    I came in tonight (Saturday) and at 1:26 we were asked for last drinks. She then said I had 10 mins to drink it.. I can't guzzle down my drink in 10 mins wth that felt really rush and unpleasant... I recommend coming on fridays when the regular bar tenders are here. Plus the drink barely had alcohol.

    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!

    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.

    Had such a great time for my bday .. the bartenders Laurel and Lisa L. Are amazing the ambiance was so much fun all my friends that had never been to Donnas said they would definitely go back overall all the bartenders are great !

    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!!

    They have a popcorn machine also.

    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.

    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!

This place turned out to be way better than I expected. The whole place has that clean, casual vibe with a fun casino theme woven into the décor, you're basically eating breakfast with slot‑machine/poker card table energy in the background, and honestly, it works. Service was on point, super friendly, quick, and attentive without hovering. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to keep things moving, which is always appreciated during a brunch rush. Now the food... they came swinging. * The Fully Loaded Breakfast Burrito is exactly what it sounds like, fully loaded and stuffed, hearty, and the kind of burrito that makes you rethink ordering anything else. * The Pancakes held their own too, simple, classic, and done well. * And the Bacon, Eggs, Sausage & Hash Brown Plate is your no‑nonsense breakfast combo, super crispy hash browns, solid sausage, and bacon that actually has a good crisp. Overall, this spot delivers a surprisingly solid brunch with great service, tasty comfort food, and a clean casino‑casual atmosphere. It's the kind of spot you walk into for a quick bite and end up saying, "Okay, I'd come back." Miguel C.

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.

Party on Western is a hole‑in‑the‑wall dive bar in the most affectionate way possible. The kind of spot where the lights are dim, the playlist is fire, and the walls have definitely seen some things they'll never speak of again. You walk in and immediately feel like you've joined a secret society of people who just want good music, strong drinks, and zero judgment. People will always judge...who are we fooling. lol!! The playlist? It was on point for the spot, it wasn't just good, it was spiritually aligned with my bloodstream. Every song slapped. Every beat felt like it was personally trying to fix my life choices. I swear one track looked me dead in the eyes and whispered, "You're doing amazing, sweetie." Let's talk about these drinks because they were flirting with me HARD. * Jack on the Rocks, a simple classic that's smooth, cold, and acting like it knew me from a past life. It slid across the bar like, "Hey stranger... miss me?" * Chilled Tequila Shot...Wow, this one didn't flirt. This one grabbed me by the soul and said, "We're making memories tonight." * Jack & Coke, it was sweet, bold, and absolutely lying to me. It told me I was the main character. It told me I was unstoppable. It told me I could dance. It was wrong... but I believed it. Ha ha ha! By drink three, I was ready to text people I shouldn't and tell the bartender my entire life story. Didn't happen though. Ha ha ha! Oh wait a minute...I almost forgot...I ordered some hot wings to set the tone, and let me tell you, they came in HOT like they were auditioning for a music video. Perfect bar wings: messy, spicy, and exactly what you need to convince your stomach that the tequila was a good idea. Typical bar food across the board, nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just the classics and messy at its best. But let's be real: the drinks are the main event. The food is just there to keep you from making catastrophic decisions. At one point I swear my Jack & Coke winked at me. The tequila shot told me I deserved happiness. The wings told me to stop being dramatic. And the playlist told me to live my truth. This bar didn't just serve me drinks, it emotionally supported me. For better or worse, get over it! "The energy you give is the energy you receive...always keep that in mind! Just be happy!" Miguel C.

Their price for renting a space was better than most in the South Bay which I appreciated and it came with the space, tables, and beer tokens. I do wish however that their drink menu had more options, as it's essentially only a few beers and that was it. They also let you cater your own food which I appreciated. However, the day of event was not great and we did not appreciate the hospitality of the main guy we worked with. The main guy was not kind or helpful and I would not chose to host here again because of him. Besides the tables for guests to sit on which were very dirty and not cleaned of previous food scraps, we only were provided a few tables to put our own food and items on. Considering it's a party rental space I would've expected there to be significantly more tables that we could use for our event. In addition, it was a hot summer day and they only provided us with a few umbrellas after we moved our event to the outdoor space to accommodate common space, leaving our guests hot and uncomfortable. He wasn't kind when we asked for additional tables/umbrellas and he also was extremely rude to me during the party which really bothered me. A couple of friends had given me wine bottles as gifts-a very normal gift to give. And they were clearly gifts and on the gift table, not intended to be drank or used. He aggressively came up to me and told me they can't be there, to which I explained I did not bring them and they are gifts and will be taken home with me and have no intention of opening. He proceeded to continuously tell me to remove them from the property even though I stated multiple times they were gifts and not to be drank. He was rude, unprofessional, and should have not chose to share this with me as I was in the middle of socializing with my guests and by no means wanted to "deal" with the few wine bottle gifts that weren't causing any issues. Overall, the brewery is cool and everybody else was great. But I would not choose to work with them again because of the lead man and encourage him to approach future events with a kinder heart and better professionalism as I imagine manyyy people will receive wine as gifts in the future and it is not right to harass them during their event if so.

We ordered the Clobster roll with fries, and I ordered the Connecticut Style lobster roll with no fries and a side salad. The side salad with ranch dressing definitely hit the spot! Unfortunately, the Cajun shrimp roll didn't do it for me. It needed more flavor and mostly tasted like mayo. After two bites, I decided not to eat it and gave it to my son. He enjoyed his meal, though! I also ordered another lobster roll to go, along with a soda and fries, for a friend of mine who works down the street at the barbershop. I was also gifted a juice and a huge cookie, which was a nice touch! If there's one thing I'd change, it would definitely be the bathroom. Other than that, I enjoyed the TVs, the overall look and feel of the place, the area, and especially the guitars and décor. Those details really gave the restaurant some character. Would I come back? Yes -- but I'd definitely try something different next time. Thank you, Rudy! Overall rating: 3.8/5

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
