I started going to this bar back when I first turned 21 nine years ago. I work at the Rec. Center down the street making it very convenient. I would say I was a regular there but it was a the bar I would most visit and suggest. Last ight 08/08/2021 was the first time back in 3 years ears. I know the pandemic has hit a bunch of people hard and made some people more irritable (including some of the staff). Including the 9 years of experience Ive had here since Ive never left a review about this place anywhere before.

Excellent outdoor bar with plenty of seating and a very laid back atmosphere. On-site taco business is solid, nothing exceptional. Great section of draft and bottle beers. A great go-to for a date or meet up with friends.

You can’t expect more from an unassuming place like this. Off the beaten path, it’s worth checking out if you want a chill place to meet up with friends and stay a while. Definitely somewhere you plan for and go to, not stumble into on your way to/from other places.

This is an awesome place. The ambiance, the people and especially the drinks. The bartenders are quick to welcome you and make you a good stiff drink. Thank you to bartender Abby who was just a nice as she can be and man, can she make a hell of an Old Fashion. If you find yourself in Hollywood, this iconic bar is must do. Kudos to the other two male bartenders whose names I did not get but were super as well. Keep up the great service and with a smile.

Tiny dive bar. Local crowd that knows each other, welcoming bartender, and a laid-back atmosphere. There is pool if you like to shoot, though they were taken both times we went. The bar has a definite speakeasy feel to it. Good place to relax and pregame on cheap drinks.

Review №24

Solid draft beer selection, unheated outdoor seating. Wear two pairs of socks if youre there on a cold night. Theyre quite strict with COVID precautions, which is a huge plus. Makes going to a bar feel much safer. Youll probably hear at least one Wu-Tang member track during any visit.

The food is unbelievable. Found this spot online and the actual taste of the food really followed through to the all the amazing photos! Cant wait to come back with a large group for brunch! The service is equally as welcoming and friendly! Our server Jen was amazing and super helpful!

Review №26

Bar in the middle of nowhere but with great selection of beers, shots and cocktails and an outdoor patio beer garden style. Music is good. Reasonably priced. Worth mentioning the tacos spot in the same street that sells $1 tacos at late hours. Definitely worth a visit since Verdugo bar does not sell any food.

Incredible outdoor space, great draft beer selection, always a good food truck parked adjacent to the patio, and a very friendly staff. As a semi-regular who lives within walking distance, my only fear is that more people will discover this gem, but you cant not love the Verdugo!

Always a great place to have a beer outdoors. They always have a good, rare beer on tap. The prices are fair for regular drinks. Its mostly a younger crowd, but the locals are friendly so its a good spot to try if youve never been.

I really liked this bar its a cool hangout to get a drink and listen to some really cool music. The whole time I was there I enjoyed every song that came on. The vibe was very casual and laid back although the bar area was lively. The bartenders seem to be having a good time also enjoying the music.

Stopped in with the wife for a drink before heading to a near by wedding. The cocktail menu was pretty fun and creative. We didnt order anything special but the drinks were well made and cheap during what I assume was happy hour. They have a good looking food and beer menu as well. There are plenty of games, TVs and a projection screen too. I could see my self coming back here and spending a lot of time, drinking, eating, playing games and watching sports.

What can I say? Its Tiki Ti!!! The drinks are unreal and the decor is great. My only complaint is that I can only come on weekends and its small and crowded. However, its true you will make new friends there, you dont really have a choice.

Little Bar is the best! Great vibe. Great bartenders. Great little neighborhood bar. They host trivia on Saturday nights and the karaoke on Monday nights is a blast! They allow you to bring food into the bar which is awesome because the Huitlacoche truck parks outside and it is delicious! You can order at the truck and the chef will deliver it to you at the bar!

This is one of my favorite local bars in Los Angeles. The outdoor area is fantastic and the beer selection is always top notch. Its a great location and there is usually no problem finding street parking. The ease of getting to this bar, parking, getting a drink and enjoying it is way better than 99% of bars in Los Angeles.

Awesome food! Such a great idea how they use 3 Hawaiian rolls for the hotdog bun. Craft beer selection is good. Theres no fee to taste a draft craft the bartender/guy you place your order with it eager to please and very helpful to give his favorite and boy was he right. Service is swift and parking nearby.

Review №53

The hubby and I decided to have some drinks here before heading up to the Greek and what a great detour it was! Id heard of this place but had never been, but the hubby had been quite a few times and thought Id get a kick out it. He was right--this teeny tiny tiki hut is crammed with an amazing amount of tiki stuff, and its got character with a capital C. We were there fairly early so we managed to score a couple of seats at the bar without a wait. They have a very extensive menu, all variations of rum, pineapple, coconut, etc. Therefore, I cant even remember my drink, even though I took a picture of it. Suffice to say, it was delicious and strong. We each had one cocktail and shared a third, and it was enough to get us all nice happy for a good portion of the evening. Its a quintessential LA experience, if youre into that kind of thing.

Nice place to warm up in the Sunset during those chilly, foggy evenings. The fireplace inside keeps you warm and toasty if you can manage to grab a table in front. They have rotating drinks deals, and the prices are inexpensive. A great place to kickback and unwind. I like the ambiance and mellow atmosphere. Stays open late (2am) which makes this place a prime spot to hangout with your friends any day of the week.

