The Wilshire (Bourbon & Cigar) Dive Bar

Great hideaway bar

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I stopped by this little dive bar not knowing what to expect, but the bartenders D & TK completely made the night and guaranteed my return! They were friendly, quick with a drink, and had that perfect mix of chill and charm that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time there. The drinks were on point, the conversation was easy, and the vibe was exactly what a good dive bar should be — laid-back, unpretentious, and full of character.
You can tell they both really care about people having a great time as they kept an eye on everyone without being overbearing, remembered drink orders like magic, and even had great music recommendations. Honestly, it’s rare to find bartenders who make a place feel like home, but they both nailed it. I hope whoever manages this place knows and appreciates what stars they have here!!
If you’re looking for a no-frills bar with great energy and bartenders who know what they’re doing (and clearly love it), this is the spot. Cheers to good drinks and even better company! 🍻

The vibe and staff are amazing, one of my favorite local spots. This place is a true hidden gem. ❤️

Only issue is one bartender who seems to have an attitude problem. She goes by initials as her name I think. I've watched her be rude with guests for no reason, simply because she just doesn't seem to like them or she's just taking her own issues out on others. I'll keep coming back because I do love the spot, but will do my best to avoid my money going to her if at all possible. Customer service is the name of the game and she doesn't have it.
The rest of the staff are total rockstars and make this place worth it.

Some guy by the bar ruined my night. He said he was 31 but he looked like he was about 11 years old, his name was griffin. He slapped my drink out of my hand and then sat there like he owned the bar. Not coming back again, because of griffin

Excellent old bourbon old fashioned! Good atmosphere on the large patio, 2 large TV's, with food ordered in. Cigar smoker friendly, if that's your thing (it's mine).

Great spot with a nice patio, meet up with some out of town friends for drinks and cigars. Talked with the owner and he was cool. He even bought some pizza for his friends and let me grab a slice. Good spot if you want somewhere to grab a cigar, drink, and watch sports on the patio.

Totally sucks. Expensive for a none special bar.

Cozy dive bar. The service was great they also sell cigars

Attitude is not professional whatsoever why does a potential customer need to know how miserable you are. Hospitality comes first whether you love your job or are unsuccessfully trying to hide it. It shows very much and doesn't make me wanna go spend money over there.

Great little dive bar!

Smoke friendly establishment, they have a bar and sell cigars. Two coin operated pool tables. Cute patio. They don't have food.

Great porch but empty. Bong acceptance.

Great dive bar with a fantastic history

Nice little dive bar tucked back off Wilshire. The bartender was awesome. We had a bunch of laughs and enjoyed hanging out here for the evening.
