“So I had a weird experience once, but ever since, this place has stepped up their game!! I come in just for Jess because she's awesome, and Mariah's customer service skills and bartending technique have vastly improved!! This place is exactly what you're looking for if you're into dive bars, like I am. Great sports on every tv, pool table with a bunch of regulars always happy to welcome you to the table, and an amazing sense of community. One off night shouldn't affect a Yelp score so I'm upping from a 3 to a 5! This place is great! Definitely stop in and say what's up to Jess and Mariah!!“
“This bar is one of the South Bays true hidden gems! From the awesome and friendly staff to the excellent beer selection they have nailed the essence of the South Bay neighborhood dive bar! The pool tables are in great shape and u can always get a game, the pinball machines are challenging and fun, and the crowd is always friendly and a good time. Pair that with the bartenders Joe, Gina, Justin, and Carlos (aka Los) and you have a great night waiting to happen. I stopped by after work to avoid the 405 almost a year ago and I keep coming back. Trust me if you like a cool place to chill and mellow out this is your spot! Come on by you wont regret it! Ill add some more pics soon.Parking: U can definitely find a spot close by.Wheelchair accessibility: Its a flat lot and you can roll on in and if you like you can definitely roll on out wheel chair or not!“
“So I was looking for a place that had karaoke near my friend's home since she doesn't have a car. I had never been here before, but am always open to trying new places. At first I wasn't sure what to expect, as many dive bars have a "members only" feel, but I was so impressed by how lovely, friendly, and happy everyone was! I have never in my entire life been treated so warmly by both bartenders and patrons as I was at the Eagle's Nest last night. Not only that--I frequent karaoke bars often, and the host and singers here were so kind and encouraging! Many other places take the karaoke too seriously and don't clap much for other people. Not here, though! Everyone claps, dances, and sings along, and everyone treats each other so nicely! It's just such good vibes all around and the KJ, Sammy, is awesome, too! Really great and charismatic host. They have karaoke every Wed-Saturday. Oh, and they have White Claw, which is such a bonus for me! I had such a blast here, and I will definitely be returning--probably regularly!! Thank you for providing such a fun and welcoming place to party, Eagle's Nest! My friends and I had so much fun!!!“
“As a Chicago transplant, I can’t say I miss sports bars. But I do miss the local neighborhood ones! Despite its almost punk rock aesthetic coupled with its pool table and arcade games, it’s incredibly welcoming and I only wish I lived closer to it to be one of its regulars there. You get people from all walks of life; which is sign of a great bar really.Simple and easy drinks with a solid happy hour what more could you want? Well how about some decent snacks? The food menu here is more than decent and so inexpensive; I come here just to have a Chicago dog more than I want a drink! I also love the they have two very popular tiki drinks as well!There’s plenty of room around; from chilling at the bar area, sitting in the spacious dining room, or standing at the high tops in the game room. (Won’t spoil the surprise, but there’s a very fun arcade game that everyone wants to win, that I’m sure so many have already seen).And if you love sports and miss our favorite home teams, I can’t think of anywhere else I’d want to watch them. That includes watching them at home.Vegetarian options: Vegan hot dogs!Parking: Long Blvd that had only 2 hours of parking until 6pm. Then you’re all gooooodWheelchair accessibility: Easy entry and table seating.“
“We sat on the patio with a few cocktails we ordered: From LA with Love (tall orange drink) and LA Adelita (Mocktail). They were fantastic!I especially like the ambiance of the bar. It is located in a trendy food stall in downtown Culver City with other ethnic food on the first floor and the bar and its patio on the second floor!“
“It’s a worthy dive bar with a frigging delicious hamburger. We went for the atmosphere having walked by on our vacation to Manhattan Beach and had to go back. If you love an authentic old bar and are happy with a great cheeseburger and chips and can overlook a sticky table and a bit scary bathroom situation, this is your spot. A breath of fresh air from our usual bougie eating in South Bay. Did I mention the burger was delicious??“
