50 Best Cocktail Bars near Woodland Hills

“rib eye steak is the best“

“Absolutely stellar experience. Great food and great service. What impressed me the most was how sparkling clean it was. Most pubs tend to be filthy....not the White Harte. From the crystal clear front window to the spotless patio to the bathrooms. It felt like a brand new building. The pub area is a little small but has a cozy feel. Dining at the pub really takes you out of the city for a bit, in that you feel a sense of rural Britain. It was not too loud, yey everyone was having a marvelous time. Also, everyone from staff to patrons seemed friendly and mild mannered. I came with my folks, and they were more than accommodating to our needs. Thank you for a memorable experience.“

“Had a wonderful meal. The chef was awesome and interactive“

“Ah... The Maui Sugar Mill, in Tarzana, Ca.

I've been going to this venue on Monday nights for live music, mostly blues, for 17 years. All ages attend, and the atmosphere is chill very rare to see any issues there.

It never gets old! The fun never stops. I always have a great time, and the people (some I've seen or known for years) in attendance are fun and lively.

The first show, usually a local band, starts at 8pm.

The main event begins around 9pm and goes on until about 11pm.

Artists and bands, some famous (from all over the globe), perform here. Joe Bonamassa was just there performing. However, I believe tickets were sold for that event due to his popularity in the music world.

From about 11pm until close (around 1:30-1:45am), there is an open jam (featuring musicians and singers from all backgrounds) run by bassist Michael B. Bolden. Michael has played with many famous artists and is famous in his own rite!

During the open jam, you'll see all sorts of musicians get pared together and play and sing some amazing music.

It's certainly a treat, I often stay for this entertaining and interesting part of the evening!

The whole nights events are brought to you and run by a local promoter and blues guitarist Cadillac Zack. He's amazing and wonderful! Don't forget to get on his mailing list to be informed of upcoming events.

It's free to get in!
However, there is a two drink minimum. The bartenders render service with a smile, and they never pressure you. A voluntary contribution is asked for and collected by Cadillac Zack to pay the perfoemers sometime during the show.

No worries, though! You will get much more (amazing artists, entertainment, and people) out of it than what you put into the donation pot. Heck, you may become a regular like many of us!

Note: It gets pretty full, but you can reserve a table or seat for a fee (Contact Cadillac Zack, he's on Facebook) for more info.

Oh! One more thing! If you get hungry, the restaurant next door serves food until 10 pm. You can order right from where you are, and they'll deliver it right to you.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it's wheelchair friendly but gets pretty packed.“

“If you want to go to a bar with perfect seating, great airflow, excellent drinks, flawless service l, a fantastic DJ, a parking lot, a nyc vibe, no one rushes you and you can even reserve a table for drinks…go to the Chestnut Club. My favorite new bar. 14th & Santa Monica Blvd @TheChestnutClub same owners as scopa and black market liquor!“

“Dee did such an incredible job. She was very polite and professional. She was super attentive and overall helpful. Definitely would come earlier in the day as the dinner period can get a bit loud but regardless a very benevolent experience!“

“A must place for a sports“

“as a newyorker in los angeles the fact that there is a bar open after 9pm in brentwood to eat and drink 🍹 😱.“

“Local bar, friendly staff, friendly patrons, pool table and darts. 🥂“

“A classic, traditional Jazz bar with old fashioned friendly rules, a casual, welcoming vibe and long-standing live music.

Don't dress like a slob, but you don't have to dress up. If you're in old Canoga Park, Casey's is not to be missed.“

“We had a spectacular meal last night and our server Allison went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. She recommended the Lobster sliders to start and a wonder white wine which we enjoyed throughout the meal. She spaced out each course so we had some time to savor the unique and wonderful flavors which we so appreciated. The albacore cerviche was one of the best cerviche I have ever had anywhere. And the boar ragu pasta was divine. But the Tikka Massala Chicken was the most delicious presentation of chicken imaginable. We also loved the desert Allison suggested which was an unusual take on peanut butter and whipped cream and fresh berries. Just a delightful way to end the perfect night. Can't wait to return and try more of their innovative dishes.“

