“Our first time trying this spot. Once I heard there was a lobster specific spot in the South Bay, I had to give it a go. Fun little spot with a bar top as well as booths and tables. We had the lobster rolls Connecticut style, waffle fries, and flaming hot lobster fries. Definitely worth a try. We knew going into it that it would be a pretty penny but wanted to get the full experience on the first go. Also, friendly service definitely stood out. Much appreciated. If you're in the mood for lobster check this spot out.“
“A true dive bar with a lot of personality. Staff is very friendly as are the customers. They have karaoke, 2 pool tables, darts, sports TV, good parking & very reasonable drinks. The KJ, and bartenders are really fun. I call it a melting pot of humanity...people from all different walks of life that are very friendly with each other. It's a comfortable, fun, relaxed atmosphere.“
“We go there every other month for Sunday night dinner and blues music. The Porterhouse Blues band is excellent! They have 6 TV's and a good tasting variety of foods. Their Hamburgers are delicious!Parking: Downtown Inglewood can be busy. We get there around 7 p.m. and usually find parking within 200 feet of the entrance.Wheelchair accessibility: No problem per State Law.“
“Strong drinks, fast service and hot fries. What's to complain about? It's within walking distance from the beach, it's a total classic dive bar - old posters, jukebox songs and plenty of TVs playing sports. It's a bigger place than it looks like from the outside with back patio seating. Parking isn't easy but it's to be expected for the area.“
“I was in town for just 24 hours and heard good things about The Elbow Room, so I decided to give it a try and I was BLOWN away! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by several people and got a table in the back of the bar. The menu was incredible, so I had a hard time trying to figure out what to order so I ordered a little bit of everything. The smoked wings were amazing, as was the pizza, shrimp and filet bites. The owner Lee is a great guy and would love to have you at his bar - you won’t be disappointed, I promise!“
“Went here yesterday for the Oscar’s party and it was such a hoot! I LOVED the puppies they had in front and that they care for rescue dogs, the food was incredible, the Bingo was fun and watching the Oscars on the big screens felt awesome as well! Definitely recommend coming here for events (eg I look forward to watching the World Cup here eventually) but would also come again for their nachos alone lol! Also the heaters were great once the sun went down!“
“Great bar, showed all the NBA games plus the tennis. Food was amazing, loads of vegan options and the portions were huge. Definitely recommend the cali wings and vegan fried chicken burger, tasted fresh and delicious.Dietary restrictions: Great vegan options“
“My new favorite bar. The service was great, Spencer helped us feel taken care of and made sure we had everything necessary to have a good night. Food is exquisite with many options for those with allergies. Prices make sense for being right on the pier. We will be back for more. Thank you Malloys staff!“
“Tacos and margs are pretty stellar at this place. Came on Taco Tuesday, which is $1 off all tacos and $9 margs. Place wasn't busy when we got there at 12 and we were able to get our food and drinks very quickly. FYI it's more of a trendy sports bar than a restaurant, so don't be thrown off when you walk in, but deff a good place for casual lunch or happy hour.For drinks, husband and I both got the classic marg, which had a decent amount of tequila. Enough to made you happy but didn't make your eyes burn when you drank it (make sense?)We ordered 4 tacos in total (short rib, chicken, shrimp and carnitas). Short rib was my favorite by far. Super flavorful with picked onions and a spicy salsa verde sauce. Husband also really liked the chicken, which was also a little spicy (not as much as the short rib) and I also got the shrimp, which was bomb. The pineapple salsa on top really made the shrimp shine. The carnitas was ... fine. Not bad but nothing to write home about. Also ordered the carnitas nachos. Prob would have ordered this with short rib had I known how good that was. They come pretty stacked with pork, shredded cheese, homemade cheese sauce, tomatoes and onions, but personally felt like they needed some acid. Pro tip, ask for the spicy salsa verde on the side. It deff satisfied that "somethings missing" feeling. Once got that we really enjoyed the nachos. Overall, we really liked this place. Food and drinks were really good and it's off the beaten path enough that you can sit and enjoy your food in a laid back place without crazy LA prices.“
