“Visiting LA from the UK loved this place“

“Small bars usually offer a casual yet friendly and relaxing atmosphere.
• Staff Attitude: Most small bar staff are warm and welcoming. Unlike fine dining restaurants, they tend to be more engaging, often chatting with guests, recommending drinks, and even remembering regular customers’ preferences.
• Serving Speed: Since the main focus of a bar is alcoholic beverages, the food may take longer to be served compared to a regular restaurant. However, most bars offer quick-prep bar snacks to complement the drinks.
• Personalized Service: Some small bars provide customized cocktails based on customers’ tastes or offer hidden menu options to enhance the experience.“

“Absolutely brilliant place. Fantastic staff (Katy) who is lovely. Brilliant atmosphere and well worth visiting for a drink when in Venice“

“If you want to experience a place where the locals actually spend their time, this is it. We were pointed here by someone from the area who told us to skip the crowded tourist spots and check out this neighborhood favorite instead. It ended up being one of the most enjoyable stops of our trip.

The atmosphere is casual, relaxed, and full of character. It has that classic dive bar feel where people come to unwind, catch up with friends, watch a game, or shoot a few rounds of pool. Nothing feels forced or trendy, which is exactly what makes it so appealing.

We kept things simple with a burger, some snacks, and a few drinks. The food was better than expected, and there was a solid selection of beers both on tap and in bottles. Prices were reasonable, portions were satisfying, and service was friendly throughout our visit.

What really stood out was the sense of community. Everyone seemed to know each other, and even as visitors we felt welcomed. By the end of the evening, several regulars were chatting with us and wishing us a good night. It's the kind of authentic local spot that's becoming harder to find and absolutely worth checking out.“

“Great place for cocktails in El Segundo. A lot of classic tiki drinks plus some twist. The purple passion and Vic's grog was my favorite. The atmosphere is a tiki bar with island vibes and music. The staff was super nice and very informative of recommendation of the drinks. There's also two billiard tables for entertainment besides the sports TVs.“

“Great Atmosphere. Great hang out, nice local spot....“

“Great local San Pedro bar“

“The atmosphere is popping here! Excellent DJ, very welcoming people, and good vibes. The only downside is that it is a very small place for the number of people that arrive; no dance floor, only one pool table, and hard to order a drink because of the very crowded bar. However, it is a very good spot for the Black community and for anyone, of course. Everyone was so happy to be here. This was my first time visiting, and I am confident I have found a new local to hang out at.“

“I performed a Blues concert there this week in their large music hall & library with bar which adjoins a very busy bar room playing old school
recorded R&B. It's a lively and fun place to hang. There's cocktails, beer, music and pool tables. A diverse friendly crowd. They let you Postmate or bring food. There's even an outdoor patio.“
