This was a gem that I was not expecting to find but glad I did. I had to take a friend of mine to the airport early in the morning and thought to myself “what other bars are open early that I haven’t checked out yet” and here I discovered Melody Bar & Grill ...
Located in West LA, the Talpa is a Mexican bar/restaurant right next door to another Mexican bar/restaurant called Don Antonio’s. Don Antonio’s is usually always busy and popular while The Talpa is more authentic when it comes to the food. But then again ...
Chimneysweep Lounge has been one of my favorite dive bars over the last 10 years. Located in Sherman Oaks, it’s in a strip mall next to a liquor store with a HUGE sign saying LIQUOR. That right there was a turn-on. Originally this place was ...
This is mostly known as a Mexican restaurant, but they have a large bar area separate from the restaurant. While you can still order food, I prefer to stick with a liquid diet. The pours are okay, and there isn’t much of a happy hour, hence why ...

While they do have a full bar, they are known mostly as a tequila bar, obviously because they are a Mexican restaurant. They have a nice outdoor area to dine if you’re there to eat. And unlike most restaurants that close at 10 PM, this one has last call until 1:45 AM and ...
This place is primarily known as a restaurant, but they do have a bar area. The bar area has maybe 3 seats, quite small. There are long tables where you can share with others though. They are mostly known for their food which all looked good and ...
This is a Mexican restaurant with a bar located on Main Street in Santa Monica. This place has been around for a long time, but unfortunately not one of my go-to places. There are maybe about 5-6 tables in the bar area and maybe about 4 seats at the bar. But ...
