Cool bar to hang out at. They don't have food, so you need to bring your own snacks, but they do have chips. The service is good, and the environment is nice. Also, the music is good. After eight or nine, the drinks are pretty good too -- not watered down and reasonably priced. My fave spot to turn up after a long week with my hubby read more

Chucky is hands down one of the best bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the moment you sit down, he makes you feel welcomed with his great energy and friendly personality . He has the ability to read the room and connect with customers. Whether you want to chat and laugh or just enjoy a quiet drink, he gets it. He's fast, attentive, and somehow manages to keep everything running smoothly even when it's busy. I'll definitely keep coming back--5 stars all the way! read more

Had ordered a tequila and pineapple just how we had previously ordered. Bartender mistaken our order with a Henny + pineapple and we had kindly mentioned if he can change our order back and gave us attitude (customer is always right. I worked in customer service/ sales) yet still charged us a Henny price instead of tequila when he changed our order which was double the price. (Not cool at all!) if there's a Next time can we just get the right order as Requested with out the ugly faces and not get a up charge ? Thanks.... read more

I've been coming to this bar for a while now, and it never disappoints. The space and people are always inviting, relaxed, and just the right amount of lively. What sets this place apart is the staff. While they are consistently busy being friendly and attentive, they seem to enjoy what they do genuinely. Whether you're a regular or just dropping in, they make you feel welcome every time. read more

The customer service was fantastic and the atmosphere was amazing! However, when I came to watch the Dodgers playoff game, the TV sound wasn't working, and they didn't make an effort to fix it. They don't serve food, but you're welcome to bring your own. read more

Not for out of towners! Left the COSM and staying in a hotel near the airport, this bar looked good as we like divy type places. Music was so so, the staff were nice but you could tell they were over it, drinks were good. We had our drinks felt totally unwelcome, targeted and left. read more

Always good vibes, great music & drinks are tasty! If you're looking to dance and party, Friday and Saturday nights are packed!! Service is a bit slow but it's expected because like i said it gets very busy. read more

Very chill place with a great dj, bar service was very good. Take care of their customers pretty well!

Been here once and it was amazing . That bartenders are great and even got to meet owner Albert. Real humble guy . (A.k.a Dj Clap) read more

The Corner Bar - Bars Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I came to this bar last Friday night to celebrate a friend's birthday. Upon arrival it was packed! We could barely get in. This could be a good/bad thing depending on how you feel. It took at least 10 minutes to get the bartenders to even make eye contact to take our drink order. A nice gentleman at the bar made a point to get one's attention. The bartender nodded at him but he proceeded to not even care. He along with another bartender could've easily taken our order, but instead they'd rather joke around. When they finally took my order, I will admit the drinks were STRONG. Probably to compensate for the delay. Not bad. I couldn't complain about my Mai Tai's. The DJ was pretty good that night. They mixed some old hits mixed with current ones. The crowd was cool, everyone seemed pretty friendly. No fighting & no creepy behavior. The night turned left when my friend had her phone stolen. Some lowlife straight took her phone from the table we reserved. I'd beware of your property when you come here. People may walk up and mingle with you, while another person comes up on your stuff. It was a vibe here outside of the slow bartenders & thievery. Definitely may think twice before coming here. Unfortunate. read more

Real cool chill spot. Youngest crowd would be like early 30's but it's mostly older heads. This spot has a juke box with good music choices and pool tables. If you are looking for a really cool chill dive bar then this is your place. Service was good when I went here. Didn't get to try the food though. read more

Very small intimate bar, the staff is very friendly! Even the ones that don't speak English. The music machine was super high tech, took a minute to figure out. THE DRINKS ARE BOMB. Strong & BOMB! They are NOT stingy w/ the liquor. We had 2 strawberry mango Bellinis and 6 margaritas (in total split between two people) The ONLY Downside is THEY DO NOT serve food, I repeat THE DO NOT SERVE FOOD. Literally the only downside, because some bar wings would of SLAPPED w/ the drinks! I recommend for sure just don't come on a empty stomach! read more

Had an awesome night, this place is a hidden gem. instantly loved the vibe. A killer playlist/ DJ that added to the laid-back yet classy atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. All the bartenders were not only fast and attentive, but genuinely fun to chat with. You can tell they take their bartending skills seriously here. Everything came out quickly, and even though the place was getting busy, the service never lacked. The crowd was a great mix--dates, small groups, and a few solo folks at the bar. It had energy without being chaotic, which is exactly what I like in a bar. Definitely recommend this place if you're into quality cocktails and chill, grown-up vibes. I'll be back for sure. read more

Mmmm I like this place they give good drinks, the people here are friendly and we have fun playing pool and the music is on point and you can chill with no issues I love u pussy boy By rocket power read more

