Scotland Yard - Pubs Near Me - Canoga Park, California

I live walking distance and can view the alternations and have called the police myself. This bar shows little regard for the ongoing physical and verbal fights that occur near its exit in the alley. Almost every week there is an altercation in the back exit in the alley. On a previous occasion, a woman was assaulted. Despite these incidents appearing to stem from their establishment, the staff neither call the police nor attempt to intervene or help. You would think they would take action to prevent situations that not only endanger people but also reflect poorly on their business. Why is there no security? While I understand that adults are responsible for their own actions, standing by and doing nothing only enables the problem. read more

Great vibe and experience, classic music food fun altogether, live and was outstanding (ZeroMagik and others that played that night) keep supporting live music and friendly environment read more

Low key bar only offering beer and wine and seltzer's. There's a guy up front who sells Monte Christo and burgers. Service is nice and they have a pool table and karaoke nights! read more

People should not be allowed to practice on loud instruments when customers are around. There is a huge difference between loud music and noise. read more

Great service drinks and experience! We will definitely go back again next time we are in LA.

Come in for a great beer and some pool. Old school charm and has been here for years. read more

Scotland Yard - Scotland Yard. Come in for a great beer and some pool. - Pubs Near Me - Canoga Park, California

This place is a lot of fun. Especially on the weekends, you can expect to find some live music, pool, darts, and some amazing beers on tap. If you want to catch a good game during happy hour it's a great spot too. There is no food but you can grab a bite at the local Jerry Pizza next door if you feeling hungry and head back over for your favorite beer and fun!! read more

We must have come on a bad night, they only serve beer and wine, no hard liquor (we were aggressively told to go to the place next store if we wanted hard alcohol, odd for a pub). The only people here were old perverts who got upset because we used the single pool table while they were all outside doing god knows what. Strange crowd, and the guy working seemed to hate his life and couldn't care less that we were there (keep in mind the place was completely empty, we were the ONLY people inside). I feel bad that he had to deal with the gross people outside, so I don't blame him. Normally the Scottish/Irish pubs are the best but this one will be a no go from now on, better off going to a hotel bar down the street. I'll add this for the women, don't go here if you don't like old men getting too close to you. read more

Pretty fun spot why not check it out! Just went there an had a good time it's pretty chill and some great Guinness

Ok....here is the lastest update....new hardwood floors replaced the oldddddddddd carpet.... Much better look and smell. Hahahahaha....plus they have free WiFi.... They are also introducing some new hard ciders on draft and have been brining in some new beers on a rotating basis... Oh yenta they brought back pitchers... Plus dont forget the weekly live bands that come read more

I freaking love this bar. Me and all my friends have been customers to this establishment for years and I'm so glad to have met so many awesome people here I now call my friends! I'm even a part of a kick ball group every Wednesday now because of meeting such cool individuals . If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Great crowd, awesome bartenders and their livening up the place by bringing in the younger crowd with live band and games nights!! This place just gets better and better !! read more

I would leave zero stars because the blonde manager flicked a bottle cap at me and it hit me in the throat. She then laughed about it. Totally unprofessional, disrespectful and a huge liability for Scotland Yard. I wish there was a number I could call to complain about it directly. read more

This place is dope. Came in today trying to find somewhere cool to have some drinks for my boyfriends birthday. Pizza, thai, and a deli next door you can order and eat while you chill. The bartender was a really nice guy was very attentive. Definitely going to be coming back and trying the other place he suggested JJ Sullivans. read more

Scotland Yard - Pubs Near Me - Canoga Park, California

COME HERE FOR GAME NIGHT!!!! Spencer is the absolute best and I have been coming to the Scotland Yard for roughly around 3 years now. Every single Monday there is game night which includes a ton of different video games (mostly smash bro's) It's what I look forward to during my work week when all else seems dismal. Come check it out and have a good time with us on Monday game nights. read more

