The place to watch the Seahawks! There's free halftime shots and have a good MC situation there to get the fans going. There's also a chicken wing special on kickoff. Go Hawks! read more

Smashburgers all the craze these days but was feeling like a good old fashioned hearty burger. LA prices continue to sting going out to dinner, but we found a gem. We've been here over the years for all their various sports/karaoke/happy hour events And they are open every day of the year and kitchen open until midnight... But it was Monday night and they have a $7 burger on Mondays!! Pretty sizable burger plus a side was definitely more than enough food for dinner It's nothing fancy, but it's solid and hit the spot we were looking for. Fast and friendly service made the night even better 2 people dinner and 2 non-alcoholic drinks for under $20!! There is plenty of street parking on Culver for Monday night read more

Backstage Bar & Grill - Karaoke Near Me - Culver City, California

Backstage Bar & Grill is the most fun I've had at a bar watching a sporting event ever!! It's a well known southern California Seahawks bar, and has been for decades!! What a great spot to feel inclusive and welcomed. Everyone is truly having a great time! Though I've seen other fans show up, most have been cool with us, cheering for their respective team... but every once in a while there are some rival team trolls that show up and try to take over the bar... No one likes trolls, but we do our best to treat them fairly, even if they are rude and confrontational. The Backstage bar truly loves the Seahawks fans! GO HAWKS!!! read more

This place was perfect for a rainy, chilly Saturday afternoon. We arrived just before 3 p.m., when there were only a few people inside, but by the time we left nearly every table was filled. The atmosphere is dark, cozy, and inviting, with warm lighting, candlelit tables, and a classic pub vibe. There's plenty of seating, including high-tops and comfortable banquette seating, and they even have a cozy fireplace that adds to the charm. Multiple TVs are scattered throughout, making it a great spot to settle in and linger. We ordered at the bar--water, Chardonnay, a vegan Beyond Burger, garlic fries, and chips and salsa. My husband ordered a sandwich and a Coke. The food took a little while, especially considering no one else seemed to be eating at the time, but we didn't mind at all. We relaxed, sipped our drinks, and watched ice speed skating on one of the TVs. Once the food arrived, it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything tasted freshly made, including the perfectly crispy chips. The garlic fries were delicious, and my vegan burger was light yet filling. We ordered another round of drinks, and by then the place was hopping. Huge kudos to the bartender, who was essentially running a one-man show--taking orders, making drinks, and delivering food--all without looking frazzled and always with a smile. I was genuinely surprised he was handling the entire crowd on his own, especially since the place was nearly packed by 3:30 p.m. Parking was easy; we found a spot just around the corner. We'll definitely be back! read more

Honestly, I'm surprised I hadn't been here sooner dive bars are usually my go to. I met up with a friend and we ended up having a great time. It was definitely busy for a Thursday, but when we asked the doorman, he said we had walked in on karaoke night and a few birthday celebrations, so the crowd made sense. Despite that, the ambiance was still solid and comfortable. Parking was easy to find, although the surrounding neighborhood requires permits, there were plenty of open meters nearby. The staff was friendly and attentive, and ordering at the bar was straightforward. We grabbed our number, and the food came out quickly along with our drinks. Overall, a fun, lively spot that I'd happily come back t read more

Stopped by on Friday, 06/28/25 to meet with my old coworkers - catching up!!! PARKING: Can be a bit tricky, so read the signs (street parking) AMBIANCE: Upon entering the place was extremely dark and dim, so it will take time for your eyes to adjust to the environment. A bit small but a great place to mingle and chat. FOOD AND DRINKS: We ordered drinks. I personally ordered 2 drinks: 1 Island Margarita and 1 Watermelon Margarita. We ordered appetizers and shared: - 1 backstage garlic fries - 1 guac and chips - 1 cheese quesadilla - 1 chicken skewers with thai peanut dipping sauce RESTROOMS: Only one stall for women. read more

Racist. Incompetent. Unsanitary. The "men" at the door warned us that there is vomit on the restroom toilets & floors. Additionally, they refused us entry after providing valid, unexpired government identification cards. They required passports in addition to our driver's licenses . This place doesn't deserve a single star. Based on the conversations from passing customers as they exited the establishment, you can sum it up as "I guess its just too bad" lol. With so many good places in DT Culver, this bar is a waste of time. Hope this helps some yelpers. read more

Went for a former coworker's retirement party. I thought it was going to be open bar, but for the price of the drinks it made sense she made guests buy their own drinks and food. The cocktail was about $14. Pretty strong drink, glad I only got one. I wasn't that interested in the food on the menu. Just looked like basic bar food. But the service was good and the ambience was great. Kind of dark, but work a giant tv screen for the sports junkies, which I am not. Honestly don't think I'll come back as I am not really a bar hopper. read more

Booked my birthday party here (for free by the way which is unheard of in LA) and had the absolute best time! The servers were soooo nice, above and beyond! I wish I remembered their names to shout them out but if you just did the birthday party for Nikki, know that you were the best! 10/10 recommend and get the onion rings! read more

I went to my friend's bday here and it was so fun so i wanted to have mine here too. I emailed them twice and called them all for them to never get back to me about having a reservation. Rude! When i called them the woman i spoke to basically said the person who does the reservations are best reached from that email. I gave her my info over the phone and i asked if they would get back to me tonight since it was the day before my reservation was supposed to be and she said she "hopes so". I emailed them again just to make sure and included a number to reach me and still never heard back. I asked my friend how she got the reservation when it was her birthday and she said even though she emailed them 2 weeks prior to her birthday, they didn't confirm until the day of! read more

