A great experience in a truly one-or-a-kind bar. Teddy was holding fort and telling great tales - some may have been partly

Do not come here unless you are a regular of this bar. We came to Teddys after hearing from a local that this would be a relaxing place on our anniversary. My wife and I are easy going but had an absolutely trash experience. A previous reviewer references the Big Lebowski. The owner is a Jeffrey..not a good Dude at all. We really wanted to enjoy this place, as it is unique, but it is not at all worth the time.

Don't miss Teddys if you're ever in the Venice area but get there early because it fills up quickly. Teddy's doesn't serve food but they do have beer and wine that you get for yourself and pay on your way out. Very clean and eclectic. Teddy is very particular about who he allows in so please bring your manners and enjoy yourself.

First things first, wear a collared shirt and be respectful. I understand it’s a bizarre place and system but that’s what makes it a gem. You really just make yourself at home. I could only imagine the people “kicked out” are not the type of crowd that you would want around. Coming from someone in their mid 20s, if you are a respectable person you will have a great time. Also Jolene, the German Shepard is an absolute sweetheart <3

I post reputable reviews and have the stats to prove it! We love quirky and we heard this guy was train wreck by reading other reviews. We went there with our party of 5 ages 46 to 78. We actually made bets with each other on when we would be thrown out. We just had a great dinner down the street and we were all dressed nicely. We walked in said hello to what seemed like a nice bunch of seniors and then it happened. Yep, thrown out! I’m almost 70, split a gut I laughed so hard. Proudly left. I’ve never been thrown out of an establishment so I got to cross that off my bucket list. We went to the Zebra Lounge around the corner and had a truly fun evening!
Teddy should be the mayor of Venice. The bar is tiny but if you want something different, you have found your place. It is self service so go ahead and go behind the bar and get you a glass of wine or beer. Everything must be poured in a glass because who doesn't want to look fancy. Am I right? Have a seat and get ready to be blessed. The German Shepherd will show up at 10 pm. Teddy takes a 5 minute break to walk him and let him do his business. Make sure you pay Teddy as you leave. You know what you had so don't cheat. If you're lucky, Teddy may let you join in on the cowbell.

Had a great time, Teddy is hilarious but I warn you! He does NOT like loud talkers or disrespectful people in his bar. Several east coast types were there while I was last visiting and he set them straight! It was rather humerus to watch the arrogance wash from their faces. You can talk laugh and have a great time, just don't yell and try to out talk everyone or use foul language...difficult task for a lot of people on the East coast. It's an absolute must if you want a good laugh and listen to Teddys hilarious stories

We stopped in briefly, and I mean BRIEFY! Teddy was black out drunk and yelling at a lovely elderly woman. It was shocking.

Heard about this place and thought we'd stop by. Went in about three steps and knew right away we didn't want to take a seat. People were so crowded together it was like being in an elevator. Maybe they all knew each other? A couple invited us to sit with them. Where, on their laps? Five stars for friendliness.
