There isn't any food, but if you come when Jaopaya Thai is open you can order from there! The thai place is literally next door. Thai and kava would have had been such a vibe, but we came very late. BUT they allow outside food, so we door dashed from McDonald's to the lounge. The kava drinks taste so good. I got the oreo one with 1 shot. The service was amazing. The inside was a vibe, and they had a lot of board games and such. Also they had arcade machines, I don't know if someone left their credits in but I was able to play for free. So cool! I definitely recommend this place for people who want to try Kava. Thank you to all of the staff there that made this visit welcoming.

Oreo Oat Milkshake

Coming in at noon, the place was pretty quiet. But we were welcomed by a kind server. The outside was a bit jarring and loud because they're right across from a car wash. Suprisingly, they were able to mask the noise outside really well and it also was not noticable in their cute back patio. We really enjoyed the oreo oatmilk shake. It didn't taste any different from a normal milk shake. The Horchata was also delicious, It was lighter and refreshing. The relaxing effect of kava was Interesting. We enjoyed a sort of body relaxation and didn't really notice until we realized that we had a sort of body calmness and we're just happily vibing. We'll def do this again and look forward to trying their free games and try other flovors. the kava shot was bigger than I expected. And on its own, it tasted almost sour, aromatic after taste. Definitely a sipping experience.

I love this Kava Lounge. I love spending my time here with my boyfriend and my friends. The employees are extremely sweet with quick service. Erika & Francis are truly the best. I come here very often because the vibes are great and so are the people. There's an indoor & outdoor area with music, pretty LEDS, great decor for every holiday, arcade machines, board games, TV'S, a bathroom and you can also smoke outside. The drinks are so good and the kava is amazing and a great alternative if you don't drink alcohol. They host fun events often! I recommend this place to all of my friends and everyone who is contemplating on coming.

Shirley Temple, kava single bowls

Everyone here is always so nice to us and the ambiance is amazing. I love going here often with my girlfriend and we both love all of the drinks, they're really good. Great service and music always, and inside and outside areas are very nice. The Shirley temple is my favorite drink so I recommend that to anyone that comes here.

Tried kava for the first time--tastes like earthy regret but feels like a warm hug from the universe. Fifteen minutes in, my stress melted, my shoulders dropped, and suddenly I was vibing with strangers like we were old friends at a beach bonfire. Not your average drink, but if you're looking to sip your way to inner peace without the hangover, this root's got you.

El servicio al cliente aquí fue mal. Por favor, investiguen sobre Kava... No buena. El matcha estaba en el menú, pero no estaba listo para servir. ¿Por qué?

Strawberry horchata & regular horchata drinks with Kava

Great place to stop by and hang out either solo or with some friends! You'll be able to get some work done here or play some of the board games they carry. I recommend getting the strawberry horchata drink, extremely delicious

Ahhhh where do i begin?!…read more Been here twice; and on the second visit i decided to leave a review! Reseda is not our usual spot for a Saturday night but V lounge may have changed that or at least our idea of it. They have Valet parking for their location but it is small and it will most certainly fill up! you can park on the street or off of G-line Metro station they have parking there and its well lit. Upon walking in the guard does a quick pat down and checks for ID and purses following that you walk through metal detectors. There was no cover charge. As soon as you enter you have the bar to the left and to the right you have the nightclub. They have so much seating area! that was impressive! In our first visit they did not have tonic for my usual vodka tonic i will say this place is expensive for a non cocktail drink. I do want to point out that they have pricing discrepancies. how do we go from the first round of drinks which was jack and coke for $32 dollars then the next round be $36 dollars ?? make that make sense. You can tell the crowd is very much about dancing. after all what do you come to a nightclub for ? they have great dance floor with a lot of lighting and loud speakers. I would like to say that the seating booths are for bottle service or buckets of beer and seltzers'. I think the buckets of beer start off at $8 per container (depending on what you get) we got 6 white claws for $48. Bathrooms were decent but could be improved in my opinion. The ac system works great its always fresh though we have not put it to the test by dancing. This place has so much potential to improve. I still have mixed feelings so we shall see what the future holds.

Don't EVER!! use the Valet services there! The guy took…read morestuff, iphone and left a mess in the car. The Tesla camera caught it all, but the owners do nothing.

My co worker had a long drive back home so I offered we go get a drink to waste time and not sit in traffic on a Friday night. We walked over from where we work and I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. They were playing great music, they have a pool table and they open up the front so you can see the interior of the bar from the sidewalk. The bartender knows how to make drinks!!! They were good. We ordered tater tots and the dipping sauces that came with it one being ketchup and the other one I am not sure what it was but it was great. I'm impressed with the bartender, there was a group of 7 people and they were getting hammered! LOL They had just done a round of shots and they were drinking something else. The bartender cut them off. I've never seen that before but I respect that. Good job for caring about them and not what they are spending on drinks. I'm def going back again!!! Cheers

