“As a Chicago transplant, I can’t say I miss sports bars. But I do miss the local neighborhood ones! Despite its almost punk rock aesthetic coupled with its pool table and arcade games, it’s incredibly welcoming and I only wish I lived closer to it to be one of its regulars there. You get people from all walks of life; which is sign of a great bar really.Simple and easy drinks with a solid happy hour what more could you want? Well how about some decent snacks? The food menu here is more than decent and so inexpensive; I come here just to have a Chicago dog more than I want a drink! I also love the they have two very popular tiki drinks as well!There’s plenty of room around; from chilling at the bar area, sitting in the spacious dining room, or standing at the high tops in the game room. (Won’t spoil the surprise, but there’s a very fun arcade game that everyone wants to win, that I’m sure so many have already seen).And if you love sports and miss our favorite home teams, I can’t think of anywhere else I’d want to watch them. That includes watching them at home.Vegetarian options: Vegan hot dogs!Parking: Long Blvd that had only 2 hours of parking until 6pm. Then you’re all gooooodWheelchair accessibility: Easy entry and table seating.“
“If you're on the lookout for an establishment that blends top-notch cocktails with an unbeatable atmosphere, look no further than Powerhouse Bar. Tucked away in the heart of the Hollywood, this gem stands out as a haven for cocktail enthusiasts and social butterflies alike.“
“Kinda fell in love with the place last night. Saw a perfect gig (Rose City Band), the staff was lovely, the music was on point and exactly what I'm into, the record store's great, it's all damn great and I'd make it my second home if I lived in LA.“
“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.“
“So my friends invited us here because it was allegedly haunted and although we didn't see a ghost it was still really fun! It's a really unique bar, super small and intimate, and since it's next to the Pantages Theatre you get to see a lot of interesting characters. The vibe is cool, and not serious, I would say it's a good place to get the feel of HOLLYWOOD.“
“This is literally the best bar in LA!! If you’ve ever watched Cheers, Crawford’s is where you go and every body knows your name. The best food, THE BEST SERVICE ❤️❤️, the best pool play in town hands down. Glad there’s no alcohol here so I can stay longer!!“
“Busy bar! The staff there are friendly, busy and fast. Our food came in less than ten minutes after we ordered world famous cheeseburgers. They were delicious and came with very fresh pepperoncinies and a bag of chips. Medium amount of drink options but better than average. There is a pool table and several TVs around the bar inside. There is also ample patio room and is private with a bamboo fence (private but not good for people watching). One small downside was that the bathrooms were tiny. If we return to this area again we will be eating here for sure !Parking: Better to park some where else and stop on the way to the boardwalk“
“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!“
“the kibitz room is really funny to me, I don't know what it is it's just kind of funny that it exists you know, like it's such a different vibe than the deli. they let me bring in a big thermos after giving it the smell test and making sure it wasn't full of a gallon of vodka, so I was lucky I wasn't carrying around my usual gallon of vodka. the world is going to hell in a handbasket. one time a server did not believe me that I wanted the pickled herring, I guess I'm hard to read, but I promise I never make jokes like that, if I order it it means I want it. I respect that server though. there was one time where there was a server there and he lived in unfortunate circumstances, but he did me a favor which makes him honest in my eyes. I just love the cast of people there, including the ones that are only there for a bit because they screwed up Rodney bingenheimer's order. hahaha“
“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.“
“Great place, great prices, great food and great drinks. New favorite for me. I’m not a big fan of loud bars or restaurants as I prefer having a conversation without screaming. So my experience here was a breath of fresh air as it was nice and quiet with background music being just that… background music. Not trying to make your ears bleed like most places these days hahaha.“
“One of my favorite dive bars in town. Inexpensive drinks ($11 for my Ford's Gin 'n tonic) and excellent service from the bartenders. On a slow night Justin can easily keep up with drink orders while beating you at darts. Dodgers and Lakers games usually on the TVs. Last call at 1:30 am most nights. There's one scruffy pool table in the bar, one dart board, and the men's room has more graffiti than most men's rooms. It gets packed Thursdays through Saturdays. Plenty of friendly people in the bar. Very diverse crowd. One night as I was walking up, a woman stumbled out and threw up right at the entrance. Everyone just stepped over it to get in. The only thing this place is missing is good bar food, but you're welcome to bring your own. Monty's is next door where you can get a good plant-based burger, or you can go across the street to Carl's Jr and get a Star Burger for half the price. Loads of excellent Korean food nearby. It would be nice if someone opened a taco stand in the parking lot at the corner. No parking, of course, and this part of K-Town can be tough to find a spot. Best to Uber/Lyft anyway. Have a good time here! Cheers!“
“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.“
“Great place, great crowd, great bartenders, great tables. This was one of the first places that opened up after the lockdowns, so I'm so grateful to Brickyard for giving me a place to do what I loveI've never had food there, but I'm giving them five stars anyway, bc they're that awesome“
“Haven't been to Gold Room in years, better than I remember it. Small dive bar off Sunset. Bartender Tony was friendly, attentive and quick to take our drink order. His cocktails were very very well made. He takes his time and you can tell enjoys the craft. Tried the Double Trouble and Pineapple Express. Double Trouble is absolutely delicious - 10/10. Pineapple Express was just as good, but def loaded (has mezcal & tequila). It'll have you feeling good real quick. Drink prices are reasonable priced for LA. Same for their daily happy hour menu. Very solid beer menu too. They have a jukebox you can pay to control the music which is kinda cool. Get to hear a variety of music genres cause of it. Solid bar for a quick beer or cocktail.“
“Nestled discreetly in the heart of the city, Foxfire is truly a diamond in the rough - the best-kept secret for those in the know!

