    Went for a night out with friends. Had a great time! Music was solid, we were able to dance. Spacing was great, although it was busy we weren't too crammed up. The drinks were definitely drinking(they pour them well). The patio is somewhat small, but enough room if you just want to catch some air. It's a good spot to go hang & dance. I'm a big Pitbull fan, so maybe next time I'll hear a song thrown on lol. There's a parking garage not far too.

    Divey bars are full of charm and the one with strong inexpensive drinks definitely has it. Now one of the last bars on the Santa Monica Blvd all-inclusive bar crawl train, Trunks is the chill easy going, often seat filled yet easy to maneuver experience you need. The music is solid, the people are chatty and the bartenders are attentive. The have a front patio attached to the bar as well as one directly across it off the sidewalk before the main entrance with security. You can bring your outside drinks over to this area, but nowhere beyond. There is a dance floor that usually gets a little busy at night as opposed to during the afternoon and day. They show mostly sports or sporting events during the day on the many TVs they have here much like Gym Bar, now on the middle half of the gay bar scene (closer to Hi Tops and across from Beaches, Rocco's etc). Restrooms deep in the back with wall bench seating all along the right wall of the bar. It's a very mixed crowd though nostalgic to an older generation for sure. If you enjoy the comforts of dive chic then march your feet to the beat of this establishment during the week (or weekend). Trunks has the occasional event, usually during a holiday weekend and always the best prices around. Including happy hour from 1 - 8 pm during the weekdays.

    Great little bar off of Santa Monica Blvd that has a no-frills happy hour from 1-8PM, Monday through Friday. What I loved was that there was a lot of outdoor seating, so regardless of your comfort level, you could still find an area that was far away from everyone while still being able to take in all magic that WeHo has around you, and still be able to social distance at the same time. There were quite a few people on a Tuesday afternoon, but our bartender Alexander was bopping around the whole place making sure that orders were being taken and drinks were being served. I went with his recommendation for the Trunks Mule which definitely hit the spot. Served in a copper cup, it wasn't super strong, but you could feel it, and it was quite refreshing on a muggy afternoon. First cocktail out since the pandemic and it didn't disappoint. I'll for sure be back for some coworking and just enjoying the outdoors again soon!

    You can't have a better time when you are in Weho then spending a Saturday with Alex's. Alex's has the best personality and sense of humor.

    One of the few places on this strip in WeHo that couple the Dive Bar ideologies with being a little bit trendy.

The bar had a very lively and energetic crowd with plenty of TVs, which is always nice in a sports bar. They have generous happy hour specials that run from 4-8 daily.

Long Review: Came here with 3 other friends to watch Spain v Argentina in the World Cup Championship. We got here 1 hour before the game started and they were out of 3 mixers for cocktails, and two beers. Seriously? It's the biggest game of the year in the WORLD and you couldn't run a list the night before for what you needed? The food was pretty good, though. We shared wings and fries and they were tasty. The atmosphere was fun and set up for exciting visuals. Several big screen TVs, music during the commercials and a really cool wait staff who seemed to know all the regulars on a first-name basis. Not sure if I'd come back for anything other than a big sporting event, though. If you're in the middle of bustling Hollywood next to two other hot sports bars, you gotta have something that separates you from the pack. Their total service package could be that if they could get their ordering right.

This ultimate roadhouse on the final stretch of the original Route 66 is so deeply enshrined in Los Angeles lore that almost everyone in town's been there at least once, while almost everyone everywhere else has heard of it. And to its credit, Barney's has evolved in the decades I've lived in town, becoming much less of a dirty dive and really improving their game in the kitchen, which used to put out really sub-par grub. Nowadays, the kitchen is forging far better food and presenting it in a style far closer to what you see in similar diner-style restaurants in the area. Fries served in little fry baskets is just one example of them upping the ante. Service is a pleasing and appropriate mix of West Hollywood punk with well-trained hospitality, and bartenders like Victoria (on duty during my time there today) deftly balance local attitude with universal charm, taking care of you exactly as you need while maintaining a rapport that's down to Earth and genuinely friendly rather than being corporately crafted. I went against all my born-and-raised New Yorker instincts by ordering a pizza for dinner. Not just an LA pizza, but an LA BAR pizza! And you know what? It was really good. I opted for the pie called Johnnie's Fave, featuring mushrooms, jalapeños, cilantro and (usually) pepperoni that I replaced with sausage. The amply portioned 10" pizza is built on good-quality dough that's been properly proofed, plumping up at the edges in the oven while crisping nicely towards the center. The mozzarella melts well and offers good flavor without becoming greasy, while the sausage and veggies are all fresh, tasty and satisfying. The pizza is accompanied by a trio of condiments served in old-fashioned paper ramekins: crushed red pepper, Parmesan cheese, and creamy Ranch Dressing. While I'd never dip the heart of the pizza, I fully embraced the bar pie experience by dipping my crust, and I must say the cool, fresh Ranch Dressing was a really enjoyable indulgence. There wasn't much of a crowd this Sunday afternoon, a fact that Victoria chalked up to people taking a break between the end of World Cup and the start of College Football in a few weeks. But that just made it easier for me to slide into a seat at the bar, tip back a few cocktails, and enjoy a surprisingly good pizza on a Sunday afternoon. I mean, Barney's has always been a reliable place to get your drink on, but it's nice to know it's finally become an equally reliable place to eat a very decent meal.
