Old Town Patio - Regular Budlight and a Big Dog - Bars Near Me - El Segundo, California

I use to love to go here with my buddy and have a big dog beer for $6.25. But the last few times have been terrible by how the staff and customers have been treating us. We're just trying to sit down enjoy our beers and not get hassled but sure enough we get hassled. First Lady was super drunk serving us and giving us an Attitude and then the next lady serving us got so angry and demanded a tip and confronted us. By the way this is a cash only bar and we only had cash for the beer. She got so angry that she told the whole bar and her friends that they came up to us and started getting angry and wanting to fight. So unprofessional..... we will not be coming back here. read more

Friendly staff. Cold beer at good prices. Spacious patio that is rarely crowded. Unlike a reviewer below, I tend to bring enough money to not only pay my tab but also tip the workers. read more

Came here on a Friday with some friends from work for lunch and had a good time. Had a patty melt and a giant Newcastle brown ale. The beer is served in a huge icy, mug. The patty melt was good enough. We sat down outside in a nice, outdoor patio area. It was nice and breezy and the service was good. Would definitely come back for another beer. Might try another dish next time though. Pros: + Huge beers + Patio area + Good service Cons: - Patty melt could have used some fries on the side - Cash only read more

If I could give zero stars I would. The patio is not worth spending your money here. If you want to be harassed and discriminated against based on how you look, this is the place. The bartender Helen who served us was extremely rude and unprofessional. Aggressively demanding a tip after providing subpar service is embarrassing. To make things worse, when we sat down, an extremely rude woman proceeded to invite herself to sit with us along with her friend and son. The three of them, especially the woman went out to verbally attack us with vulgar language to the point that we felt uncomfortable and offended and left before we could finish our drinks. This place needs to be shut down. Treating people with disrespect and harassing your customers is completely unacceptable. Do yourself a favor, don't bother coming here. You'll just end up leaving mad that you paid money to be harassed by the servers and their people! read more

Had a night on the quiet town of El Segundo and went here on the recommendation of a friend who ends up here often. We made our way to the back patio and found some tables for our group and got down to business. The night was a bit of a blur, but I had a turkey reuben with no mayo, a cheese quesadilla, and 2 very big beers. The turkey reuben would have been much better if I asked for it with mustard, but it was still really good. Plenty of sauerkraut and turkey and nicely toasted bread. The quesadilla was standard but with the little extra of being served with a nice cup of standard, canned, salsa and a cup of guacamole that was half mashed up avocado and half chunks of avocado. Definitely not canned, definitely homemade with lots of avocado. That was a very nice touch indeed! I used a lot on my sammich. The beer I got was shocktop, a good hefe all around. But it was CHEAP! 11 bucks for 2 huge mugs, that's really good. Overall I was super pleased with the place. It had good bar food. No fryer, which was crazy, but just get a quesadilla on the side and you're not breaking the bank at all. Very nicely priced, great service although they could have come around a little bit more often. I'm a big fan. I love dive slash local places like this, and it might be one of my new favorite El Segundo hangouts. read more

Old Town Patio - Frosty mug of Shocktop - Bars Near Me - El Segundo, California

Cheapest beer in the south bay, huge sunny back patio, and great breakfast burritos on the weekends. Staff is easy going & bar is full of retirees and locals. read more

This is the best bar in town, inexpensive, no parking hassles and some of the friendliest people on earth. Sit outside and enjoy the sunshine, have a big cold one and enjoy life! I recommend the Turkey Club or the Turkey Santa Fe but really most things are excellent. The burgers are also REALLY good! They do not have a fryer so no Chips or Onion Rings. They do have pretty good Wings though. (Order them Well Done!) read more

I'm from out of town but my friend recommended this place for a beer outside. Fantastic! We split two chicken sandwiches and they were the best ones I've ever had. We even ordered one to go. The beers are gigantic, the outdoor seating is perfect, and the service was exceptional. It was Christmas Eve and the bartender had made some cookies for anyone in the restaurant. They don't serve fries at all, but it doesn't even matter. Every time I come to visit I'll definitely make it a point to stop here. read more