The service at Foxfire is nothing short of exceptional! The staff goes above and beyond, treating you like a cherished regular from the first hello. Prompt, friendly, and always with a smile - they make you feel right at home. And let's talk about the darts - a game-changer! Foxfire boasts the best dart setup in town, providing endless entertainment. What's more exciting is the chance to engage in thrilling dart battles against patrons from other bars. It's a fantastic way to spice up your night and make new friends. In a city full of options, Foxfire stands out as a unique haven for those seeking a memorable experience. Whether you're a local looking for a new hangout or a visitor in search of authentic fun, Foxfire is the place to be! Cheers to Foxfire - where good times are not just promised but delivered with flair.“
“This place is really cool... great vibe and not overly crowded. Definitely would have given it 5 stars but they allow smoking on the small patio and the whole area becomes rather unpleasant. I'm definitely going back but I'll be drinking inside.“
“Nostalgic games a quarter each play pinball more . Shooting games, old school mario games , dj different themes different day.Open floor plan tables in the sides of walls.Parking street parking nearby if you make it their on time elmwood and rosewood.Spent 1 to 2 hours just felt like a kid again playing games I used to.“
“I visited back in Fall 2023, so while this review is outdated, I remember the experience. If you asked me for a high-end afternoon tea recommendation, this place would be my first inclination. I took my sister here for her birthday in 2023 at $109 per person for afternoon tea; hotel valet was $17. I was pleased with the ambience, aesthetics, and service at this price point. A glass of champagne was included with the tea, strawberries & cream, and food.“
“Really nice place, you’re allowed dogs inside which I loved. I didn’t have a dog but there was a dog there and she was lovely! Watched some of the game there well we ate some breakfast. We also went and had lunch the next day too that’s how much we loved the tacos!“
“If you like hidden dive bars, this is the place. I'm from the Midwest, and Lei Aloha reminds me of those taverns that working class folks went to after work. Drinks are stiff and affordable. We went there on a whim, after lunch nearby. Jukebox takes credit cards. Vending machine in the rear for snacks and flatscreens to watch the games. Plenty of parking in rear. We will be back.“
“Love this bar. Linda is probably one of the best bartenders in Hollywood. It's primarily metal but opens the door for a lot of alternative music. Parking isn't great but you should take an Uber or a get a designated driver if you plan on grabbing drinks in Hollywood.“
“I'll put it to you like this, on the night Black Panther came out in theatres the late great Chadwick Bozeman spent the evening with friends at the dime. Now think about that, he could've been anywhere in the world but he was at the dime. My point is this is the kind of place that the biggest celebrities in the world can come and feel like just part of the crowd. The Dime is by far one of my favorite dive bars in all of LA. They keep a good rotation of djs and they all bring their own flavor. I'm a big 90's hip hop head and they're always playing dope stuff that I grew up on. Bartenders are always a vibe and pours are legit. I used to frequent the Tuesday comedy night when Adam and Nicky hosted and I can't count the amount of good local comics and famous comics I've seen for free here. Now that I'm older I don't go on the weekends as much because it gets stupid packed but if that's your things go for it. For the guys this is one of the best places to meet women because no one is pretentious here, just enjoying life and vibing. With Fairfax constantly changing by the day it's great to still have a local staple that hasn't lost its magic.“
“A cash only dive bar, it's very dark inside. They open at 8am, which is perfect for night shift workers. They always greet you with a smile. Drinks are reasonable and you will always walk away laughing because it is a fun atmosphere to relax and get cocktails. They also do Karaoke on Sunday nights, it's busy, but great singers and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend if you need a great dive bar. Parking is usually available in the parking lot or on the street nearby. Just watch out for street cleaning signs if you leave your car.“
“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.“
“I came here after an assistant director told me about it. After Mother's Day I decided it was time for mother's night. I hit up residuals lone wolfing it. I was quick to befriend a comedian who informed me that the White Russian drinks they make are good. Their prices are extremely reasonable compared to most bars in LA. Tip if you have a residual check for under a dollar you get a free drink. Make some friends with old people. I met a variety of different interesting characters. WARNING: This is a bar where people can actually sing during karaoke.“
