41 Best Bar & Grill near Whittier

“Definitely going back food was amazing“

“Wings, Spin fries, flat pizza ,nachos and drinks never a dull moment 😊“

“The kitchen staff is top notch! It is apparent the kitchen staff takes great pride in the delivery of your plate. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Guy Fieri raid this joint! Live music and drinks too!!!“

“The music did not fail, we dancing all night UNTIL some knuckleheads started a fight and shut it down before 2am. Other than that the drinks were flowing and the vibes were ittt.

It does fill up fast so if you have a big party it's best to show up at 6pm otherwise you in for a wait.
There's street parking but if not there's also public parking available.

Kudos to the owner helping us out for our party, thank you sir 👍“

“The owner, whom I have known for a long time, said that she opened a restaurant in Buena Park, but since the opening time is 5 PM, it was difficult to find the time to visit, so I couldn’t visit.
However, she recently changed the opening time and opened for lunch, so I visited last week.
I had Rosé Tteokbokki, So-tteok So-tteok, and Sweet Potato Fries, and the food was all good.
One thing I wish could be improved is the decoration and interior. The concept of this place is to approach young customers with a comfortable atmosphere, but the scribbles covering the tables and walls didn‘t look very good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Available“

“Shepherd’s Pie & fish & chips are amazing! The drink & service was awesome! I can’t wait to go back!“

“Found this lil spot yesterday and it was amazing. Gluten free pizza was SO GOOD which is a tough thing to come by with my diet. Great options for those who like beer, great mixed drinks. Overall wonderful experience for just driving by.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options“

“Great dive bar with some of the best prices in town! Happy hour is great! I highly recommend their burgers, taquitos and wet burritos!
The bartenders Denese, lily and Lisa are always accommodating and the pool tables are always well maintained! If you're into darts they have high quality dart boards as well! I've been coming to this bar 15+ years....“

“Thank you Reese for looking out for your Women Patrons! I only wish I would have tipped you even more. But next time I come through, believe me, I will take care of you, like you took care of me! You are awesome Reese and a total gentleman to all your customers! Thanks again“

“Good music, good food and good drinks. The L.A. Jazz group is sensational!!!“

“This bar is rocking! Great music, bar maids, and cool crowd!“

“Great food my new favorite place...“

“Been to many many a bar in my lifetime. Scratch's is definitely top 3 for me. Huge brew selection, fair prices, great food, very comfortable atmosphere and it seems to be a magnet for very attractive women. Love the dart league

Parking: There are good number of spots in front of the location and then there is a huge shared parking lot with home Depot and del Taco that isn't being used by the other businesses later in the night and is never full in the day anyway.“

“It's a classic 50s or 60s local dive cocktail lounge with great dinners that are reasonably priced!“

“El servicio es excelente, es un buen lugar para pasar un muy buen tiempo de diversión, comida y bebidas riquísimas, buena música también. Altamente recomendado👍🏼“

“The steak and lobster and drinks“

“Great Bartenders Great people fast tables …“

“🙂👍 Allie does a great job!“

“We stopped by for a late breakfast and to watch some Sunday football. There was 4 of us. We had breakfast and lunch. The chila quila's were great, and the nachos was enough to share with 4. Beer was cold. They have plenty of tvs and a pool table. Is small but a great place to stop by. Will definitely be going back.“

“🙂👍 Oscar is a great bartender!“

Elevated Gastropub Vibes at Bar Louie Downey – A Culinary Hit with Stellar Service by Vida

Bar Louie Downey is the kind of spot that redefines what it means to be a neighborhood gastropub. Tucked into the Apollo Way plaza, this location delivers not only ambiance but a menu that balances comfort classics with bold twists—and my latest visit left no room for disappointment.

Let’s talk about the spread.

We kicked off with the Chicken Nachos, and I must say—Bar Louie doesn’t play around with portions or flavor. The layering was generous, with well-melted queso, crisp chips, and a satisfying mix of grilled chicken, black beans, guacamole, and pico. This was far from your standard bar nacho—each bite was fresh and crave-worthy.

