10/10 recommend Such a great gem! This place has the perfect speakeasy vibe with a small, intimate atmosphere that makes it feel cozy and unique. The indoor space is beautifully designed, and the bar seating is especially nice if you're looking to enjoy a drink and watch the bartenders at work. They also have a lovely outdoor patio that's perfect for relaxing with friends or enjoying a date night. The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. The food was just as impressive, and everything we ordered was delicious. Overall, this is an amazing spot with great food, great service, and an incredible ambiance. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend checking it out! read more

Two Words: Bravado Burger Hands down thee best burger in my own humble yelp opinion... the perfect bite, perfect bun, and condiments. Far from dry, delicious flavor and meat ratio. Im a huge fan of the Father's Office burger and this burger is just like it, if not better. And the great thing is, it's so much closer to home!! Wonderful service as always, and never can get enough of the elegant location, seating and views. And they do have TVs for world Cup viewing!! read more

I have worked in Downtown LA for 25+ yrs and visited the many unique and amazing restaurants throughout, and have lived in West Covina 28yrs! Never have I witnessed such an injustice dress code Bravado's owner insists to think is just. My very polite and understanding cousin was turned away and not allowed to stay after having a blue LA Dodgers cap while the DJ (who my cousin and his girlfriend went to support!) wore a cap, along with another guest who had what-seemed to be a golf logo cap, and both were obviously allowed to wear their caps and DJ/dine there. I've been to this restaurant a handful of times, this will be my last time visiting and spending on their unworthy pricey drinks. ($70 for 2 mezcal shots and a 'tiny piece' of choc cake.) I was beyond disappointed on what they seem to believe is a just dress code policy. It is NOT! You can't control and screen logos due to other people's past irresponsible behaviors without recognizing that you are UNJUSTLY SCREENING RESPECTFUL PEOPLE when you selectively see a 'certain logo' as a dress code. I highly recommend you don't allow caps, period!! read more

Checked out Bravado in downtown Covina last night and overall had a great experience. We had an 8pm reservation and as soon as my date and I walked in together, he was informed he needed to remove his hat. No issue at all -- I completely understand and respect a dress code. The ambiance is beautiful, intimate, and exactly the kind of upscale vibe Covina has needed. They also had great cocktail options and I appreciated seeing additive-free tequila selections. Food was excellent. I ordered the Caesar salad with baby gem lettuce and added chicken -- seriously so good. My date ordered the burger and it was delicious. We also shared the truffle fries, which I believe are hand cut, and I loved them. Service was great and overall we really enjoyed the experience. My only complaint: I noticed a gentleman, possibly the owner, walking around the restaurant wearing a casual hat. It felt a little inconsistent considering guests are required to remove theirs. If there's a dress code for customers, I think staff and management should probably follow the same standard. Other than that, definitely check this place out. Covina needed something like this. read more

First time to Bravado a few weeks ago and it was nothing short of amazing. I ordered the sashimi grade Salmon Crudo which was prepared perfectly with fresh greens and produce that complemented the flavor so well. I also highly recommend the paper planes cocktail slightly bitter upfront with an incredibly refreshing aftertaste. Black Dahlia (7/10) and Bravado Old Fashioned (8/10) were also tasty. The ambiance of Bravado when I went was very lively and energetic. They played house style music and stuff, a bit on the louder side but as someone who loves his music loud I felt right at home. The place was bustling. It's very dim in here with accent lighting which makes for a great romantic experience. The bartenders are very busy and extremely backed up with tickets but are able to manage even with the extra large bar top and incoming tickets. My server for the night, Gaby was incredible from start to finish. She is very hospitable and so knowledge about all the food & beverage offerings. Service like this turns a good experience and turns it into a great one. Thank you Gaby. I will definitely be returning to Bravado soon. read more

Absolutely love the ambiance 100/100 Enrique the Bartender I asked him to make me something with Rye Whiskey and berries He Delivered ! My new best friend.

