I enjoy dive bars and usually a decent one will at least get three stars. This place had potential to be a nice little spot to drink cheap and hang out with friends. It had cheap drinks, it had a racially diverse crowd, it had pinball and pool table and apparently even some karaoke up in this joint. However, I came on a dead night, so all there was to do is pool and pinball and drink. So we decided to play pool, This is the part of the story where my night goes bad. See, there's a chalkboard to keep score, and I wrote down my name as "Me" and her as "Her". That is until some local or regular of the bar come up like a fucken gorrilla and erases my "Me" from the chalk board and says thats he's the only "Me" Them es fightent words, but I know this means i'd lose, so I let it go and wrote down a new name on the board, I write "YO, Y Que!", there were some friendly people too at that bar but whatever, I'd go back if i had too... read more

Just a cool friendly spot to have a drink or hang with friends. It won't win any prizes for decor originality or upkeep, but service is quick and courteous, purple enjoy themselves here, and there's darts and pinball. You also don't come across regulars who growl at new people here, unlike some other local places. Karaoke on Sunday also send to draw ut a good group of people ego rant to have fun. read more

See all

Chatsworth/Granada Hills/Northridge... set your GPS to one of those. It all gets kind of mish-mashed up there at that part of the Valley. No matter, you'll find it. It's easy. Parking on the street and some in the lot. Back door entrance where the smokers congregate. Crowded pool table, check. Strange dance floor, hybrid stage and pinball machines, check. Old looking bar with crappy high chairs, check. Whatever, let's rock. I'm giving Oh Gradys three stars for $4 Coors Lights because they keep the live rock alive on Friday and Saturday nights in the Valley. Where else is that happening? Keep on rockin, Oh Gradys. read more

Oh Grady's - Samurai Fish live 4-20-2013 - Dive Bars Near Me - Granada Hills, California

The 3 stars are for some of the best bands in the land that DO play here...but that's about one of the only two good thing I can say about this place. It's really worth it to go on the weekends for the loud music if you are feeling in a "sleazy" mood... go with some friends and have a rockus good time. "Real characters" go there.....have a conversation with them anyway cause it can be very interesting (another side of life). ... Sooo....go with the flow and have a good time with your friends.... dancing, drinking (if you wish-this is good place to get drunk)...have a good time...and overlook the confirmed "dive bar" aspecst of this place. Don't know when I will have the courage to go back. "HEE HAW" read more

This place rocks the valley dive bar scene. Saddle up, sit down, relish the cavernous confines and prepare to be plastered.

This place is pretty chill if you're looking for a local vibe. It's nothing super fancy but gets the job done. They have a full bar but don't get too fancy with your orders lol this ain't that kind of spot. Take your whiskey straight! read more

I rarely write reviews but I have never had such a horrible experience at any bar as I did here. Walked in with another couple, sat at the bar, my bf order a bud light, no problem. I order a vodka tonic, no problem, my friend ordered a Bloody Mary, there is a problem. the bartender straight out said no. At first we thought he was joking then she said "okay how about a Cadillac" he said something that I didn't catch. When her bf asked "hey, what about my girlfriend?" He said "I'll make it but it's annoying." So of course that was rude enough for us to say okay we are leaving. And he delightfully waved bye. We were there maybe 5 minutes? My bf was the only one to have gotten his drink and he had to pound it to leave. Never felt so disrespected in my life. I read that they cater to locals, we weren't. I'm shocked that it's as busy as it. read more

Worst bar ever, they dont pay attention to how much your tab is so you always have to be on guard

I went here on a first date and I had a pretty good time. The drinks were cheap and strong

Had a great time drinking green beer on St Patrick's day awhile back thinking of going back this year

People please don't be fooled . Although the drinks are cheap and they have live music In which each song is slaughtered and massacred . Somehow you are taken to the south through this hole in the wall bar . People here are above the age of 35 they still get buck wild and wear shirts with logos kind of like the ones you buy at target . The ac is on blast which is nice but it does not make up for the swingers theme they got going on here. Come at your own risk read more

If you like large spaces that are extremely loud and enjoy playing pool, are in a dart league then this is the place for you! Live music on the weekends and feisty bartenders at night! read more