“Sai is one of the best servers I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her hospitality and warmth did not go unnoticed, and I appreciate her ability to make me feel at home at a bar I had never before attended. The food was incredible, and the fries were the BEST I’ve had at a bar in LA. Come here if you want amazing food and happy vibes. :)“
“You shouldn't want to go to a dive bar. They're dark and dingy and unwelcoming. Get your beer, shut up, and sit down. These are all mostly true of Club Tee Gee and yet, I still find myself coming back.When you walk in, yeah, it's dark and dingy, but that's kind of the charm of this place. While everything in LA is modern and trendy, this feels like a bygone era. There's leather booths, a juke box in the back, a long bar, and during the day, the curtains are drawn.You walk up to the bar and the process is pretty simple...get something on tap, canned, or get a cocktail of your choice. The options are plentiful and while I haven't had to try, it seems the bartenders know what they're doing and can probably make anything you want. Price wise, everything is pretty reasonable.If dark and dingy isn't your thing, step out onto their back patio and enjoy the picnic tables, string lights, and when chilly enough, heaters. Come with your dog and enjoy a variety of different events ranging from performances, DJs, and the occasional pinewood derby race.They don't serve food here, but there's usually a food truck or pop up. The main reason for coming here is the almost weekly visit by Yellow Paper Burger. On a Sunday night, there's nothing better than sitting on the patio with a beer and some friends while the air is filled with griddled meats.By all logic, you shouldn't want to go a dive bar...but you should want to come to Club Tee Gee.“
“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.“
“Love this bar. I'm new to the neighborhood,this will be my go to bar . Taylor was very nice and attentive. I came on a weekday and the vibe was chill. Definitely music was good. My lagunitas beer tasted so good . Especially when service was good . I will bring my friends for sure .“
“Decent venue, nothing fancy, but is affordable, sometimes you can snag a spot on the street near by, they have cool acts and events. I am surprised I never reviewed it since I have been going to the Echo for over 10 years for concerts, NYE parties and always had a good time. The crowd is OK, bathrooms clean enough, drinks are reasonably priced. I like their DJ-s and their sets, really fun and gets you on that dance floor. I prefer small venues like the Echo, more intimate, with more character, edgier! Keep your eyes on their Events calendar!“
“Great dive bar. I can't thru here to grab a couple of drinks with a friend on his birthday. I used to frequent this establishment a lot many years ago and I loved how friendly the bartenders were. This feeling still holds true nearly 10 years later. They've got a pool table and a music machine that'll play if you pay. Honestly a great neighborhood bar. Beer & wine only - expetion they now have soju.“
“This is a cool laidback neighborhood bar with a huge lounge area, pool table, and TVs.I’ve been 4 times and it was pleasant each time.Patrons play good music on the TouchTunes. People are polite and cordial. I’ve met some nice people here. The ladies room is clean and fresh.Drinks are very reasonable during happy hour. Specialty cocktails are regular-priced almost as high as Ventura Blvd.Staff does their job and treats customers like they are happy to be there.“
“My client who is of Hispanic descent wanted a quick drink, a chavela which consists of a beer with clamato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and lime. I had 4 shots of tequila of Don Julio. The service was good, the lady who helped us was attentive but if you like loud mexican music like banda, this is the place for you. The ambiance is very interesting. As soon as you walk in, you transport to a Mexican cantina in Mexico. It's very dark in here but the vibes is great and we enjoyed our drinks. There is a pool table in the back of this dive bar. The people here were very chill and had good energy. There is no parking lot here so you have to park on the street. Cool experience, check it out and be open-minded!“
“I was here last night with a couple of my friends for a girls night out. I have been before, though I'm not a local, one of my friends lives nearby. We all like it, good atmosphere. Gabe was working and he's a great bartender, always really friendly and makes great drinks! No fuss, just great service and nice and small with a pool table.“
“Love this bar!!!! Their drinks and shots are super cheap and the vibe is awesome. They were playing throwback rock music like Blink 182, Killers, etc the night I went which I loved. Highly recommend if you're in WeHo and looking for a place to get wasted for cheap!“
