    Donna's is the best local bar in the southbay! You can't go wrong with any bartender there, they are all great and very welcoming anytime I'm there. I love coming during Lisa's shifts, she always has amazing customer service and is friendly to everyone I bring here. She also has customer potlucks, so if you're looking for a place to eat and drink Donna's is the place !!

    4++ kind of a locals/dive bar, and I mean that in the best way possible. Good options for entertainment. Like the jukebox and dart boards. Decent selection of spirits and beer. The prices are great here and the service is very friendly. Oh and you also get free popcorn! I came here relatively early on a Friday night with some folks who grew up in the area. So it was really chill and I really like the vibe here. I was told it can get really busy later in the night. The drinks were reasonably priced and you get two dollars off shots when the Dodgers get a home run! Gotta love it. I really like this place and I definitely would love to come back if I'm in the area.

    Cheers!

    The Gardena equivalent of Cheers, where everybody knows your name whether it's your first or 100th visit. Karaoke on Tuesday nights, potlucks on Saturdays, whatever the occasion, Donna's is the place to be! Pool, darts, TouchTunes jukebox box. Make sure you visit Lisa Thursday and Saturday afternoons as well as Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sundays!

    Espresso best in Gardena

    This local Dive Bar is the place to stop by in Gardena. Everyone is welcoming and the bartenders are amazing. Especially Lisa she is always tentative to customers!!

    Lived in the Southbay area for so long and never went to Donna's! Man what a great place! Love this bar, great vibes and drinks! Staff and other patrons are cool!

    Dark! After your eyes adjust you can enjoy the quaintness of this local bar. Pool table, electronic darts multiple TV's and a jukebox to entertain. It was a Sunday so the kitchen was closed. Drinks were flood and $1 off when you check-in on Yelp. I ordered at the bar and was served promptly.

    This is a great hidden bar in Gardena. It's a small bar but has a pool table and dart board along with a jukebox. The bartenders are great and the locals who go here are friendly.

The place is just adorable with great stuff on the walls. It is clear they want you to be happy there. The prices are fair for what you get and they have a great menu. We love the service. They are so nice and they are fast. They also get you order right the first time. You will never feel ignored there. They have the best lobster rolls. Their Connecticut Style Lobster Roll is my favorite. It is warm Maine lobster poached in butter with a swipe of mayo topped with green onions and old bay. I don't care for mayo and they always remember not to put it on. Their Maine Style Lobster Roll is chilled Maine lobster and thin sliced celery tossed in lemon aioli topped with green onions and old bay. I prefer the hot one. My husband loves the chilled ones. They also have great soup and nice salads. You will like this place. You can also get take away.

DROWNING in Mayo is more like it. I tried to look past it because I was hungry, but it actually made me nauseous (butter +mayo) and there was just too much to wipe off. Completely canceled out the flavor. Hard to find a good lobster roll in this town. Was hoping this would be a win. Ah well. Maybe order this with no /lite mayo if you want a better experience. Not worth the $31 I paid to pick up through Door Dash. (Or even $25 without)

    Sly Fox Irish Pub is close to a classic dive bar. It's old timey to the point that the back door is…read morethe main entrance in. Small parking lot that may park about 5 cars and watch the street signs for parking. Pool table & full service bar. Mostly bar seating with a banquette along one wall. What made this bar cool is Sandra, la Reina de Moctezuma as she refers to herself. Breezy, lively, nonchalante, a bit coquettish to the "right guy", socially charming to her other guests. She creates her own story line to create her aura & drama. Author John Rechy, if he were straight, would have featured Miz Sandra in one of his novels like the City of Night. Ordered a pint of Guinness & Harp combination, but I didn't call it a "black & tan" in an Irish pub for historical reasons. But Sandra told me they don't have Harp, and suggested I do a Snake Bite instead which is half Guinness & Hard Cider. I opted for just Guinness since I wasn't in an experimental mood. Later, she was kind enough to let me sample a shot of the Strong Bow Hard Cider which was smooth, sweet, acidic with actual sour apple flavour. Next time I'll have to order the Snake Bite. Don't know how exactly Irish Sly Fox is with its grunge-garage rock music. But it's a good, unpretentious, local hang out. And of course, there's Sandra, la Reina de Moctezuma who is worth the visit. 4- stars

    As of 3/2023 . New hours Sunday - Wednesday 12pm to 12am*…read more On these days the bartender can stay open til 2am please call the bar and let us know! Thursday - Saturday 12pm to 2am :)
