47 Best Cocktail Bars near Woodland Hills

“rib eye steak is the best“

“we came here on a whim after watching a movie at AMC Fallbrook. I’m so glad we did. We sat at the bar and were served by Lilly the bartender. She was an absolute joy to speak to and made fantastic drinks. The Pear elixir was unbelievable. It usually comes in a martini glass, but I asked for it in a regular glass. We ordered the cheese quesadilla to start, then we got a Croque Madame and a turkey burger. Both were absolutely delicious. The turkey burger was not dry. It was fantastic. This place offers many things to do daily. Poetry readings, music featuring local artists, R&B, jazz, soft rock, etc. They also do micro weddings and rehearsal dinners! There is a dining patio out front and in the back, but the latter is something special. There’s a little stage there where they offer all these fun nights and where someone would have their micro wedding. It is open air, but covered and retractable. The architecture and character is adorable and I loved it. There was parking in the back and some chairs and a table with an ashtray for smokers in the parking area. they have Sunday ticket and multiple TVs to watch all sports, including women sports! Just ask the and they will change one of the channels! please know the channel name in advance! plus, They are LGBTQ friendly! They do have vegan options available as stated by a sign on a chalkboard I remember seeing!“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“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!“

“Maui Sugar Mill Saloon is one of those rare places that feels less like a typical night out and more like stepping into a living, breathing slice of local culture.

From the moment you arrive, there’s an immediate sense that this venue has its own personality. It doesn’t try to imitate modern, overly polished entertainment spots—instead, it embraces a more authentic, slightly vintage, and effortlessly cool atmosphere. That character alone makes it stand out in a world where many places start to feel interchangeable.

What truly makes this place special is its energy. There’s a certain unpredictability in the best possible way—you never quite know how the night will unfold, but you can be sure it will be memorable. The space feels intimate yet lively, with a layout that naturally encourages connection, conversation, and shared experiences.

One of the strongest impressions comes from the live entertainment. The performances here don’t feel like background noise—they feel like the heartbeat of the room. Whether it’s music, local talent, or spontaneous moments that happen throughout the night, everything contributes to an atmosphere that feels genuine and unforced. It’s the kind of place where you catch yourself getting fully absorbed in the moment without even realizing it.

The crowd adds another layer to the experience. There’s a nice mix of regulars and newcomers, all blending together in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It creates a sense of community that is increasingly rare to find. People aren’t just passing through—they’re part of the experience, even if just for the evening.

The staff plays an important role in maintaining that vibe. Friendly, attentive, and grounded, they help keep everything running smoothly while still preserving the laid-back spirit of the place. There’s no sense of rush or pressure—just an easygoing approach that lets the night unfold naturally.

What I appreciated most is that Maui Sugar Mill Saloon doesn’t rely on flashy gimmicks. Its charm comes from authenticity. It’s a place that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else. That confidence translates into a consistently enjoyable experience where the focus is simply on good moments, good energy, and good company.

By the end of the visit, it’s not just about what you saw or heard—it’s about the feeling you leave with. A sense of having been part of something real, something local, something that still values atmosphere and human connection over trends.

It’s the kind of place you don’t just visit once. You return because it feels familiar, comfortable, and alive in a way that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. A true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates live energy, community spirit, and a relaxed, unforgettable night out.“

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

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

“An absolutely phenomenal restaurant from top to bottom. The food is world class and the service is absolutely impeccable. Phillip, the front desk manager, was accommodating to a level that I have rarely seen. A wonderful experience and one that I hope to repeat many times over.“

“The food and the service was so nice!!“

“Sugar Suite is my favorite bar in the valley! I usually come on Monday and Friday after work to see the blonde bartender! She makes the best Michelada and is the sweetest! The atmosphere is always great. Don’t forget to stay for Karla after her on Mondays!“

“Absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is so inviting, and the staff always go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The food is consistently delicious, especially their signature dishes – I can't recommend it enough!“

“Luis was awesome! Excellent service!“

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

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“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!!“

“Un lugar muy agradable te atienden súper bien“

“They have the best KJ in town!“

“Great food Great service. Fantastic drinks“

“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!

“Chela’s Cantina is an awesome spot to kick back, have fun, and enjoy a great night out. Thursday karaoke nights are definitely my favorite — great energy, good crowd, and always a fun atmosphere.

The ceviche is absolutely amazing, the drinks are on point, and the bartenders… well, you’ll just have to come see for yourself. 😄

If you’re looking for a place with good vibes, music, great food, and a fun nightlife experience, Chela’s Cantina is definitely worth checking out.“

“Friendly atmosphere Delicious meals are tasty, appetizing, scrumptious, yummy, delightful, lovely, wonderful, pleasant, enjoyable, appealing, enchanting, charming and hihgly pleasant to the taste.“

“Came in for a late breakfast. It was pretty busy but once through the line the food and the coffee came out fast. Breakfast tacos were very good. Lots of egg and thick, crispy bacon. Coconut cold brew was very tasty, sweet but not too sweet. Atmosphere insid3 is comfortable, but tables could have been wiped down. Altogether we really enjoyed it.“

“Sutter’s feels like stepping back in time, not just with its decor, but with the service too. The cozy booth seating gives you a sense of privacy. Our waiter was superb, very attentive and always ahead of any request we might have had! This really makes dining here top notch!
We all enjoyed the Prime Rib, and it was absolutely delicious! The horseradish was a fantastic, perfectly blended addition. The side salad with tomatoes, fresh cut cucumbers (a treat) and the baked potato really made the meal complete. I definitely recommend this restaurant!! It’s ideal for a night out, while also offering the ideal, cozy spot to celebrate an anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or any other special occasion.“

“Awesome burgers. This place rocks“

“Great atmosphere, the music and the two beautiful belly dancers you have performing on Saturday nights are awesome. The food, drinks and service was incredible. We will definitely be back!!“

“So good that my cousin and I went there three times in one week! The food was really good, especially for the price, the staff (all three waiters we had!) were knowledgable, helpful, kind/friendly, and the atmosphere on the patio was pleasant. This seems like a small thing but most of the time when I order salmon and ask for it to be on the tender/rare side my request is ignored -- not at Rosti, they got it right! The vegetables and potatoes were well-cooked, and the house-baked bread was soooo good! 100% recommend.“

“I like this place. Used to live nearby, but moved in 2024. I now travel 17 miles to go to this place. It has a low key vibe, service is good, and the food is good. It's inside a Nordstrom at the mall. So, it's a good spot in between shopping errands and seeing a movie at the AMC. They have a happy hour and a bar. They share pretty much the same menu as Cafe Verde at Century City & The Grove, which is blocks from me, but I prefer this location and they have French Onion soup which the others don't.“

“Cali casual vibe. We went around 2:30p so not a big crowd lunch menu. We had salmon & cod —we loved the flavors. Cod portion was petite so if you get there hungry like the wolf you won’t be satiated but if you order a desert or order an appetizer you’ll leave happy. The eclectic complex flavors make up for the petit portion. Salmon was portioned just about right came in with purple rice. Menu includes burgers & other menu staples but I was wowed by the fish offerings. Suggestions would be put a fan up the ceiling it gets humid inside during the summer & also have ice accessible for the self serve water area. Whatcha waiting for just go! -Malibu Zinque“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“the Best Persian restaurant....♡ it !!!“

“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🤓❤️“

“The Chicken Parmesan is Amazing“
