Only problem is that every spot within walking distance was closed until 5pm. So rather than go home, we popped in here not really knowing what to expect and had a little drink before catching an Uber back home. I liked how the bartender immediately asked for ID from us both. My transition glasses hadn't even changed from dark to light before he asked and I couldn't see him properly, lol, which he actually noticed and acknowledged. My partner got a beer and I got a cider- they're cash only! That said, the prices are still what you're going to find anywhere else, so it kind of feels like they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. A few regulars were inside- I could tell by the way they all seemingly knew each other - which was nice. I imagine this spot gets plenty packed on the weekends or non-Sunday-post-brunch times.

(Drank 07/27/26 MO @ 4:00pm and many times before): The bar's former literal address was 4100…read moreSunset Blvd., so why use a different physical address now? Since I moved into the Silver Lake hipsterhood over 15 years ago, the 4100 Bar quickly became my local watering hole of a quasi dive bar. As I liked to say, "I rolled myself down the hill and later climbed my way back up" after a trip to this establishment. Formerly a distinguished dive bar called The Detour (which I also went to back in the day), it was overhauled and reopened under new ownership in 2001. Since then, it has become a staple in the community and celebrated its 25th anniversary as of this review. Although it's felt like I've been here 4100 times, would I continue to visit this corner neighborhood bar!? PURCHASE(S) Arts District Brewing 4100 Blonde Golden Ale Beer 5.00% ABV 16floz Draft ($5.00 HH): Rich amber color, light malty aroma, light body, light grainy malty sweet flavor, smooth finish, and light malty sweet aftertaste. West Coast Negroni ($10.00 HH): An interesting "beertail" that seemingly worked with its relaxing smooth taste; but honestly, I preferred the two separate to fully enjoy both. Arts District Brewing Traction IPA Beer 7.50% ABV 16floz Draft ($9.00): Bright amber color, light hoppy aroma, light body, light hoppy piney flavor, crisp smooth finish, and light hoppy aftertaste. Boilermaker (4100 Blonde) with Vodka Shot ($10.00 HH): I never understood the thought behind a liquor shot served with a beer whether it was done as a shot before or after the beer or dropped in such as the more famous Irish Car Bomb. From a marketing and sales perspective at a bar, it made sense, and maybe it got patrons drunk faster. However, from a taste perspective, it really was a waste of time and neither one or the other offered much as a pair. Boilermaker (4100 Blonde) with Whiskey Shot ($10.00 HH x3): See above. SERVICE Initially met by the front door security who checked IDs, I casually approached the bar and was greeted by a young man who easily and quickly took my orders throughout the time I was there. There wasn't any table service, so please bring your empties back to the bar and order another. Once it was time to close out, it was easy-peasy - cheers! PARKING (Varied: FREE this instance): I simply walked the five minutes from my place. Otherwise, there appeared to be some spots along the main drags of Sunset Blvd., Manzanita St., and all surrounding roads (please read all posted street signs) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A divey ramshackled-like building with a central four-sided bar, booths along all of the walls, two well-known photobooths (b/w 4pc strip $7.00), a pool table, and simply just randomness of decorations inside. Outside, there were several pool tables, a ton of communal wooden benches, and colorful tarps that shielded you from the rain and sun. Inside, minimal natural lighting entered through the windows and doors while a random assortment of electric ceiling and hung lights filled the rest. Out on the patio, there was plenty of natural lighting while a similar electric lights situation was present and the many street lights. I didn't recall seeing any TVs while music from a jukebox played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Why it took me so long to post a review for the 4100 Bar I had no idea, but I'm glad I finally did. They had a decent selection of beers on tap and liquor for cocktails or shots, no served food so bring your own (they also had catering and food trucks at times), the prices were comparable, the vibe was very kick-back, and the service was straightforward. They generally checked all of the boxes I hoped to find in a dive bar. Furry family members were allowed on the outdoor patio (water bowls available), there were Happy Hour specials (Daily until 8pm and MO-TU 10pm-12am), and almost certain nightly entertainment such as trivia, music, and more were available. I found very complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $70.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

