    This place was vibe. It does seem to attract the younger hipster crowds. Pooped in for a drink after dinner, the since a security guard in-front. He informed us that pretty much all the tables were reserved and that only bar seating or standing was available. It was about 8pm Saturday night... The place isn't that big but does have a cool vibes. They offer karaoke which I believe happens to be every night. It's a full bar and I did noticed that they had pizza. Not sure if it's just that or there's other food available. Crowd was fun singing along with everyone. The bartender, she was sweet and very friendly with the sweetest smile. If you have a big group, I assume book a table.

    I spent hours here on yelp looking for a fun place to celebrate my birthday and nothing called out to me. Then boom! I called to see what was on the calendar for a Tuesday night and Maurie (sp?), told me about the music open mic! She was so sweet! She sold me on celebrating here with 13 girlfriends. I made a reservation with Joey who runs the open mic & music acts later that night. We had the BEST TIME EVER!!! Ordered a bunch of pizzas for everyone to munch on. It was perfect. Hannah took care of our drink orders & pizzas at the bar. BTW - Her Berry margaritas were delicious. I got to meet Joey after the show. She came over to our table to say hello! The inside is very rustic and dark with leather booths. They serve free popcorn and have a full service bar featuring a variety of tequilas. *They only serve Pizza: cheese, pepperoni, sausage, combo, mushroom & truffle w/garlic sauce. (The pizza was good) *Gluten free pizza available *Small parking lot located next to the tavern. *Staff is very friendly & nice! *Call or check out the website for the weekly events!

    TV's to watch sports.

    The Oaks Tavern is a cool little neighborhood dive bar. It you're a beer drinker this is your spot because they have a vast selection of Craft Beers (16 taps & 20+ bottles). They also have some enticing specialty cocktails too. The story of how Camila founded this bar is fantastic. #GirlPower #SupportWomenOwned I recently came here to celebrate Yelp's favorite social butterfly, Te-See's birthday. Hannah was the bartender on duty, and she was awesome! When we got there it was fairly empty but as the night went on the place started to fill up and Hannah managed it like a pro. Making drinks and delivering pizza to tables with a friendly smile and cheerful demeanor. I had the JaJa Blackberry Margarita with a sugar rim, and it was tasty - a perfect balance of tart & sweet. One of the cool things about this place, if you want to buy someone a drink they will hand you a drink ticket so the person can redeem it when they are ready for another. In terms of food, they only offer pizza. (Gluten free also available.) Several were ordered for the table - Cheese & Pepperoni. Judging by the crust I'm fairly sure it was frozen pizza. However, it smelled good, and the cheese pizza was tasty. Free popcorn is available too. They also let you bring in food. Our hostess with the mostess brought fresh salad to go along with our pizza and, of course, there was cake! Tuesday night is Open Mic Night, which starts at 7:30 p.m. The talent line up was impressive, and the performances were enjoyable. I would absolutely come back here. It's a great place for getting together with friends, watch sports, or just hang solo. The regulars are a friendly bunch, and you'll most likely make a friend or two. *Karaoke nightly. Monday: Comedy Night 7:30 - 9:30 pm, Tuesday: Open Mic Night 7:30 - 9:30 pm, Sunday Trivia Night: 5 - 7 p.m. *HH Mon - Fri 6 - 7 pm / Late night HH Sun - Thurs 10:30 - 11:30 pm *Small parking lot or street parking.

    We had such a fun time at Open Mic night. A dozen musicians signed up to perform their music. This provided the perfect backdrop for a birthday gathering. It was Te-see's pizza party and celebration for her birthday! Hannah was our server and bartender! We had fabulous service and a good time. This place conveniently located off the 101 freeway is very popular to meetup in a casual environment. They allowed us to bring in salad and cake, which is much appreciated and added to our good time of drinks, laughter, food and entertainment.

    Had an amazing time here on Sunday at their Trivia and Karaoke night! I met up with some friends who had scored a table early right by the stage. I took some time to admire the quirky decor which really felt unique and unlike any bar I've been to. It wasn't super crowded and I was able to order a drink without having to wait for the bartender. I noticed that there were specials and since I love limited time items, I opted for the strawberry margarita. I'm not sure why I thought it would be a blended drink but it was served on the rocks, which was still very refreshing on a hot summer night. It was very affordable at just $11. It was just strong enough while balancing the strawberry syrup. Everyone there was so friendly and the entertainment was superb. Both the trivia and karaoke hosts were fantastic and so engaging. Bonus was that my friend won a free vanilla vodka shot, which I got to try and really enjoyed! Another bonus was the free popcorn which was so fresh and flavorful! Parking wasn't too tricky as there were spots on both Woodman and Magnolia, just a short walk away!