Served the perfect amount. I asked for my salmon Blackened. There was a Dj playing music ,I thought it was a little too loud for the space. Hopefully the manager will read this. Looking forward to coming back. read more

First time trying Bravado after its debut. I noticed in some of the comments, there was a way to make reservations, and found they're on Open Table. No issues with that option - lots of availability. We arrived a few minutes late (walked from home bc we're local) and were seated within 5 minutes. The interior is absolutely beautiful inside and the way they optimized the space was perfection. The long bar is central in the restaurant with one side enclosed and other side of the bar, open air and patio seating. Really beautiful and sets the mood for the evening. We ordered drinks (Dirty Martini for me, Red Wine for my husband), which took 30 fricken minutes to receive. Yes, I timed it. They have 2 bartenders, who work feverishly fast to whip out had crafted drinks. But dang, that is waay too long for drinks!! Hire a 3rd, please! We ordered the Stuffed Dates as an appetizer... which was pretty underwhelming. The presentation was questionable and the taste wasn't the best. They were split open with bacon crumbles, cheese crumbles and slivered bell peppers and green onions with a crisscross design of balsamic glaze in the center of the plate. Please, rethink this dish. It has the potential to be better. Stuff the dates with the cheese, wrap with bacon, drizzle that balsamic on top - lose the peppers and green onions. Despite the appearance, they were a till edible but could be excellent! We ordered a second round of drinks (same drinks, but I asked for a "Dirtier" Martini), and our entrees. I ordered the Beef Tartare and my husband ordered the Filet Mignon (medium rare). The drinks came out significantly quicker and my entree arrived within a few minutes. We then waited about 10-15 minutes for my husband's filet to come out. So again, this could be remedied if the kitchen works on their timing. Both entrees were absolutely delicious!! Honestly, that filet mignon was seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. My tartare was also seasoned perfectly and paired so well with the think potato chips and my martini. I was a very happy girl!! Overall the experience was great and our server, Destiny, was perfection. She was attentive and repeatedly came by to check on us and the food. Food was delicious and drinks were great. Shout out to the DJ for adding some beautiful dance music for the evening. Bravado is a breath of fresh air to the DT Covina night scene. I can't wait to see how they continue to making a lasting imprint for the city. read more

Stopped in to Bravado for my first time last night. I am a Covina local and had heard about it on IG. It gives you SpeakEasy vibes when you arrive. The beautiful decor of the place is inviting. I love that it's a grown crowd and the music was amazing, DJ was playing some soft house music . We sat at the bar and were quickly attended to. Our bartender was Sky and she was awesome. The bar was full and she was busy but she never missed a beat, and our drinks were soo good. We didn't order food this time but I looked at other peoples plates and everything looked so good. We planned on staying for one drink, but the vibes were so good that we stayed longer and had a few more. I am definitely coming back soon and will try the food ! I love that a place like this exists in my neighborhood. read more

I give them credit for bringing a little flair to Covina. This town was really in need of a place like this. It needs a little work though. The food. The lack of seasoning was quite pronounced. I had read a review right before making the reservation where the person noted that the food was "BEGGING " for seasoning. In every way that was true. It needed salt and some acid. The cacio de Pepe was incredibly bland. The tuna tartar was lacking the acidity that was described in the menu. The drinks were good. No complaints in that dept. The vibe was good, although a bit noisy. Our server was very nice but very busy. It took a while to get his attention. I'm not inclined to go back right away. I think there are a couple of other bars in the area that make better drinks. I'll probably wait for some of the hype to die down and for their food to settle in. read more

