17 Best Dive Bars near Tarzana

“you can actually hear some really good acts at this place, famous blues artists especially. they have open mic nights but you're very encouraging. I like the way it's decorated in there; of course it's not as good as Ireland's 32 but it's slightly better than universal bar and grill. mind you they are all very close in the running. the point is I recommend going, and I really hope they don't dismantle all the strip malls because a place like this can't exist with apartments over it I don't think“

“Fabulous staff here with very affordable prices on food AND drinks! The new happy hour now starts at 2pm EVERY DAY till 8pm!!!! Love the upgrade draft beer options to a boom sh size for only $3 more!!!! Great new local neighborhood bar. Fantastic games room with something for everyone.“

“Cassidy and Rafa have revolutionized this kitchen! The food is amazing! We live in the hood and always stop by here "for one" on the way home. We now go out of our way to stop and eat here too. Family vibes. Neighborhood Peeps. Friendly bartenders Alan, Mo, Crystal, Lindsay, Rocky!! The BEST neighborhood bar. Highly recommend!“

“It is what it is. And this place IS !! I ain't been to a bar Ina long time...my best decision involving alcohol that I've made Ina while. Michelle tended bar..well. In addition she happened to be beautiful. This is your late 70's..80's type "dive bar". Music was loud and good. Prices were great. This place found me. Moved into new place last month and this wonderful throwback bar is 1 block away!! Can't wait to return.???3 thumbs up.“

“Perfect spot for great bar food, chill vibes and friendly bartenders. Half or full pitchers of cold beer and a full bar with tons of TVs to watch Dodger games. In the summer, they keep the AC cranking. Good lunch specials and Taco Tuesdays deals (3 street tacos for $3).“

“Dope little dive bar nestled in amongst a bunch ofcar repair shops and a gas station. Low-key vibe, super casual, pool tables, darts, video golf, long hallway-style room with a wind flow that keeps it surprisingly cool.They don't have food, but allow you to order delivery and eat it at the bar. Inexpensive drinks, decent whiskey and bourbon brands, lots of beer choices (no drafts, only bottles). And a jukebox.Bartenders are all cool af, decent hard-working folk who have to put up with some serious LA attitudes and they manage the crowd like professionals. And OMG, it doesn't smell like a dive bar! Clean af, and the bathrooms even (for a dude bathroom to be reasonably clean at a dive bar is like winning the lottery.)Relax, have a good time, play some pool, and chill. Can't go wrong here.“

“Very surprised at the classy environment despite the fact its such a small establishment, but that made absolutely no difference in the quality of the atmosphere, customer service and the friendliness of the working young ladies. Their demeanor was so amazing, not rude stuck up or in anyway unwelcoming. They were actually extremely classy, and that made the whole place classy.. And not the least bit distasteful which was a pleasant surprise based on bad past experiences at less desirable establishments. So thank you ladies for such a great experience ❤️ I would recommend to all my friends hands down.Parking: Plenty of gated parking“

“Instant replay is a chill bar if you want to have a drink with some friends. The bartender was friendly and really cool. They had some cool music playing and also have a jukebox that you can request songs on. They have a good selection of beers on tap so I'm sure you'll be able to find something you'll like. Definitely the kind of place you can go to and just hang out especially for the price. Just don't forget to tip your bartenders.“

“This cozy neighborhood bar has left the best impressions! Hospitable bartender, they carry wine and beers, my favorite is the IPA beer!They have a pool table and dart boards.I recommend this Tavern to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.“

“I was only in town for a couple of days and decided to stop by on a whim. So glad I did! The servers were so kind and attentive. The atmosphere was chill and welcoming, and the drinks were so good! Richelle was bartending that night and made sure I was taken care of. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!“

“We had a blast! Sherman Oaks-EncinoChamber of Commerce hosted a networking mixer event here. The owner presented us with some history and lite bites. I will definitely return to support and have a great time.This was our second time going on Tuesday’s Open Mic Night! The artists are talented.We’ve been highly pleased with the staff service, atmosphere, and characters. We are delighted to add The Barrel to our normal routine.“

“It's a dive bar. Don't expect mint pinky up drinks. Expect to be treated as you treat others and yes the bartenders are dicks to people that don't know how to act or break the rules. Don't be an idiot or do.. whatever... have fun.“

“The starbar is right next door to the u haul location where I Frequently I've been going to in the last couple weeks. Because I'm moving out of my house. I've never been to this establishment, but I hear the owners are really good people and they have couple t. Vs, and I'm sure they have really good drinks. I don't drink myself but I'm sure others do and would find this place relaxing although it is on. Deventure itself and when you're next to a busy street. You do get a lot of bad air from cars and tires. But other than that it's a great place.“

“This place is a lot of fun. Especially on the weekends, you can expect to find some live music, pool, darts, and some amazing beers on tap. If you want to catch a good game during happy hour it's a great spot too. There is no food but you can grab a bite at the local Jerry Pizza next door if you feeling hungry and head back over for your favorite beer and fun!!“

“I'll keep it extremely brief because it's a local bar and there isn't much you need to know. First thing to be noted is Terry and Will the bartenders are valley legends, I'll take the Pepsi challenge that they have the best pours within a 15 mile radius. Now I'll warn you it's 1000% a local bar. Very no frills and the men's bathroom is reminiscent of a NYC subway in the 80's but it's all good because you can get a triple Tito's and red bull for $6. Come on down, have a drink and tip your bartender“

“I have been coming here for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a good time and I am astounded how many people I know I don’t come in here very often I come in anywhere from 6 to 10 times per year but it’s always a pleasure coming. I’ve run into friends that I haven’t seen in a while, great people from the west side. The only negative is they need to upgrade and remodel the men’s bathroom it’s overdue. Other than that it’s a really fun place to have fun with friends and meeting new people.“