“One of my absolute favorite places to eat in Los Angeles!“

“The food is both eclectic and delicious. The location is both artsy and industrial with warm and inviting staff. I highly recommend this place for a date, business, family, or anything because it’s fabulous.“

“Came in for a drink and to check out the area since we are new to the area. The place was kind of small and majority of the people inside were older. The tables had all the dirty cups on there and were still there when we were leaving. We ordered double shots of tequila and a few micheladas. We saw people eating McDonalds in there. They have darts to play and the music was nice,“

“Manager Josh is amazing. I had a bad experience dining at Ospi already in terms of service, so after there were missing items in my order I was about ready to give up. I called in and when he took the phone he didn't hesitate, asked me for my address and drove over the food himself. He also threw in a kale salad for me as well. I will be coming back. Ospi team, you have a good one in Josh!“

“Beautiful restaurant and bar with tasty food and great service. I’ll be back!“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“Luis was awesome! Excellent service!“

“I recommend the Bbq chicken, Rack of Ribs and Brisket overall everything I ordered was delicious.“

“Please give George - who I renamed GMoney - a raise! In all seriousness, he made me (a California newbie) feel so welcome and happy while I was out here visiting my daughter... beyond words. He was amazing and nothing like the East Coast bartenders I’ve been used to! A wonderful night was had because of him!“

“I love it here because it’s old fashion great table service because management excels in traffic patterns with cross trained wait staff and bidders. No server leaves the kitchen empty handed and the vibe is to make their customers happy with continuous even flow table service. Disney please take note! I am not of of millennial restaurants where stand at a cash register and pay the tip upfront then assigned a number & number holder then fend & elbow for a table. This is old school service upgraded with innovative traffic management to expedite cuisines & cocktails. I love the intimacy of the raised railroad car booths where I can actually hear my guest’s conversation and speak to wait staff at eye level. And the bathrooms are so modern and spotless! The observation window to see the cooking staff hard at work is as much fun as a cooking show! Chocolate chip cookies are warm but melt in your mouth!

“They have the best KJ in town!“

“I was very impressed by the friendliness and service with Ollo for a recent catering delivery. I called around to several places and with very slow response times and abruptness directing me back to the website for Uber delivery. The host and manager Spencer followed up on the order and went out of the way to make sure it was a great experience for the group and the stressed out person (me:) trying to coordinate for the group. Highly recommend!!“

“To serve in the same spot, with the same spirit, since 1958 — for 67 years — is not just admirable, it’s a quiet triumph. It tells its own story: of consistency, care, and character. The choice of the name Sutter’s Mill is no coincidence; it echoes with the very roots of California’s bold beginnings — a subtle nod to legacy.

Over the years, we’ve brought many guests to your doors, and each time, we’ve found the same charm: a graceful blend of old-school warmth, elegant décor, and service that still remembers the value of attentiveness.

Sutter’s Mill isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a keeper of tradition in a world that rushes to forget. Please, carry this torch forward, untouched by fleeting trends, and keep shining for at least another 67 years.

Thank you. 🤌🏻🫶🏻“

“This restaurant is phenomenal! First of all the food is dreamy, I particularly LOVE the shrimp pasta. The cocktails are also just insane i love the fresh fruit in them sooo yummy! We have come multiple times and every time is great. Staff is always so friendly. Came on Fathers Day w/ the hubby & sat at the bar. Our bartender Lexi was killin it. She was the ONLY BARTENDER on a holiday!!!! Two thumbs up for her thats one hard workin chickie and doing it all with a smile! Definitely come check Lure out!“

“Happy Hour is a great time to experience this place! Delicious items on the Happy Hour menu, of course you can order from regular menu as well. Mix and match! We love the Ceviche and Carnitas tacos. Shot of Tequila and a Modelo hit the spot. Friendly people and atmosphere.“

“ALWAYS AN AWSOME TIME , food , Drinks Ambiance , EVERYTHING FANTASTIC !!!!“

“Finney’s a solid choice if you’re looking for an American gastropub that’s family friendly and offers quality food and drinks. I’ve been to at least four locations and they’re all pretty great. The only reason I didn’t give the food five stars is that the food portions are a bit on the smaller side. For example, if you’re an active adult male (like my hubby) and you order shrimp tacos as your entree, you’ll likely need to add a salad with protein or an appetizer. Aside from that minor note, highly recommend!“

“A gem of a dining destination with an elevated but accessible menu. Patio seating is a must, and coyote fries are a can’t-miss—as is the entire wine list.“

“1st time here, food was well prepared and good. Prime rib was great. Didn't wait, we were seated promptly. They had specials.

