Came by today right at 6. Door was locked and when I went to open it the lockbox on the handle popped open with the front falling completely open because...it's a broken lockbox ...with the key in it! I did my best to close it back up but it was so janky! I didn't want anyone to steal the key but I was so self conscious that I'd be seen as trying to break in my damn self. I left at 6:07 pm - nobody came. I'm assuming it either opens later with the wrong hours on yelp or someone was late to open. I've been curious about this spot for years and finally decided to try it. Glad it was on my way home. Wouldn't recommend :-/ read more

This was the largest jump scare of my life when I expected to walk into lost & found but instead found a sanitized bullshit artisanal cocktail bar with horrifically tacky Hollywood Blvd decor. Lost and found was one of my favorite dive bars on the planet. When I first moved to LA 10 years ago it was comforting to find a true dive with stale popcorn and cheap drinks like I had come from in the Midwest. To still have the old sign and same name outside is a disgrace. Like how most of the west side is turning, you've stripped all character out of this bar to conform for the tech douchebags with their generic haircuts. To say the renovation of this bar is a tragedy is an understatement. You should have let it stay closed. read more

Ambiance is excellent. Low key place with fun music. Wasn't super crowded which meant great and immediate service. Bathrooms were clean. Cocktails were excellent. Booths to sit and have a conversation were comfortable. Acoustics were great because you could have a conversation 10 feet from the dance floor and actually hear the other person. It's in a strip mall with parking. From the outside, it doesn't look like anything is going on. Had me fooled. This place is solid. read more

They absolutely massacred the best dive bar in Los Angeles. Way to take a historic dive bar and strip it of all its character. If they had been thoughtful about reopening and preserved the integrity of this institution, this could have been one of the coolest spots on the westside. And would have become very popular. Everything that made this place special is gone now. History has value in Los Angeles and instead of playing up that value, they went full cheap Vegas. And destroyed a community hub for the patrons who had been coming here for decades. It's like replacing beautiful original hardwood floors with gray laminate. Or leveling a Victorian house to build a modern condo. Devastatingly heartbreaking and devoid of charm. So sad that the new owners couldn't see what made this bar great. So sad to see the soul of the city chipped away even further. Call it something else because this isn't Lost & Found. read more

Do not go here!! On Saturday, June 7th my friends and I walked into this bar and we thought it was a pretty cool bar so we decided to just hang out for a little till we go to the next. Everything was going well and then we decided to start leaving to the next place. 5 of my friends left already to the next place but myself and my other friends were waiting for an uber. We thought why not order something till we wait. So I ordered it with the bartender who was wearing a black denim shirt (it was cute btw). She literally took SOOO LONG to give it to us and you want to know why? Because she was busy talking to her coworkers and etc. Look I'm all for enjoying and having fun especially if you work at a bar but why is it taking so long to get a drink if it was not busy AT ALL and we had asked if we can get it fast because our uber was on it's way and she agreed. Clearly I was not going to tip for that and trust me I've always been a great tipper. So after we drank our drink, our uber was here and we decided to get some water on our way out. While I was drinking water, the same bartender came up to us and YELLED at my friends and i and said "We work really hard you need to tip us right now!". Um... excuse me, first of all you can't ask someone to tip you and second why would I if my service with you was not okay. I'm sorry but a place whose service is not good and yells at me before leaving when I did nothing is not a place I want to be. RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL that's for sure. read more

I was a bartender at the Lost and Found in the early 90's when Andy owned the place. One of the best bars I ever worked at. Loved the regulars and even non-regulars. I went back to visit in 2018 and when I walked in I felt like I traveled back in time. EVERYTHING was the same, except the owner. Andy had passed. When I was in LA for the big USC/UCLA game (yes I'm a trojan) I stopped by the Lost and Found and was completely heartbroken to see it was permanently closed. That bar was a classic and there will never be another one like it. Thank you Lost and Found for such great memories. read more

I can't believe I haven't given this place a review! Let's start off by saying this is a LOCALS dive bar with stiff drinks. Lost & Found is found a little plaza next to a Chase and across the street from Whole Foods. This is 100% a locals dive bar. The bartenders have been working here for years and have developed relationships w the regulars. This doesn't mean you won't be welcomed, but there probably won't be any room at the bar for you and the vibe might feel unwelcoming since everyone else knows each other. That being said, I love this place but I'm a local lol. Gail is the BEST BARTENDER!!! Wooo Gail!!! There are regulars birthdays displayed in the bar and it isn't uncommon for someone to order everyone pizza. If you put a sad or low vibe song on, sometimes gail will skip it. She's just tryna keep the vibe going. I love this bar. I love their whisky sours, I love the people, and I love Gail! #LOCALSONLY read more