Solid choice for a casual lunch/dinner with a bunch of TVs to watch sport with some good punk…read morerock/rock music. Will be coming back for sure. A great mix of food. The sushi options were great. They also have daily happy hour from 3-6, even on the weekends. I had the banana bread old fashion and was surprisingly pretty good. The tuna crispy bread was really good, good portion. The cauliflower was also good, definitely had. A kick but for someone that doesn't do spice very tolerable. The sushi burrito was also good but fell apart at the end. Staff was great, and the bathroom was also pretty good, 3 stalls for women. Parking was $7.50 which was a bit wild. I wouldn't park i come and park in the garage

If this is what the west coast considers a gastropub, I must laugh. Hahahahaha!!!!!…read more The drinks and the atmosphere are overall pretty decent. The food? Ridiculously poor. Worse than the dive bar I used to attend in the 5,000 person population college town I used to work in. I ordered the fish and chips. Dry! Burnt! Freezer burn! Fries were dry and nasty. Awful stuff! I had to send it back. It was that bad. See the pics. A friend of mine ordered some starters. Deviled eggs and chicken. Awful. A joke. Egg yolks and food coloring. Avoid. The place is run day-to-day by a group of Generation Z idiots. Backwards hat wearing fools. It's sad. Come for the drinks. Leave the food for the punters. It should be illegal to have "gastropub'" in this joints name. How far have we fallen as a nation to charge money for this prattle tattle garbage? Fuck 'em

Maui Sugar Mill is exactly what I think of when someone says 'local watering hole' or 'dive bar'…read more Lanny and the crew are amazing, great bartenders and conversation starters. This used to be my spot! If you like live music, be sure to check out their blues night. Get there EARLY! Camp out at the bar and save your seat because it's about to be standing room only. You can reserve a table in advance. If you miss a live music night, just purchase some points for the jukebox. Smoking section outside, no food, but feel free to bring your own. There's pizza, sushi, and sandwiches in the same plaza, so you're set! A staple of the valley! If you go, order a Dark and Stormy for me!

Spent Super Bowl Sunday at Sugar Mill, and it was the very best decision I've made in a long time…read more This place is most definitely "the little bar that could," with a great staff, fun and funny patrons, and an atmosphere that allows for both staunch fans and casual observers. Most people contribute to a pot luck feast that spans the wide world of food, from hot dogs and chili to baked ziti, tacos, meatballs, fried chicken, Chinese food, and on and on -- including some amazing homemade clam chowder from Mike The Mailman. Bartender Natalie did an amazing job of handling the busy crowd with speed and smiles. There were a couple of other staffers on site to watch the game, and they jumped in when she needed a hand with this or that, but for the most part Natalie captained the bar single-handedly for the duration. Kudos to her. It's true, Super Bowl only comes once a year, so other game days don't have the pot luck feast -- Sugar Mill doesn't have a kitchen, though they're happy to have you bring in whatever food you like and eat it there. Food aside, the crowd and the service are always just what you want, making it the perfect place to relax into at game time as Basketball enters the home stretch and baseball steps up to bat.

Re-re-return to C-Frenz, a very spacious bar nightclub in the heart of Reseda in the San Fernando…read moreValley. I've only been a small handful of times since 2021, but was nice to come back in again on a date night. This long-standing all inclusive lgbtq+ space is celebrating their 20th Anniversary this week as well as the birthday of one of it's awesome bartenders ChrisTopher, who served us up some great drinks tonight. This dive bar meets billiard bar meet karaoke lounge (two nights a week - Sunday and Thursday) meets double patio areas and more is a neighborhood favorite. When I lived down the street it was one of my favorite places to go whether walking along Reseda Blvd up to the street entrance or down Hart St to Canby Avenue through the patio and back door/main entrance via it's shared parking lot with neighboring businesses including a large music studio in an industrial-esque neighborhood block. There's plenty of parking between the lot and along Canby without restrictions, but also metered parking on Hart St and Reseda Blvd. It's a little more than a mile up from the Metro G - Orange Line and also rideshare friendly (back entrance drop off and pick up is often best as the front door is typically closed and/or locked at times. They have restrooms for all genders, remodeled and upgraded. Tall tables inside with seating as well as bar seating on all ends of their double sided bar. Drinks are a little more than your dive club prices, but loaded and generous portions. One downside is the AC system which is not powerful at all, and with the back doors generally open letting out in contained cool air it can be humid and muggy inside. It definitely cools off at night and in cooler months. They've made a lot of updates and small renovations, but the AC not so much. They have so cool themed nights like goth night via Club Caelum, drag events, drag race viewing Fridays, go-go dancing nights, competitions, Sunday BBQ and more. Come to the West Valley's only gay bar to make new friends and of course "C" frenz.

There were good times for sure but the bar, especially prior to covid was always dominated by cliques which did not make it an inclusive atmosphere for all...& many people stopped going. At one point it was very high school with a mean girl vibe. It's sad that with karaoke & the VR room (that was shut down) the vibe seemed way more inclusive in the last 3 years. I wish there could be another West Valley bar that is inclusive for EVERYBODY & not dominated by cliques that seem to think they can take over. Just my thoughts. M.