You can't grade it based on what it's not. A lot of reviews on here calling it a "dump", but it is a dive bar so the standards must be in line. With that said, this place is a little disheveled and rundown but it comes with a charm. Oh Grady's carries every characteristic of a dive bar: worn down interior, bare bone aesthetic, cheap drinks, friendly staff and broken glasses warranting clean up throughout the night lol. My first time coming here on Thursday. The drinks are cheap and STRONG. Possible overpouring by the bartenders that may not be the best for business but it makes for happy customers. I'm not a lightweight and two gin and tonics had me buzzin, each costing 5 dollars so won't break the bank at all. They don't have the best beer selection, but if you don't mind that it shouldn't be a deterrent. The pool table is solid, will need a re-felt in the next couple of years. Patrons are friendly, and it very much has a locals vibe. People running into each other is always a good sign. The bartender is a wrestling fan, which is always a delight. I was fretting coming here given that Granada Hills/chatsworth area night life is barren and lackluster but this place definitely dispelled my misconceptions. I'll be keeping this place in mind for a return visit! read more

$20 minimum on CC purchases. Boo! A very buzzed woman dancing alone in front of juke box made for an awkward experience. She was playing really wierd music too so that added to the danky-ness. However, they did have good AC...when it was on. So there's that. Oh...and there were a few gnats and a faint smell. Lol. BUT I actually liked the bar...it's a frekkin dive bar. It's all good. read more

Been here about 40 times. Over the last year this place has really gone downhill. Walked in last Saturday saw a guy puke on the bar and condiments right in front of the bar tender. She didnt care or clean it up. I walked right out. This place has become sticky and gross. The element has changed here too. Only plus note is that the bands on the weekends are usually pretty good. read more

The only reason this place gets a star is because there is no option for no stars. Went in for a beer 10mins before last call bartender (large blonde woman) avoided my friend and I. We get it, it was late but it literally takes one minute to take two beers out of the cooler. My friend was practically doing cartwheels to try and get the bartenders attention. Bartender walked towards us (still no eye contact) stopped half way at the register so my friend started to say "I know it's last call but..." , she was cut short by the bar tender who yelled there's no service, turned from the register giving us her back and walked to the end of the bar and proceeded to have a conversation with the people on the end. Very unfortunate. I live a few blocks away and would have been nice to have a bar this close. read more

If you are into live bands this is your place on Friday and Saturday. Bar has been around forever. Decent size and the owners are really cool. Reasonable drink prices. Darts, pool table and plenty of TV's. Live music is pretty rare these days so they get 5 stars. read more

Don't get me wrong this place has great prices and fantastic service, but some of the people that come here are just cracked out of their minds and looking for a fight. It really takes away from what the place deserves. They need to get some security or something here to sort out some of the trash that comes in. The owner is a lovely person and she and the amazing female bartender who is usually there are the sole reason I will continue to come back here. The inside is also very warm and nice. Good vibes until the crack heads get there later in the night. read more

An Irish bar that caters to their regulars. Bar tenders are rude. I was not impressed. Maybe they could have had more help during the holidays, so that you don't have to wait an hour for a drink and then decide to close out your tab because they skip you to provide for their regular. read more

Kind of far from my side of town, but its all good. Had a Farwell get together for a good friend here and it was not bad. Like I said the drive was there, but the folks behind the bar, were really cool. If I am back in this area, I would stop by again. read more

This place is horrible its mouth that beer your vodka tastes like old dirty socks horrible service I cannot believe that they are still up and running when they don't know how to conduct a business read more

I'll put it to you this way, a chick literally puked 3 ft from me INSIDE the bar and no one even looked or thought twice. The puke just lay there in the middle of their so called "dance floor". I also stepped in puke outside the bar heading in. Yes it was st Patrick's day and I know it's an Irish bar, but still, never coming back. Bar fly sanctuary. Not for the young or faint of heart. P.S. One of the bartenders is a real ----. read more

Hidden little bar in the valley. For years I've driven past this place and never noticed. Should have stayed that way. Completely a locals bar atmosphere. Stopped by here with friends for a quick drink heading off to another place. Place was packed for a Saturday night. The live band on the little stage was playing great variety of classic rock songs. Place was nice but don't think I'll be back. Not my kind of bar. Some of the locals were just rude. read more

