    A nice neighborhood bar, no complaints. Cool place to hangout and have a beer and chat with a friend.

    What a very cool tavern. Happy hour every day until seven. Jason took really good care of us. Very friendly and speedy service. A couple of dart boards for your enjoyment and they even have karaoke night. Although they don't serve food, you can stop at sushi Dan or Joe's Pizza right there in the same strip mall and bring the food into the tavern with you. Really cozy inside with a beautiful bar and comfortable booths and some large hightop tables. Love the brick walls and they've got it nicely decorated for Halloween! Will definitely be back!

    I've been coming to Residuals for years, since it was called Maeve's Residuals. It's always been a modest spot for locals - you'll see a lot of "regulars"; many of them are there every night. I would never take L.A. visitors here; it's too much like a small-town bar you'd find anywhere in the USA. However, there is a glaring difference from a Midwestern local watering hole...I have met several celebrities here, from television actors of yesteryear to former child stars of some beloved childhood films to blockbuster action heroes. Plan to order beer or basic cocktails here. There's no food menu, but you can bring in your own eats. It's in a strip mall with a small car park in a not-frantic area of Studio City, so parking is usually not a hassle.

    GREAT BARTENDER- CRAPPY KARAOKE KJ. Ive frequented this watering hole on numerous occasions over the past few years and have always found the quality of cocktails superior! The bartender knows his mixology and the crowd is usually upbeat and interactive. Even the bouncer at the door is extremely personable and ive had numerous conversations with him when outside enjoying a cigar... The above notwithstanding, the KJ at Residuals is a deal breaker. He cares nothing about the sound system, leaves the microphione settings at the same level as the previous singer, be it a man, woman, strong voice or soft and has no clue on keeping continuity. So igniorant is he on the sound system, there is virtually no reverb, which makes everyone sound as though they are singing at a political podium, void of any toned resonance and he does not modify the controls to best suit the voices of the individual. He hits the switch and tuirns away, never giving attention to how the singer sounds, miuch like a waitress who brings yiur food and never returns to see if all ios ok. once the song starts, he immediately begins a bantered conversation with whom ever is standing nearby, mostly chatty women which whom he is trying to impress. He is perhaps in the top three worst KJ's in the many bars I frequent throughout the city and clearly doesn't know what he is doing, or cares. His inability to harmonize a duet was an audible apocalypse, unbalanced, unrefined and further distracting by his boisterous rude chatter during our performance. Last night, the microphone was on such a low level, that even the guests were holding a cupped hand to their ear, struggling to hear the vocals. I walked off stage mid song and the KJ didnt even notice until I had walked outside. Im considered a patient and courteous patron, and an excellent tipper (usually 50%) but I WILL NEVER VISIT RESIDUALS AGAIN.

    One of my preferred dicey bars to go to. Most days it's pretty chill but he can get busy on games days or when there's karaoke. So if you prefer to sit I would come early on those days. I love karaoke nights - the crowd is usually pretty fun. Bartenders have always been nice and they have a pretty good draft selection. They don't serve food but you can bring in your own pizza or wings.

    This place is a A GEM. I normally don't gravitate towards taverns but this place is special. The bartenders are SO KIND AND WELCOMING. Most importantly, this place is CLEAN and SPOTLESS. They have a jukebox system where you can play anything that fits your vibe. Sundays and Tuesdays they have karaoke and it's always a hit! Ask the bartenders for some fun stories and celebrity sitings. JASON/ DESMOND/ JOSH You make this place worth coming back DAILY! The happy hours are great but I've never experienced such amazing service from the bartenders!! If you're a regular, they remember you by name and your drink order is ready right when you sit down. I often come here during their daytime HH and work - no kidding, I'm not the only one! I bring my laptop and all! After cranking away at work, yes I get a little hungry but that's also not a problem b/c right next door there is delicious Mexican food and across the way there's pizza and the bar allows you to bring it in and enjoy. Thank you so much for being amazing and so chill + great vibes!! Come here, bring your friends, play darts or chill and grab a few drinks you won't regret it.

    Local bar in Studio City, Los Angeles, California in a cool plaza of restaurants and fun spots on Ventura Blvd just before Vineland Avenue. It's got a dive bar vibe, but pretty well upkept with an assortment of spirits, wine and domestic, imported and craft beer on tap or bottle/can still. This longstanding bar pub shares a lot with Sushi Dan, Vegan Studio, Drip N Roll Ice Cream Shop, Supercuts and a gaggle other businesses. So you can grab a bite before you sip a pint. There is some limited parking in the lot but even more on the street with few restrictions. The bartenders are super nice and quick. Plenty of places to sit. They have karaoke on Sundays and Tuesday and daily specials during the week including happy hour Monday through Friday. Including Fireball (Whiskey) Fridays and Two (dollars) off Tequila (& Margaritas) Tuesdays. Fun fact: Residuals was featured on the first episode of Barry, starring Bill Hader. They're all decorated up for the month of October, play great music and a neighborhood San Fernando/LA Valley must.

Their long hours (early morning until 2am) mean there are a couple of shifts of staff per day, but I most often find Jodie behind the bar, and she's one of the nicest bartenders in town. Lighthearted and well-spoken, she can chat with anyone about almost anything, and she manages the crowd well. She's a good egg who's seen it all, but seems to treat every day like it's possible to get through without any problems. There's no food for sale here, but they're happy to have you bring or order in anything you like, and you'll often see people at the bar eating meals from the many local restaurants. There are 8 TV's mounted around the place (plenty for its size), so you can watch a game if you like, and the digital jukebox is easy to manage from an app on your phone. Plus, they've got solid, reliable WiFi, in case you're sick of sitting in Starbucks. Drinks are modestly priced and generously poured, and there's ample parking, both in the lot out back and on the un-metered street out front. This may not be the right place for a marriage proposal, but it's definitely the right place to hang out and cool off in the dog days of summer.

It's become so much more than just one of our favorite bars and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The biggest reason, though, is the people. Hospitality is something that's hard to fake, and the team here does it effortlessly. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted like an old friend. Over the years, the staff has created an environment that feels welcoming, comfortable, and genuinely personal, and that's something that's become increasingly rare. Matt, Sabrina, and the entire team are all such gems. Scott also deserves special recognition. He's a huge part of what makes The Rendition Room such a special place. Whether he's introducing a new cocktail, sharing the story behind a spirit, or simply taking the time to check in, his passion and care for every guest shine through. It's people like Scott who transform a great bar into a place you truly feel connected to. On our most recent visit, we tried the new Decade & Debauchery cocktail, celebrating The Rendition Room's 10 year anniversary, and it's phenomenal. Balanced, and beautifully executed. In a city full of great bars, they have managed to create something much harder to find, a sense of community. After all these years, it still feels just as special as the first time we walked in.