Welcome Bravado to the City of Covina. A lot of thought and careful planning went into the design of this elegant and unique restaurant. Note: Reservations are required; and, a dress code is enforced. Sports jerseys, caps or beach wear are not allowed. Follow these two tips and you should have no delay in getting in. Upon entry the host/hostess will check your name on the guest/ reservation list, then pull back the velvet curtain to escort you to your table. The main dining room is to the left, the cocktail bar to the right with high-top plush barstools. Once you pass this area, a dimly-lit private room (Speakeasy) is on the left with low couches and round coffee tables. We were led to a doorway on the right to the outdoor patio. The patio furnishing are very comfortable with custom Sunbrella upholstery cushions. Now to the main event, I was impressed with the "Tailor" themed menu (photos attached) featuring craft cocktails, small plates, and entrees, as follows: OPENING STITCH (Appetizers) - Bacon-wrapped Dates, Marinated Olives, Truffle Frites. THE "FITTINGS" COCKTAIL MENU: I ordered the Velvet Smoke - Mezcal, Egg White, Lavender Syrup, Lime. "MAIN CUT" (ENTREES): - Ahi Tuna - diced tuna with avocado, tomatoes, red onion, marinade and a side of house-made potato chips - Petite Filet Mignon with Whipped Potatoes and Zucchini spears. BRUNCH - Sunday morning/afternoon only (Omelets, French Toast, Egg Benedict, Monte Cristo, Bacon and Eggs, etc.). The price range is $15-$18 for cocktails and appetizers. Entrees $30-$50. I didn't notice the dessert menu. I guess I will have to go back for more! They do have live entertainment, call to get the schedule or follow them on social media. Sincerely, Rosemary read more

Walked into this speak easy in covina on a Saturday late afternoon, not busy YET.. Very hidden on the outside, walk in and it transforms to a nice bougie bar/eatery. The atmosphere is smooth, the décor is beautiful, the music is nice and thumping but NOT over baring, very smooth. It is an upscale bar in the heart of Covina..We opted to sit at the bar. The bartender was nice, approached us quickly. My guy ordered a "Bootsy Colins," me a Modelo. I know, I'm a dud!! We didn't order food, but the menu looks good. Think we're gonna try the Charcuterie board but time quickly went by, gotta catch a comedy at 7. So one and done.. The bartender Rob (I think) gave us a quick update on this place. Singer Imperators on Thursdays, Dj Fridays, and Brunch Sundays. Recommend reservations tho. Will come back read more

Visited Bravado on a Saturday night around 7:30pm with no reservation. There were 3 of us and we were told we could sit outside, which was fine with us. When you enter, there is an old timey sitting area with a bunch of old sewing machines. It was cute. We were led through a secret entrance and taken to our seats. Juan was our server and we LOVED his energy. The hostess suggested the lychee & linen before we entered, but none of us ended up ordering that. I had the Benjamin Button cocktail. It just tasted like lemon water. For $18, I was pretty disappointed. My friend loves old fashions, so she ordered the Bravado old fashion. She said it was too sweet and not much like an old fashion. She didn't taste the chocolate or cinnamon in it either. We used the restrooms before we left and they were clean and nicely decorated. When we went to leave, we were stopped and told we must exit through the back. The hostess or waiter should have told us this before hand so we didn't feel like we were in trouble. Over all, seems like a nice place for a date. I wouldn't recommend it for drinks with the girls because the drinks weren't that good. I'm glad we checked it out, but honestly probably won't be coming back again. Great concept though. read more

Located in the heart of Downtown area of Covina. The public parking has abundant of spaces. Within walking distance, you will find this place. The dark decor was decked out with sewing machines. The live jazz music was loud, a bit too loud for my liking subjectively. They have a very creative names on the menu with a good selection of cocktails, appetizers, and entrée. The service was very attentive, but not overwhelmingly. The food was served within timely manner along with the cocktails. May not be the best food but they tasted good and fresh. If you like Frank Sinatra, this is the one jazz bar you shouldn't skip. Overall, it was fun. I give it a 4.6 out of 5. read more

This location is a somewhat hidden gem even though it is out in the open. I've now been here 2-3 times and have always come away pleasantly surprised. I've never eaten here but the drinks are the head and neck above anything else on Citrus. Service has always been prompt and efferent. The ambiance is laid back and chill with a DJ spinning some good music. Definitely a go to location if you are n the area. read more