Old Town Patio - Beers the size of my head - Bars Near Me - El Segundo, California

Enjoyable neighborhood bar. They have two different sized burgers on the menu, 1/3 lb and 1/2 lb. If their 1/2 lb burger is 1/2 of a pound, then McDonald's 1/4 pounder is 1/16th of a pound. Very nice sized burger, cooked fresh and served hot. They know how to cook a burger as the juices slowly drip out as you pick it up to eat it. Keep it over the basket if you don't want some on your shirt. Nice to see a place that doesn't squeeze the juice out of a burger when they are cooking it. Lunch crowd is fairly quiet inside but if they get too noisy for you, the patio out back is a welcome retreat. During my lunch, it was quiet with only the sound of Sports Center in the background and a couple of private conversations going on at the bar. As noted in other reviews, they do not have french fries however if you get the 1/2 lb burger, you probably don't need them. They do have chips if you want something salty. For a divey neighborhood bar, it's kept pretty clean. The carpet is old but the bar surface was very clean when I was there. For those skiddish to go into a new place, I don't think you'll be nervous once you've inside. Definitely blue collar lunch crowd but when I was there, it was quiet and everyone kept to themselves. However, there was only one woman on the outside of the bar and a female bartender. Worth a try if you like a good burger, hope you're experience is as good as mine. Enjoy! read more

Serene casual daytime atmosphere, patio area is spacious, private and sunny. I was looking forward to a great burger and beer and was surprised by: no fries available, cash only, high price for theee mushiest burger ever to confront my prestidigitation skills. Wow, they can manage a decent sturdy soft roll at McD's, INandOUT, actually anywhere, but here. Recommend for a secret hideout in the rear patio, ONE IPA on tap, sedate atmosphere for peace and quiet, accommodating servers, easy parking, and their famous Pepper Plant sauce, YUM! read more

Nathan J. and Mike M. don't know what they're talking about (they don't tip waitresses). The old town patio is 100% a 5 star bar and I recommend it to everyone. Everyone there is super nice and the food and beer is really really good. read more

No frills, just big tap beers. The patio outback is very large and sunny, nice to kick back and relax. There's an electronic dart board and the Dodger games are always on here. Very chill. read more

Very local dive bar. Cash only is a drawback and a reason I don't make it in here too often despite the fact that there are only a handful of bars in El Segundo. The bartender that works when I come in is really nice though and they have a spacious back patio as the name implies, so it can be a decent place to hang out if you have a magazine or some friends to chat with. I guess I don't generally prefer dive bars though, so my 2 star rating draws largely on the ambiance and cash only factors. If these, and the almost exclusively male audience are things you don't mind, then you might not mind Old Town Patio. read more

On a Sunday, came to the large patio that you can reserve for private parties. El Segundo is weird. It's 1950s middle America Mayberry surrounded by LAX, Chevron, and a Sewage Plant. There were anti Obama stickers in here. Really? Cheap good beers. But I don't know how the food was because they decided to stop serving food at 4p. They said that's when the kitchen closed. But they never told the party renters this fact. We heard later that they wanted to close the kitchen because there were too many people ordering food. So which was it? read more

They only serve beer. They close at 10PM. It's cash only. And it's great. Huge patio outside, small town atmosphere inside. Friendly people, rarely crowded. They serve food but I've never tried it. 32 oz beer for $5. read more

This isn't a place to come if you're in a rush to get in and out; it can be quite popular and crowded at noon, especially when the weather is nice (which it often is). Rather, it's a place to sit back, relax, have a drink and a bag of chips while you're waiting for your food to come out, and enjoy the Southern California sunshine. After a long absence, salmon burgers are back on the menu, which are both healthy AND tasty. Another new item, their Greek chicken sandwich, is a favorite of my wife's. And any sandwich or burger can be put onto a salad if you don't want it on a bun or bread. They sure could use a deep fryer (although I understand all of the problems that restaurants have with disposing of used cooking oil). Coffee for us non-alcohol drinkers, especially on those cold days out on the patio during the winter, would be nice, too. read more

