“THIS!!!! Is the place!!!! Bartenders are amazing here (shoutout Rocky and Lindsey!) Food is INCREDIBLE here. Idk where to begin??? Must gets: fries (fresh!!!!) onion rings (crispy and seem home made!!!) mozz sticks and sliders were fantastic as well. I’ll be back to try the most popular fish n chips.

“Do they have dj what kind of music they play“

“Cracking little bar… fantastic customer service and such a warm welcome.“

“Love this place !! I feel safe at the 90 specially as a woman ! The service is great, the bartenders are always attentive and the fact that they have a great pool table to top it off! Not to say they have snacks and the regulars there make you feel at home … definitely check this place out !“

“From 9-11:30 most Monday nights, come to this small bar to see the miracle of the Hot Club of Los Angeles, an amazing 5 piece embodiment of Django Reinhart's 1930s jazz spirit. Their second set may start around 10:45 if you'd like a bit more room. No snacks, no food, no nonsense...just as good a band as you'll ever see in a space this small. Tommy will take care of you behind the bar. Guinness can, served in a glass, $10 in June 2026. Enjoy!“

“It's in my home town . Rocky is the bomb !! and Mike Moore. just a great bar.“

“Since moving from the East Coast over five years ago, my partner, our friends, and I have been coming to the Drawing Room almost every week. This bar is truly such a delight to be at! I have been coming every other day now that we are in the NBA finals!

The bartenders are always on point with the drinks and do an incredible job of making not only us, but all of the patrons, feel welcome and comfortable. I have never had a bad experience with any of the bartenders at this place! We always seem to stop by when Ashley is working, and that's no coincidence. She greets us the moment we walk in, offers snacks during major sporting events, and creates such a fun atmosphere that we never want to leave.

Ashley remembers our drink orders every time, is incredibly charismatic, and has a way of making the entire bar excited to be there. You can tell how much people love her—customers walk in, immediately give her a hug, and are genuinely excited to see she's working. It's wonderful to see such a strong local community gather here.

We can't wait to spend the summer at the Drawing Room. Thank you for being one of the most amazing neighborhood bars in Los Angeles!“

“I came here on a whim after wanting to avoid the crowds at Zebulon. Honestly this bar is a hidden gem, and thank god it hasn’t been flipped upside down and turned into condos. The outside is a neon lit heaven from the 1960s. You enter and the staff are warm from the get go. There is a left and a right side to the bar: The right side is a sizable dance floor complete with a gigantic disco ball, Dj booth, a couple leather booths, and panther sculptures. They played disco and funk this very day and the crowd was diverse and cool. The left side is the bar where there a probably 5 or six extremely comfortable retro leather booths. They have a great tequila selection but you can also order a $4 Tecate. My kind of joint full of vibe that i can’t wait to try again!“

“I stopped by Fox Fire Room one Friday evening around 8:00 PM to meet a couple of friends after work. The atmosphere was relaxed with dim lighting, good music, and a classic neighborhood bar feel that made it easy to settle in and stay awhile. I ordered a smoked old fashioned, and it was made well with a smooth, balanced flavor that wasn't overly sweet. We also shared a few appetizers, including loaded fries and crispy chicken bites, and everything came out hot and fresh. The bartender was friendly, remembered our drink orders after the first round, and checked on us throughout the evening without being intrusive. It never felt overly crowded, so we were able to enjoy our conversation without shouting over the music. If you're looking for a comfortable spot to unwind with friends and enjoy a well-made cocktail, this is definitely worth checking out.“

“🙂👍 Sara does a great job!“

“wonderful atmosphere ..and people“

“Great lighting for a first date! I sat at the bar, and the bartenders were very attentive and welcoming. I never had an empty glass. There's a good amount of space to mingle, and the atmosphere was chill and super friendly. The ladies bathroom is clean and private, and well maintained. Great job!“

“Love this venue! There’s plenty of parking in the lots surrounding the area, which makes it very convenient. The venue itself is spacious, with areas along the back walls where you can sit or stand depending on your preference.
They have a good selection of alcoholic beverages, as well as a few food options. I ordered the chicken sandwich, and the people sitting next to us ordered the pretzel—which looked delicious and smelled even better! 😋
Overall, we had a great experience. Definitely recommend this place and would come back again!“

“loved it 😅😆😆😊😊😇bdh😅😉😅😅😉“

“cool spot kareoke rocks“

“Always a great time at knucklehead especially on CholoGothNight! 🤘🏽🦇⛓️“

“Very cute hole in the wall or what you would call a dive bar! Very small and intimate definitely a good place to go if there's just two or three of you not really a place for a large group. They have some tables as well as a pool table, the drink selection is well-priced you can get a beer and a shot for 9$ which is amazing definitely not top shelf but for today's economy it's great also Mari is amazing ❤️“

“been hanging there since it opened. they always take care of me..love the Snake Pit. and my regular friends..“

“The Thai food is on point“

“🙂👍 Nate does a great job!“

“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“

“met the owner. nice guy!! loves the steelers...nuff said!“

“Great KJ, great bartenders and great customers! What more does one need?!“

“If you grew up in the 80s, stop whatever you're doing and go to Blipsy in Hollywood right now. This place is insanely charming and an absolute dream of an arcade bar—they literally have every single childhood game you can possibly think of.

But the real magic behind the bar is Bevin. She is the sweetest, most accommodating bartender, and she somehow makes the best push pops in all of Southern California. I tried the raisinette flavor the other day and it blew my mind.

Today, I discovered she also makes house-made caramel corn. Look, I’m from South Chicago. I bleed Garrett’s Popcorn. Garrett’s used to be my absolute favorite... until I tried Blipsy’s caramel popcorn. It is made in-house and it is to die for. I’m sorry Chicago, I love you, but Blipsy officially takes the crown for the best caramel popcorn ever! 🤤“

“Great djs. Fun night events“

“Came from the UK and stayed in the hotel opposite and visited this pub back in August a few times and found it very welcoming and managed to get a few games of pool in with the regulars who didn’t like me winning all the time 🤣😂. Bar staff are also great, if I pop over the pond again I will stop off there again.“

“There is no other place I love to let loose and dance my heart out more than The Dime! I had such a fun night being transported back to when bars were casual and fun to go to. Good drinks, great music, loved the vibe!“

“get it. putos!!!!This place is lit.“

“Loved this place, the vibes were awesome, people were fun. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because they have a Spanish name and have Virgin Mary candles but didn't play 1 Spanish song. Not 1 Bad Bunny, Selena, Pit Bull, nothing! We were there 4 hours and not 1 song to use your hips for. Other than that loved it and the wine was delicious.“

“Very friendly and fun place“

“Absolutely obsessed with this bar. Even though I’m not a big fan of singing, me and my friends love going on Wednesday for karaoke and dishing it out in Mario Kart on Thursday. The bartender Taylor is lovely and half of the reason why we go. You can tell she really cares and does a spectacular job setting the vibe and atmosphere for the patrons. I highly recommend going to check out one of the themes nights, next up for us is emo night on Monday!!“
