    Great little cocktail lounge with a nice ambiance. We come for happy hour which used to have better (IMO) drinks than it does now (please bring back the espresso martini on HH!). But it's definitely a value. The service is good for how few people appear to be working a shift. I would like to come back for one of the music nights.

    Tried neat on Halloween night on a double date Ambiance is cute Dark with mood candles and read leather chairs Flowers hang from the roof They have kitschy decor behind the bar, like a sign that has the exact date prohibition was abolished - which was brought to our attention by another patron as it allegedly ended on his birthday lol Theres a stack of free games to choose from in the corner if you and your party get tired of talking over the music They offered 6$ halloween shots I had a couple lemon drops that got me a little tipsy My date had 4 old fashions, it wasnt until the 4th that they finally put cherries in his drink so not sure if drinks being mixed are consistent across bar tenders Cute lil bar with a chill vibe Id go back to try their espresso martini and maybe check out their live r&b nights

    Has some time to kill while my girlfriend was at yoga. So I popped into this slow bar nearby Sawtelle, and to my surprise, they were stocked up with some amazing rare whiskies and tequila, and I had one of the best old-fashioned I've had in a while. Highly recommended will definitely be coming back.

    we love the unassuming charm this place has. normally, you wouldn't expect a bar so quaint yet sophisticated on pico blvd. there's also many options on the menu to choose from. they had me at the red hot chili pepper cocktail, a five-star mezcal hit.

    Cute spot that was decorated for the holidays. Good cocktails, I liked the menu with so many different options separated out by what type of spirit or drink you want. Decent happy hour, too. Can get a little rowdy and crowded, so it's better to come earlier to find seats. I think that's my only downside, really -- it seems like it should be a cocktail bar that's a little quieter and calmer than it ends up being. But if you're in the area, it's a good spot to try.

    This is such a great place! I had a 20s themed birthday here and everyone had a great time. They allowed us to bring outside food since they don't serve any which was perfect. They have a happy hour so my friends and family were able to partake in some discounts. The drinks are so great. It can be a bit dark but the decor matches the vibe.

    We didn't have food but the ambiance was chill . Good place to take a first date and talk . The bartender was cool. It was cool to try once but won't be coming back.

    This bar has the best cocktails down Pico. You can tell there's a lot of thought and care being put into each one. It's a great place for a small outing with friends or even a first date. They do not have TVs. They do have board games or table games available. There is street parking but that can be tough depending on the day. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quality cocktail.

    This place was quite the surprise for me! I was visiting some friends in the area and we decided to walk over here since it's nearby and they had been here before. Excellent choice! The drinks that they whip up here are delicious! I ordered a few different ones. I truly loved the first one I got (I wish I remembered the names). The second one was good. I really like the ambiance and dim lighting here. It's truly a great place to take someone on a date I'd say. I love the colorful lighting around the ceiling that makes it feel festive and cozy! I'm not sure if it's there year-round or if it's because it was right after Christmas, but please keep it up all the time! I'd definitely recommend this place. Just be aware you'll be spending around that $18-22 mark for cocktails!

    My friend and I had dinner at Sawtelle and decided to check out a few bars. Neat has replaced the former Liquid Kitty to become more trendy and classy. The bar is dark and intimidate. Bartenders were all friendly. To be honest, I didn't have much expectations going in but I was absolutely blown away by this place! I ordered the 1-2 punch and it was absolutely delicious like dessert. It consisted of aged rum, rose aperitivo, pinot noir, strawberry, and milk wash. I had to google a few of the ingredients lol but it was so amazing that I had to order a second one! Neat is probably my favorite bar in West LA right now. I will actually make it a point to return when I'm in the area.

    Great bar, has a really good ambiance, great selection of whiskey and they play some really great music. Service is good. Haven't tried their food. If you are looking for a small spot to hang out and is nothing crazy then this would be your place. 90's music(hiphop and RnB)

    I'm taking a woman here for drinks on our 1st date. I just want to make sure your place is not too loud for gettin-to-know-you conversations:-). How loud is it?

    We are well known as a first or multi date spot, as our focus is for our guests to engage with each other. It's quiet enough to be able to listen to each other without having to shout or repeat and loud enough that you have your privacy.

    Is there a dj on some nights? I wanted to do a bday with some dancing.

    We always have music playing inside the bar but we do not have a DJ. We have live music on the first Thursday of every month.

    Are we allowed to bring our own food inside the bar?

    You are! We encourage BYOF.

    What type of live music is there, and when? Thanks!

    A mix of funk and rock mostly. Every Thursday night starting at 9pm. Thank you!

Most of the bars are dive bars in downtown Santa Monica, and parking is quite accessible for this place. So I'd recommend for that reason. In terms of the drinks, I'm a huge fan of cocktail but I would say their menu selections are a bit limited. Nothing in the signature cocktail looks interesting to me, so I had the bartender make a classic cocktail instead. He's very attentive and friendly, didn't take forever to get a drink either, no attitude. Drinks aren't watered down either. Nice! You come here to grab quick drinks when you don't feel like being at a loud dive bar in the area, it's in a hotel but not too upscale, no strict dress code. Music is not loud and they have couches and booth if bar table if not your thing, you don't have to yell or pretend you hear everything to hold a conversation here (lol). ** Keep in mind 20% gratuity is automatically included in bill, it's my first time here. But I think I've other spots I'd prefer to be in, even at Santa Monica. Wouldn't be self-motivated to come back because there are better places that specialises mixology, and there are also better upscale hotel bars to be at. But if you're around the area it's a great intimate bar for date night that's not overly pricey. Wouldn't travel all the way to here just for this (if you know what I mean).

The late night happy hour is straight-up unbeatable. Insanely good deals that keep going later than most places in the city. Perfect for anyone looking to grab drinks and bites without breaking the bank after a long day (or night). The service was fantastic too. Irene, Danny, and Emma took such good care of us -- super attentive, friendly, and knew the menu inside out. They made the whole experience even better. And can we talk about the tacos?! They are PACKED with meat, seriously loaded, and honestly the best deal in town. Flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying. We kept ordering more rounds because they were that good. If you're in LA and want a fun, chill vibe with great food, strong drinks, and people who actually care about their customers, The Rosegold Saloon is the spot. Can't recommend it enough!

It doesn't just look good, it pulls you into a different mood the moment you walk in. The space is thoughtfully split. One side has a cozy fireplace with lounge seating that feels intimate and elevated. The other side opens up into the bar with dining tables up front, giving it a more social, slightly livelier energy. Drinks are absolutely amazing. Crafted well, balanced, and consistent. But what really stands out is how the ambiance takes over the entire experience. The crowd shows up. Well dressed, confident, and adds to the overall vibe instead of taking away from it. Some places you go just for drinks. Here, the ambiance takes it to another level. It feels like an experience, not just a night out.
