“I worked with Shane to purchase a new Jersey Jack machine and it was a great overall experience! Guy took his time to answer all my questions, was fair on pricing/shipping, and quickly responded with text updates as the game got ready for shipment. I highly recommend working with him for any of your new or used machine needs!“

“Four of us came or a special treat. The cocktails were delicious. We got another round. We were having the best time,

I only have one complaint, although it is a significant one. I have never been in a restaurant where the food was removed from the table, even though I was not finished.

I understand it was a Friday night and they were very busy, but It was pretty amazing when I was there only person eating when all the other plates have been cleared In an effort to get us out of the booth!“

“El Carmen is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Los Angeles. They offer a happy hour menu Monday to Friday from 5–7pm with incredible prices ($8 margaritas, $3 tacos) that make it easy to stop by after work without breaking the bank. The drinks are delicious, and I had some of the best shrimp tacos I’ve ever tasted here—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The chips, salsa, and guacamole are also a must-order, with everything tasting homemade and vibrant. It’s a cozy spot with great energy, and I can’t wait to go back.“

“Tony’s Darts Away – Review:

Tony’s Darts Away is a lively, casual spot known for its fun, relaxed atmosphere and pub-style menu. It specializes in comfort food like burgers, wings, and sandwiches, often paired with craft beers and cocktails. Guests appreciate the friendly, welcoming vibe, making it a great place to hang out with friends, watch sports, or enjoy a night out. The portions are generous, and the flavors are solid, though it’s more about hearty, satisfying meals than fine dining. Overall, Tony’s Darts Away is a go-to for casual, fun dining with good drinks and a social environment.“

“The food is great and can’t forget the greatest service ever!!“

“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! (Tell Jen we're sorry we kept you away from your work that night ?) - THE IOWA FAMILY ?“

“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.“

“Been here twice with my daughter - Got my husband the chai tea latte and I got the day dream, both delish. Great service everyone’s been super friendly. I even left my phone the second time and the girl came outside to give it back to me before I walked too far. Will be back!“

“A hidden gem, literally almost walked right by it while looking for it. We got there when they opened at 8pm on a Saturday and it didn’t get busy until about 10pm. This place has a cozy cool intimate vibe. Great place to grab a drink and chat, it was easy to have a conversation even with the DJ spinning. The bartender was great, but he was the only one serving drinks so it took time to order or close out once it got busy. Drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping in when you’re in the area.“

“Great with DJ music at Patio“

“The Bel is now my go to spot for celebrations. Jeremy & Maria are incredibly hospitable and took great care of me and my friends for a birthday! They squeezed us in super last minute at a table and we had an amazing time! Can’t wait to go back and try more of the food, kitchen, bar & vibes we’re 10/10“

“We were passing by on a Tuesday night and decided to go in.We had a Guinness served properly, without rushing, with time for the beer to rest and then serve.It was pretty empty, but the place must be really cool during the weekend, with more people.“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“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.

“A go to gay bar in Weho. This place is so welcoming and the staff are all great. Lots of tvs with m various sports playing. On the most recent trip they had a live DJ who played great music at the perfect volume for the entire time we were there. Love their trivia night, and especially enjoy coming to their happy hour for a snack and some great bar bites!“