“Wow what an amazing brunch experience today! 1) Atmosphere: Nice and chill vibes for a Sunday brunch. 2) Service: Amazing. Our waiter, Steven, took such good care of us! He was super friendly, made great recommendations, and did not let the mimosas run low. (if you show up for Sunday brunch, ask for Steven!) 3) Food: Bottomless mimosas for $24 is a great deal, especially on this side of town. Speciality drinks were good too. I enjoyed my chicken and waffles. They weren't stingy on the chicken like almost ALL the restaurants in LA and the waffle was a nice side and delicious. It was plenty of food for me...we all got to go boxes. I'll definitely be retuning here with a larger group of friends. Highly recommend!“
“Love Tom Bergins! I have lived in the hood for 20 years and drove by this place many times. but finally wandered in w my boo and have been a regular ever since! I always get the Pilsner , which tastes delish! Their food is awesome too! The shepherds pie, pretzel bites and patty melts are my favorites. They also have specials, last time I got the Filet O Fish sandwich, so good! The atmosphere is very chill, nice neighborhood bar / Irish pub with a very long history. The bartenders are always nice, you have to try this spot. They are only really opened on the weekends so plan accordingly!“
“A truly hidden gem. Went with some friends while waiting for a dinner reservation, and were thrilled with our experience. The atmosphere is lovely, they have board games for patrons, and they had free snacks. Would make it my regular spot if I lived closer.“

“Awesome place to grab a beer or cocktail and some food. So good I came 2 days in a row. Wings are awesome, I like the very well done and the came to my liking. Smash burgers are delicious. The bartenders are attentive and cool. Great LA dive(ish) bar. My new go-to.“
“I came to this bar with some friends tonight and had an amazing time. The drinks are fairly priced and the bartenders were super cool. Angel and the taller girl (cant remember her name) were so nice. Angel made me one of the best old fashions ive ever had. I will definitely be back for happy hour..make sure you get Angel she’s thee sweetest most attentive bartender I’ve ever met! Definitely coming back to see her! Amazing service ????“
“Love this place. Great food, great environment.Just watch out at the door and make sure security checks your ID, if not they will resort to being rude and insulting you when you walk in and they were not at the door and tell me that it is his job to check id’s.I will walk away always when someone turns things around to be rude.“
“Love this bar.. It's easy, great selection of liquors and beers on tap, but the best part is the staff.. You get to know them and they get to know you. They're all great!! Chill vibes too, they usually have a good DJ on the weekends too!“
“Always chill, even on occasion people are friendly and talkative. Can play pool or darts or other games. I like the decore, pennies under resin on the oak bar, bathrooms are nice since the refurbishing. Prime Pizza walking distance (a lil far but not bad). Park across the street. Coffee place I haven’t been to a few doors down that closes shortly after this place opens. Lazy Daisy breakfast location right next door. Street parking at meters, or park down in the neighborhood south on the cross streets, not far at all. Sometimes I park and jog at the park then stop here. Also I like the jukebox app they got going. There’s also back alley parking and entrance. They just started offering pretzel, dog, snacks, I used to have to go to grey block pizza, now prime pizza. There are other Mexican, fast food, and 7/11 joints nearer. There’s a Whole Foods less than a block away too.“
“Work right across from here so this place is one of my go-tos for lunch. Never actually sat down and ate inside even though the energy is always feels good. I've gotten just fries from this place about 4-5 times. There's a reason i've gotten it 4-5 times. They're crispy, always fresh and well seasoned. They also give you three sauces: spicy mayo, garlic aioli, and honey mustard. All are amazing and my favorite is mixing all the sauces and putting them on top of the fries. I've also orders the mozzarella sticks and the classic burger, no cheese, lettuce tomato and pickles. The mozzarella sticks are big and the cheese stretch is perfect. For the burger I didn't care much for the bun but the taste of the burger was amazing. I always come back and will always come back.“
“It's one of my favorite stops while visiting friends.Excellent cocktails and fun friendly service.I love that they were playing music via videos on big screens.Riley took care of us, and she was awesome.This will definitely be on my list next time I'm in town.“
