Casey's Tavern - St Patty's Day themed coors light coasters. All bottles. Nothing on tap. Still cold and tasty - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Canoga Park, California

Weird service, weird rules, weird bar. Would not come back. Bartender was strange. He let us know they do not have a menu. No worries. We ordered basic drinks, he let us know they are cash only. Ok, fine no worries I will use the ATM. Turns out ATM is out of service. No worries we will use an ATM next door. Also there are rules-- ie no cussing ..???? LOL no worries I'll go somewhere else read more

This was my first time at Casey's; I was accompanied by someone who had been here many times and raved about their Thursday nights. Here are my thoughts on why I enjoyed it so much (even though at first, I thought that jazz clubs weren't for me): Casey's has deep cultural roots that you can see and feel in every corner. It's small and cozy, making the music feel personal and immersive. In a city of modern bars and clubs, an old jazz club stands out as a unique, memorable experience that can't be easily replicated. I loved the dim lighting and the old-school charm that creates such a unique atmosphere. The crows are very diverse; I saw couples, singles, groups, etc. In a fast-paced city like Los Angeles, an old jazz club offers escapism from the strong neon lights, large digital screens, and constant noise. It's a place to slow down and enjoy the moment. read more

The food seems to be mostly snacks from what I could tell. The service, especially from Arvie, is top-notch--he's a total class act and a true professional. He's a regular presence here and clearly loved by the locals. The ambiance? It feels like stepping into a whole different era--maybe the '80s? I love it, especially as an '80s baby myself! And last but definitely not least--the drink prices are absolutely unmatched. Y'all need to come check this place out. Don't let anything stop you! read more

The old things still matter. Like jazz and conversation, a good whisky pour and a cheeky bartender. It's how things were - and how they still are at Casey's. Our party of 6 grabbed a high table by the bar. We lit up some shots and brought over some pizza from next door. It's all good. The jazz kicked off at 8 and sounded old school cool with shades of bebop, latin jazz and some funk. To sit here on a night like this - knowing this is how they rolled 60 years ago - and it's still relevant and badass, is heartwarming. 5 star hang, across the board. read more

Decent place, except they have a low classed bartender that tries to run a pool tournament. He pays the winner with red chips worth $10, but if you want to buy a $5 beer (white chip), he doesnt have the common sense to give a $5 white chip in return. He told me to leave and to not come back. He claimed he did not like my attitude. I think he was unhappy that I was winning the tournament too much. He actually did me a favor, because after telling everyone I know about the incident, I realized that this place is really very similar to deaths waiting room for old people. read more

Amazing ! Honestly guys I had no idea there is a life in Woodland Hills. The jazz band is a top! Love this small local bar. Very lovely hidden jem! read more

My first time at Casey's Tavern and I had a very good time. We came here because we wanted to go to another bar who had a full bar and Cassie is the place for a full bar with everything you need and a nice live band playing. Came here on a Sunday evening around six and that's what time the jazz starts and they play music from Louisiana with a very nice Louisiana theme inside . The population is its considered majority of elderly, but it is welcoming for everyone and anyone literally have a good time here. The customer service was exceptional and attentive, and everyone had a good positive attitude inside. The bar tender made us a good green tea shot one of the best that I ever had, and it was a good vibe to finish it off well with some good music in the background. They do not have food here but they do have snacks. I did not inquire of what particular snacks but I do know that they have snacks but if you want I recommend eating before and definitely grab a drink here cause you would not be disappointed the bartenders know what they're doing . On that note, I highly recommend here if you want to have a good time and this is a really good live jazz band and a good atmosphere . The place is not too modern, but it is very spacious inside, with a lot of seating and it is spacious with enough bar seating. The prices are super reasonable as well too. We ordered three drinks, and it was only 25 bucks. There's plenty of free parking that is metered! -Marshay D. read more

Casey's Tavern - Live Jazz - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Canoga Park, California

I've been here once before and plan on going back. They have a pool table and TVs, along with people that enjoy their drinks.