I was having a great time with my friends there and when it came time for my friends to leave I was alone. The bartender asked why I wasn't talking to anyone and I said it is because I am shy and then he said no personality got it! I didn't appreciate that read more

First time at this bar as a 25 year old. Classy bar for the valley. Heads up, beer is only bottled but they have a pretty good selection. Danny the bar tender is great. Super polite poring my beer into a cold glass for me. Beer seems cheaper than other bars. Chill place, more old fashion, spacious, relaxed lighting, pool table, book area) I will be coming here more often, Yelp reviews don't do it justice. read more

a tiny dive in the middle of nowhere, but what a great place. Music is perfect, not to loud, and not to soft Perfect attitude from the staff and every one seems to be genuinely happy to be here. Decor is all about English Cop Bars, Very simple but elegant at the same time. I can imagine Sherlock Holmes drinking in the corner with Dr Watson. Highly recommend, and plan to be there this week. read more

$5 dollar Guinness. I could end my review there, but I'll continue to talk about how awesome this place is. Music, amazing. As a former hipster it is hard to admit this but I had to Shazaam some classic funk from the 70's that I had never heard but was vibing, Bowie, Ramones, MGMT, Sublime, and the Clash, the music was dank. 7 dollar 22 oz fat tire, 15 dollar pitchers, and free darts, what more could you ask for. I hate to say this, my only problem with this bar is the Valley local riff raff that try to hustle you on the pool table or clown your dart game. The girls there are also usually... I hate to say this, fat. I'm sorry, tie me to a stake. But it's because fat chicks like beer and are usually down to earth, so there, maybe it's a good sign. Come with friends, leave drunk and happy. Parking is out back, don't get sketched out by the locals, they've never bothered me too much. Oh yea, if you're a smoker there's a drink slot on the door so you can basically take your drink out as far as the door and not leave it at the bar. read more

See all

Truly a fun little bar with a great mix of people ... Sometimes live punk rock bands on the weekends... No attitudes or drama just good times .... Seems like some reviewers on here have a personal axe to grind .... My wife and I went there last weekend.... Had a great time.... Cool underground punk and metal bands .... The DJ spinning music you would never hear anywhere else ... A great mix of friendly people ..... We had a blast !! read more

I was never a person who ever really enjoyed bars or pubs, but my experience at Scotland Yard changed that. The bar tender the night I was their had really been friendly, professional, and quick with his service. This bar was the place that opened me up to wanting to give bars and breweries a chance. read more

Fun place to hear some good live music. There was no cover charge and the drinks were reasonably priced. There was plenty of street parking available. read more

Amazing service and incredible drink selections!!! Chill ppl and chill vibes! I'm sitting here watching "chucky:child's play" on one flatscreen and "it" on the other. The place looks amazing after the remodel! Man cave Monday's is amazing! Ps4 and Xbox one games hit the spot after a long day at work! Wednesday night karaoke nights have me looking forward to the middle of the week now! I absolutely love this place! read more

Scotland Yard - Pubs Near Me - Canoga Park, California

This is a true dive bar, beer and wine only. During the day it's mostly older Brits, even the bartender Martin a Scot. Recently they've cleaned up the place a lot it, probably because they were selling the bar, but it's still a dive. Some odd reviews here claiming it's a skinhead bar which is ridiculous since it's a very friendly place.I've seen way more black guys in there than skinheads. One reviewer even took offense at being told they needed to go to Caseys [50 yds away] if they wanted a cocktail, weird. Another upset because they had to wait a whole three minutes to get served! UPDATE It's now owned by a bloke from Dublin that's done a great job updating the place. It used to smell of stale beer, but no more. The bathrooms are nice and clean unlike before. Overall a huge improvement. read more

I love this place fun bar good people good prices been going here for years I love the beer they have on top and the service is always really friendly I highly recommend this place to anybody in the West hills area. read more

