    Front entrance, a bit forboding
    Droid T.

    I wanted to like this place. It's conveniently located near the 118 on-ramp on Sepulveda. It's a long bar with a lot of space. And I'm sure for a pool or darts player, it does the trick. Unfortunately, it's just a depressing place. The windowless front wall gives off the message "go away". The rest of the strip mall, especially the nearby laundromat, is also depressing. On a Sunday night, the bar was empty except for about 5 - 10 pool / darts players (in that venue, even 10 people doesn't make a dent) -- and they didn't seem particularly excited to be there. Even the bartender, while courteous enough, gave the impression she'd rather be somewhere else. The men's bathroom was also somewhat smelly and run-down, and the bar only takes cash, no credit cards. If you're in the area and need a beer in public, or to play pool, I guess you've got a spot. Otherwise, you're probably better off with any of a dozen other North Valley places, like the Witches' Brew, Rabbit Hole, or even Sugar Suite or McG's.

    I swear there was beer in d mug! Lmao!

    It is what it is!!! Come by have a beer & relax. It's a local dive bar with flavor. I come because my buddy stops here every day after a long day at work. It's his favorite watering hole. Just a tall cold beer many on tap. Tip ur bartender. It is what it is.

    What can I say I love this place!…read more Blanca and Genesis are always the best when it comes to customer service!! They're super helpful and always have the best cocktail recommendations. This has to be one of my favorite bars in the San Fernando Valley. The vibes here are super chill. And I love how they offer free parking in the back. Their chicken chipotle panini with truffle fries is to die for I always find myself craving it. Also they make a super great dirty martini and to make it extra dirty I always ask them to add pickle juice SOO GOOD! I also have to say their undressed Bloody Mary is a 10/10 especially when it come with sum celery. THEIR COSMOS ALSO HIT THE SPOT! This place is so worth checking out!

    Finally a spot close to home where the food is decent and the drinks are good…read more I usually come with friends here. Drinks are aight. Nothing crazy but good. Good beer selection as well. I've had their burgers in the past which are good. Nothing life changing but solid. My favorites are the Brussel sprouts add bacon and Buffalo Chicken Tenders for apps. Both of these are great. The strips which I'm pretty sure aren't prepared in house but they're on the lighter breaded sided. So it's not all breading. The blue cheese is fantastic too. My always go to is the Steak Chimichurri Salad. This is amazing. Especially if you're doing low-carb / keto. Salad dressing is very light. Steak cooked perfectly. And the rest of the toppings are avocado, red onion and grape tomatoes add a subtle balance. Delicious. I always get this as it is filling and healthy. One thing I would avoid is the asada fries. Those were forgetful.
