Alex is the best bartender here. He always greets us with a good attitude and is attentive. Plus he makes the best drinks!

Getting my fix. Why haven't I been here before?

Excited this place is so close to my parent's house. Stopped by for a quick drink and a few games of pool. Kim, the bartender was really nice and definitely someone I would randomly come visit. Like that I can order food from next door and bring it in. Okay, I know this is a weird thing to like about this place, but when I went to the restroom, I like that they had a rail where I can put my phone or drink. As a woman, I always have to figure out where to put my phone down. I also worry about leaving my drink unattended. Thought that was brilliant and more bars should do the same. I guess they have karaoke on some nights and they were also going to be showing the UFC fight. Chill place to be in Downey. Will make it a point of stopping by next time I'm in town.

Jamison and Ginger ale.

Great spot, but Wednesdays are the best! I come here just for the bartender, Gadget--fun, friendly, and always brings great energy. The music is on point, the drinks are excellent, and the vibe is just right. Highly recommend stopping by, especially midweek!

It was bound to happen ! It's been a crazy week!

Small please 85% of men. Considering returning on karaoke night, just because I need to know. I'll give my real review then. Tonight it was like Walking into a time capsule and returning back to 1995. Which is usually a cool place to visit. Just not tonight. I liked the advertising /Promotion monitors. Good service and Friendly staff.

Cool bar, like the decor. It's very small and sometimes people hog the pool tables but, it's a cool place to pregame.

Five Stars for Kuduowl! Owner and bartender extraordinaire Amanda Colom, her business partners &…read moretheir staff have created an amazing bar that showcases creative and original drinks. There are about 6 talented bartenders who work the bar and each of them bring a unique portfolio to mixology. Let's get back to Amanda! One of my friends who was visiting from Hawaii found Amanda on social media and asked that I take her to Kuduowl to experience this unique mixology. We were greeted warmly by Amanda and she explained the concept of the bar and the drink options. All were absolutely beautifully crafted and served! Delicious! I had a drink a few years ago (Sloe Gin Ramos) and not many bartenders know how to make it, nor do they want to take the time to make it. Amanda and Chris jumped right in and made it (takes 10-15 minutes to make). It was delicious and the preparation was a show! Loved it. All bartenders, servers, and bar backs were working in unison, like an orchestra. You could tell they all enjoyed their jobs and coworkers! It made for a beautiful ambiance. The bar welcomes everyone - from old to young, from gay to straight, and a rainbow of diversity of ethnic backgrounds! This has to be my favorite bar in Southern California! Bravo Amanda & team!

All bartenders are real mixologists. Cody was a reason we have kept coming back but Luis and Birdy have just added more to the experiencia. As recommendation do come before 10p because they do have a cover fee for the club which will also give access to upstairs which is Kuduowl. As for parking it will be on the street for the most part they have a lot to park at a cost as well. Great place overall and service.

My favorite nights are Thursday and Sunday for karaoke but lately they've been having actual karaoke contest on Saturday night. Last contest was $500 in prizes. Next week, $1000 in prizes. If you're secretly a rockstar now, is your chance to shine! This is not only for perfect singers. Karaoke is for everybody that has the balls to grab that microphone and sing your life. Epic is a safe place that wants you to have a good time. I absolutely love everybody that works here. The place is a total vibe! Great place to have a midweek birthday party who doesn't love a karaoke birthday party! The space is also available for private events. #5StarsEveryTime.

Let me preface by saying I believe the point of karaoke is to simply have fun and enjoy singing. But, you should also be treated with RESPECT. Whoever this dude was when I asked him if he could pitch my song up or down said he didn't have time for this and proceeded to just pick a random video off his youtube app. Honestly, singer or not, I find this to be incredibly disrespectful. You should be trying to make your clients have a good time and make them feel special. Otherwise, you're just a dude playing youtube videos off your phone. If you want good Karaoke, go to Same Ol Saloon. They'll treat you with respect.