I had a great night at Lost & Found. The funny thing about this bar, personally, was that I'd been visiting the neighborhood my whole life because my grandma lived a few blocks a way. I'd been to this shopping center for years, going to the Blockbuster (remember those!?) or waiting for the bus across the street to get to summer school at UCLA. I'd been by Lost & Found, unable to go in, for so long. Years later I'd moved to LA and had totally forgotten about Lost & Found (didn't take the bus anymore and Blockbuster was long gone), when a friend asked if I'd heard of it and wanted to go. So I went, worried that years of mystique would have set my expectations too high. But no, in the years since I'd gained an appreciation for dive bars with heavy pours, and Lost & Found was just that type of establishment. I loved every moment of it. I loved the other patrons, the awesome bartender, the dingy lights, the fresh watermelon juice with vodka drink. Everything about it was excellent. Five stars for being just as cool as I imagined it would be when I stared at it, unable to go in, all those years ago. read more

Hole in the wall inside the middle of a shopping center. Drinks are cheap and so are the furnishings. Guests are interesting enough with just as interesting of a bartender. The options for decent whiskeys, vodka, gin, scotch...and hell all the liquor for that matter are very slim in choices. The beer selection is only bottled of uninspiring selections. The bathroom almost made me puke with the smell. The stall door is literally rotting away, barely hanging on by a thread of molded piss rotted wood.

This bar has to be located in the most random plaza ever, but once you go inside, it's like entering a whole different world. This place has so much character, interestingly cool/unique people, and it's surprisingly poppin' on a Saturday night. The place is pretty divey with dim lighting and lots of random art pieces, a pool table, some tables, a juke box in which you can pay to pick music, and even has computer chairs throughout the venue for lounging. Drinks here are very cheap! I think I got 2 whiskey cokes for $10? The bartenders are also really friendly and they don't skimp out on the amount of alcohol, which is always appreciated. The drinks were pretty dang strong, actually. LOTS of different types of people here and everyone was extremely friendly, often coming to talk to you even if you don't know them. I can tell that this is one of those bars that have a lot of regulars and it feels very home-y and welcoming, which is cool. Also, I heard this bar opens all year and even on Christmas. Can you say DEDICATION??! If I lived in Santa Monica, I would definitely come here on the regular. read more

My husband opted for a neat Caballito Cerrero Puntas pour (high proof agave spirit). They only had 0.5 Oz for their bottle and only charged for the partial pour. People came in and ordered anything from cocktails to neat pours to flights. It was a cool spot and the bartenders seemed pretty well versed in different cocktails, giving a few suggestions to different patrons. Even making a few Espresso Martinis for a couple of girls that didn't really like their initial cocktails. Staff was cool, attentive, and pretty quick and efficient with the pours. I'd definitely be down to try more drinks here if we roll through again. Luckily, we found some close street parking and it wasn't super busy so we easily found parking in the area. It also wasn't super packed in the venue so we could've opted for other seating--lounge areas, a few tables, or just at the bar.

Music is not loud and they have couches and booth if bar table if not your thing, you don't have to yell or pretend you hear everything to hold a conversation here (lol). ** Keep in mind 20% gratuity is automatically included in bill, it's my first time here. But I think I've other spots I'd prefer to be in, even at Santa Monica. Wouldn't be self-motivated to come back because there are better places that specialises mixology, and there are also better upscale hotel bars to be at. But if you're around the area it's a great intimate bar for date night that's not overly pricey. Wouldn't travel all the way to here just for this (if you know what I mean).

Great lounge / restaurant bar in Santa Monica. Dark but not…read moretoo dark. Good music with cool vibe. I tried almost everything on the menu. From oysters to a couple bottles of wine . Service was great. The bartender made us feel at home. Most definitely will be back.