It's funny reading reviews of people who complain about the location or about the food being "bar" food. They shouldn't have entered the door. Duh - it's a BAR with food. This is a patio in the back of a dive-y looking bar that ONLY takes CASH. Not to worry, they have an ATM in the Bar. The bar is full of locals from ES and Chevron and is strictly a blue-collar crowd. Don't go there thinking that you will have a "dining experience". Here is the reason to go: burgers and beer and very cheap! Burger for $5 and a whole schooner of beer for $5! The patio is surprisingly large (walk through the back of the bar). Reminds me of some of the places that I used to love in Baja. The waitresses are awesome! They don't take crap though, so respect them and you will get great service. So kick back, have a brew - and lose the attitude. You will like it here. read more

Older bar that does not serve french fries. All food is cooked on the barbecue. The evening chef is amazing considering what he has to deal with. "Karna the Bartender" is awesome. She is super attentive. Very helpful. And always remembers your name. However, the owner is a nightmare. Every time I am here, she is wasted and drunk. Very inappropriate. Says things that an owner should never say. The best thing would be to replace the owner. My God. Horrible. read more

Hilarious! This is a true dive with a "locals only" vibe however the locals are friendly, funny, great story tellers and looking to have a good time. No divey hipster crap here. The bartender was very attentive and friendly and the drinks were cheap! Blue Moon, Lagunitas IPA and a PBR set me back $13. They had bar dice and having spent some time in Milwaukee, it was refreshing to see people get drunk, laugh, belt out tunes from the juke box and play a simple, yet addicting game. Its a great stop if you doing the Tour de El Segundo pub crawl PS I would not bring anyone who is uptight here **CASH ONLY read more

Oh no! They don't take cards! WTH?! Sorry, any business that won't accept credit/debit cards loses MAJOR points with me. It's 2015 FFS. Get with the programme. I don't expect my customers to pay with cash...and I certainly don't expect to NEED cash at a brick-n-mortar place. Gotta say...overall...it's a great place. Four stars. The staff if great. The prices are not terrible... BUT the fact that they do not accept credit cards is acceptable. read more

I've been working in El Segundo for the better part of a decade and I've never eaten here... until today. I ordered the 1/4 pastrami burger and a full wings and I was very pleasantly surprised. The pastrami burger is dayam good, it comes medium rare (well mine was) and wrapped up in foil. The burger reminds me a lot of a Five Guys burger but perhaps every tastier because of the added touch of pastrami. The wings were ok, they weren't spicy so I refuse to call them hot wings but they're juicy and plump and still good in that disappointing non-spicy way. I'd say if you're in the mood for a burger this is a great place to stop by. read more

Old Town Patio - Thick wings but not very spicy. - Bars Near Me - El Segundo, California

Neighborhood dive bar with cheap beers, great burgers, and friendly service. I got HUGE beer the size of my head for $6! The inside of the bar is pretty dated and divey, but I love the outside patio - very spacious and chill. Would definitely recommend for a chill daytime burger and beer hangout. read more

3 rd time around and enjoyed it !! Must come out and check them out , thank you for the service n great

Ugh, I don't understand the allure of this place. Maybe it's the beer, surely not the overpriced food and service. I ordered the chili burger...it was mediocre at best. Save your money. read more

I live in West LA, but I found myself wandering around El Segundo looking for a snack after getting a beer at El Segundo Brewing. This place looks delightfully divey from the outside, so my husband and I stopped in for beer and food. I'm gonna be honest, the menu looked pretty bad. I don't eat bread, and the only options on the menu were burgers and sandwiches. We had already ordered beers, so I asked if they had fries (off menu?). Nope. Bartender says the kitchen makes everything fresh, and has nothing to fry in, just a grill. Then I noticed the wings on the menu. They're not fried, so they can't be breaded. I took a chance and ordered them. Oh. My. God. These wings. Honestly, I swear to god, these are some of the best wings I have ever had in my life. I was shocked. I couldn't stop eating them. Perfectly crispy (grilled!!) skin, amazing spice rub, and they had like twice the meat on them as any other restaurant's wings! Go JUST FOR THE WINGS. The beer's also super cheap, they have pinball, and right now women's shirts are only $5 with beer purchase! We were inside, but the outside patio looked like a great place to spend a sunny day or evening. read more

