This is a dive bar in the area. Locals crawl to this area and it shows. Food is not served here. They have beer on draft, cans and bottles. They also have a full bar. The service was good, but the time we went was empty. During a world cup game. There were a few locals in the bar and several folks came in to watch the game, but they kept the jukebox on. Other patrons asked to listen to the game, but there was one person who kept playing music on the jukebox. This definitely proved to me that although this was a dive bar, sports was not welcomed or a priority there. Come here for a drink, but not for a dodger or sports game. There's other dive bars that are more reasonable. Maybe this was why it was empty. read more

Used to come on fridays for karoake. One night I came in the bartender was blasted dancing on the counter, giving people the wrong change, giving people who didnt even pay change, giving debit cards to the wrong people and disappearing with other debit cards. People were waiting for the last hour for drinks they never got and were waiting well after close for their cards back from their "tabs" safe to say i havent returned read more

Not a bad place, the drinks are cheap and customer service is good. Kinda more angles towards a more Mex. American clientele.. But it's still pretty cool!! Worlds different than Duffy's a half mile down the street... read more

Lucky Lizard Bar - a drink in a glass with a straw - Bars Near Me - Whittier, California

Definitely my favorite bar, I don't come as often as I'd like, but anytime I come it's been an amazing experience. Definitely recommend, Friday nights are my favorite nights to come. read more

Dive bar feel. Staff is cool. Service was quick. In a strip mall so easy to miss. Average

I love this bar! I found it about 2016. Cool vibe in quiet nites. In busy nights.... Anything goes! I have stopped by while their was a wedding after party going on. Their tables were decorated and had centerpieces with pictures of the couple. Another night, a BBQ truck was there with some kick ass bbq. I have seen birthdays parties, bachelorette too. The have karaoke, guest DJs (Funky Fellows) and a pool table. There were all kinds of board games, I'm didn't remember seeing them when I last visited. My friend and I loved playing Jenga with dirty things written on the pieces. Lol! Taqueria Colima is in the same at strip, but it closes at 10. McDonalds is on the corner and Weinersnitzel is across the street if you get hungry. The owner is named Bernard. He is very protective if his establishment. I like him, he is always friendly. This is my favorite Dive Bar. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I wish I lived closer! The bartender's are off the wall amazing and helpful!. Plus management is always on the lookout and ready to keep us safe! I especially like the drink specials! Thank you to all the crew of Lucky Lizard! read more

I came to this bar on a Saturday night and it was pretty dead. It gave a biker/dive bar vibe. Not really my scene. The bartender was super friendly and kind but she overfilled my glass with too much ice. My friend & I stayed for one drink and left. Unless you're a regular you might feel out of place, unless you're in a big group. read more

The ambience was great and so was amber! Loved it! The music was also nice and they have a pool table

I have to say I found this place on a fluke. I ride for the American Legion Riders and stopped by this place to have a drink and honor our fallen. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was very comfortable and friendly. It's a great dive bar! I would recommend this place to all Motorcycle clubs and motorcycle chapters! Thank you for great service! read more

Do you feel luck punk? Do ya? Dirty Harry would approve. My friend who lives around the area told me he really likes this place, so i had to check it out. First of all, fuck Google maps... It directed us towards the back into an apartment complex. Not cool. Anyways, make sure you check in on yelp. It's buy a drink and get a well drink or draft beer on tap for free. And drinks here are extremely cheap already. I'm not sure how this place stays on business if drinks are cheap and they're offering a bogo. They have a few beers on tap and more selections in cans and bottles. As for the liquor they have a good amount, but nothing super fancy. There are board games, connect four and jenga. read more

Horrible service horrible atmosphere, complete dump. Needs to be seriously cleaned up and improved. Customer basis leaves something to be desired as well. read more

Cool kick back spot, I don't frequent bars that often but I enjoyed my experience. Music was good, and it was a real comfortable vibe.

I wanted to come here for my birthday but it didn't work out. I'm disappointed I didn't! Service is great. Reasonable prices. Good drinks! Got the well whiskey and coke. And it actually tasted like whiskey! Go figure. Unlike other bars where it's coke water. Ew. Thanks Liz! You know how to pour it! Will definitely do a return trip. It was a good time to wind down Friday after work... Also a clean bathroom. As a lady, y'all know the struggle. read more

Very friendly and no drama kind of bar the Beer is cold and is good. Our bartender needs to learn to make a few mixed drinks a little better but overall I gave this bar five stars. read more

Nice for a dive bar. There are sometimes crazy homeless people right outside, but that isn't the establishment's fault. read more

My favorite bar ever since Humdinger closed. They have every game, reasonable prices, and, with a couple of exceptions, who will remain nameless, the friendliest bartenders in town. Best karaoke atmosphere I've experienced. Security guard Howie is the best! read more

This bar is a good place to get drunk at i give it 5 stars at this point I'm just trying to fulfill the writing requirements

I love this bar! Great drinks and good prices. Perfect place for a ladies night or to watch a game on Sundays. Bernard the owner came by to introduce himself and answer our jukebox questions.The Sunday Michi special was great and everyone in the bar is friendly and even offered us pool tips. We will definitely be back ! read more

