I've quickly grown to really love this place. Feels like a true locals dive bar oasis in an unassuming strip mall. The vibe in this place is top notch. Plenty of tv's playing sports, old school decor, people playing pool, and good energy flowing in all directions. While they don't have a kitchen, "Jimmy Snacks" supplied a wide array of chips, nuts, candy and other bites l, which adorn the wall. Just make sure you leave him a little tip as a thank you (even though he'll tell you it's not necessary). The bartenders and patrons are all friendly and easy to speak up conversation with. The drinks are reasonably priced. What's not to love? read more

This is the best bar in Los Angeles hands down, nicest most welcoming bartenders and regulars. Owner's are the best and they know what they're doing! Unbeatable prices and weekly events. Make sure you come for music bingo on Tuesdays and whiskey Wednesdays. There's also top tier tacos on Thursday nights and you get a taco ticket for every drink you order. I've been coming here multiple days a week for years and have never seen anyone have an issue. Kayla must be trippin because we were all there that night and that did not happen. read more

I've been coming to 90 West Lounge for many years, and it never disappoints. The vibe is always great, and the atmosphere is welcoming--it truly feels like a second home. A huge shout-out to Sarah, who is absolutely wonderful. She is attentive, friendly, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of every single time. Her energy and professionalism are a big reason I keep coming back--she remembers her regulars and always goes above and beyond to make the experience special. read more

You can tell it's a close knit locals place but also open to newbies. Pool table, high tops and omg a whole snack bar that's open to everyone! We were obsessed with this free snack option. Super fun.

It's a nice little place. Bartender was friendly and attentive, though it helped that they weren't swamped. Plenty of people there though, so they're clearly popular. The bartender makes pretty good drinks too. We happened to show up when they were getting ready to run a musical bingo game and one of us won some bar bucks, so that was fun as well. Overall, great time. Will probably go back sometime soon. read more

Whoa - what a gem. Happy hour drinks for $8 (Jack or titos) Free high quality snacks of various types: gummy bears, pretzels, chips and guac, jerky. It was unbelievable. "Jim Snacks" I believe is that man who generously supplies the goods. I thanked him for being so cool. Also, I want to be him when I grow up. And on Thursday, your drink gets you a free street taco at 8PM which comes with amazing potatoes. You can't find a spot in LA like this anymore. Cozy, neighborhoody, good vibes. The bartender is hilarious. There's ample parking and everyone is so nice. There's also a huge library of board games to pick from as well. I'm trying to get my west side friends to go because this is worth checking out. read more

They've got beers on tap and six shelves of hard liquor. Well drinks start at $5.50 with a 2 oz pour and beers start at $5. Parking is either in the lot or on the street, but I've never had an issue with parking. The pool table is closed for the time being but they still have table games like connect four, Jenga, rock em sock em robots, etc. King Trivia is back on Monday's from 8-10pm. They didn't bring back hotdog Monday's, taco Thursdays, or bbq Sunday's just yet but you can always call Lenzini's Pizza in their shopping complex and they'll deliver for free and give you 10% off your order. This is my home for every Lakers, Dodgers, and Kings game, but they have so many TVs that they've got all the games on. read more

I debated in my head about this being the place for a "first meet"...but it was perfect. Huge parking lot. The floor was being mopped upon walking in. (Nice) The local patrons seemed welcoming and warm. And the drinks were a VERY DECENT price. $10 minimum if you open a card tab. Free Wi-Fi in case you wanted to bring your laptop. A newly renovated pool table. Great music. I could go on. I can't wait to come back here. People probably saw us making out but everyone minded their own business. Thanks. I owe you. read more

It's been so long since I wrote my first review for this bar. Honestly it's so much more than just a bar. It's a spot where me and my friends can always meet up and make a random Tuesday into an epic night. They have so many activities that I love like taco Thursday, trivia night, pride celebrations, and the occasional paint night. Its my favorite spot in LA. The owners go so far above and beyond to make regulars and firstimers comfortable. They open at noon and have great WiFi so it's also a fun spot to bring your laptop and work on the patio. read more

Specialties

We are a local dive bar with a Midwest type friendliness and generosity. Indoors, we have 6 TV’s, 11 bar seats, 7 indoor tables, a Diamond pool table, a TouchTunes Jukebox and a large selection of board games and cards. Outside, we have a heated patio with one TV, to show your favorite sports & teams. Our 8 draft beers are served by the glass, or if you’d like, in small or large pitchers. We also have about 20 beers & seltzers in bottles & cans. With over 100 different spirits and our highly experienced staff, we can mix you a great cocktail. Dogs are welcomed with dog treats and bowls of water. Matter of fact, we've had the occasional cat and bird owners come visit us with their pets. (although, not at the same time… a cat and a bird might be tough!). We are definitely not your typical LA bar! Stop by and enjoy a draft beer or a cocktail, and see for yourself!

