Susie is amazing ! She is the best person in the whole universe. If you don't come to the lost and found you will never know what it's like to be served generously and underpay! Especially in Los Angeles. Plus you can't resist her accent when she asks " one more honey" with a smile The best and only last great secret watering hole in LA !! read more

What you really care about is... DRINK PRICES: $5-tall boy $5- jack and coke (heavy jack) $7- Crown (7 sec pour!) cheap beer. don't remember... CASH ONLY! There's a Chase bank next door. ... Worst part about Lost + Found, the sign outside! What kind of weak sauce shopping center font is that? Makes it look like a bar for match.com rejects. Best Part... EVERYTHING! JUKEBOX DJ! Went there and heard nothing but metallica for 2 hours, then my friend put on a deadmau5 track and trolled that place hard! Thought everyone would hate it, but ppl started dancing! Pool and Darts! Ok, so the darts are plastic, so -.25 stars, but the pool players here are so dope! Crowd- mix of super old dudes trying to get chocolate chip wasted and a bunch of yelpers. The mix is awesome and hilarious. The night I went had a fireman's softball team here with their gf/wives. Great local bar. A real "cheers" vibe. Finally found a bar cheaper than moms w/o the rowdy college crowd. Wow did I just say that? read more

Why would I give 5 stars to a bar that proudly serves stale popcorn, has a jukebox stuffed with David Allan Coe and Merle Haggard, and that only carries the most bare essentials of booze? Cuz thats what I LOVE in my dive bars! I don't come here for craft foo-foo cocktails or hip indie music or the pretty people...I come here to be transported to rural Ohio, fake wood walls and all. I'm sure some of the regulars have been imported directly from the Midwest as well. My idea of a good night is to bring a friend or three, dominate the jukebox, (which no one minds cuz everyone loves Seger in here, and so do I), and get buzzed for under $20. I have struck up conversations with the barflies here most of the times that I've been, and it's always been entertaining and frankly, quite pleasant. So if you wanna drop the pretension and listen to some good country while salting your popcorn with cheddar powder and sipping on a dirt-cheap beverage, this is your place. See you there. read more

L&F is the shit. Gale is the coolest. Well drinks are four dollars... and super strong. I moved into a house a half mile away and my roommates and I go here every week. Mostly older people but they seem to tolerate the youths. Notable things: pool table, smoking area out back, juke box, free popcorn machine, darts, booths. No taps or wine - liquor & bottles. read more

Iv lived in the area 20 years. Passed this place for years and years and never came in. Cute old fashioned decor- flushed with red booths and a curved mood lit bar. The music is classic 70s that you can't help dance and sing along too. One pool table and it seems a popular instrument. Toni the barmaid is fast, nice and very accommodating. Clearly a locals hangout - even a bored for birthdays. Reasonable prices. For the mood - way too many TVs is the only downside. Thanks Toni- I even heard a patron ask "toni what am I gonna do with my life ?" And she answered! read more

This place is great! Keep in mind it's *CASH ONLY*! They don't have very good premium alcohols so don't come expecting to get Grey Goose or some fruity foofy martini! They have pool, darts and popcorn that you get to add butter salt too :-) I think they have hot dog and chili night too! It's a really fun, low key, cheap dive bar! read more

See all

Dive bar, for sure, and the drinks may be potent, but you'll probably get a stare and once / twice over by the locals who's place this is - not exactly welcomed with open arms - but check it out yourself!! read more

First stepped foot in this place in 93' Time warp, blew my wig back to the 1970's It was straight up divey as fuck back then as it is today!!! Can't explain it, just an aura I guess but, I love the smell when I walk through the door. It just reeks of a million drinks served and cigarettes smoked (before the smoking ban). You come here, be nice drink for cheap (because the rent is due) come with friends and be loud play pool bring your own food listen to jukebox music chat it up with the regulars (most are pretty friendly). Older crowd....30+ but, you'll get some youngsters after 10-11pm on certain nights to where it could be a wednesday or a saturday night. Hit and miss...really. I've met the flirty bar-fly to women you might think would order a mojito but yet find out they are yacking back Jack like nobody's business!!!! Honestly, the L & F is NOT for everyone. The pretentious, judgmental types should just stay home with a bottle of wine and watch some damn Netflix!!! Gale (bartender) Tuesday & Thursday What's the motto?....."Whas up baby" Later!!!! read more