For mains, we dove into two of their standout Craft Burgers. The All-Nighter burger lived up to its name: a perfectly cooked beef patty topped with melty cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, and a sunnyside-up egg. The creamy garlic aioli tied everything together into a rich, indulgent experience. This was comfort food, executed with finesse.

Then came the Chipotle BBQ Burger—a smoky, sweet, and tangy beauty layered with pepper jack, bacon, onion strings, and a delightful chipotle mayo that added just the right amount of heat. Both burgers were served with a small Caesar salad upon request, and the crisp romaine and bold parmesan did not disappoint as a side pairing.

Drinks? Absolutely. We ordered the Rock & Rita and the Bull Rush. Both cocktails were balanced, smooth, and a perfect mid-day complement to our savory feast. The Rock & Rita in particular was citrusy and fresh—ideal for spring sipping.

But what truly elevated the experience was our server, Vida. Her energy was warm, her timing impeccable, and her attentiveness made us feel genuinely taken care of. When an appetizer card needed redeeming, she handled it with ease and ensured our bill reflected the discount with no fuss. Vida’s service struck the perfect balance of friendly and professional, adding a personal touch that made our lunch feel like more than just a meal.

Final Thoughts:
Bar Louie Downey nails the upscale-casual vibe. From standout burgers to perfectly executed apps and handcrafted drinks, this is a place I’ll revisit when I want bold flavors without the pretense. Ask for Vida—her service alone is worth the visit.

– Come for the food, stay for the vibe.“

“🍅 🍲 And a lot of friendly peoples. Atmosphere is very nice and decorated.“

“My son and I dined here for breakfast. We both had the American breakfast, eggs, bacon and toast. The eggs were good, mine over easy and my son liked his scrambled. The toast was good as were the potatoes. The OJ was also good. We enjoyed it so much we both had the same breakfast the second day.“

“Good service and good food“

“I've been there 2 times thus week,, sooo much fun great food & drinks, Pete introduced himself to us as well. we'll be back!!“

“Great food and drink and great service from the bartender 👍“

“The food here is delicious, but it's best to come earlier in the day when you can enjoy a larger selection as well as the company of other customers. The plates cost $20-$30 but they're very worth it, as the taste is indistinguishable from what's made back in Guayaquil, Ecuador. If you come later in the day, you'll have fewer options and it'll seem empty. The folks working here also are cool and friendly! 😎👌🍽️“

“Came here for a friend birthday, they have good selection of skewer items, and a verity of Chinese bottled beverages. The food is delicious, they cook at the back and bring it to you. I really like the tin foil clam and glass noddle, and special beef skewer. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Grilled fish is also very tasty, and can be made not spicy at all.“

“Always a good laugh or two provided by Brad. Beers are cold, tunes are what you put on, fries are always on point; crispy without being over fried, served hot! Pool, darts, and lotsa TVs. Only thing missing is a new and current 2024 Golden Tee Golf ???“

“I was here for a birthday party, due to this event all of the staff was assigned to this event from 5:00 pm to 7:30 dinner and the bar services wasn't being offered . Once services were back in full swing, the margaritas were margarotahs terrible . Hosting a party and while being open as a full bar was too much for them to handle, they can only do one or the other.“

“Good times guaranteed. Good drinks.“

“the place is amazing since you walk in you go back in time on the 80s era , people are nice , bartenders are fast and courteous“

“Went here with my colleagues last March 13, 2025 (Thursday). We were living close to this place in Applebees Montebello. Looks very cozy, perfect vibe if you wanted a chill time with your friends or family. Food and service are superb! They were quick and attentive to our orders. Has a mini bar, lots of chairs for dine in. Given that we were huge group, they were still able to give a great service. Will definitely come back!“

“crew is excellent and the environment also the sushi that we tried out out!! wow !!! fresh and prepared excellent!! thank you guys for the excellent hospitality!! and very very clean!!!“