History

Established in 2007.

The interior was designed to resemble that of a stateroom aboard an old ocean liner. Cherry-stained hardwood covers the bar, wall to wall, displaying old-style craftsmanship giving the 90 West Lounge a truly unique feeling. Our gorgeous bar is somewhat of a hidden treasure found in the rear of the Marina Plaza, adjacent to Ronnie's Diner. After 34 years of serving customers only beer & wine, in 2013, the current owners purchased a liquor license and now have a full bar with every variety of liquor you can imagine. The bar's name has changed with its many owners over the years: The Bus Stop, Harp & Crown, Larkin's, and The Boatyard Pub. Today, with Ben & Angela, both at the helm, it is now an upscale dive bar with a warm feeling like Cheers where "everyone knows your name."

Meet the Business Owner: Angela and Ben K.

Since his May, 2011 purchase of the 90 West Lounge, Ben made the “90” a favorite locals spot for many neighbors & friends. Often customers will bring in their friendly & obedient pets too. Many customers come to unwind & socialize, enjoy a few cocktails and watch sports together. There are 7 TVs, an Internet Jukebox, many board games & both indoor & outdoor seating. You are welcome to order in food from anywhere you like. Angela, (Ben’s girlfriend) joined the 90 West team as general manager in mid 2012. Together, Angela and Ben have built up an amazing staff, stocked the bar with a wide selection of spirits, and a large collection of games for customers to enjoy during their visit. (Examples are: Cards Against Humanity, Giant Jenga, Connect Four, Battle Ship). Playing pool at the 90 West on their Diamond pool table is quite competitive, but you’ll certainly enjoy it. Our main goal is for everyone to have safe fun & to have a great time. Hope to see you here at the “90” real soon!

Is this bar confirmed a San Francisco 49ers bar?

We were exclusively 49’rs. We now leave it open to all but still get a good following for 49’rs. Currently of course we are closed due to COVID.

We do show Raiders games, with a decent following of 49’r fans. Currently of course we are closed due to COVID. Hope to see you when things reopen.

The place itself is very modern and nice. Overall the vibe it basically a Houston's-type place. And service was good. All of the food overall was very good. Nothing really too crazy. To me, the menu is a little... boring. But, I will say everything was tasty. We got the Cajun shrimp salad (which was simple and clean but tasty), a cheese pizza for the kids (which was good!), a brisket French dip (very tasty and a horseradish sauce with a LOT of bite), a vodka pasta (was good but it actually is TOO big a portion to eat by one's self), the Ahi Tuna frites (the tuna was good and served with a nice green sauce), and the grilled cabbage side (with brown butter and some pomegranate molasses--it was actually my favorite thing!). The key distinctive thing about Laurel Grill seems to be that a lot of things get cooked by that fire which really adds a nice smoky touch (like the shrimp and the ahi tuna and the cabbage). My only major complaint would be the fries were just okay. After a minute or two they weren't crispy anymore. As good as everything else was, I thought they would step things up with the fries but they were just average. Anyways, while I overall am not that excited by the menu, it definitely is a great place to go where everybody will be able to find something tasty to eat. And overall, the portions were pretty fair.

Tables looked available around 5pm though so walk-ins could be possible. Ambiance: Outside was nice and inside looked dimly lit and romantic. We were seated promptly and service was good. Food: Rice slushy had a strangely strong cinnamon-like taste to it that traditional rice punch doesn't have which was so overpowering, it made it difficult to go back for more sips. Oysters - good though small, enjoyed the kelp mignonette Korean Aguachile - Delicate tilefish completely overwhelmed by cold kimchi broth with actual icy slush in it and small amounts of fish Steak Tartare - The hot stone bowl seemed to defeat the purpose of a tartare, as it cooked the steak once mixed. The perilla leaves were also cut in large strips relative to the beef. Chilled Acorn Noodle - The perilla oil was nonexistent in flavor though the dish didn't need it and was good without. Overall, portions were small for the price and dishes weren't well-executed so despite being excited for more Korean options in West LA, I'd much rather make the drive to Koreatown for better portions, prices, and flavors.