“Awesome place. We had a Ies meeting there in private dining and the food rocked and so did the service. The cheese cake was to die forvand they bring a giant piece in it's own whole cheese cake . Yum . I had brisket was so yummy . In this inflation prices were decent for amount of food. I had never been there before. But I hear it's well know and established for a long time. If yiu are looking for a place and never been there before yiu have to goParking was easy and plenty of it when I went“
“I can't say enough about the food and service! Everything was off the charts delicious starting with the appetizers and on to the steak platters for 2. Desert the Bomb too!! Thank you for a great birthday dinner experience absolutely delicious!“
“Polish girl checking in! Grew up with Polish food made by my mom and grandmother, and had a craving. SO happy to find this place. The food was incredible and authentic, the service was lovely, and the space is beautiful. Hidden gem in Santa Monica. I'll definitely be going back. Seems like a cool place just to hang out too, love the outdoor patio.Pro tip: If you're ever feeling under the weather, order their pickle soup! I've had it delivered twice while I was sick, and I swear it has cured me both times, lol. Ultimate comfort food. Might be my favorite soup in the world! Also love love love the bigos, and my non-Polish boyfriend loved it too! (His first true Polish food experience!)“
“Amazing restaurant with class and vibe. The food and drinks were so good. I would definitely come back here. In addition they have live jazz on Wednesdays and other nights. This is a a great place to come and chill. The chicken liver mousse is a must with some bread.Vegetarian options: Mushrooms were awesomeParking: Park in the back lot is free“
“We sat outside since you're RIGHT on the boardwalk from the patio. Here we could hear a street performer sing and people watch as we ate...which we loved! Our server was the sweetest and incredibly attentive. He made a GREAT espresso martini once we were done with mimosas. Our food came quickly and correctly and tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend for a quick-ish breakfast stop.“
“Great place for unique pizza at Gary's Woodfired Pizza in the food court. Unique pizza with Brooklyn soul and California ingredients. Music, outside seating, roof-top bar and dining, informal and fun. Ask for the 'white pizza' for something special.“
“Went back to back days because of the food was so good. The service was impeccable as well as the drinks. The lovely hostess was able to seat me despite it being super packed and I did not have a reservation. Definitely a revisit when in LA!“
“Anahi is A great bartender and waitress she makes sure you are well taken care of and keep asking if you need anything very kind sweet and generous. I had no problem with her. She is very excellent. I recommend everybody to come here Torrance thank you so much for your service“
“Dinner for 4 on a Thursday at 7pm. Small parking lot was full, we had to circle for street parking. No Valet. Busy inside. They only seat once the entire party is present. There were several groups waiting for their people, the entryway was crowded. It's loud inside, I later saw a warning from my phone! Food was tasty. Portion sizes good. La Jolla potatoes are kinda like scalloped potatoes. Sticky toffee pudding to share was great.“
“Hello once again. I have been coming to SOL for the past 3 years. And we always get to ask for CARLOS He is an amazing, outstanding serve. CARLOS goes above and beyond speciation. We will be coming back and tell friends about SOL CUCINA Glad we decided to come to SOL. thank you CARLOS. See you soon“
“I hosted my birthday at SoCal Vibes this past weekend and really can't say enough good things about the experience. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the staff (Aerin, Spencer, Emma, and Maya) were all so helpful and accommodating. It sounds like a cliche given the name, but the energy of the space and the employees is exactly what'd you hope for when you think of the phrase "SoCal Vibes."On top of all that, the cost for the birthday was less than half of what a few other comparable bar/restaurants in the Venice/SM area were quoting me. That's not a knock on the other places, SCV is just very reasonably priced if you're looking to host a large group. Highly recommend anyone reading this consider SoCal Vibes whether you're planning an event or just need somewhere to unwind on the west side.“
“Ambiance and flavors are top-notch! I recently "discovered" this local restaurant and was SO impressed. The outdoor dining patio is encapsulated from the street noise and the restaurant transports you to a feeling of fine dining without hurting your wallet. The food is so darn flavorful; you can't go wrong with just the shareable pizzas, but be sure to try the main dishes. My wife loves the Mango Chicken and I'm a fan of the Cancun Steak. For dessert, the coconut flan is fantastic, but I will knock over a small child to get more of the Apple Tart Tatin with its caramelized fruit in butter and sugar. The bar is also stocked with top-shelf spirits, and the mojitos are sweetened with actual sugar cane freshly crushed and squeezed right there at the bar. Whether its a date night, special occasion, or you just want to eat something delicious, this is the type of restaurant that is a local favorite and honestly, will becomes yours too.“