“Went for lunch and sat outside. The outdoor tables were super comfortable and it’s a lovely area to sit. We got the lunch sandwiches with mac salad and the portion was huge!!! Sandwiches were great and for such a good price. Definitely could share one with two people. Only issue was it was a little confusing between ordering online and with the bartender, but service was good!“
“Food is great and the restaurant is run by the owners - always a good sign. Bar area is cool, they have jukebox that you can control from an app on your phone and plenty of TV's to catch a game. Excellent shredded beef in their quesadillas and enchiladas - the flavor is just fantastic! They have unbelievable lunch specials and is one of the last places in LA where you won't have to transfer money from your 401k to pay for a meal. The place is pretty big and has room for a nice birthday party. Oh... and the service is very fast. Ain't nobody lazy employed here!“
“I'm an Irish guy from Glendale and a US veteran to boot, been to a lot of restaurants and bars... this pub is wonderful. Love the food, atmosphere, and people that work there are great peps. The owner is a super friendly guy "Willy" and was always walking around talking to people, like a good business owner will do. No wonder this bar has been and is a staple for Santa Monica. Parking is okay, but it's Santa Monica! Lol Anyways, love this bar! Next time I'll take a picture of the Irish breakfast that I ordered on Saturday 03/16/24. It was GREAT!“
“Went here after work around lunch time - I was the ONLY one here! Nikolani was the bartender at the time, she was super amazing and welcoming. The next time I am in SM I will for sure be back ❤️❤️FYI Come for lunch - u get to play pool for free!“

“Ok so I recently decided to eat here I think before this visit I'd played around in here a few timesanyway overall I like Dave and busters. This one though the people here are kinda rude when I other locations it's always very welcoming. This one short answers and so/so service. I live in the San Gabriel valley so not far from Arcadia and Ontario witch like going to and I work near the one at the block at orange that one is always pleasant nice people at that Dave and busters anyway back to this visit. It took about 20 minutes after sitting down to get noticed to order food staff just kept waking by me no help ??food was ok boneless wings and a burger ? I'll add this location doesn't do eat and play specials witch make other locations nice to visit anyway I purchased the spring break pass 80 bucks on top of my meal check ouch ? anyway I'm a little ticked because im an adult with no kids but overall i like the D&b experience of coming in and playing to rack up points and tickets the fine print of the spring break promo you buy an 80 dollar card and play for nothing if i was a parent id be livid i mean talk about being robed of the overall experience and nobody bothered to tell me this I really feel a little violated that it wasn't mentioned ?? this location needs an attitude adjustment with staff rude rude rude“
“Outdoor seating is great. Lots of beautiful West LA / South Bay types wandering by. Food is OK and service on the day wasn’t great but I’ll give them a pass cause they weren’t expecting another spectacular SoCal day in early February.“
“I love the shack. Been coming here since I was like 17. Shoutout to the fake id that said I was 6'4 when I was maybe 5'10. The Shack Burger is a staple to absorb some of the drunken mistakes you might have made at the other bars prior to. I always allude to the shack as a beach bar with food reminiscent of a backyard barbecue with your relatives. It's not a destination that you necessarily seek out, but an oasis that you stumble into thinking you're just going to have one, but end up having several. Even now as I approach 28, I still love the shack.“
“I've been comin here for quite a few years and never had anythin that I didn't like...generous portions on the food...you've got to stop in and try it yourself...pool tables(2) Golf Machine game, dart board, and video machine with a variety of games on one machine, a jukebox to pick gr8 songs and a patio outside to smoke your cigarettes...what more can you ask for...And it's a Full Bar with lots of friendly ppl and 6 r 7 TVs as well...A Great Place To Watch Your Sports any day of the week you'll wish you knew of this place sooner...GG-Gail?“