Salad, had too much white lettuce which was very bitter 7/10

This is a great place for after work happy hour in a casual ambiance. I came here for birthday…read moredrinks with my family before we headed to dinner nearby. The location has a spacious area filled with a variety of wine options. I picked a Bourgogne Chardonnay from France ($36). We came on a late Monday afternoon and, lucky for us, they have a bar special on Mondays: No corkage fee! They also have Happy Hour-- Monday to Friday from 3-6pm. The Chardonnay was divine! I would totally return and purchase another bottle. We also ordered a charcuterie board and took advantage of their happy hour special for $20 (pick two-- one cheese and one meat). We opted for the 'Humboldt Fog' Chèvre as our cheese option and the Bresaola for our meat option. Both were delicious, but the chèvre was truly exquisite. We shared one charcuterie board with five people and it was enough; however if you're on the hungry side, I suggest two charcuterie boards for five or six people. In addition to meat and cheese, it comes with crackers, some pickled veggies, onion jam, candied nuts, whole grain Dijon, and apple slices. On the left side of the venue you have your variety of wine options; on the right side, there's the bar and some tables, plus a small area with other snacks for purchase that pair nicely with wine or beer. They even sell the Torres truffle chips! My only complaint is the service, unfortunately. The lady at the cashier was super friendly, however the bar tender was not so welcoming. When he came over to our table to open our wine bottle, he didn't greet us, smile, or say anything. He took our bottle and opened it and then asked who was going to taste. Not sure if he thought we didn't speak English since we were speaking another language when he came to our table, but overall, we all noticed his attitude and thought it was rather unwelcoming. Because of this experience, I rate this place a 4/5, however, everything else was great!

High bar shared seating inside but tables outside. They also have a riddle of the day posted above the bar which is fun to solve when you're a little buzzed. Everyone is nice, knowledgeable and non pretentious. The staff has encouraged me to try so many different wines I wouldn't normally do for fear of looking like a noob. I've enjoyed a wide range of wines from an orange one day, a pinot next, a buttery Chardonnay or a spicy Syrah. Every time I'm there it's a fun experiment. :) If you're a lightweight like me, I'd suggest eating a meal beforehand because the menu is pretty light. Street parking or structure in downtown culver is available. You can try the local neighborhoods for free parking, just don't park by my place! lol

The chairs were super uncomfortable especially if you are hanging around to listen to music and have a few drinks. It was quite dark inside and the tv screens had strange videos playing.

No strong desire I enjoyed the vibes of the place, but the live music was a little too loud to have a comfortable conversation. However, I believe that having a comfortable conversation at a bar with live music is a contradiction, so no points lost there. My main issues with The Washington are as follows: 1) expensive 2) poor drink selection. These two issues are not independent as I am ok paying ~$20 a drink only if the cocktails are going above and beyond in some sort of way. For example, the drink has some sort of complicated syrups or uses some sort of unconventional technique that I would not want to replicate at home. However, you cannot really find creative cocktails here. And, on top of that, I also find a lackluster selection of drinks. I'm not entirely sure why there isn't more gin/vodka cocktail selection (I am well aware that they can make standard bar drinks that are not explicitly listed, but I am critiquing the lack of 'original drinks').

Nothing to revert about. But wow, that mimosa was filled to the rim! I got the speciality weekend brunch spritz. I don't remember what it was call but it was strong and refreshing. Yes. The spritz was strong or my tolerance has gone way down. First course: I was pleasantly surprised by how big the Avacado toast was. It had a jam at the bottom that brought the whole dish together. Like my HH review, some micro greens would have taken my heard back. I just love microgreens! Deviled eggs and croquetts I've tried before. They were both pretty good. Croquetts can't do wrong. Mains: I got the crab Benedict and it was awesome! I filled up on my avocado toast so I took half of it home. There was plenty of crab and the poached egg was running and bright orange. That's some healthy eggs! Fresh toast looked amazing as well, same with the burger. I know the burger was also popular at happy hour for the price but I was told it was very good. I'll have to go next time just for that. Parking: Just park by the paid lot by trader Joe's or off Cardiff. Easier than trying to find parking on that street. The paid lot is $1 free and $1 additional hours. The patio was super charming with all the natural lights and shaded by the trees. The service was decent as well. Will took good care of us.
