I was on a Date night and had two hours before our movie time, so I yelped Bars in the area and came across Instant Replay the reviews were what made me choose this place. I am so happy I found this AWESOME Bar! The drinks are inexpensive and poured very generously. I was very impressed with both the Bartenders working that night Eric and a blond lady( didn't get her name) both were very nice and attentive, the atmosphere was great the music was very good and I was able to play music of my choice as well. Eric gave us two drink chips which we will use on our next visit. I think I found a new favorite Bar. Thank you so much for making our experience so unforgettable. read more

Instant Replay - a group of people posing for a picture - Dive Bars Near Me - Canoga Park, California

IR simply put, is great local dive. Good crowd, good people working there and easy on the wallet. Stop by and enjoy!!! read more

My friend watches football here during the season on Sunday's and decided to meet up with him there. Anthony was a great bartender and makes the place feel like a divey bar in New York. The bar has 5 TV's and the best spot to sit is towards the back where there are 3 TV's. You get more of the sports crowd on Sunday's, but on the evenings, I heard it was more casual with patrons looking for a drink after work. The regulars are definitely here and are easy to talk with. Taco Reyes is next door so go next door, grab some food and tell them to deliver it to Instant Replay. read more

Extremely rude bartenders no personal skills they should cater to their customers more also not hire old female bartenders that belong at at other places read more

This place is pretty decent. I don't really mind coming here. Drinks are of average price but good selection. Crowd is varied. Depends on the night I guess. Free popcorn sometimes eyyy. read more

Really great dive bar! Came here on a Sunday night by myself to just chill out and have a beer, the place is very clean and the regulars are all very friendly, bartenders are also very friendly and didn't mind keep conversations. Really relaxed atmosphere and good place to be, good people great beer at a great price, I'll be coming back here often, and thanks to the owner James for being very attentive on yelp when I asked him about his place, if anyone has questions about this place i suggest messaging him. read more

Instant Replay - First time here and the owner was awesome enough to leave a first timer 2 free drinks! - Dive Bars Near Me - Canoga Park, California

Disappointed how they handled the treatment of my friend . He had an expired Id and had an extra one . The owner older man harassed my friend about how he can't serve him . Then he approached our table when I bought myself a drink . Saying my friend can't be there . We obliged and left but the treatment and embarrassment that he gave to us was wrong . Come on my friend had extra Id . Good luck god bless will go somewhere else next time read more

Beware...I love my dive bars.. but this place seemed cool at first..as long as you don't dance or have any fun with your friends you will be welcome to be there.. prices suck too read more

Tonight me and my girl friend were looking for a good place for spending time in and went to couple of places and none of them were good and finaly find this one and enjoy a lot. read more

Drug dealers paradise! Yes Friday and Saturday night can be scary. Better during the day when a talkative middle aged crowd of regulars rule the roost. They still smoke there and play lots of Lottery games. Drink prices are typical; not cheap but not overpriced. AC works well in this overheated part of the Valley. read more

AWESOME! This place is just plain fantastic. The owners are great. The staff, of whom I have met, are really nice. Great pours and great selection of drafts. This is the way a bar should be run. Excellent!!!! Will be visiting whenever I get a chance. read more

Came here on a random Friday night for the first time. Not my type of crowd or atmosphere but overall the bartenders were very nice and the prices were pretty reasonable and because of that I would come back. read more

Random cut-offs, grumpy regulars, and bad attitude from certain staff members took Instant Replay off my list. I have a feeling that unless you are one of the regulars who show up every day and drink your usual 3 beers, then they don't have much use for you. Considering that the cushion running along the bar is patched with yards of black duct tape, you might think they would appreciate a bit more business... read more

When I moved to Canoga Park I was happy to find a bar in walking distance from my house and at first I thought this was a really cool place. I'm sorry to say that I have changed my mind. Weirdly enough this dive is way too uptight for me. I'll move my business somewhere else! read more

I have recently been brought to this bar because one it's close, and two my friends come here. It's a fun time here. Smaller bar but jukebox, staff, people and vibes are what keeps me coming back. Fun spot to stop into for a Friday or Saturday night. read more

Best craft beer bar in the valley with out the over price pints and the tap list is always solid.

Located on the corner of saticoy and topanga.....its .... (drum roll please)....INSTANT REPLAY !!! Used to be called the RETAKE ROOM. Maybe about 5 parking space in the front, but a whole bunch of parking to the rear. Hole in the wall kinda place, a wannabe sports bar, unless you consider drinking as a sport, then this place qualifies. Hardcore regulars in here will give you glaring stares until you get to know them. This may take up to one year. I go to this place every so often, and now i am familiar with the locals. Drink prices are average, beers 3 bux, well, 4bux, call 'em 5 bux (more for top shelf likka). Bartenders are friendly and nice, but (sorry to say) not too hot looking. Dosent matter anyways, neither am I...haha!! A bunch of T.V.'s in here, electronic darts, and pinball. Why a rating of 4 then? Well, i'll tell you........INTERNET JUKEBOX....HELL YESSSS!!! I get to make to local yokals listen to SLAYER, IRON MAIDEN, DEAD KENNEDYS, and a bunch of other annoying music that i love. Beware though, the locals will try to get the bartender to turn down / off the music and give you a refund.....WTF?? Bring a few friends to threaten the haters, and MOSH IT UP!!! read more

Love this place! Craft beers on tap and shit in bottles. They have board games and darts. They also have awesome Tacos Reys next door. They even deliver to the bar too. Bombay. Best part it's walking distance of home for me. :) read more

Pretty dope place. Wide beer selection and all different types of people.