I discovered this place out of a little adventure I had after talking with a guy at the bar of Black Angus Whittier. A few martinis in and bam, I'm at the Lucky Lizard. I take it for what it is. Yes, it's a dive bar. Yes, there's one pool table off the side, some tall tables off to the side, and an electronic juke box at the end. Yes, I'm very observant. I'll admit. I'm a bit of a food and drink snob so I'm not the type of person you'll find at dive bars. I don't like drinking basic beers like Bud Light and Bud Light equivalents. I prefer your local craft beers and more. The Lizard offers these standard American brews including Rolling Rock and while I don't care much for them, I surprised myself. I enjoyed the refreshing crisp of Rolling Rock on draft and in a pitcher. Who knew that a regular, basic beer I thought was shit in a can could be good on draft at a dive bar called Lucky Lizard? This guy does now. I've told my friends about my little adventure with the new friend I hung out with and now my friends are coming here because they see eye-to-eye with me. Hey, I can't always be fancy. I do appreciate the true nature of places as long as they present themselves as they are. Beers on draft. Check. The single pool table in the corner. It's free? Whaaaatt? -------------------------------------------------- QUICK TIPS: -------------------------------------------------- # This is a neigborhood dive bar that is cleaner than most and does a dive bar right with no pretense. Lucky Lizard presents itself as it is. It's clean and chill. . Come here for your standard non-craft brews. They do have Lagunitas IPA on draft, but you know they're not craft. # There's 1 pool table and jukebox for your entertainment pleasures. read more

I only give this place 2 stars bc the drinks were cheap. $2 well drinks for ladies. Other than that, it was a bust. I moved from Alhambra to Hacienda Heights a few weeks ago and was looking for a cool bar for me and my friend to go to. Found this place on yelp, and bc of the great reviews we thought we'd check it out. To our disappointment it was a dive bar. Very divy, but we stayed. There were definitely some characters there. One guy told us he could stop global warming with his energy and that he stopped the volcano eruption in Hawaii with a single word. That same guy asked me and my friend if we were lesbians. Ransom ppl were making out, and one of those ppl also asked us if we were a couple. In the 8 years we've been friends, we've never been asked that--and so often. It was weird. I also didn't feel comfy leaving my drink unattended. I gulped down my drink just to hit the bathroom. When I went in the one to the left, you could immediately tell it used to be the men's restroom. It wreaked of urine. The toilet seat was tagged up and so was the paper towel dispenser. I didn't even want to put the toilet seat lid down or sit on it, nor hang my purse. So, I squatted and help my purse close to my chest, then used paper towels for the sink handle and door handle. That all said, I have nothing against the bar. It's a good fit for some ppl, I guess, but it's just not for me. I won't be going again. read more

Lucky Lizard Bar - Bars Near Me - Whittier, California

The Lizard is local gem for Whittier and surrounding cities. Dodgers, NFL Package and great prices, what else do you need? An owner who cares? Yes, they have that too. An owner who cares, kicks people out for simply being an ass. A lot of owners don't because they see dollars, instead of the safety for bartenders and customers alike. Bernard is a stand up guy, which is one of the many reasons I attend Lizards and refer people! My friends and I will be back! read more

Love this place Rosio and Keena are the best bartenders around. I been coming for 4 years it's a great place to be it's like home to me read more

After my first great experience I came back here on a Sunday afternoon for a drink. The atmosphere this time was completely different. On a Sunday afternoon they had a DJ playing and the music was way too loud. Not sure why they have a DJ on Sunday afternoon but whatever. They needed to turn it down a notch or 2. So I sit at the bar and place my order with the bartender. 2 mixed drinks. She comes back and says $14. I'm thinking that seems kind of high but ok, maybe cause the DJ is playing the prices are higher. The bartender is kind of a space cadet and I had to assume she is high on something. I give her a $20 and then she goes about her business. I'm expecting change to come back but it never does. is she seriously trying to keep my change as a tip? The patrons of this place this afternoon are of the ghetto thug genre so I'm keeping my cool as I don't want to get my ass kicked. So we finish up our drinks and I get the bartenders attention and say "can I get my change? i gave you a $20". without saying a word she wanders over to the tip jar and comes back with $10. To this day I don't know what the hell was going on in this girls brain. this experience was enough to keep me from coming back. I thought I had found a cool place to grab a drink but I was wrong. I don't want to come to a place where i have to be concerned if I am going to get my change back when paying with a 20 dollar bill. read more

I must say, this place has definitely changed. The owner and bar tenders have focused on creating a wonderful karaoke day and it gets packed. As usual, DRINK SPECIALS!!! the best in town. I'll add this place to my stops on a busy week to unwind and have a few drinks and socialize. Great job lucky lizard staff! read more

Came in last Friday to celebrate my bf's cousin's Birthday! All in all, it was a very chill vibe. Definitely a place where the guys outnumber the girls. I believe the ratio was like 6 guys to every 1 girl. Friday meant Karaoke night :) The Karaoke/DJ dude was very good at his job. I liked his method of playing a karaoke song then rotating 2-3 "regular" songs in between. The singers were quite entertaining. After the liquor started to kick in, we all got into the karaoke spirit and started to sing our favorite songs too. Bar drinks were priced fairly. This particular night there was a $4/fireball shot special. Our party bought a few rounds of those, and more than a few $10 pitchers of domestic beer. No fights, or drama that I witnessed. I had a good time, and will definitely go back with some girlfriends. read more