Make no mistake, this is a dive bar, however it's still a pretty fun spot. Its also a "local bar" as the majority of the patrons are regulars. The drinks are fairly cheap and not watered down. There is live music on Friday and Saturday nights by primarily cover bands (that's ok because the last thing I want to hear at a bar is new stuff). The service is fast and courteous. Overall, I'll give it five stars because the prices are right, there is no cover charge and the atmosphere is pretty laid back. Thats about pretty much all I can ask from a local dive bar in Granada Hills... read more

Great bartenders and awesome locals. They have darts and pool. Great spot on Fridays after food trucks on Chatsworth. Have live bands on the weekend and karaoke Tuesday and Sunday! read more

Just wanted to do a shout out to Mike. He's a great bartender. I look so forward to getting off work and stopping by to say hello. Thanks to you and oh gradys :) read more

This place is great for what it is, a local neighborhood bar with GREAT- CHEAP drinks, American Ale on Tap! (Which I love) Really good live bands every weekend! .... It's not Snazzy but it's cool. I like live rock bands and there are not many places that have them with out having to pay a cover...... so this place is awesome! HAVE CASH - No cards, you can bring in a pizza if you want. Great Place read more

These other reviews are mean. I have seen skanky dive bars and Oh Grady's is not that bad at all. Liquid Zoo in Van Nuys is nasty. Oh Grady's is not bad at all. Great lay out if you want to see music, dance floor, easy to park. It's nothing amazing but it's not bad at all. read more

Last few times we have been to Oh Grady's on a Saturday night, no live music...just doesn't feel the same. Bring back the bands.

Not bad at all! My roommate told me about this place and on a Tuesday night we headed over there. It's a divey bar with cool people, great drinks, and some fun karaoke. Living in LA you can become jaded with all the flakiness and pretentiousness, but not this place. I will definetly be back! read more

Good place to chill and watch a game. Relaxing atmosphere and a good way to start your week. Definately chill during the week.

Typical dive bar. Last visited on a Sunday night and it was karaoke night. Came in around 10, seemed like a crowd of usuals and the pool room in the back was pretty busy. I wish I had known it was cash only (maybe a sign on the front door?) but after ordering our beers (from the limited tap selection), I had to use their in-house ATM that didn't work initially because the phone was off the hook. The karaoke DJ was fun though and I even sang a song or two. The usuals are probably what drag the bar down and some new blood could pick this place up. I'd like to check this place out on a Sunday/Monday during football as they had ample flatscreen TVs for viewing. read more

I don't get to go out very often, but when I do I usually end up at Oh Grady's. The bartenders and the customers are all really friendly. The drinks are always great and fair priced. I love it at Oh Grady's! read more

Awesome place! Mary Lou is an amazing bartender and the people here are also amazing! Drinks are strong and cheap!!

I definitely enjoy the vibe here. Plus, the drink prices are a steal! For some mixed drinks, it's almost the same price as draft beer prices at other restaurants. I didn't have to break the bank to have a great time with friends. Plus, it's easy to hammered when the drinks are so affordable. This is a pretty cool place to hang out at. I would definitely come here again. read more

Luv this bar for the FREE live music on Fri & Sat nights. Yea, cash only bar but "hello," most neighborhood dive bars are cash only. Along with great music and lower than most bar prices on bevs, there's a pool table, darts, and dance floor. The atmosphere is very casual...another plus! and free parking right out front. Good news, I hear the owner is working with some local food trucks for Fri and Sat nights. Great idea! read more

I really don't have nothing really bad to say but I lived in Granada Hills for a long time I'm a local and when I finally came to come here I felt out my comfort zone the people stay to themselves and looked and me and my friend like we didn't belong there, funny because they are really awesome to my dad who works up the street from them, they often order food from him all the time, once they saw my dad come in they were cool read more

I went for the first time last night, it had a good atmosphere with a lot of live entertainment. Not bad for a dive bar.

I Went into checkout the live music,!!! it was great, the bands rocked, though the bar is small. they had v good service and friendly crowd!!! the drinks were very reasonable, and overall a great place for a night of "rock n roll" and a few drinks!!!I'm gonna go back for sure, made a few friends there too..!!! read more

This bar has the best drinks and best customer service in the San Fernando Valley, it also has great atmosphere and the people are great.