Parking: Some street parking and plenty in parking area and alley area.

Kid-friendliness: My little ones got the cheese burger and they were happy.“

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“This restaurant offers a great mix of classic and modern dishes. I tried the roasted chicken with herbs, and it was flavorful and juicy. The side of roasted potatoes was crispy and delicious. The service was attentive without being intrusive.“

“Audri made this experience phenomenal. I’ll never forget being skeptical about this addition to the Topanga mall - an establishment I’d frequent regularly in my youth. But today I’m back as an experimenter and Margherita Garden with Audri and I’m totally sold. It was beyond what I expected. And I thank the staff for that. Even though the selection of alcohol was minimal I stayed and spent my time here because it was beyond welcoming thanks to her and the staff. She and the staff are incredible. Love it all. Whoever runs this thing - please take good care of these peeps ❤️“

“Best Persian food I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it.I have a small business and I’m being honest and truthful. Most importantly, NEDA is one of the reasons I go there and even when I called for delivery’s she makes me feel so good and welcomed. She’s warm ,friendly and very professional

“I was recommended there by Jillian Barberie from Good Day L.A. It was my 1st time there & it did not disappoint at all. Valet parking. Quick prompt service, waitress was attentive and food was spot on! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“it's chill and the beach is across the street“

“They have a huge selection of Beer on Tap and Thank goodness they had Angry Orchard as I am the only person who prefers wine🤓❤️“

“We had a wonderful dinner experience at Umberto's Trattoria and Cantina! Our group of six was warmly welcomed by Tony, our friendly and attentive server. We were seated in one of the cozy dining rooms, which was both comfortable and perfect for conversation.

The menu is a unique and appealing blend of Italian and Mexican specialties—ideal for a group with varied tastes. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the flavorful Carne Asada, a satisfying Quesadilla, a generous Antipasto Plate, and two orders of classic Pasta Pomodoro. I especially loved the Umberto’s Pasta with penne, broccoli, and sun-dried tomatoes—I requested Alfredo sauce on the side and used it sparingly, and it turned out to be a fabulous choice!

The margarita was excellent, and we were impressed by the wide selection of beer and wine available.

For dessert, we shared the Tartufo al Pistachio, Mixed Berry Cheesecake, and Chocolate Mousse—all of which were delicious and beautifully presented.

They also offer a daily Happy Hour from 3–7 pm (except Sundays when they are closed), featuring great specials on a wide selection of appetizers and drinks. The bar area is relaxed and inviting—perfect for winding down or meeting friends.

Located right on Sepulveda freeway close across from he Getty Museum, Umberto’s is a fantastic midway stop for commuters traveling to and from the San Fernando Valley. A great place to relax and unwind and let the traffic calm down! There’s convenient parking in the garage, and the restaurant offers several dining rooms that can accommodate up to 100 guests—making it an excellent venue for group events.

Highly recommended!“

“What a vibe! Came for a draft beer, stayed for another (the mystery was worth it). Surprised by a personal magic show, right beside me at the bar!

Professional staff, easy to talk to, and matching an atmosphere you cannot only visit once.“

“Great food and atmosphere and within walking distance from the metro rail.“

“My daughter and I shared a lovely dinner here during a weekend away. We loved the Le Bowl and the Vegan Falafel Bowl and shared a delicious Beef Carpaccio before our meal. Our server was so kind, offered great wine recommendations for me and a virgin Mojito for my daughter. We will definitely be back.“

“awesome atmosphere, fun events, great staff, and location.“