I absolutely LOVE The Patio! El Segundo has some really great bars tucked away and this is one of them. No fruity cocktails with umbrellas, no happy hour, no techno crap music, just HUGE glasses of ice cold beer for $5 and a great patio you can lounge and smoke. Now that's my idea of a bar! read more

This place is in a great little area of El Segundo. The area looks like it dates back to 90 yrs ago . Who knew El Segundo had this kind of charm in the shadow of the Chevron Refinery? Well, it was the oil company that built the town, then Standard Oil. This refinery was Standard Oil's second facility, hence the name, El Segundo (The Second). Enough of the trivia lesson. -Beer bar with a divey feel...not a bad thing. -Definitely get a lot of people wondering who you are when you walk in if you're not a local. -They are friendly natives! -Food is surprisingly good! -Spacious patio in the back for enjoying a nice day. I'd come back. There was an enthusiastic crowd watching the Master's Tournament and ignoring the Baseball game. I'm not a gold fan but at least the crowd had interest in more than looking tough in the douchebag Affliction shirts. read more

This place is definitely worth checking out . Our bartender Karna was outstanding . She was sweet ,attentive , and very welcoming . With her being the only bartender, she was busy but always checked in to see that we had everything we needed . Going above and beyond which made everything that much better .The food was awesome the burgers are pretty damn good! My husband had the Ortega burger with the pepper plant hot sauce . He said it was the ""sh!+" pardon the language . I had the sliders and they were Delish. They were served on Hawaiian rolls and boy were they yummy! The beer is ice cold served in huge glass mugs . They have a big outdoor patio, nice setup with table ,umbrellas and water fountains . The Bar area had a few tv's with sports on . The ambience was nice everyone seemed friendly . If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend ! read more

I've gone to Old Town Patio a few times when the neighboring Richmond's was closed, and a couple times with workmates for team meetings. This is a good, no-nonsense bar with some decent food, and great drink prices. Having a patio is always a nice addition, as it makes for a great area for friends to sit around, have some drinks and some smokes. I had the salmon burger the last few times I was there--not on the menu at the time, but still available. It hit the spot. I've never seen this place crowded, and there is always plenty of room to join a few tables together and fit in a larger crowd. If ever just looking for a place to lounge around and kick back some drinks, this place will not disappoint. Cash only. read more

Giant cold beers! Need I say more????? Super great prices on beers and food. Hole in the wall local joint with a friendly vibe and generous staff.

Thanks Michael for your great service. Cheers! read more

We moved here 6 weeks ago, thought I found my new bar until we saw the owner. Shauna was beyond drunk and yelling at customers. We watched her kick someone out for asking something about their receipt and we haven't been back since. The place seems OK for a small town dive bar, nothing special, but Shauna was wasted every time I've seen her there. There are so many bars around here, we decided we don't want to support this one since the owner doesn't act like she cares or wants customers. I have never seen a server or bartender act the way she did with so many customers. They'd be fired on the spot! read more

This is one of my favorite hangouts for a laid back lunch with my coworkers on a beautiful Friday, which are thankfully quite common here in So Cal. I've been here dozens of times and have only ever sat on the large back patio, never in the indoor bar area. Seems to be popular with both the Chevron blue collar workforce and the local aerospace white collar workers. Friday's recurring specials feature chili, by itself or on a burger, hot dog, or a plate of Fritos. The chili's okay, but I almost always crave either the Patio Burger (1/4 or 1/2 lb burger topped with a big tasty spicy sausage) or the Pastrami Burger (1/4 or 1/2 burger topped with a pile of thick-cut, tasty, lean pastrami). Oh, yeah! I keep forgetting to look at the changing specials on the ardoise, but I usually know what I want before I get there anyway. And of course, a large cold drink to wash it all down makes the experience complete. It's more than just a restaurant. It's a lifestyle. read more