Ages ago, I drove by this place so much, saw that padded swinging door along with the name "Lost and Found" and I just knew I had to try this place. Cheap-0 drinks and just like Lisa said, don't expect anything froofy. When my group went, it was all old people and smoke (back when some bars were still getting around the anti-smoke laws) and some drunk white haired gross dude in a grey business suit, with his gut hanging over his belt trying his damndest to pick me up. As if! read more

So, I'm in LA this weekend for a stodgy wedding. I'm very grateful that Lost and Found Cocktails and Dancing happened first. As a Philadelphia resident, I was a little skeptical of getting to go somewhere off the beaten path. (No offense hosts!You're clearly awesome). Then I found Lost and Found. Let me break it down: 1. self service popcorn 2. nude photo hunt 3. regulars with their own pool cues 4. in their own bags 5. $4 jack and diets 6. in a strip mall 7. a juke box 8. rolly chairs...... with armrests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9. puppy posters 10. MOVIE TRIVIA COCKTAIL NAPKINS! My theory is that they spend all of their money on the cocktail napkins. This makes me happy. I wish we could open a satellite in Philly. Thank you. read more

If it were the late 70's this bar would be tits. its just great. Shoot pool on a crooked table, break your arm, this place is so bad its good. I dont know if sunlight has made it in there in the last 20 years, but it is so ELO in there that I get a nosebleed every time I walk in the door. Drink al night for about 30 bones. It is a gem in a parking lot. read more

Karaoke lounge on Sundays is the absolute best with Dina Renee! A fun time, great host, and makes you want to come back for more!!! Recommend coming here if you wanna do karaoke on a Sunday night read more

3.5 stars but deserves the extra half. I don't anticipate this bar being a place I come to often even though I now live in walking distance. It's in a shopping complex which just seems odd for a place of this caliber. It really seems like a dive that should be located in the valley for some reason. Definitely an older clientele. I came here the other day with a couple friends as we waited for our pizza to be made next door (tony maroni's. that's a whole other story). There were maybe five women in the bar if, you count the bartender, out of a total of maybe 25 patrons. While I don't encourage places to keep guys out if there are too many, that ratio just isn't what I'm looking for. Granted, it was a little early (10pm on a Friday night) so it's not entirely a lost cause. The people here also have a higher average age than I'm used to. That being said, beers were cheap (although nothing on tap and it's cash only), there is a pool table and a cool cowboy saloon-esque doorway. This seems more like the place to start out a night with an early, quick drink, rather than finish it. read more

Based on a Tuesday visit: Uhhhh... really??? Old McCain looking grandpas drinking their life away at 12AM!! I mean really..!!!! This may look like a dive bar... but it smells like death... I think all has been said. read more

Ugh. No. Granted, it was crowded on a Tuesday night, so I guess it takes a certain kind of person to enjoy this place? I like dives, but this, just no. Drinks were cheap but the bartender was unfriendly, impatient and was yelling at us. It was super awkward and we felt unwelcome by the lame-ass people populating the bar -- from the 42yo man wearing a suit 3 sizes too big for him, to the huge 60yo woman who really shouldn't be hitting on the 42yo dude, to the 27yo chick wearing lavender granny panties sticking 6in out of her jeans as she sat on the barstool. Yeah............................................. read more

I live in the neighborhood and have to say that this is the ultimate neighborhood bar in a city where neighborhood bars are not so common. It is located in a prime location (next to a good pizza place) and has a fun energy to it. For the goal-oriented in you, become a regular and get your name on the old school felt pad with plastic letters. Low end, hangover inducing alcohol limits your choices but you don't go to a bar like this for top of the line stuff. Cash only. read more

Had a great time at this bar. Had several drinks and I can actually hear my friend and I are talking and the vibe is really cool and laid-back. Some guy in the evening but everybody pizzas it was just a nice comfortable place. read more

Not my usual type of place (no beers on tap) but it's really hard to give a bar where you encounter a 54 year old woman that molests your date's cleavage with her rabbit foot less than 5 stars. Oh and the drinks are cheap, they have TVs, pool table, erotic photohunt. read more