I've come here a few times to watch various…read moresports games with friends and the bartenders are fast with serving drinks and taking orders and are attentive, even when it's so busy! How awesome! It does get a bit rowdy (in a not awful way!) during game time and it's definitely a vibe. I appreciate how open it is - you can be out on Ventura and get some fresh air or inside close to all the tvs! But what's not to beat are the $5 burgers for happy hour on Monday nights! I thought they'd be plain burgers - nope! They have different ones! A Texas burger with bbq sauce, a few others and I got the garlic burger with parmesan fries. Yum!

As noted below, we knew they were busy and expected delays, but other servers were moving and ours wasn't. I will give them another shot and so should you. If you go there on a busy day and don't get served in a timely fashion, go and tell them. You shouldn't have to, but sometimes you must. Thank you Jason. Here on a busy World Cup game day, so we can expect delays. But it was much worse than that. Ordered appetizers that were warm on the outside and cold as ice inside. Our server completely ignored us and instead asked multiple other tables how they were doing. Only came by once an hour and then it was due to me asking another server to help. Will not be coming back, service was lousy and you got the tip you deserved. Oh, and it wasn't so much about them being busy as many other servers were hustling and making sure customers were ok. It just happens that our server was useless. There is no excuse.

My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday for a quick drink before a movie, and the "vibe" was non-existent. They have four TVs at the bar, but the setup was bizarre, two were completely off and another was just frozen on a directory logo. The biggest issue, however, is the cleanliness--or lack thereof. The place is incredibly dirty. It feels like it hasn't had a deep clean in weeks, maybe longer. The bar top was disgusting, the floors were grimy, and even the woodwork looked like it hadn't seen a rag since opening day. They are charging $17 for "signature cocktails," which is bold for a spot that feels like a neglected dive bar. If you're going to charge premium prices, you have to at least wipe down the countertops. Service-wise, the bartender was friendly enough but low energy and minimal level of service. To make matters worse, a shift change happened while we were there, and the departing bartender made us close out our check and start a brand-new one with the next person. Why should the staff's administrative hand-off be the customer's issue? It's just unprofessional. The Valley has so many actual dive bars with character and plenty of high-end spots for a great cocktail; I'm not sure where this place is trying to fit in. It feels like someone bought it and just stopped caring. We won't be back.

No problem... except no one came to us for ever. We were maybe 1 of 4/5 tables in the place. Finally we flagged down someone who got our drinks going. Looks like he was the bartender - bar did have people too. Took awhile to get some food going as well, but we did eventually. Staff was friendly, so other than the waiting, it was a great time.

Sherman Oaks is gritty and the section of Ventura Boulevard that houses TLP is almost brutalist in its anti-establishment aesthetic. You would never know it was here if you didn't either live in the neighborhood or seek it out as I did. It is sandwiched between a completely non-descript place that I didn't even look at and a crystals shop with grafitti-etched windows (unfortunately!) but some really cool beads. Inside is the same -- no frills, a dress-down and survive-if-you-dare vibe. My pictures will illustrate what I mean. Nevertheless, the friendly service (shout out to our server, Patrick), the menu, and the quality of the food are well worth it. Again, see what we ordered in the photos attached. Everything was delicious. The floor, tables, and chairs were all clean. There is some kind of post-apocalypse rhumba going on with the ceiling treatment. It is almost reverse-logic art with all the shading (stains? velour movement?) and utilitarian installation it reveals. Love the walls though, and the worn distressed wood everywhere (see the pix, folks). A bonus was watching the Masters (Patrick let us linger) and sitting by a giant window that was open to the street. Parking is up a block or so on either side. We always find safe spots in Sherman Oaks. The music seemed to be one CD of an unknown (to me) vocal artist and was pleasant. The crowd was friendly and the whole atmosphere was like one big homey grunge party. You know those mornings you fall out of bed and almost don't want to change out of your pajamas or yoga threds? This is the place to go. I loved it. (NOTE: You may have to refresh this page twice to see my pictures, for some reason. grrrrrr)