One of the funnest bars I've ever been to. It's kind of a local bar and it has a very old-school feel. Great for hanging out with friends and catching up with old buddies in the Canoga Park West Hills area. There's always cool live music and a stacked jukebox. I love the Boddington's ale which is hard to find in other bars. And they have a killer pool table and darts. It's a good time, cheers read more

Awesome dive bar that's perfect to grab a few drinks at if your at The Cobalt cause its right next door! I've been here a handful of times and every time it's been a good experience drinks aren't too pricey they have pool, darts, and live music sometimes previously i saw Morning Glory and it was a great time! Definitely will be back to grab a brew here before or after a show! read more

So, Ever wonder what happen to the kids you went to school with that thought they were different. Some thought they were punk, some thought they were goth, etc. Well come to this place and you'll run into all of them. Girls overly tatted, guys overly pierced (yes I said that in the right order). Everyone listening to distorted music chatting about nonsense. If you feel like being crammed into a small room standing next to the weird kid from your old high school photo shop class then this is the place for you. I am willing to bet that 95% of the people that come here used to go to the Cobalt cafe next door when they were younger to watch sh*ty garage bands. Now that they are older and everyone they know that had a band is some 30 year old that sleeps on moms couch only to get up and head to this place. Bottom line This place sucks a*s read more

Really small bar, which is why it always feels like it's overcrowded. $4-5 beers and you can even get $1 shots of hot sake (or a bottle of 6 shots for $5). They only serve beer and wine here, but you can always walk on over to Casey's a few doors down for some hard liquor. The crowd can be a hit or a miss. Surprisingly there are some very cute girls here once in a while. The bartenders are pretty cool and if you can find a seat this place is pretty chill. P.S. After 9pm the entrance is near the parking lot, in the back of the bar. read more

Oh, "the yard." You wonderfully terrible beer bar that wasn't cool, even when I was 21, but is the venue of so many nights that I would rather forget. Cheap beer, a strange mix of people and dirty that's been there so long that it looks like a paint job. The Yard is one of those west valley staples. If you, at any point, lived in or near Woodland Hills/Canoga Park, you remember this place. You've probably been here many times. And each time that you arrived, you wondered why you came back. I can answer that for you. The Yard is one of the few dives that really embraces it's epic diveyness (not a work, but appropriate here; if you don't understand that, you're too young to be reading bar reviews). The Yard is made of AIDS. It carries with it the residue of glorious 1-night-stands that began here and were regretted the next morning. I've drank gallons of beer there, puked in that bathroom on at least 2 occasions I remember and even had a patron show a good friend of mine the "Lipton" tattoo on his... junk. Despite all this, I will love this bar forever. Not because its great, but because it The Yard. I no longer puke in dive bar toilets or have 1-night-stands begin at a dive bar, but I can always count on The Yard for a few beers and a lot of laughs at the expense of young people doing exactly what I did so many years ago. read more

I give it 4 stars for the hot ass guys I've seen here, other then that I have no reason to return!

I'm a dive bar kind of girl. Scotland Yard is right up my alley! Arriving already drunk off margaritas, Scotland Yard was just what I needed to relax and wrap my lips around a beer. Our second bar hop stop of the night, Scotland Yard is British police themed and the place is cluttered with related paraphernalia. I especially like the London sky line light up wall right behind the bar. Another cool thing I noticed is that the stools are empty kegs with comfy cushions stuck on top! There's pool, darts, and they had a DJ who played Talking Heads, so he was alright by me! They serve only beer, and I think some wine, which I thought was kind of refreshing. Know where to stop to get a beer in a no fuss environment. I got a pint of Sierra Nevada for about $5...yes I've been to cheaper places, but this is a fairer price then many places. Yes I'm a fan of Scotland Yard, and I'd definitely come back. read more

Good cold beer, cheap prices on pitchers, friendly bartender, lots of memorabilia.. all you could ask for in a british pub. This would be a great place to watch a soccer match.. Must be crazy during World Cup A great jukebox, pool table, darts round out this little gem. And lots of old time regulars who make you feel welcome and not like you're intruding on their little hideaway read more

