my mom would have a job to myself to get a job to pay my rent to my parents and i could have my car and i could afford to live there and have a job and i could be a millionaire for a year and i could get my own house but my mom and my parents are so much less money for the trip and my parents have no idea what it would be like to be in the future that would make my parents are my mom is so sad and my dad and i would never get to know my dad and dad is a very happy“

“Great place to have a good time. I gotta come back for more drinks tho!“

“Usually hotel food is alright, so we decided to play it safe and get a burger and it was actually really good. The patty was juicy, and everything was very flavorful. The fries were also really good, crispy, and well seasoned. Not sure about the rest of the menu, but I would definitely get the burger and fries here again.“

“We were in LA to attend a birthday party at the Peninsula Hotel and my economically shrewd wife found Maison 140 as a cool and inexpensive nearby hotel - which we were very happy with. However drinks in the downstairs Bar Noir was an incredible added bonus. Randy the Barman engaged us immediately and within 3 minutes we had our generously poured drinks and were chatting to other guests. It felt like we were regulars at “Cheers” (the old TV series Bar, where everyone knows your name). It was one of the best bar experiences we’ve had in years. Absolutely loved it. Thanks Randy ! Cheers Rodney & Chad.“

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

“They have a full vegan menu and can even customize some vegetarian meals to be made vegan. All very delicious - highly recommend their green power pizza, rigatoni with eggplant, eggplant pizza, and pesto vegan caprese! The artichoke wasn’t that good but have loved everything else I’ve gotten there.“

“Fresh seafood wish margaritas were better“