“I want to give a full overview of the Nile Bar. I’ve been on multiple occasions- weekends and weeknights alike so I feel I have a good gage.Theres a lot of great things such as the huge TV’s, huge bar seating, live DJ/Bands and themed nights. It’s definitely more of a local bar feel because it’s a very clicky place. Meaning people just talk amongst the group of friends they came with- it’s not very social if you come alone and want to meet new people.Overall, service is not bad but it’s not good. You will wait much longer than expected. This is if the bar is full or just 1 to 5 people inside. Experienced both.Drinks are good and strong- price varies as they do have happy hour, but I usually pay closer to 17 bucks for one drink after happy hour.Had the sliders which were excellent but the wings were cooked very hard and they were not good.Now this part can be superficial, but this is for the fellas. The woman are on the larger/older side. This place doesn’t attract younger, smaller sized women. I’m not saying the women aren’t pretty, but if you also want someone in shape I would say this is not the place.And for the women… there’s a selection of men who come in solo to “watch the game” but besides small talk and a drink being bought for a very select few- I don’t really see you meeting anyone here. Just not set up for that vibe in my opinion. Stick to your gworls.But with all that being said, something about the Nile Bar really works. You just want to always come back because it does feel great. Idk what it is, but it’s a special feeling this place has that just pulls you back in for another game, another bite, or another drink.I give this place 4 stars overall!“
“They have excellent Philly Cheese Steaks! Homemade chips are bomb, as well as their tots. I got a chicken taco salad bowl last time for dinner, it really hit the spot. They serve beer and wine (no liquor), but as far as bars go, the food is great. Definitely reccomend.“
“Visiting from Maryland with my mom and brother! We wanted to hear some live jazz and stumbled upon a gem. The live jazz was absolutely amazing and service was awesome. We felt so welcome when we entered. I will be returning the next time I visit!“
“Great little sports bar on sunset blvd with great cocktails and a solid draft beer list. Make sure to book a reservation on weekends because this place gets busy! They have several TVs throughout the bar so every seat in the house is good. Best of all they have plenty of vegan options which is rare for a sports bar! The vegan tacos are amazing. It's also dog friendly. I'm a big fan.“
“If you come here for anything aside from the breakfast special, you're probably 21, killing time before your drive home from work, or trying to recapture your youth. Sharkeez has great service, great deals and good food. They have ridiculous happy hour specials. If you come at night it's a whole other story, but that's on the clientele and not the staff. The rise and shine special is a blessing.“

“The restaurant was nice and the food was good, but what was really upsetting was the service. I had three children with me tonight and it felt as if the waitress could have been asking us a bit more if I needed anything. Plus, none of the hamburgers apparently come with cheese. It’s extra but you won’t know that til the end of the bill. Why are businesses not giving a veterans discount? Do these businesses not like the freedom that we as military members have done for you? I guess it gets in the way of the $15 hamburger with no cheese.“
“I would definitely recommend this place. It is definitely a hidden gem. The customer service was one of the best I have seen from a bar. The prices are amazing compared to other places I go. Food was pretty good and well seasoned. I would definitely come back here again.“
“I took a late picture of my food... The filet mignon is a hidden gem at the standard!! It's been on the menu for a bit. It just never wanted to try...I'm into the bar food and just didn't feel like a filet mignon at a bar.... ORDER IT!!' The sauce it's served with is excellent,. And the veg and mash...just fits right...and you can't beat the price!!... 100% recommend!! I have a bit of an after pic but won't make justice... the service is awesome and just another steak find!..“
“Twas a nice an spacious setting for a good bash if old, the brews floweth the liquor poureth, many a maiden danced, games of skill an chance were played on green tables with balls an pockets. One may even throw tiny arrows at the wall if they please. Thyn must say... "Twas a night to remember" ( insert bilbo baggins quote) but for real I really like this place, bartenders are friendly an run a tight ship, they have pool tables darts and shuffle board. PS the pool scene can be competitive but that's why I go there, if you like pool, you'll find good competition there on Fridays“
“I've been going here since college. It hasn't changed much. The food is decent, not the best but far from bad. It's a good sports bar. They have their locals who fill a lot of seats but they're friendly. The beer and drinks are good.“