We stopped in for two drinks while waiting for another restaurant to open since we were hungry. One employee was extremely kind and welcoming, but once he left, the bartender with long white hair abruptly told us we had to "wrap it up." We were not loud, disrespectful, or causing any issues. The atmosphere clearly catered to an older crowd, and it felt like we weren't welcome simply because we didn't fit that vibe. We all work in the medical field and were just trying to relax with a drink and eventually eat. Unfortunately, the experience left us feeling uncomfortable and singled out. We won't be returning. read more

Anton was the best bartender I have ever had in my life. He was so welcoming and made me the best drink. I will 100% be back here just for him!!! read more

I don't live anywhere near Casey's but I will occasionally make a special trip on a Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday to hear some of the best, old time jazzers in the area. There aren't many places left where you can go for live music with no cover, no minimum. It's really only necessary when you don't know who you're hearing but these guys are amazing. It's got a divey feel but in a classier way. Great prices, friendly crowd and bartenders. Sometimes there's food available from Pete's Meats or other vendors. There's parking in the back but it's very tight. You can usually find a spot on the street at meters which are free later at night. Cash only so bring enough for your drinks and to tip the bartender and band! read more

We were looking for a live Jazz music place and found this hidden gem in Woodland Hills just under our nose , the ambience is wonderful people super nice bartenders Danny and Kirk served us wonderful drinks with a great service and wonderful smile. They play every Tuesday., Thursday and Saturday so if you like jazz and a good drink, that's the place to be you can bring your own food from next-door if you like. read more

Very expensive - drinks that were once $12 are now $22 but the exact same place no updated atmosphere. I am surprised and disappointed by the change. The service is okay but nothing special. Would probably not come back since it's cash only and prices that would be comparable to a high end restaurant like Fleming or Ruth's Chris. This is our last time at Casey's since it's just not as in line with the common person as it used to be. read more

Came out to the area to run some errands and decided to find a place to get a quick drink before heading home. I'd like to preface with, this was at 1pm on a weekday. Not busy or hectic at all. As soon as we walked in we were scanned (up and down) by the bartender. Immediately felt uncomfortable. He approached us to check I.D., of course, then proceeded to rush us to make an order without offering time or a menu or a suggestion. I hurried and blurted out a random drink. My friend was unsure about what to get and was beginning to panic due to the pressure we felt from the bartender. He then said "well you have to order something. A bottle of water??? IT'S ONLY A DOLLAR". Embarrassing us in front of everyone else at the bar. He then proceeded to say that if my friend didn't order anything, he had to leave. Even though he was with me and I had in fact ordered a drink. He said he cannot "hang out in there" without making a purchase. Which, maybe that's the rule there, but the way he said it was extremely rude and unprofessional. When he dropped off my drink, we pulled out our card and he yells across the bar "cash only". One of the other customers felt bad at that point and kindly suggested we use the ATM across the way. This was a terrible experience. I genuinely was persuaded by the great Yelp reviews but was met with nothing but disappointment. I will definitely tell everyone I know about my experience at Casey's. read more

It's a dive bar but I got more Elks Lodge and American Legion vibes due to the primary demographic. It's cool for Boomers to have a spot. The cool artwork and ancient furniture fit the place. I've seen newer stuff along dirt roads and the Mississippi River...definitely didn't expect Canoga Park to have retired or emeritus Good 'ol Boys. There was some live jazz playing and it was Old Dixie style. Not really my thing. We were politely told to keep it down while talking during the show--I forgot I was a bar lol. They had some distinct rituals of yesteryear. Patrons and Staff were cordial. I felt safe, comfortable, and welcomed. The patronage rules were kind of funny. They might as well just say who they don't want to come inside because it would make them uncomfortable to see a man with a sleeveless shirt or backwards ball cap lol Being inclusive to all walks of life creates a more intimate connections over beer and sports. The simple rules were posted by the ladies room. I would have preferred to read signs about kindness, understanding, compassion, responsible public discourse (refrain from politics, religion, and gender bashing) rather than being the dress code police--comes off judgmental for a dive bar...but it's ran by Boomers who know what's best for the world --look what they've left us lol I digressed-- public decorum and decency surrounding attitudes and treating others how you'd want to treated would be more appropriate. The bathroom had a nursing room odor but I'm not judging. Perhaps, they could clean the brown tile walls or install an automatic air freshener. Parking was easy. Meters are free on Sunday. My wine was terrible. I want to flush it down the drain but I didn't want to reenter the ladies room. I don't think there's any food service. But I did see outside food being enjoyed by other patrons. read more

There is an Asian waiter at the bar and he's very rude. He was rude to myself when I asked for water I asked for water first and he said I had a good assuming that I wasn't gonna get a drink, but I needed water first, and he was rude to my friend when she asked for a drink and water so whoever owns Casey's, please take note that we're not happy with that waiter. He was horrible to us and we go there all the time. read more