My first time at this place. Our bartender Shiree served up good drinks w a smile to remember. We will definitely be back. Cool neighborhood bar. Liked the vibe. read more

So. I came here 2 weeks ago for the first time and it was dead! But the bartender was super cool and I ended up staying all night. It was her last week and she had regulars coming in to see her. Best draft beers in town. Didn't eat at the taco truck. Didn't bring cash with me. Check it out if your local or in the area. Well worth your trip. I came back a second time this past Monday and it was super crowded!! I guess it is hit or miss here. This is a really chill spot to go and enjoy some great beer. Worth a shot. read more

Decent place to watch football...they've got a lot a good beers on tap and happy hour every afternoon! The bartender on Sunday morning/afternoon is a character. I went in the Sunday before football started to check it out and he was super nice...but when I came back yesterday, just two weeks later, he was a total dick! Whatever tho, all the games were on and the beer was good, cold and inexpensive...so I'll probably be back despite him. read more

I am a huge fan of this bar! The beers are excellent at very very reasonable prices. There is no food served (other than popcorn), but you can order Mexican food next door and they'll deliver it to you, no problem. The staff really know their beers and are very friendly. Unpretentious place to hang out with friends. Also, parking is no problem. read more

EXTREMELY strong cocktails but that's not a complaint. They are very cheap. My type of place they've got a digital jukebox AND you can bring in your tacos from tacos Reyes. Yassss. All the bartenders are super friendly and it's easy to find a place to sit. Win. read more

Quiet, nice service, double shots for the cost of a single. How could this not be 5 stars?

They seriously have the BEST craft beer selection for the BEST price! Nice booths to sit in , and TV on all sorts of stuff, it is great! Can get bomb tacos next door! read more

I love this little dive bar. I love that they carry craft beer on tap. NO CRAP ON TAP. The staff here is awesome especially Marci!! The staff take care of you... look out for you. When Taco Reyes is open, you can bring your food in here, which I like because it's good authentic Mexican food. Come by for a drink or a beer if you're in the area. Cheers!!! read more

dark and smokey bar, good for drinkin' and relaxin'. all the sports are on TV. a shot of whiskey at $6.75 seems a little high for this type of atmosphere. Bartenders are nice. read more

Awesome place to hang out on a weekday. Cheap drinks, chill atmosphere and some cool people. I just wish they had some more healthy options on the menu, but hey it's a bar... I will definitely be coming back sometime again next week. Also helps that the bar tenders are super friendly. Good job! read more

Called, nobody answered. Then called again to see if they were going to show a UFC fight. They said no what kinda sports bar is that?!

Great hole in the wall bar to grab cheap drinks with friends when you don't feel like going to a place that's all about who's who and who's wearing what etc. bartenders are very friendly and have lots of parking. They have a deal with the taco store next door so they always have tacos and let you eat them in the bar. read more

Got blamed for pissing on the floor in the women's bathroom by the owner (blonde lady) in front of everybody, she was screaming at my group I came with. We're all bouncers at a night club and would never do such a thing. ( we prevent that from happening every weekend) such a joke. Place is so dirty Inside it was probably piss from a month ago. read more

This place is amazing! KC, Eric, and Marcy are all wonderfully skilled bartenders. They're really friendly and it's always a good time here. It's so clean and their playlist is really enjoyable. read more

The bar is ok. They have about 10 craft beers on tap, which is great. I don't know I guess I was expecting the staff to be a little bit more welcoming than the experience we had. We love to talk about beer and didn't seem like the bartender had any interest in talking to us newbies. That's ok...we enjoyed our beer and even had some tasty tacos next door. read more

Best local bar in the valley. Great priced strong drinks, great friendly service, they make you feel like family. Nice chill vibe, great to just have a drink and unwind from a long day. Oh and there free popcorn at times so that's just an added benefit. read more

Was exactly the kind of bar I was looking for....! Hey James (owner-bartender), if you're reading this... thank you for making me feel so comfortable and at home on my first night as a newbie! See ya again soon. read more

This is a fun little spot, stuck somewhere between Dive bar and Sportsbar, a light and friendly attitude was the first thing I noticed when I walked in. I found a seat and a cocktail/beer menu and started a conversation with the locals gathered at one end. Everybody (including James behind the bar) seemed genuinely cool and had a good attitude. Drinks were well poured (deep) and at a very reasonable price. Decor was clean and fun to look at. And though I'm not a beer drinker the selection of local and California micro and craft was very legit! read more

Local dive bar. Bartenders are friendly and drinks are inexpensive and bar is always clean. Staff is friendly . Recommended especially if in the area. James the owner is a great guy and very helpful. Marci the bartender is the sweetest woman but all the bartenders are well trained and knowledgable . Good selection of beers and alcohol and great for happy hour ! Also has a jukebox with a very large selection ! Great atmosphere read more

One of the best bars in the valley. Come see Marci K.C and Sharee. The pour Academy Award winning Drinkies!!!!!