“Came here to celebrate a few birthdays with family. I do not play golf, however, I had so much fun. We ordered a few snacks and even had a birthday surprise.Golf clubs are provided, you can also bring your own. My nephew helped me out with a few tips and I did hit a few better than I thought I would.A great time was had by all! Service was great, friendly and personable.“
“Gulp is a nice lunch getaway in Playa Vista with both inside and outside seating. The staff is very attentive and brought water without even asking. I order the nachos and they were FULL! No shortage of ingredients or chicken on the nachos. The chips were crispy and easy to scoop a good amount of toppings without breaking. Unfortunately I didn't grab any photos because I ordered togo, however this restaurant is a gem.“
“The patio is large and has a great view of the marina. The food is on the whole very tasty, but overpriced. Favorites were the clam chowder and beet salad. Most disappointing was the blackened mahi-mahi, they only blackened one side so was not very tasty“
“I'm seeing quite a few reviews here about people going out of their way to visit this place. If you're reading this before you visit, that's not really what it's for. This is the in-house cafeteria/bar at an ice skating facility. It's not a standalone pub or restaurant. So, if you're dropping by for a free skate session, or if you have a kid enrolled in one of the hockey or skating classes, it's perfectly convenient to grab a bite afterwards without having to go somewhere else. Otherwise, skip.With that being said, the food here is actually quite good, but it's a bit more expensive than you'd expect - again, it's the in-house cafeteria/bar at an ice skating facility, and it ought to be priced that way.“
“This place is an absolute hidden gem. The service and vibe is great. What more can you ask for amazing TV’s service and drinks. The food is quality better than any bar around. It’s more of a complete restaurant and bar! High quality drinks and food. Music is on point. This place should be packed every night and it’s not. I’m giving away the sauce. Araik always takes care of us and knows what I’m drinking and remembers what I like. He goes out of his way to ask how I am. His service is on point and he knows how to make a great old fashioned!Come to this place you will not be disappointed.“
“Awesome bar with super friendly staff and guests and delicious food! They also have darts, a jukebox and a pool table with plenty of room around it. Huge outdoor smoking area too for smokers/vapers. A real local treasure!! Did I mention drinks are very affordable land food is too!“
“Visited with my wife and my son on a weekday, the place was busy, surprisingly the service was impeccable and the Food was delicious! The restaurant manager "Frankie" came to our table to chat with us, we felt very welcome and will come back again for drinks and some nice burgers! We Highly recommend“
“My first introduction to Bac Street was walking from my house to Thirsty Club and I was a regular until my last interaction... anyway, Bac Street is closer to me than Thirsty or Paddy's but it closed down for a long while due to pandemic. They're open now and just as neighborhood friendly as before. The only reason I'm giving 4 in lieu of 5 stars is because they don't have any snacks. No pretzels, chips or nuts. So come FULL.“
“Super easy. Super casual. Not a fancy wine bar at all. But, they offer many different beers, wine and and a casual bar. My only complaint is that the SPARKLING ROSE COMES IN A CAN. the menu needs to say "in a can". I wouldn't have have ordered it had I known. Anyway, get pizza or falafel or a whatever food you want and sit at the casual bar and enjoy! Fun“
“This is a hybrid dive bar that has some amazing staff and jukebox play. It’s hybrid because it has a pizza shop next door that has really amazing pizza. They don’t have food but easily accessible. The Guinness is outstanding; clean lines and ice cold. They have jukebox you can DJ and Liz and Kanna were really gracious hosts for us. We stayed at the Best Western nearby and used this as our staging point before our cruise. It’s a really cool local with very nice people.“
“My to go pub at hermosa for sports games. Great food and the crowd is always fun. The service is okay, considering that this place get really packed with few servers . Overall it is a nice spot to crab a drink, kickball, relax and watch your favorite team kick some A**!“
“AMAZING!!! The service was top tier! The entire staff from the host, to the busser, and the servers were all SO NICE! I think this has been the best service I've ever received, hands down. The menu was simple, and the food was delicious! The portions were humongous! Its mostly outside seating with an inside bar. Its sort of next to the beach which really adds to the ambiance. My family and I were more than satisfied! This place really rocks!“