I suppose I could argue that this "dive bars" section of Yelp.com is like the "dive bars" olympics. If that is the case, the Lost and Found is a Greek monument to physical fitness and general muscular astonishment. It would make Schwarzenegger cry and pop some roids. In order to prove a dive bar's worth in the market, certain events have to have taken place there. The Lost and Found has had the following: 1. An old man dancing to MC Hammer in white flip flops. 2. A guy playing a pool cue as a guitar, all the while admiring himself in the mirror. He must have seen himself as a Van Halen adonis. 3. A woman referring to "octomom" as "octopus mom". 4. A man playing his harmonica in exact harmony with every song on the jukebox. Returning is like hoping to go to the circus for different three ring acts every time. Except in this case, the hope isn't just imagined, it will come to fruition. And the booze is cheap. Their Mai Tais will ruin your life in the best way possible. read more

Yes, it's a dive. Yes, I love this place. Cash only. Shares a parking lot with a small plaza, but parking is easy enough on Barrington if you're going at night. I love this place as a first stop on a long night or even for a very, VERY casual date. Crowd here varies; there are older regulars and during the week younger adults stopping here for a quick drink before going to a club/afterhours/whatever. Once came here on a date and some slimy man twice my age, WHO WAS ALSO ON A DATE, touched my leg. ew. But, 15 minutes later someone else at the bar bought drinks for all the women in the bar. So that was nice. Anyway, please don't be like me and if someone touches you tell them to fuck off and throw your drink at them, ok bye. read more

No no no no no. Ive been here twice and its not very fun. I would come here all the time if they would just turn the lights up a little bit! It makes you feel awkward because its so dark and everyone feels like they are glaring at you. I am a dive bar lover, but this is too much. read more

My favorite local bar! It's cheap, it's got the best free stale-burnt popcorn, and free music. Where else can you buy 4 or 5 drinks for under $20? And this place is on the westside! When I say free music, what I really mean to say is never pay for the juke box there. I can't count the times I've paid for music there and have never heard the songs I picked. There's always a ga-zillion people who already paid and left; so just enjoy what's on. There's a little pool table and some kind of adult video game. If you're a smoker, you'll definitely enjoy this place. There's a little area in the back where one can enjoy an American Spirit feeling like you're smoking indoors. read more

It's really uncomfortable when you go to a bar and there's 18 people and you pick a song on the jukebox and the bartender hates it and gets an attitude about it. This is my local bar and I love it, but when you get made to feel uncomfortable about your song choices... it makes you reconsider your loyalty. She rapidly went to put money in the box and pick her own songs to trump everyone's.... sad and insecure. read more

My friend who took me to this bar was apologizing to me later, because the place was not what she thought it would be. She was expecting something fancy, I guess. I actually enjoyed its non-fanciness, and I had a pleasure of getting a free beer when a birthday gentlemen bought everyone a drink. People there were friendly (super drunk at the same time...oh well...), and the music from the jukebox were nice. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's as true of a Dive as Dive's get. Drinks are incredibly cheap and the people are honest and real. Has to be one of the most genuine places on the Westside. I have been here several times and definitely plan to keep on coming back! Just can't get enough stale popcorn, cheap drinks, and tunes from their wildcard "classic" jukebox! read more

This is my neighborhood bar - the one I could stumble home from if I had to. It's dark, dingy and has limited jukebox selections. But the bartenders are always great. The clientele makes for some good conversation and people watching. My only sadness is they don't seem to carry any top shelf vodka - so I stick to beer. read more

Yes! I was looking for a couple of delicious drinks and I found them here. The bartender was so nice. Music was great and heck killer drinks. Totally a gem of a dive bar. Abigail made fresh watermelon juice with vodka ....These drinks are perfect for this weather! Also her old fashion drinks were on point. Just wish they were stalked with a larger whiskey selection. read more

Lost & Found - Freshly made yummy watermelon juice with vodka and a delicious old fashion. - Speakeasies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The quintessential American style bar. Cheap drinks (most thinks will only cost you 6 bucks), amazingly friendly staff, good music, and a nice cozy atmosphere. Only thing I wish they had was a little bit of food items but other than that this place is an amazing place to just unwind. read more

Hey definitely a neighborhood bar great bartenders good drinks pool table popcorn great music with a jukebox you can play open early close at 2 a.m. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night and liked that it was a chill bar with an older gentleman as a bartender. (Keeping old America working rather than retirement homes) The drinks are true to other reviews, they are CHEAP! Not so fancy for a dress code, came in uggs wanting to take them off bc of my well made black and coke.. Other than that there's parking and street parking, well lit area and older crowd..not that you'll feel awkward or anything, but chill just to drink and relax. Happy bar hopping :-) read more

