I don't get out much, but sometimes you just want to have a drink and pretend to socialize. I don't live in Sunland, but not too far away and when heading to the grocery store down the street I was reminded about this little joint and figured I'd stop since I was already out that way. As read in the reviews, and obvious in person, this isn't going to be everyone's hangout, if it it does resonate with you, you'll have a good time. Definitely more of a locals spot, but everyone's welcome. Staff was pleasant, the place small and comfy, the drinks cold, and just a kick back and relax ambience. read more

Food was good and service was excellent. I will be returning to get baby back ribs. The mash potatoes are good too

Cute bartender and good mixed crowd. Would recommend coming here but it might lead you to meet some interesting characters and going on a 2 day bender. read more

Best dive bar around. Zizi is the hottest bartender in town! The owner Mino is pretty cool too. If you like to play pool it's a fun place to play. read more

Scary, new owner lets bikers back in and always issues. Bartenders are rude or drunk or look like a slut. The new changes are not great. It Use to be a great local bar in the area but this guy wants it to be a theme bar with its music nights and random people like it's Hollywood. Its Sunland. It's "world famous" because of the issues that happen there not because it's a good place. It use to be where the locals go. Now after 9pm it's like a tour bus comes in to try the new " Dive" bar. Locals are starting to look for other places to go now. It was great up until a year ago. read more

Best bar ever seen due to Crystal She is awesome bartender Her customer service is superb read more

Always enjoy a local dive bar. This one has a rich history dating all the way back to the early 1900's. Loved that they had all the old school pics on the wall. The wife was a little worried about entering since there were a fee rough looking people outside near bikes. I told her not to judge a book bybits cover. We went in and had a great time. Everyone was super cool, nice, and inviting. read more

I'm not one to go to bars often, because of the rude bartenders and unwelcome stares from people. So when I say that I love coming to this bar, that means something. It's a comfortable dive bar, with a pool table and a Touch Tunes jukebox. I only like going to this place on Sunday and Monday nights when Donelle is working. Hands down the best bartender ever. She creates a super welcoming, unbiased vibe and always plays the best music. She really cares about her customers and makes great drinks. I really hope she continues to work there. It wouldn't be worth going without Donelle there. read more

This bar is Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom!! Best bar on corner of Foothill and Mt Gleason. Great Bourbon and Scotch selection. read more

A great local dive bar. I look forward to coming on Sundays and Mondays when Donelle is the bartender. I've tried coming on other nights and none of the other bartenders are as friendly or personable as Donelle. She is so friendly, and trustworthy, and makes everyone feel welcome. Decent pool table, good drinks and great music on the jukebox. read more

This is a terrific, cozy, and comfortable dive bar. Drinks are cheap and well made by the bartenders. Crystal is a true asset to the bar as she is very good at her job and brings in new patrons who are interested in playing pool and want an enjoyable atmosphere. The pool table with its new felt is great to play on as well. Jolei is always in a pleasant mood and makes your visit nice, fun, and wanting to come back..... again and again. This is definitely the bar to go to if you want a nice, no drama place to visit David N read more

Can't believe you criticize a customer for complaining that the bar never opens on time except when Kenny is working! We the customer makes your pay checks! You're not doing me any favors, it's obvious you don't give a damn about how your customers feel! It's obvious you look down on the people that keep you open. read more

I'm only avoiding 5 stars because it would seem disingenuous. The truth is, this was singularly one of the best experiences I've had at an out-of-the-way bar. The staff are exceedingly professional, managing engaging conversation while expertly mixing the most bizarre and absurd cocktails. The regulars are friendly, welcoming, and complete the environment you may desire when finding a happy strange discomfort. It is a 5 star experience. It would just be harmed by a pointless 5 stars. read more

Nothing but good things to say about this place. Cheap drinks, great customer service, and friendly patrons.

Only been here twice and it's my favorite dive, and I live a good 45 minutes away. Every time I come out to Sunland for a good time I try to stop by. Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders and of course that classic heavy handed dive bar pour, making for strong drinks and a good time. We left some crappy overpriced country club to come here and boy was it a great choice! Looking forward to many more great nights here. 10/6/17 - Rochelle is amazing! Walked in and was welcomed with warm conversation and a smile. Such a great environment every time read more

I've worked in the food/beverage industry for 8 years, and don't usually feel compelled to write bad Yelp reviews, but this may have been the most pointless interaction I've ever had at any of the hundreds of bars I've been to. The bartender was unnecessarily rude. Instead of interrogating me with a million and one questions and acting suspicious because you can't remember whether or not I have been at that bar before (which I have several times, but that's completely irrelevant anyway), you know what would have been 100% more effective and 100% less obnoxious? Asking for my ID. Or even accepting to see it when I offered. No need to be unpleasant, but she somehow made breaking a $20 bill the most complicated process ever. read more