“I am glad to see this New Romantic and hip restaurant take over this spot. It is beautiful and great for groups. Staff is kind and helpful. Parking options include self paid parking as well as valet. If you want free parking you will have to walk quite a bit. Prices and portions are as expected. Everything was delicious including the pesto and Tierra Donna pasta, branzino, mushroom and margarita (not a margarita fan since the sauce is normally whatever and there isn't enough cheese but this one is my fav since it has a good amount of cheese and the tomato sauce is robust) pizza but my favorites include the eggplant parm (my favorite one as it was delicious without being a messy heavy dish), tortellini, arancini, and their sundae/ice cream. A great spot if you are a vegetarian. We got salads as well including the Caesar but in the future I would skip them to make more room for the other items.“
“Strong drinks, fast service and hot fries. What's to complain about? It's within walking distance from the beach, it's a total classic dive bar - old posters, jukebox songs and plenty of TVs playing sports. It's a bigger place than it looks like from the outside with back patio seating. Parking isn't easy but it's to be expected for the area.“
“The waitresses were super nice and friendly. There was a little bit of a wait, but it wasn’t very long. I am a pescatarian and I did not realize the clam chowder has bacon in it. So watch out pescatarians. The shrimp and cocktail sauce is amazing though.“
“I saw this place and thought it had a nice view from the street over to the ocean so I figured I would eat there. I honestly thought it would be a tourist trap type restaurant because of the location, however, it turned out to be amazing food. I ordered iced tea, which had a lovely and fresh taste to it, not like it came out of the can. Guacamole fresh salsa is fresh, and I ordered fried snapper fish tacos were excellent. The rice was also good, being very flick as opposed to just plain tasting rice. I was pleasantly surprised at the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“
“My daughters (4-7) were spellbound by the “inside / outside at the same time” space. And I absolutely loved the plant filled atmosphere. Food was above average too! The one hiccup was that we ordered a flavoured coffee flight & they were all iced! Wife said she knew, but I didn’t catch that they weren’t hot coffee. So people really like cold coffee?? (Wife loved them. I know I’m the weird one.)“
“I got there just before the dinner rush. The outside tables were filling up, and the bar was full. Great Service. The most amazing food. They gave complimentary homemade flour tortillas, butter, red salsa, and green avocado salsa. Wow best tortillas I ever had. Then finish off with the three most flavorful De Filet Mignon Tacos that just melted in my mouth. The meat is very tender, and the flavors are like a bite of heaven with every bite. JD the GM runs the place very well.“
“Great food, great service. What’s not to like? Is it popular, and thus a bit crowded at times? Yes. Comes with the territory. We had the garlic noodles and dumpling appetizer.I enjoyed watching the bartender making about 30 different types of drinks while we sat at the bar. Whoa! Was that a mini flame thrower? Artfully scorched cocktail, coming right up. The best part of the night was how patient the serve were with all my questions (wow, what’s that? x 5, asking about beautiful drinks being made).Highly recommend this spot.“
“Our server William was outstanding! First time dining at Canopy LA and the experience was friendly, beautiful, positive and fun. Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here and we will definitely be back. A special and warm thank you to our server for making our experience memorable and engaging. We can't wait to experience summer memories at Canopy LA. Thank you for the memory.“
“In the year 2000 I lived in front of Alibi Room, I met friends in the afternoon and we played pool, we ate and had a few drinks, we really had a great time, I have very good memories of that Bar. After a few years I returned to live in Argentina“
“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“
“Always consistently good food. Had the salmon and salad with brussel sprouts, and my friend had the grilled chicken sandwich. Seasoning was robust, but not too salty. Waitress was friendly, introduced herself, and had no problem with request for two checks for the table.“