This is my second time coming to this karaoke bar, and it's been a blast every single visit. The song selection is great, and the overall environment is so much fun. I love watching other people sing karaoke while jumping in myself. The staff is super friendly and brings great energy. The drinks are always good, and overall it's a great spot for a birthday celebration or a girls' night out. read more

Been watching Seahawk games here for 13 years and the staff has always been the absolute best. Cedric who started it in 2005 is a fantastic host with his booming voice who gets the fans hyped up and ready for kick off while DJ Sonny plays the best song selection for everyone to join in singing, dancing and cheering the Hawks to victory. The food is pretty darn tasty!! Fun times with fun 12's! Go Hawks!! read more

Backstage Bar & Grill - Fried Pickles and Lavender Lemonade - Karaoke Near Me - Culver City, California

Mostly good. My husband and I were in California for just the weekend and we wanted to hit up karaoke. One of the locals recommended it. It's a popular place! That means parking in the lot OR on the street on a Saturday night was impossible. A wasted drive; we returned to the hotel. We went back again on Sunday night. Still full parking lot! This time we found something semi legal on the street, though. The bar is nice, and I had some delicious mac and cheese! We waited excitedly for karaoke. The bartender/server told me we could come up for karaoke slips when we buy our drinks. Yup, you earn slips by drinking! Controlled substances, those! Ironically, I don't drink alcohol so I had to convince them to give me slips anyway since I had bought food and some cran/soda/lime. He obliged. It was a relatively quiet night, so we were allowed more slips and we sang four times. The patrons were wonderful. A guy named Evan sang Rooster by Alice In Chains and I had to praise him for doing it justice, and tell him I was in town from Seattle. He perked up! What ensued between him and his friends was a Seattle Alt Rock themed night. It was great fun. Giving four stars because I think making people drink to get a slip is kinda weird and encourages overdrinking. The parking situation sucks, but they can't control that. Thanks, Evan and everyone there! read more

I love this cozy nook. This is a place you can visit alone and have so much fun. The pool table and juke box are all the company you need. The staff know what they are doing and make you want to come back. I even went to karaoke by myself one night in another lifetime and performed like the cracked nut I am. I love this bar more than any I have ever visited anywhere. It's so cool. The food is awesome and affordable, and the most interesting people can always come through. A great place to bring out-of-town guests. read more

Fun place for an inexpensive drink, happy hour or to dance or listen to karaoke since I'm not brave enough to sing hahaha. Great service from the cocktail waitresses. Lost one star bc I've never had them pick up the phone to order food for pickup and I don't call during business hours! Yes I live down the street but I don't want to sit and wait, pick up the phone please !! read more

Stopped in for some cheap drinks and eats after a hike at Kenneth Hahn park. A true local dive, located right across from Sony studios. When we entered the nondescript door, it was love at first sight. Dimly lit and soaked in red light, wood paneling, neon signs, bar stools and a photo booth. Fun retro vibes all around. The bartender working was friendly and personable. They offer beers, ciders, and cocktails. We enjoyed a beer, cider and happy hour mac and cheese and it all hit the spot. It wasn't busy since it was earlier in the afternoon but I know they can get busy during special events. Well loved for their karaoke nights. Street parking all around. Come check it out if you're looking for a dive bar that offers a good time! read more

Fun for this Seattle Seahawks fan. :) The bar food not bad either. They make gameday lots of fun.

This place has great food, friendly staff, and karaoke patrons are supportive with varied taste (it's super busy so don't plan on singing much). If you have a party, they reserve space for no fee, serve party shots, and even hold non-refrigerated cakes for you. So accommodating and passes the vibe check. Love love love this place. read more

I was waiting in line in the rain, I saw a few people in front of me were not able to get in due to clear racism. Once I got to the front ; I too experienced this. My boyfriend is black and they did not let us in, but let 9 white people in behind us. I was looking forward to seeing this Seahawks , but this establishment is next level racist and please boycott immediately. Ps they hate hate if you're wearing niners gear. read more

This bar located right across the street from Sony Studios was awesome! Great happy hour, and chill vibe. I didn't do the popular karaoke, but plan to come back! We got the tacos, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and chicken fingers with fries. Total bar food, but good nonetheless. Drinks were strong, but delicious! Great place to hang out. Quiet mid-week, but probably pretty busy come the weekend. Enjoy! read more

Backstage Bar & Grill is the place to catch all Seahawks games. They have an awesome DJ on game day and give out free halftime Seahawks shots. This place always has a good vibe and great service. There is no cover charge and they have a great happy hour 7 days a week from 4pm-8pm. The Backstage also has a great Karaoke and takes party reservations. You can always find parking on Culver Blvd. Don't park on the residential streets, they're all permit parking only. The bar is directly across from Sony Studios. Go Hawks!!! read more

I went in for a quick Karaoke stint and was amazed how great this place is. I had ordered some Chicken Nachos and was entertained by all the Music talent of the people dining karaoke. Nice sized bar and plenty of seating. Friendly Bartenders and attentive Servers made it easy to order food and drinks. Even the Bouncers and doormen security were very friendly. If you need parking , there are a few spots down the street and easy walking distance. Other than being an "Seahawks nest" during Football season, it is an ideal place to catch a Game or belt out some tunes via karaoke. read more