Review №59

This is one of those local low key bars that out-of-towners wouldnt be familiar with but it becomes a pleasant surprise once they pay their exploratory visit. Much more welcoming and comfortable than youd expect from looking at it from the entry. Full bar, quick service, spacey outdoor patio, accommodating of groups, board games, everything youd want from a neighborhood bar.

Such an amazing bar! Dope speakeasy vibe when you walk in, killer bartenders and selection. Happy hour could use a little love, but what you going to do? The patio is a gold mine! Im a non-smoker so sometimes, if its windy, sitting out there can be a pain but all in all I love the place 🍻

Chill venue, the DJ spins real records, and the bartenders are easygoing. When we went, there was food being served outside. We parked out on the street since three didnt seem to be a parking lot. Not hard to find a spot, and this bar is situated on a non busy street. Had a good time, good drinks, and spent time with good friends!

Review №66

I love this bar. Ive been coming since 08. Things have had a decent amount of change and a lot of the charm has remained. My biggest gripe with the bar is that it feels a bit like a college bar at times (Occidental is close). The servers and security are pleasant and I generally like their music. Its not typical top 40s.Keep an eye for events or local food trucks stopping by.

Chill spot to stop by after work or a random night. Parking can be a pain but you should be able to find some in the neighborhood. Chill, dim divey feel to it with fair drink prices and cool drink specials. Wish they had a pool table or shuffleboard but hey...would I come back? Sure.

Somewhere in Silver Lake, there is a bar on 1087 Manzanita Street where you wonder why its called 4100 bar. No matter. Youre here for a swell time. Its not quite a dive bar, nor a fancy cocktail bar. Its somewhere in the middle for the LA 20-something drinker.

Was here on a Friday evening . Was pleasantly surprised to see a semi dance floor . Good music and drinks. I hear the cocktails are good too. I am a whisky guy and they have a good collection of those too. My highlight of the evening was when they played a Bollywood Punjabi song seeing our group of Indians there. That was a really sweet gesture by the DJ.

Review №74

I finally made it to the famous Tiki-Ti and it did not disappoint! Do you want to feel like youre on vacation without the hassle of the TSA and sitting on your bum for 6+ hours on an airplane? Then this is the place for you! Drinks dont have descriptions (although if youre willing to stare at the tv monitor they do slowly go through individual descriptions) so Id recommend picking a liquor type (most are rum based) and then going with a cool name or consulting your fellow bar attendees that have already tried some. This place gets crowded so Id recommend against going with a big group. Parking is street and pretty standard difficulty level for Sunset. Ill definitely be back!

Connie and I ended up here after dinner. Place lives up to its name. Barrista was quick. Not too many tables but we managed to find a place to sit at. Big crowd that night. Not much else to say. Its a good spot to grab some drinks. My Cuba Libre did its job and got me feeling good. Street parking available. Out of our way but will return here if in the area.

Perched above the pulse of Wilshire, familiar country flavor meets the fresh energy of L.A. Step back from the street and take a pause. This is the junction of warm savory smoke and cold local crafts. Where the rumble of easy conversation and passed plates and pints washes over the roar of the tracks below. Go ahead and sink into your seat and stay a while. This is your stop.

Holy smokes. The cocktails here are legit some of the best and most inventive Ive ever had. That says a lot as wife and I always try to hit the best craft cocktail spots anywhere we go. From NYC to Miami and everywhere else. The staff is very keen on what ingredients work well together, and were able to make bomb drinks that were not on the menu. We had a mezcal cocktail to start that bartender made that fit this description. No clue what was in it but it was fire. Also we had the Red eye that was made with Gin that was also fantastic. We watched as they made cocktails with devices that created their own carbonation to them too. Simply cool!

Cool place. Great beer, cool people. Love the food trucks. There is a photo booth and a bathroom that locks, which is always great at a bar. Outdoor area is the best part.Only thing that sucks is the music. Horrible music and its too loud. You are forced to listen to it/endure it whilst inside/ordering your drinks. Luckily the outside area makes up for it, as its not playing outside.

Their happy hour is AMAZING! $2 off beers and $5 well drinks. If youre looking for a great stout/porter tap list, this is your place!As for the vibes, the inside is incredibly dark with a long bar and large leather booths, giving it an old LA dive bar feel. But there is a huge outdoor patio area that offers a nice, well lit contrast with lots of picnic tables, umbrellas and heat lamps (if needed). Parking can be a bit tricky (all street parking) but its in a residential area so its a nice walk if you park further away. I will be back!

Super small & quaint little bar in east Hollywood!Ive had a few totally different experiences here. A few less than good ones but the last experience was really nice. Its our neighborhood bar so when we want a cocktail, its the only one walking distance so this is why we come back even if the previous experience wasnt as great.Since its so small, it can get pretty loud in there and Im sensitive to noise so its hard for me in stay inside. Pretty good drink and cocktail menu.Our last experience was really nice though. Got a seat at the bar and I told the waiter what kind of drink i wanted. I said gin, Rosemary, grapefruit, up glass...they dont carry rosemary but he made something special and it was delicious and beautiful! Great and friendly service as well.