I love finding fun, local bars! Lost & Found is in a strip mall next to a Chase. They might have done this on purpose as this bar is cash only. However, if you have less that $20 for the night, you'll still be able to have a great time. Most of the drinks are $4! Some of the fancier girly drinks are at most $6. And they put a lot of alcohol in the drink so you're getting more than your money's worth. It's very much of a sports dive bar atmosphere with a pool table, jukebox, and free popcorn. It's $1 to play a song you want. The venue is on the smaller side so it's just to drink and have a good time - not really a set dance floor. You can park for free right in front! The strip mall has it's own private lot. read more

Totally awesome local spot. Tuesday puffed up face with Owen Wilson nose says it all. read more

Lost & Found - Speakeasies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is a breath of fresh air in a smoggy West LA bar scene. Cheap drinks, great vibe and good service.. From the moment you push open the tufted leather saloon doors you feel like you've stepped into a forgotten time capsule of a pub that was once attached to a 70's bowling alley but the lanes have long since been demolished. Gail is wonderful and her song selection is choice.. Some nights people load up the jukebox with slipknot type garbage and I can see why she might bully the tunes. If you work for Google or in tech you might want to go somewhere safer! read more

Love it. Great dive bar-filled with locals & other interesting people. Pool table in back and darts too. Cheap drinks-a great place to go with friends to just hang out. Jukebox is fun to play with too. Lots of older classic songs. read more

This place is awesome! What a great find! It's a local, under the radar bar that has apparently been there for decades...30+ years? The seating in the back was a little weird and some of the locals aren't as friendly as one would expect, but I'll chalk it up to alcohol. Had a great time and the drink prices were fantastic! read more

This is definitely a dive. The drinks are cheep the crowd has a lot of regulars and a lot of irregulars if you know what I mean. haha, honestly there are some interesting people that gather there. The lost and found doesn't look like a dive from the outside. In fact it doens't look like a bar at all. It is in a small parking lot next door to a Blockbuster video. The shopping center looks very homogenized and bland but wait until you get inside the Lost and Found! It's a real dive bar! Dark, jukebox, pool table and darts and fairly small. Tips: -Bring Cash! It's a cash only place and you don't want to get stuck with atm fees - Don't be a drink snob. This place doesn't have premium liquors (example: I think their top shelf vodka is Smirnoff) - I'd avoid a large party of people. The place is kind of small and narrow until you get to the back...but that is where the pool table is. read more

I'm afraid to talk about this place because I want to keep it to myself. Whenever I'm back in LA I come here to meet up with old friends and family. It's so old school I can't help but love it. Yes, I've heard the odor in the men's room will kill you but I don't have to worry about that. Cheap drinks, easy location, low-key patrons (if you're low key - in other words, don't be a douche here), friendly staff (who will kindly get rid of the intrusive drunk bothering you), maybe some pros, and I'll just ignore that blood spray in the ladies room. Good times. read more

This bar is one of those hole in the walls, divey, locals-only type places. The decor is weird and it's a little stale inside but it's a cool spot. PROs: strong strong drinks for super cheap prices CONs: I've almost died here on a couple occasions Tip: learn to box read more

My favorite dive bar! This place goes easy on the wallet. Four Jack and cokes for less than twenty dollars? That is a bargain. Lots of drinks are at a very low cost and are heavy on the liquor. I've had friend's birthday celebrations, a going away get-together, and other celebrations with tons of people. One time we filled up the bar with sixty people! Though there are definitely locals, they sit around the bar and do not care about who goes. The bartenders make an effort to learn names and favorite drinks. There is a pool table, dart wall, and several tables to sit around. BTW, there is free popcorn. This bar is a must. read more

People can think i m giving bad posts only. So i decide to make positive post about place which REALLY worth it!!!!! I was there last week with my friend ( he lives near by and he was there million times)... As for me it was my first time there. Its my fav. type of bar - small, hidden, with jukebox and positive atmosphere. Blonde girl who worked as a bartender that night was super nice, polite and funny. Not expensive but strong drinks, jukebox, pool table, right people with right atmosphere. Usually this kind of bars have very dirty restrooms (exuse me ))))....The restroom in there was very clean. )))) I will come back to there for sure )))) read more