I used to come here a lot with friends and just the other day we decided we need another change from our local bars! I love how they have updated to hardwood floors! Thats the first thing I notice! This makes the smell of old carpet disappear! They have a DJ playing 90s Jams and spinning new hip hop songs. This is a great place to relax and drink away your problems for cheap. They carry different beers on draft and/or bottle. They have one pool table and tarts. But, the pool table is always packed. Maybe with all the regulars, that come here often. They also have tart tournaments on Mondays..? I will make another stop soon. Not in my priority list, but will go if I get invited. read more

Um...I have NO IDEA why this place has a four-star average rating. Have you people been inside this place? I'm sorry, but beer kegs covered in just enough stained red fabric so that you aren't literally sitting on the keg - but can feel it digging into your ass - is not my idea of a good time. The beer was fine, I was never offered a 22 oz. glass although that's all I wanted after a long night at work. Instead, probably because of my small frame, the bartender kept serving me these small beers without allowing me the chance to tell him to PLEASE GIVE ME THE LARGER GLASS! I went on "punk rock" Tuesdays because a friend of mine is into that music. I felt like I was trapped in the Cobalt Cafe's parent's house. In fact, I'm convinced that after everyone goes through their awkward punk rock phase in high school and attend shows at the Cobalt, they graduate and move directly next door to The Scotland Yard! Everyone was dressed very scene except for me...I was definitely the only female in high heels that weren't Doc Martin-style boots up to my knees. After the bartender told me to "drink up and get the fuck out" I gladly got myself out of there as quickly as possible. I am sure I'll never go back there either. I almost invited a friend and I'm glad I didn't because it was that junky of a dive. This place is in dire need of renovation. Some new carpet and refurbished seating may help their shappy appearance. In the pub's defense, my British brother-in-law LOVES this place because it reminds him so much of getting a pint back home in London. read more

Great selection of beers & ales. Always friendly staff when I've stopped in. Casual & friendly by day, but packed shoulder to shoulder with early 20 somethings by night. Usually DJ music, but I've seen small jazz fusion ensembles packed into the corner too. I like the Scotland Yard. KROTCH HAMILTON, Lounge Lizard read more

Ooooh I love this place... This place really reminds me of those small - hidden pubs in the shady streets of Londoon... It's so stuffy and.. well, proper (dive bar)! Cheap drinks, great music.. I've been here on a Thursday once and they had the coolest band playing. Smallest of stage, more like a ramp and the guy was playing a double bass.. wicked, huhh?? Seems that there's a mix of a crowd here and generaly just a marry/ jolly athmosphere... The bartenders are always nice and helpful and the 'dudes' outside are funny cool too.... Deffo on muy top 5 places in the valley.. Who fancies a drink?? "Newcky Brown Please" cheers read more

Oh good lord, as an Englishman and a life long pub enthusiast this place takes divey to the new level of just plain dirty. If they spruced this place up a bit, even dusted occasionally the atmosphere could shine through, come on whoever owns this make a minimal effort. There is no reason to go here whatsoever unless you are a deluded hipster who thinks you are having some hip, dusty, smelly experience. Kind of place you inspect your glass for dirt. I don't know how this place survives. Not particularly friendly either, it has that typical Brit attitude -- I should know -- that they are doing you a favor by serving you. Walk in and be instantly depressed, plus there are no women who will venture here so why go? Go to the White Harte instead much more fun and not a health hazard. read more

Not a bad spot. Good selection of beers, gnats all over the place. Dirty bathroom. Ageless freaks. Sometimes there's live music. Everything you'd want out of a pub. read more

Without a doubt the best British pub in the SF Valley. So what if it's a dive? Like somebody else said you'll always find somebody you know here. Full of real people and "hardly" ever any poseurs. read more
