Just hands the beer still no apology for giving it so late. Worst part we had tipped $10 which we so regret. Never go here. Where is Jon Taffer to save this place.

I love this place…read more It's a stereotypical, little, Mexican watering hole. Until recently just a bar in the corner, a few tables and a bunch of folding chairs. On fight night they'll sometimes pull down the theater screen and show the fight but otherwise this is a pretty chill location. Everyone's friendly, there's never any drama. Beer only, out of bottles and cans, no hard stuff and no food. The most exciting thing that's happened here in years is that they put a built-in, bar height counter along the south wall, probably doubled their table space. Exciting news indeed.

Never coming here again…read more I went last night to catch up with a friend I hadn't seen in years and stepped outside for a moment to get some air because it was getting stuffy inside. The girl security was chill, the heftier guy must've not liked me or something because he was not trying to join the small talk I was making with the other security. I tell her I need to go inside and get my friend because we were leaving and the male security tells me there's "No Ins and Outs". I was literally going to go inside and get my friend and go. He doesn't let me. So then I spam my friend to let her know they're not letting me back inside. When she comes out I tell her my shoes are hurting and I take my heels off because we had to walk. He then accuses me of being messy drunk for being taking my heels off. Learn to read the room sir. We step away from the front and literally walk a few businesses over AWAY from the bar. This is how I know the security was looking for a problem. I tell my friend we don't have to worry about anyone messing with us on our walk because I have a tazer. I show it to her and press the button to let her know it works. The security guard leaves his post and walks towards us and tells me "now you have to leave because you're doing that" I was already leaving and he had no reason to walk towards me on the side walk he should have stayed at the front door. I wasn't even talking to him anymore. We were literally 2-3 businesses away. So I turned the tazer on and told him to leave, he approached us. There was no reason for him to walk up to us we already left. This man was looking for trouble. He needs to be fired. I was scared I was gonna have to use it if he got physical. Management should really look into that security guard because it makes me wonder how many patrons he actually messes with when he's on a machismo power trip. I am never coming back to this establishment again. You guys don't even deserve a star. How dare you allow your security to harass someone trying to leave. This man does not know how to diffuse situations properly. He needs to be fired. And then witnessing him trying to rewrite reality was truly disgusting. I'm so genuinely curious if he has history of getting physical with patrons. If he does, I'm certain he's not as innocent as he performs.

I'm a beer guy so I most def found it funny that beer on Draft or bottle are the same price. That doesn't make sense, but whatever i just go with draft. The place is small and dimmy but does the job. Def bring a +1 to stay entertained. Goodluck chit chatting though, they always have the music on so LOUD. I really don't get the hype nor like places with excessively loud music. It's so loud that even the bartenders can't hear a word your saying. It gets annoying having to repeat yourself and yell back. The pool tables are what really draw me back. I'm always able to catch a game, however some ppl do hog them and/or chit-chat instead of playing. I do like that they have several security guards, that does make me feel safe! Thank you. For the most part, I havent had any issues there or have seen anything pop off. But as someone else mentioned, the local are pretty cocky and snobby so just try to mind your own. Parking isn't the biggest but we always seem to get a spot. I have yet to find another bar in the area that is worth going to. Im the type to make the drive, but they are worth it when you wanna keep it local and stay safe! Thanks! Cheers

Me and the owner, who also does the sound, had almost the exact same interests and favorite bands. It was like meeting a new best friend. In addition, you can usually find street parking, and all the meters are broken so you don't even have to pay. LOL! There is a lot there that is cheap, too if you need to pay. There is a downstairs with a bar and upstairs is the other bar with the stage. The owner is a drummer in a band, just like my son, and thanks to that they have an amazing house kit and the guy does excellent sound. It's a small, comfy space. Drinks were outstanding. The owner and bartender make some amazing cocktails. The crowd was great for a Metal Monday night. Can't wait to have my boy play here again! Definitely a place worth checking out in Downtown LA! And follow the booker on IG - Blasphemy Made LA, as they do a bunch of shows here. It's a good chance if you like metal or punk or hardcore that you will catch a great up and coming band.

I came in on Wednesday evening with a work consultant to evaluate the venue for a potential company…read morebooking for an after-dinner gathering. We work two blocks away, and a bartender here had previously encouraged me to stop in and reserve a table if the space felt right. I was genuinely excited about the idea of hosting our event here and wanted to see how the space functioned in person. When we arrived, the only open seating was a larger table, so we sat there and ordered one drink each. While we were halfway through our first drinks, we were asked if we could move to make space for a ten-person group. We agreed, the group behind us offered to include us at their table, and the server offered a complimentary drink for the inconvenience. I asked if we could receive those drinks before relocating. About a minute later, a young woman who identified herself as the owner approached and told us she would cover our tab, but that we were being asked to leave. No clear explanation was given. Shortly after, another staff member stated that I was "intoxicated," even though we had not finished our first drinks, had been calm, and had already agreed to move. The interaction came across as unprofessional and left us feeling singled out and treated differently than other guests. Being asked to leave mid-drink over a seating adjustment we were willing to accommodate was especially disappointing, given that this visit was made with the intention of reserving space for our group. I later reviewed video of the interaction, and the sequence of events matched what I've described: we were on our first drinks, cooperative, and not disruptive prior to being asked to leave. I'm sharing this so management can understand how the situation appeared from someone who was sincerely looking forward to hosting an event here and supporting a local business nearby.