My first bar experience in the US, and unfortunately it left a lasting bad impression…read more The security staff were very friendly, we got in without any issues, and we didn't have to wait long in line. The bar itself has a cozy atmosphere, and the photo booths are a great touch. We first ordered drinks from a female bartender who was friendly, professional, and served us quickly. The restrooms were clean and spacious. Having only two stalls for such a busy venue isn't ideal, but it could always be worse. Later, we went back to order another round. An older white bartender wearing glasses started serving us, and while he was preparing our drinks, he was also taking another group's order at the same time. I completely understood that since the bar was very busy. We ordered two Whiskey Sours and one of the bar's signature cucumber cocktails. The Whiskey Sours were served in margarita glasses without ice instead of traditional whiskey glasses. I assumed they had simply run out of the proper glassware because the bar was packed, so we didn't complain. The real problem started when it was time to pay. The bartender placed the payment terminal in front of the other group instead of us, and they accidentally paid for our order. Instead of acknowledging that it was his mistake, he immediately acted as if it was somehow our fault. We tried to resolve the situation calmly and even offered to pay the other group's bill and buy them an extra drink to make up for the price difference (their bill was about $31, while ours was around $45). When it came time for us to pay, I chose not to leave a tip because of the multiple mistakes that had already happened. At that point, the bartender completely lost his temper. In the middle of a packed bar, he raised his voice and started yelling at us, saying it was disrespectful not to tip him. He also complained that we had ordered drinks that weren't on the regular menu and that making them had taken him "so much time." As a bartender myself, I know exactly how long it takes to make a Whiskey Sour, and it's certainly not an unusually time-consuming cocktail. If preparing it had been a problem, he could have simply told us before taking our order. He continued shouting that the bar was extremely busy, called our behavior "disrespectful" and "f***ed up," and finally told us he would never serve us again. We were honestly shocked. This was the first time we've ever experienced someone reacting this aggressively simply because we chose not to leave a tip, especially after such poor service. I've worked in customer service for years, and I always tip when I receive good service. I would have had absolutely no problem leaving a generous tip if our experience had been pleasant. After that confrontation, we no longer felt comfortable staying in the bar, so we left immediately with a very negative impression. Looking back, I wish I had read the reviews beforehand. It seems that many of the negative reviews mention the exact same bartender. A truly disappointing experience.

I perused some of the other ratings here and have some context for some of the lower ratings: you…read morehave to be ready that this is actually a dive bar (or really a dive 'lounge') and be ok with it. What makes it a wonderful, unique and very cool bar setup: the divey location, the easy and potentially cozy and awesome celebratory experience because of the intimate 'dive' quality, and the fact that it has karaoke witha great system--you have to be able to reconcile that perhaps some other things won't be perfect. I'm not saying that this is for everyone, and I'm certainly not saying that we can't all have different priorities and tastes when going out. But what I am saying is: if you take this bar and lounge for what it is and roll with the punches a bit, then you will potentially love this place and have a lot of fun. For context, I have been going to bars, lounges, raves, parties, festivals, and everything else for a long time, and what I have learned is: things are sometimes going to take some unexpected or iffy turns. Often, you just have to roll with it as best that you can, and just as often: those iffy turns turn into some of the most memorable and even wonderful experiences. So that is what the Blue Goose Lounge offers: a really cool TRUE LOUNGE experience, with the lighting and cushy seating to prove it, with KARAOKE and a nice sound system, and a with an owner/bartender actually showing his personality instead of just being in service of you (yes, that might rub some people the wrong way, but I think it adds character to an establishment). It's possible that I've been lucky enough to not have had a 'bad' experience here--but it's also possible that I didn't even realize that was the situation. All in all, I've been here 3 times now and each time has been a fun and unique experience thanks to the atmosphere and setting, due to Doug the bartender, the comfortable lounge vibe, and because of the other patrons with a similar mindset. How else would you have a lounge with all of the GOOD things that I've mentioned without some of the idiosyncrasies? I don't know of another place like this for all of its good, and anything else that comes close as a drinking lounge either isn't this laid-back or requires spending a crazy amount of money to have a good time. Here, you get a divey karaoke lounge with genuine character.

When we finally got our beer, I told our server, Noah, that I could pour it myself if that would help. Instead of explaining the situation politely, he responded with attitude and said, "You know I can't serve you guys, right?" I apologized, but then he told us, "Nah, you guys have to leave." This was frustrating after waiting so long just to place an order. We were never rude or disrespectful to the staff, so the interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessary. I completely understand being busy, but customer service should still be respectful. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression despite the great welcome we received from Nate.