A fantastic, old school bar on Sherman Way in old Canoga Park, Casey's is cash only, old school courteous and very friendly with a No Cursing policy that is enforced and enjoyed by a friendly crowd. Customers tend to be middle-aged or more, enjoying good prices on drinks, a few beers to choose from and a couple of wines. Most importantly, Casey's hosts live jazz several nights a week. No cover but don't forget extra cash to tip the band and you will want to! There's a very small parking lot in the back alley, but the best parking is right along Sherman Way. read more

I went to Casey's Tavern on my 21st birthday to celebrate with my girlfriend. There was a jazz band playing that night and I believe they always have live music on Tuesday's and Thursday's. Bartender was responsive and made good drinks. Good selection of beer too. Fun place to be and it has a warm, old timey atmosphere. Check it out if you like cheap drinks and live jazz. Just be careful about swearing. read more

Casey's Tavern - Local jazz band - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Canoga Park, California

I walked in and needed to use the restroom. I went to the urinal and was greeted with the lights being turned off on me. The bartender said "bathroom is for customers only." I immediately walked out. Keep in mind this is no fault of the staff. If this is the standard of the establishment then so be it. I did not wish to spend my money with a business that did not permit me to use their facilities to relieve myself. I respect the staff, but if this is the standard of the establishment then I am happy that I did not spend my money there. read more

Sunday evening was a fun time to visit and hear a small group play New Orleans type jazz -- piano, drums, clarinet, horn, etc. The atmosphere was friendly and our large group had fun tapping our toes, talking, and haveing a few drinks.

This is a cash bar the last time I went there it's old school registers make this tavern very cool but the architecture is amazing like old tavern meets old I love it!

The spot is pretty cool and make wonderful drinks shot out to the bartenders! read more

I love this place, BUT one of the bartenders called me Chismoné. The name is pronounced like "Cheesemoné" just like how it's spelled. But he kept saying it like "Chiz" moné. I let it go the first couple of times, but then I think he was just making fun of my unique name. Other than that, I really enjoyed the overall vibe. Maybe if it was another bartender, I would've given this place 5 stars, but only time will tell!. This meme is very telling of this particular bartender. Some may think it's harsh, but it's just an observation. I know he means well, but maybe next time. read more

Visiting this establishment provides an enjoyable experience, although it can be somewhat disconcerting when the bartender exudes an egoistic demeanor onto clients . Oftentimes, these bar attendants possess a tendency to form individual judgments about each patron they serve. If this is not the case, it may lead to significant issues in the quality of service provided.please be wary on encounters read more

If you're like me, you don't have any white older family with wood paneled homes and old timey rules but luckily for you, this experience can be lived by going to Casey's. It makes me nostalgic for a family I do not have and a place I have never been while somehow being cozy, friendly and always fun. The regulars are welcoming and hilarious and the bartenders are the absolute best and kindest. They have live jazz there a couple nights a week and it is the most fun I've had listening live music in forever. The crowd is a little older and the rules are wild. It's cash ONLY, you can't wear tank tops, you can't curse and there are other rules regarding colors and hats that I didn't pay attention to because I was too busy mourning cursing and tank tops. I could not be more charmed by this place and I think you will be too. read more

Great bar! Stopped by last week, nice staff and affordable drinks. Will be back again

A proper good place with excellent service and thoughtful social rules thoroughly yet gently enforced. Excited to go again.

Caseys is a cool spot. Seem like they like who they like in there and if you are not who they like you kind of feel a little weird. Feels like a cult in there. However older crowd and they will tell you to leave even if you are just minding your business. Not for me. read more

We went into Casey's to get a drink , it was my son's 21st birthday. My son has a Service Animal (dog) who is highly trained. We were told to leave the bar and told we would not be served as dog's are not allowed. We tried to explain that he is a service animal and it is against ADA law to refuse to serve us. The bar tender didn't care and told us to leave. Mr. Casey don't try to lie we have the discrimination on video. read more

Classy neighborhood joint, reminiscent of those good ol' days I wish I could have experienced first-hand. This bar brings back that classic nostalgia one would hope for - rich with history, family-owned, friendly folks, cheap drinks, heavy pours, good music, and manners are enforced (no cursing or foul language!). Swearing will get you 86'd. Cash only. Low-lit ambiance with pool tables and wood-paneled surroundings. Perfect dive bar for a date night (with a delicious pizzeria next store). Truly one of the best watering holes in the valley! read more
