    a man playing pool
    Claudia Y.

    They do not welcome service dogs . My boy is a registered service dog and was not allowed to enter . I let the staff know I needed him near me and I was allowed to place him on the patio, and by patio I mean outside patio lines. I proceeded to move my service dog close to the back entrance as that was the other limit I was allowed. We were both respectful and well behaved . The ADA , Americans with Disabilities Act clearly outlines That this type of action is an act of discrimination. I understand that the staff were unsure and do not want to allow "pets" to enter. I communicated clearly that this was a service animal I needed near me for emergency medical reasons and I was directed to speak to the owner ... the following morning . I sincerely hope Scott Wilson reaches out to me .

    No food but hello shots on command! Services was fast! The bartender had my michelada done before I finished my sentence. Delicious and spicy! Much needed after a long pool day. Ambiance was vibing. Nice people sitting at the bar.

    Chloe's feeling unwelcome.
    Han G.

    My partner and I have been here multiple times. Loved the chill and intimate vibe, and the affordable drinks. Unfortunately, tonight was a disappointing experience. After walking our dog Chloe, a small Maltipoo, we decided to stop by since it's the closest bar to our hotel, and my partner, who works in hospitality, loves supporting local businesses. I sat with Chloe on the patio, being mindful of the fact that many places don't allow dogs indoors. However, the bartender requested to see my ID in person for the order, so I went inside, carrying Chloe. Two staff members immediately informed me that dogs weren't allowed, but I assumed they were only referring to the indoor area because we've seen people with dogs on the patio before. I explained, had my ID checked by the bartender, then returned to the patio. Then I was told that dogs weren't allowed in the patio either, which caught us off guard. Even though our drinks were ready, security canceled the order. To be clear, this review is directed at the owners and managers, not the staff who were simply following orders. Please consider putting up a "No Pets/Dogs" sign and ensure the policy is enforced consistently--not selectively or based on feelings towards specific customers. Lastly, please train security to communicate kindly with returning customers instead of abruptly.

    Us playing pool

    Fun dive bar. Good drinks and bartender was super nice. We had fun playing at the pool table We had a great time visiting. Always down for a good dive bar. They even had jello shots.

    Budlight and AMI jukebox play my own music... pool tables, darts, and pinball. What else can I ask for?

    Fun little local dive bar... Bartenders are friendly and they have pinball machines, one pool table, and AMI (another version of touch tunes).... Happy hour from 12pm-8pm Jell-O shots $2 and you can taste the alcohol... The crowd varies but it's still fun. I enjoyed my time here.

If you didn't know better you'd think you were in LA in the summer, excepty for the bocce ball. They have an excellent selection of spirits, cocktails. Maybe a little varied, but decently creative. The only thing that gets me is pricing. Sure you pay for everything for decor, glassware and not just spritis, but I recall wondering how they price their drinks becuase not everything is equal or standard mark up when some things aren't house made it's easy to cost out becuase you stop paying for creativity after a certain point. It feels like they took alot of Mr. Lyons business model and use that for pricing rather than a sole entity with their own margins. The service makes up for it, the ambiance makes up for it. The crowd makes up for it. Far less wrinkled and aging snowbirds and retirees circling the drain in their waning days. People dressing up and celebrating, genuine convivialness abounds with most guests. It's not somewhere else trying bring that vibe here, it's pretty authentic. It's separate from nextdoor other than shared bathrooms, so don't be surprised when you feel like your in a different world. Most people who wander between the 2 take pause and awe for a few seconds before their mood shifts to match the room. Not a place to get sloppy and party that way unless it's a closed event. It's a great, classic PS lounge for when you have 2 groups of friends who you can entertain, the steakhouse crowd for dinner and the loungers beforehand. Sunsets on the patio under the string lights and couches is rich backyard summertime vibez.

I had found COPA through an online search for large groups, and to be fair, that's exactly what it is. We got the free tickets so had to arrive by 10, and it seemed like from 9-10 they had a bachelorette party focused hour where hired male dancers went around and danced with the bride to bes. We saw this from outside, and were already a little wary. Inside, the space is pretty small and the transition to multiple bridal party groups sitting down to a makeshift dance floor was pretty awkward - there were rows of seats lining the dance floor area. Once the DJ got underway and the dance floor formed, it was pretty fun! They played old school hits for the most part that we remembered from high school and college. It felt very comfortable as we were surrounded by a sea of other bach parties. It seemed like a bit of a pay-to-play situation - certain brides would get taken up on stage to dance, and it seemed like the ones who had paid for the VIP experience beforehand. We ended up heading out around midnight to see if we could find something with a bit more local ambiance and less bach parties, but appreciated the music and comfortable ambiance.