Friend and I showed up for dinner and drinks when we showed up they didn't want to allow us in because I had a Dodgers World Series hat on and my friend had a Nike Dodgers World Series jacket on which was business casual. They denied us entry they say anything La Dodgers is gang related. The manager specifically said we're not allowed because it had the Dodgers logo. No sports logo on any apparel is allowed. The manager said hats are allowed except because it has a Dodgers logo I am not allowed. read more

0/0 and I do not take this lightly. After a night out some friends and I wanted to go to this bar to relax and have fun. However the bouncer was openly racist to one of my friends and I am not for that. My friend walked up wearing slacks, a designer tee and some dress shoes and before we could even say hello the bouncer said "I'm going to stop you right there you can't be wearing athletic clothes" Huh?? How are slacks athletic. I'd like to point out that my friend is African American so it felt very targeted. As another review, here mentioned, the dress code seems extremely selective. Because I could literally see another person Wearing exactly my friend. Was wearing except with tennis shoes. This definitely ruined our night. read more

Came here for brunch and had a really good experience. The place has a nice vibeclean, a little upscale but still relaxed. Juan was our server and honestly made the whole visit. Super fun, a little extra in the best way, and just really personable. He had great recommendations and kept the energy up without being over the top. You can tell he actually enjoys what he does. Food was solid. I got the Eggs Benedict eggs were cooked right, hollandaise wasn't too heavy, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, great spot for a chill brunch, and Juan definitely made it even better. Would come back and ask for him again. read more

A friend of mine recommended Bravado. So I recently took my wife for a date night out with no kids. My wife and I were both thoroughly impressed. The first thing that stood out was the atmosphere. It doesn't feel like your typical bar when you walk in. The lighting is low, the space feels a little hidden, and the whole place has a relaxed, speakeasy kind of vibe. It feels intentional and VERY different from most places around here.Both my wife and I thought we were in West LA or Orange County. It's nice to have an upscale local restaurant/bar that Covina desperately needed. Food wise we tried a few things and everything was really good. The lobster mac and cheese was probably the biggest surprise and my personal favorite. Rich and creamy but not overly heavy, and there was actually a good amount of lobster in it. Definitely one of those dishes you keep going back to even when you're already full. I also ordered the "Tailor's Cut" filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly. Tender, flavorful, and just done right. No gimmicks, just a really good steak. We also split the Bravado burger, which was juicy and flavorful and felt like a quality burger instead of the usual bar version. For drinks I had the Bravado Old Fashioned, and that was one of the better ones I've had in a while. Smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. One thing I want to mention since I've seen people talk about it, the dress code. Honestly, I don't understand why some people get so bent out of shape about it. The place clearly welcomes everyone, but the dress code is part of the experience. People always say they miss the days when going out meant dressing up a little, and here's a place actually trying to bring that kind of atmosphere back to the community. The owner of the establishment was kind enough to greet us at our table and ask us how everything was going. Made us feel more than welcome and was super friendly. If you want to wear a sports hat or your Dodgers or Lakers gear, there are plenty of spots nearby where that's totally fine and there's nothing wrong with that. But this place is trying to create something a little different and I actually respect that. Overall, this is definitely our new go to for awesome food and drinks, great atmosphere. Cheers! read more

Disclaimer I came in for drinks and did not dine here. As I sat at the bar, I did examine the menus thoroughly as I like to do my first time anywhere. The drinks we ordered were fantastic... The Black Dahlia and a traditional Old Fashioned. Both were artfully prepared and presented beautifully. What you expect at almost $20 per drink. Bartender was friendly and very good at mixing cocktails. Decor is very chic and the vibe upscale, especially for Downtown Covina. The bar opens up to the alley alongside the restaurant where they built a very nice patio. It appears no expense was spared. The food menu I feel reflects the investment. Cacio e pepe for $40, basically spaghetti without the meatballs. Burger was also in that ballpark. I'm definitely curious about the food and will try to be back to try it. Not sure if I'd choose Covina as the destination for a nice dinner, but I may have to reconsider. read more