Chelsea is a great choice for a classy & elegant evening. The inside has very modern style decor…read morewith dim lighting that really sets the tone for a date night. The menu felt a bit limiting considering the few options for entrees. They serve American food, which really just means a bunch of random things. The Wasabi Pea Crusted Ahi might sound intimidating & kinda weird, but i'm glad J ordered it. The fish itself tastes very plain but fresh. The crust is what gives this dish flavor. I enjoyed trying this dish, but I think i'll leave it as a one-time experience. The service was excellent. You can really feel that this is a family owned business that has a lot of love being poured into it. Chelsea has a lot of potential in my opinion & for that reason, I'd be willing to give it another visit some day.

Cocktails are well-crafted. Food from the restaurant side, Little Fatty, is delicious! Highly recommend the garlic noodles and shaking beef. My favorite thing about this bar is the playlist! Old school hip hop sets exactly the right vibe and gives this place so much character. There's also a reverse happy hour after 10 PM. Definitely check this spot out!

Great little Asian-inspired bar in the Venice/Mar Vista area--a little trendy for a neighborhood…read morebar but the vibes and the food are worth it. They have LA-borough themed drinks here which is pretty cool--I've lived in LA long enough to get the inside jokes in the ingredients--see if you get it ha! Drinks are well crafted from great spirits and the bar tenders are quick and attentive quickly servicing folks both at the bar and standing around waiting for a table. Food is a bit on the expensive side (think elevated Panda Express) but the flavors are robust and delicious. I ordered their orange chicken dish and rice and it was crispy, tender, and delicious in all the right combinations of sweet and savory. Will definitely come back!

Goodness we always have our happy hours here and we love this place!…read more The food is really delicious. Honestly the food and the service keeps us coming back. There was a female waitress that gave me coworker a little attitude but it was my friends fault for confusing and asking another waiter for help. The onions rings are my absolute favorite. They have mini burgers too that we absolutely love. They have a wedge salad that is 12/10. The Mac and cheese is a bit dry but still delicious. The ceviche is also fresh and tasty. The drinks are amazing, they are priced fairly and even after 08pm they are still priced fairly. I'm not sure who the owner is but he was chill. There was also another gentleman who helped us out as we were DYING of heat in our little corner and he came by and gave us an electric fan. He definitely went out of his way and accommodated us. Overall service is great, food is absolutely delicious and the vibes are fun. We happened to stay past 08 to join for karaoke hour! We will be back soon!

A stunning lounge that leans fully into that old money, royal feel. Every detail is intentional…read more Dark wood, rich textures, low lighting. It doesn't just look good, it pulls you into a different mood the moment you walk in. The space is thoughtfully split. One side has a cozy fireplace with lounge seating that feels intimate and elevated. The other side opens up into the bar with dining tables up front, giving it a more social, slightly livelier energy. Drinks are absolutely amazing. Crafted well, balanced, and consistent. But what really stands out is how the ambiance takes over the entire experience. The crowd shows up. Well dressed, confident, and adds to the overall vibe instead of taking away from it. Some places you go just for drinks. Here, the ambiance takes it to another level. It feels like an experience, not just a night out.

Wallflower absolutely blew me away. The food was so ridiculously good that I genuinely left…read morewondering how this place doesn't have a Michelin star (or at least some recognition). Every dish tasted thoughtful, unique, and restaurant-week-level refined. We ordered the nasi goreng fried rice, noodles, beef rendang, yam dish, and pea salad. Flavor-wise? Almost everything was incredible. The beef rendang especially was packed with flavor, and every dish felt elevated and intentional. My only reason for knocking off a star is the value. The portions were tiny -- not "small plates" tiny, but more like one-to-two bites each while still being priced aggressively. By the end, I felt more impressed than full. If the portions matched the quality, this would've easily been a 5-star experience. That said, if you care more about exceptional food than portion sizes, this place is worth trying. One of the most memorable meals I've had on the Westside.

Underrated in my opinion. Service was excellent; food was amazing; place was super chill but…read morelively. We got the Duck Lumpia (definitely get this), Snap Pea Salad (definitely get this), fried rice, and Pepes (barramundi wrapped in banana leaf (excellent). Duck Lumpia was my favorite but everything was fabulous. Our server, who's normally behind the bar, was great. He was super accommodating, made sure our menu picks were balanced and didn't order too much, and he was very accommodating with my off menu drink request. I don't know what there is to not like about Wallflower! Underrated ratings in my opinion.
