    a bar with red walls and stools
    Rudy M.

    Really cool experience coming here. It went all the way to the back where it was nice and quiet, with comfortable seating. Drinks were good during happy hour and it was cool to see that ping pong was center stage. I will definitely come back and perhaps stay a little longer.

    Fruity drink that I don't remember the name of.

    I came to Mom's bar because one of my friends had highly recommended it. Well.. she did not disappoint. I really loved this bar with its low lighting and lowkey vibe. The music could be a little better but that didn't ruin the fun time with other patroons dancing the night away. The drinks were pretty tasty and pretty well priced. I honestly don't remember what I ordered but it was fruity as hell. I will definitely be back here.

    Go Pack Go!

    This is THE PLACE to watch Packers games! What fun! The vibe is amazing and the drink specials were spot on. Our services was great. Definitely go here!

    Mom's is almost always a good time! Drinks are good and DJ Bossa Nova on weekends is a pretty solid dj. It's small and pretty casual but there are always people dancing which is why I like it here! I tried using the photo booth last night though and it didn't work :( it charged me $5 all for the pictures to come out blank. So don't use it if you go to Mom's lol

    The bar in general.

    If you're looking for a "watering hole" this is what you've been looking for. Those of you who have seen my other reviews know that I prefer my bars on non-sports nights so I can chat with friends and other patrons. This is my second time here and the experience was equally enjoyable and exactly what I was looking for -- a good drink, a good place to sit and some good conversation. One INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT ingredient in this mis is the bar staff: very friendly without being overly solicitous, knowing exactly when to check in on your possible need for a next drink. Atmosphere: comfortable and relaxed, with pool tables (play was pretty mellow) and a pleasant surprise, an outdoor area and a small library style nook that makes you feel like you are in a drawing room club. Excellent selection of whiskeys (Irish and Scottish), and bourbons. I am told the vodka selections are pretty deep, and the tequila shelf (and its cousin mezcal) with look to be well stocked as far as selection. Happy Hour has very well priced beers and cocktails, and the complimentary potato chips were a nice touch (warning -- they will help you surpass your recommended daily allowance of sodium by about 820%).

    Mix of dive bar in the front and classy back room lounge. Came with friends and ordered some drinks on a Saturday night. Good mix of beers, cocktails, and margaritas. Decent crowd but was able to get a table quickly. Bartenders were attentive. Dance floor started getting packed after 10pm. Overall good experience.

    There is a category of Los Angeles bar that exists outside the city's relentless cycle of openings…read moreand closings and soft launches and Instagram hype, a category that doesn't require a door policy or a design concept borrowed from a Wes Anderson film. It is the bar that walks in and earns the neighborhood's trust in a few short years, the bar that feels like it's been there forever because it figured out immediately what it was supposed to be. Tiny's Hi-Dive on Pico is that bar. It occupies the old Arsenal space, which if you've been in West LA long enough you watched go through its own identity crisis -- I had a trip-hop DJ residency there in a previous life, before it transmogrified into some paisley-wallpapered ersatz club that couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Tiny's has no such confusion. The name says dive. The floors say otherwise. The cocktails are made well, the food is made well, and the place is clean, which shouldn't be noteworthy but in a city where "dive bar" has become shorthand for either performative squalor or actual squalor, it is. It's a Chicago bar, which in Los Angeles means something specific. It means the hot dogs are correct. It means there are Italian beef sandwiches, and the Italian beef sandwiches are not a novelty item or a nod to a trend but an actual offering from people who understand the architecture of giardiniera and jus and thinly sliced beef on a roll that's engineered to get soggy at exactly the right rate. The food at Tiny's is way better than it has any right to be in a bar where nobody would blame you for ordering nothing but beer, and this is the tell -- when a bar kitchen is good without needing to be good, it means someone in the back actually gives a damn, not because the Yelp reviews demand it but because that's how they were raised. The happy hour lasts most of the day, which is either a business model or a philosophy, and at Tiny's the distinction is academic. The effect is that the place fills in waves and each wave brings a different crowd. The retirement set drifts in around lunch -- guys who've been coming here long enough to have a spot at the bar and a drink that appears without being ordered. By happy hour the mix gets eclectic: locals, people waiting out the particular misery of westbound Pico traffic at five-thirty, students, the kind of neighborhood cross-section that only happens at a place where a beer and a hot dog won't cost you twenty dollars. Later it gets busier and louder and on Wednesday nights there's live band karaoke, which is the superior form of karaoke, the form where actual musicians play behind you so your version of "White Wedding'" sounds ten percent less terrible than it would over a backing track. The jukebox is killer, which is a small detail that is not a small detail. A jukebox tells you everything about who owns a bar -- whether they trust their customers, whether they have taste, whether they understand that the difference between a good night and a great night is often just the right song at the right moment. The owners of Tiny's understand this. They are truly excellent people, the kind of owner-operators who are in the room and who care about the room and who have built a place that reflects something genuine about themselves rather than something calculated about the market. West Los Angeles is not a neighborhood that gets romanticized. It's a place you drive through, a stretch of Pico and Olympic and Santa Monica Boulevard that connects the Westside to the rest of the city, lined with strip malls and dry cleaners and the kind of mid-century commercial architecture that nobody photographs. It does not have a brand. It does not have a moment. What it has, on Pico, is Tiny's Hi-Dive -- a bar where they learn your dog's name before they learn yours, where there are treats behind the bar, where the bartenders will ask about your dog when you come in and mourn with you when they pass. That's not a pet policy. That's a value system. And it tells you everything you need to know about the place.

Don't make my almost mistake. First win: there's actually a solid sized parking lot. That alone deserves a shoutout. The food selection was way better than expected for a brewery. Not just the usual giant pretzels and mediocre bar food, they've got real options. Everything came out fast, hot, and really good. The pizza surprised me (in a good way), and the lemon pepper chicken hit exactly how it should without being overly greasy. Plenty of good beer choices, the service was great and the outdoor seating at sunset is a whole vibe. Also dog friendly, which made it even better, lots of cute pups around.

They'd been here before and let us know that things fill up fast mostly on these hot weather days in SoCal but there was still a good amount of seating. I would say by 3 pm it was pretty packed. Small parking lot, we got lucky with exiting parties. Food was better than expected ! Pizza was great, we had the Hawaiian, margarita, and spicy pepperoni with hot honey. Can't complain, all with a thick crust, fav was Hawaiian bc of the sweet tangy pineapple. Wings are bonus, I liked lemon pepper more than the saucy ones. Brews had a nice selection - they had fun flavors like pistachio, cucumber and guava. We did flights and overall, enjoyed it. Would come back!