Came here for brunch recently and it was quite an experience to be had. You come into a "tailor shop", and when it's your turn to go into the "changing room" and the curtains close behind you; another opens up to a whole new world- their speakeasy. The atmosphere is very elegant and sophisticated, can see why there's a dress code to keep up with the ambiance. The service was very nice and informative of the menu. Food and drinks were tailored fit together perfectly. Brunch is a little more casual attire, but everything stays classy. Hopefully I can come back for dinner and a live show! Parking: it is street parking, and also a lot in the back. Dress code: no baseball caps, jersey, athletic wear, beach wear, loose/baggy clothes, super revealing- during dinner service. I would suggest when figuring out what to wear to think business casual, dressy, like you're going on a very romantic upscale date, something 1920's like. read more

While this establishment had a great ambiance, with attention to detail to food and drinks- based off the menu. The service was strange- we had a bartender, rocking Elton John sunglasses that seemed coked out. I was given 3 drinks in the time my boyfriend waited for his. Food was great, bursting with flavor. Drinks were also flavorful too. But be prepared to repeat your order and your drink order a few times in a row. read more

I recently visited Bravado in Covina and went specifically for drinks rather than a full meal. I didn't try the food menu yet, aside from the garlic truffle fries, which were excellent--crispy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. For drinks, I had the lychee grapefruit cocktail and a banana mocktail, and both were outstanding. They were creative, well balanced, and clearly made with care, which really stood out. The atmosphere was one of the highlights of the night. The space was lively, stylish, and packed, which makes sense since it's a newer spot in the area and definitely drawing a crowd. Service kept up well despite how busy it was, and the overall vibe felt fun and energetic. Pricing is on the higher side for a typical Covina dining experience, so this feels more like a special-occasion or treat-yourself kind of place rather than a regular go-to. That said, the quality of the drinks and ambiance make it worth checking out. I'll definitely be coming back to try the actual food and will update my review once I do. read more

Visited Bravado for the first time on 4/11/2026 to celebrate a friend's birthday, and we had an amazing experience. We were seated in the private speakeasy room, which really set the tone for a fun and intimate night. One thing that stood out was the service--multiple waitresses checked in on us throughout the evening, and the attentiveness did not go unnoticed. The food and drinks were all on point, and no one in our group had a single complaint. Entertainment is a big factor for me when it comes to overall atmosphere, and Bravado delivered. I had seen on Instagram that they sometimes feature Frank Sinatra style music, but the night we went featured DJ Modern Romance spinning house and techno. Relaxing house is exactly my vibe, so that really made the night for me. I'd recommend checking ahead to see what kind of music they'll have, depending on what you're in the mood for especially after having a few drinks! Overall, the owners have created a refined spot that brings great vibes to Downtown Covina. Thank you, Bravado, for making our night so special--I'll definitely be back. read more

0/0 As many other astute reviewers have mentioned, the dress code here is extremely selective and unequal. I have dined in upscale restaurants in 6 different continents and never been turned away at the door. Seems to be some racial animus by the bouncer at the door. Skip this "upscale" restaurant and go somewhere more authentic. read more

Loved this place! Officially opens in February. Craft cocktails were delicious. Espresso Martinis, The Seamstress, and more. And the food, yum! The dates were rich & delicious. Perfect to share or for a decedent dessert. The burger was cooked as requested and tasty. The Ahi Tartare is also highly recommended. Lively and sophisticated vibe! Live music the night I was there but played awesome jazz in between. The servers and bartenders were friendly. This place is just getting going and it is a welcome addition to Covina and the surrounding areas! I know some have posted poor reviews based on the dress code and/or that they didn't feel welcomed but that was not our experience at all! Separate but related, I think baseball caps and sweatpants in nice restaurants are inappropriate so I appreciate a dress code that is enforced as off-putting as that may be to some people. Last, I wish the owners well. Starting a restaurant is no easy task and I love the concept of this place. Perhaps a more polished response to a complainer on social media would have been a better choice, but to the rest of you readers, I ask that you check this place out and don't bury someone's restaurant dream for making an easy mistake when hate is being thrown their way, read more