All I was seeking was to address the situation at hand and get an apology. However there were five witnesses to what happened. This is not a false claim. It's crazy ppl defend her attrocious behavior BUT not once has this interaction been addressed. I'm waiting for the moment she actually apologizes but it probably won't happen. My original review was actually helpful to a few people and I think this whole interaction has been proving my point. L move. To review, I took it upon myself to start a dialogue via social media and phone number PRIOR to posting my experience. Not once has there been attempt to rectify her behavior. Funny enough, another person who saw that interaction offered to buy me and my group drinks if we came back Saturday but I wouldn't go anywhere where I'm not welcomed. As per my original review, I granted my group messed up bringing in a drink. We granted you grace as well when we decided we would order drinks when your foot traffic slowed down. When you came to slam your hands at our table and yelled at us to leave said table for not having an open tab, you ALWAYS had the option of taking an order right then and there. You CHOSE to immediately walk away to which I had to go myself and try to open a tab. If you took me ordering a soda as me making fun of you, that was a YOU problem. I do not know you, this was my FIRST time here, we were celebrating a friend's birthday and we signed up for karaoke. YOU could have had a bad day which we granted but this whole interaction has been very telling. NOTE that the ball was always on this establishment's court to make the situation BETTER. All you had to do was say you're sorry for your behavior and even with my initial review, I STILL gave you grace.

Yesterday at 10 pm, I attempted to take my company for drinks following a team outing. I arrived first with 2 of my employees. Bartender working made us all super uncomfortable. He was very rude even your security had his eyebrows raised and shrugged. Dude was having a hard time changing out the receipt paper while we were waiting to check out. Came up to us crumpled the remaining paper in his hands in our face and said we'll need to wait longer while he changes it out. He could have just changed it instead of crumbling it in front of us like a psycho. I asked to close out my tab, there's other great bars in the area to which he couldn't recall the card name despite only being in the bar for 10 or less minutes. He asked for the name, I provided my business name (I manage 2 businesses and both teams came out for the outing). I mistakenly gave my other business name to which his response was " OH SO YOU DONT HAVE A LAST NAME". I was still so weirded out about his whole demeanor and really just wanted to leave. He made it so difficult. The card was not my last name, it was my second business. He then retorted with why I said my last name and like bro you repeatedly ( 3 times) asked if I didn't have a last name. ALL WHILE CONTINUOUSLY CUTTING ME OFF. Luckily AND unfortunately only 4 of us had arrived so I quickly diverted the other 15 of us to Normandie Bar ( DEFINITELY RECOMMEND) Karaoke looked set up but he said it's a slow Monday why would they bother. It's always the chopped guys making people feel uncomfortable. I've attempted to connect with Laura on LinkedIn as if I had an employee as such being the face of my business, I'd want to know ASAP. Funniest part of the night is when he said he was beverage director of 5 years and he created all the drinks we enjoyed ( PBR, Modelo, & Vodka Cranberry) what a guy! He then threatened to visit our company. I say threatened as in no way shape or form were any of us comfortable with him knowing where we worked and he 10000% knew it and used it. Very disappointed

Speaking of awesome, our server, Nayeli, has been there nine years and she is one of the newer servers! What does that have to say about the place? Huh? Nayeli made our visit extra special. Excellent service! The nostalgic vibe came with relatively nostalgic prices. We had steak and lobster for $35. That's right. It's the everyday price. The lobster tail itself would be $35 at most places and this was a big, fluffy tail. The steak, was cooked just right, but it was thin...I'd say about a half inch. Not sure what kind of steak it was, but it was tender and it's not a huge portion. Still, for the price, no complaints. The lobster tail alone is worth the price, and it comes with potatoes and carrots. A small dinner salad or soup are $2.49 extra. My friend had the salad. Good, fresh salad, small portion, but good. I had pea soup. Loved it. The complimentary warm bread tasted like sour dough. Nice! I was celebrating my birthday so I had a Manhattan or two.... They are $7.50 if you go for the house booze, I went for the premium and it was $12.50. Still way under what most places would charge for a premium liquor manhattan. I also tried the fish and chips. $13.90. The fries are perfect and so is the fish. No greasy taste. The have a large menu..ranging from burgers to steaks and the prices are very afffordable. It was really loud in there for the first hour I was there, because it's the kind of place where people like to get together to celebrate whatever they want to celebrate. After the two large parties left, it was nice and chill. The restrooms are in the lobby of the Gaylord. Not hard to find. Parking is validated at the Brown Derby parking structure on Alexandria.

We grabbed a couple drinks, the Tiffy Painkiller and Mai Tai. The painkiller was actually pretty good, basically being a version of a Pina Colada. The Mai Tai also has good flavor to it, so we were hair with the drinks. We also tried the Mango Sticky Rice which was better than I thought it would be, a good dessert type item. But the overall ambiance was fairly lackluster with the bar trying to bring about a tiki vibe with the rest of the seating area not following suit. Just felt disjointed.