“Amazing ambience feels like home. Staff is so friendly and patient. Pool tables. Karaoke. Cool music. Free snacks. Every NFL game. Kings hockey. Really just feels like my second living room at this point with all my friends! What a great local bar. Check it out!“
“The shrimp Po’Boys here are absolutely AMAZING! As well as the Jambalaya and tater salad. My wife and I just found this restaurant today and stopped in for a quick bite. We are both born and raised in New Orleans, so it’s always iffy when getting Louisiana foods in different states, but let me tell you WE WERE BLOWN AWAY at how amazing the food was! Actually we even think it’s better than a lot of places in the actual French quarter! The customer service is unmatched as well, the owner who is also from New Orleans was in and was so very kind, welcoming and really made us feel like family! Which is exactly what he said to us. It’s almost impossible to find anywhere that brings that kind of hospitality to the table, and this place is THE place to go for not only an amazing experience, but beautifully executed and flavorful food as well! Will be back again and again. Thank you Darrow’s New Orleans Grill!“
“Usually adult themed place since it took multiple calls to find out about "meet and greet" passes, the staff answering knew nothing... But we were there for a kid concert. Other then the 2nd opening act saying the F word every other second, the staff during the event, and the reason we were there was top notch. AJA was the girl who likes to swear in front of 10-16 year olds and get one fan supporting her (literally 6 women who woo-hoo'ed her and agreed with things she was talking about kids know nothing about). Gavin Magnus was great though!“
“The food here is really great, and they have a good selection of Wine, Beer, and Cider. The burgers are really good and a nice variety. I love getting the chips instead of the fries, trust me on this they are sooo good. The patio is so nice because you can sit outside and enjoy yourselves, and there's lots of space so it's a great place for groups. Parking is also easy in Downtown El Segundo, and the service here has always been top notch and very friendly,in true El Segundo fashion!“
“Food is consistent 90% of the time in all their locations.Nice ambiance and high ceiling. Can get a little noisy in here.I suggest doing the bomba style when ordering their pizza.I suggest ordering a plate in every category in the menu which you can share in a group of four or five people.I highly recommend reminding your server to serve any bread first. On my last visit it was served last and we were almost full with our first four plates.Plenty of parking spaces, availability is scarce.“
“Eating here was one of the highlights of the Trip! Gorgeous decor and well dressed serving people who were so friendly and fast ! Very authentic Mexican cuisine awaits you. We were pleasantly surprised at how reasonably priced the meals were ! We drove from Los Angeles to the restaurant and it was well worth the trip with the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean along the way. We were so glad to eat here.Parking: A safe , large paved parking lot free for customersKid-friendliness: Lots to eat here for children and service is so fast they will not get restless.“
“Great food, great atmosphere, great service!It is the "Cheers" of the South Bay!Definitely need to go by, have dinner and drinks!It also has an amazing Chocolate Stout which is out of this world! Don't miss out on the experience where everyone will know your name!“
“A truly hidden gem. Went with some friends while waiting for a dinner reservation, and were thrilled with our experience. The atmosphere is lovely, they have board games for patrons, and they had free snacks. Would make it my regular spot if I lived closer.“
“This place is the most happening place in Main st where one can chill and enjoy kombucha and get a buzz from the fermented drinks . They have selective non alcoholic kombucha as well .Purchased this kool mug as a souvenir ? #juneshine #hardkombucha #tastingroom #bar #santamonica #mainstreetsantamonica #ad #thumzup @juneshine_santamonica“
“Had a blast! The day before St Patty’s day so the vibes were high - live authentic Irish band, everyone in their green attire ? I truly enjoyed myself!Service was great… The waitress with the beautiful red curly hair… she wasn’t actually the waitress for my table but was still ever so helpful and kept checking on us- Thank you!!The food was delicious - I ordered the lamb stew and to drink I had something that tasted amazing and paired really well with the stew but can’t quite remember the name of it….All in all I had a great time!Parking: Parked in the garage behind the boba shop. Was there for about 2 hours and only had to pay $1 - No validation requiredKid-friendliness: Burger and fries for the win! And my kiddos were most definitely entertained by the live band.“