Really like this little dive bar, cheap pbr and you dont have to worry about any drama, been coming here for years and its always been a good time. The bartenders here Jolei and Sarah are amazing I only have an issue with Nikki, other people have had issues with her as well she is a terrible bartender and loses the place business. Other than that the place isn't too bad, good people come play pool have a good time, no drama no issues other than the fact that this bartender has issues with multiple people at the bar for no reason. read more

Saturday night with the Guys and needed a night cap after dinner. What a great little hole in the wall joint. Very local oriented but everyone was really cool and great to shoot the sh*% with. The music this particular evening was on the jukebox and was from 90's. The bartender and security guy were really cool and the service was great - never had to wait to order or get a drink. Place has a pool table. Yep I will go back again! read more

Old cozy OG Bar quick stop got some beer with a friend shot some pool. Very Melo place and strictly Bar no food served just a old school Bar. I will go back to this place again to catch pool game and drink a cold one. Great Beer selection. read more

This place is awwwwwwsome! The bartender, Rebecca is super sweet. We'd come here once before (months ago) and she totally remembered us. And apparently so did some of the regulars. Everyone is super nice. People introduce themselves to you and don't mind having a conversation with you. Service is great. They also have karaoke on Fridays. It wasn't on all the time so you can still play music on the jukebox. Jose is really cool. He helps out with the karaoke and ID check at the door. There's parking on the street and they also have a few spaces in their lot. I Love this place so much!!! Perfect place for a night cap! So happy every time we come. read more

Nice place to chill, cool environment.. Pool table karaoke, touch tunes jukebox, drunk people, awesome service.. What else can you ask for. Definitely will come back read more

This place looks great! I love the remodel and have heard nothing but good things about this place! Sunland is a cool town and the nostalgia this place adds helps make it a better place read more

Thanks Yelp for leading me to this place. Had a great time. Friendly locals, bar tender is one of the gang, they have my brand (bushmills), great jukebox, and a single bar size pool table. Was there on Tuesday and there was a decent little crowd of regulars. ~10 people. They were running games on the pool table. put your name on the white board. Thanks Yelp. you hit a homerun when I was looking for a quick drink spot. read more

Great staff. Great drinks! Super friendly customer base. No creeps. This is my new go to bar!

Having grown up in LA Rochelle has been the best and most authentic Bartender you could encounter. Not only are you in a close but friendly space. but your taken care of in a way you wouldn't expect at a glance. Do yourself a favor and relax here and take it in. P.S - Ryan will straight up put you into country even if you never thought you would. read more

One of my favorite dive bars in existence. Chill vibes and good drinks. Rochelle is a rockstar bartender and, frankly, an awesome person! Sit back, relax, or put on your favorite tunes and play some pool. World-class service in a small town.. can't beat it!! read more

This place has lost my respect totally. Sad to say, but if you don't like to guzzle down lots of drinks and smell bad, in their judgmental opinion, they treat you like dirt. Hopefully this will be the last time customers have to go through a situation like what me and my sweet sister did at the rattler. Too bad, because I'll miss their jukebox and a couple of the folks were alright for a while. On a positive note, try where else? Right down the street. read more

Great place, great bar cheap drinks and awesome bartenders. Rebecca is super nice and pours the perfect cocktail. I WILL be back!

Awesome bar, very comfortable atmosphere. Solid selection of beers on tap, great selection of spirits, the regulars were friendly and Rochelle the bartender was the best! read more

Great hole in the wall,has a juke box to request music and pool tables.Bartender was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back to this place. read more

Great spot. Amazing staff. Cheap drinks, great beers on tap. Rebecca, Sarah, & Judy will take excellent care of you!

Clean glasses. Interesting clientele... For a dive the taps were pretty good. Next time I need to kill some more time out here, I'll think of the rattler. read more

Rochele as a bartender is incredible. She serves drinks like a professional and never leaves you waiting for your drink. Epitome of a bartender, she makes the Rattler what it is today. A great bar to spend your day and enjoy your time. Thank you Rochele! read more

Cool spot. Reeeaaal divey. Beer is at a good price and cold. Theres always some party i.e. a b-day going on brings in a good number of people. Older crowed is pretty friendly, some from ole days of sunland - tujunga. The young blood on the other hand can be a bit snappy, once the booze kick in. its best to stick to yourself and enjoy the drinks with your own group. As mentioned great digital juke box can access every song and band from a-z. read more

It's a great local hole in the wall bar. Rebecca makes awesome cocktails. Good crowd and music. They would get five stars if they would clean up the men's room....nasty... read more

I recently moved to tujunga and this was the first bar my friends and I came to.. by far one of my favorite bars thanks to Rochelle. An angel. Tell her what your fav liquor is and she'll make you the best drink you'll ever have. Always so welcoming and fun. I will keep coming back! read more

Great bar. Can't beat Rebekah and Sara. Best bartenders in town. However worst men's room in all of sunland/tujunga Only giving this place 5 stars because of the incredible Rebekah (Wednesday and Friday night) and Sara (Thursday and Saturday) read more