“Nice local place good food and drinks at a reasonable price. Great place to watch the games. The staff is very friendly. I had the Barbacoa Quesadilla that was very good. They have a private room for parties of business you can book. Great place to hangout and meet the locals.“
“Metamucil, Depends, Schlitz Malt Liquor, those are some of the things that come to mind when I think about an old man. This is a eclectic little speak easy that doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you (old man Neil young) Awesome bartenders who specialize in cocktails. Some boozy old fashioneds, and maybe the best whiskey sour I've had in years. If cocktails aren't your thing, you can ease into it with their reasonably priced boiler makers that get you a shot, and coors banquet. Love that they serve it in a can and not in a glass. What old man doesn't drink from a can.“
“First time here, but I'll be back! Inside is elegant and comfy with a full bar. Tried the jambalaya—amazing sausage! Opted for the po boy, delicious! Their IPA was refreshing. Harold and Belle's is a must-visit for locals and tourists!“
“Had a great experience. The hostess Gi Gi mad us feel very welcome and was the main reason we decided to give it a try. She was very confident about the menu and we ended up staying for a few hours. Good food, cocktails and overall vibe were perfect.“
“I'd eat the chicken tenders everyday if I lived here, they're like nothing I've ever had. Absolutely get a basket of these if you're here. The server Dragon (yes that's his name) is the best server I think ive had. He has an amazing personality. Being a 49ers fan helped too. Lol.“
“This club is amazing. It’s like being in your friends living room, or at a friends private party. The customers are real jazz aficionados, which makes for a very cool vibe. The service is laid-back so if you’re a New Yorker, you might be a little put off by the lack of hustle. But nonetheless, they are very attentive and friendly. It’s a great club. If you’re ever in LA I highly recommend going to this club if you love jazz. Hidden gem!“
“This place is a gem, I am so glad to have finally tried their food. There are lots of scrumptious options to choose from and right when I think I've made up my mind on what to get I spot the daily specials board. Mind you I did get in late for dinner so they were mostly sold out of their specials but I did not leave disappointed. The staff is friendly and very attentive, they make you feel like family. The chili is DELICIOUS! I loved it, I even took a pint of it home. Their poke is good, it was marinated with sesame oil and green onions. I also ordered a bento box and the somen salad and brocolli medley were the best parts. Overall a solid place to have a satisfying meal.“
“It is what it is. And this place IS !! I ain't been to a bar Ina long time...my best decision involving alcohol that I've made Ina while. Michelle tended bar..well. In addition she happened to be beautiful. This is your late 70's..80's type "dive bar". Music was loud and good. Prices were great. This place found me. Moved into new place last month and this wonderful throwback bar is 1 block away!! Can't wait to return.???3 thumbs up.“
“Always chill, even on occasion people are friendly and talkative. Can play pool or darts or other games. I like the decore, pennies under resin on the oak bar, bathrooms are nice since the refurbishing. Prime Pizza walking distance (a lil far but not bad). Park across the street. Coffee place I haven’t been to a few doors down that closes shortly after this place opens. Lazy Daisy breakfast location right next door. Street parking at meters, or park down in the neighborhood south on the cross streets, not far at all. Sometimes I park and jog at the park then stop here. Also I like the jukebox app they got going. There’s also back alley parking and entrance. They just started offering pretzel, dog, snacks, I used to have to go to grey block pizza, now prime pizza. There are other Mexican, fast food, and 7/11 joints nearer. There’s a Whole Foods less than a block away too.“
“This night the establishment was really quiet, and although it wasn't as bustling, we attribute that to the rainy weather. Nonetheless, we were pleased with the quality of the food, and the $7.99 micheladas were particularly enjoyable. Furthermore, the service provided was exceptional.“
“This place is rad! What a cool bar to check out. The vibe was very chill for a mid week after work drink. They have pinballl which I will go back for, a pool table and different seating areas. The beer was kinda pricey but the wine was reasonable - and a healthy pour! Will return for sure.“