This place definitely has all of the bones of a good bar: Polite patrons Mixed crowd Different genres of music Amazing drinks (try the cucumber shots) Pool TV Super nice bartender's HOWEVER, The owner was behind the bar and came to where we were and angrily said "do NOT smoke your weed or your vapes inside the bar!!" Shooed his hands. ..and walked away. I don't smoke, neither does the person that came with me. Then a man sitting next to us, pulls out his vape pen and puffs out smoke. So we call over the owner, and tell him who is actually smoking. And what does he do? POLITELY asks the man to not smoke inside and to make sure he does that stuff outside. The owner gave a half assed apology, while still being rude, and walked away. Definitely soured our entire experience. I don't live in the area anyway but I highly doubt I'd be back. If the color of my skin makes you assume I smoke weed and to be angry and aggressive straight off the bat when interacting with me, then my money isn't going to be spent here. Dear reader please ensure you are of a lighter hue when visiting this establishment, especially with the owner ;( read more

Following up a year later from my original review. Yelp is glitched and I cannot reply normally. No, I am not mistaking The Corner Bar with another business. A friend from my group must have brought food from somewhere else. I have not visited this place since the bad experience I had and thankfully haven't seen this kind of service from every bar I've been to since. Again, if you want strangers ordering drinks on your tab, go to The Corner Bar in my hometown. read more

Went there with group of friends drinks were great they have really good selection of whiskey. We didn't try and food. Literally on corner small bar. Great vibes. Mixed crowd. Bartenders are sweet have a pool table and a jukebox you can put money in to hear your jams. read more

Muy buena atención y la comida súper recomendado , si quieres estar en lugar cálido este es el lugar perfecto

Came to corner bar a few nights ago with some friends, and we had an amazing time!! The staff was very friendly and helpful considering it was my friends first time at the bar and the bartenders were understanding and helped her find her drink. Bathrooms were very clean surprisingly considering you never see that at a dive bar. The whole bar was actually clean, the staff took good care of the place and it showed l! Definitely coming back read more

The corner bar is absolutely amazing! Me and my friend come here all the time. Everyone that comes in is so nice and friendly including the workers. They make drinks so good. If you ask them to watch your drinks they will. Even when it's busy they still get to you as quickly as possible. Never been to a better bar than Corner Bar. Overall 10/10 would definitely recommend! If you're looking for food they don't have food....but they have chips and you're able to bring food. read more

Owner was kind so I feel bad writing this but I have to because nobody should be mistreated for no reason this guy serving drinks was mean like beyond disrespectful this place is to nice for that kinda attitude and not even dressed well , I asked to buy a drink mind you I was waiting for like 20 minutes with my arm out trying to get someone's attention , so we get outside and the guy that served the drinks was outside as well and he continues with his faces and smart remarks towards women outside , so I asked the guy if he speaks to men the same way he was speaking to me when I was being respectful, and he asked if I was threatening him ? Like I come from west Covina and I never experienced a "worker or workplace " like this I felt so offended especially since I came there with a positive attitude and to have a good time at this bar , and I left feeling really hurt and offended by this man . read more

The Corner Bar wins the award for Cleanest Dive Bar Ever. It is definitely a dive (meaning: Bar-Tv-Pool table-period). If you love just a quality Dive... this is it. It is a borderline sports bar too. Dude, the 'TV's per-capita' alone-- has to be the best in West LA. Bottomline-- It is clean, well maintained, and the staff knocks it out of the park here. You can tell the place is well managed, and it's just an all around quality experience every time. They have a top-notch selection of beers on tap, as well as cocktails. Not to mention the beautiful pool table to pick up a game on. The patrons/locals are friendly as well, and it is a great vibe here every time. read more

Love this place! Came on a Wednesday and it was absolutely amazing with amazing service. Little diver bar with big bar energy! Chucky the boss man is absolutely amazing and super hospitable. Cute bar, amazing ambiance, great music, great drinks. Definetly will be coming back. read more

All I have to say is this is...THE PLACE. If you're a cute lil hometown babe in South Bay. Games are always on, people are a vibe, bartenders are cool as sh*t. Especially the tall hunk behind the bar.. CHUCKY (aka the boss man). Seriously, so kind and genuine. Thanks for making this place feel comfortable. Keep up the good work Corner Bar. You can tell you have many regulars and close relationships with your customers. It's a small bar but cozy with a pool table, lots of tables, long bar to sit at and lots of ventilation. Also a dance floor that isn't ready for my cowgirl boots. Cheers CBAR. Mothereffin 11 stars out of 10. read more

Too crowded on some days. I spent about 30 minutes just waiting to get a drink and wasn't able to get one. Some days the place is packed like sardines. I like going here when it's chill and not too many people read more

Great service , even when it was packed and poppin off! Fabian made the best drinks and was on top of everything, make sure to ask for him. Wonderful time here! read more

no review on the bar itself. I've gone twice first time was with a friend me and him had never been to a bar so we said why not this one since it's close by, left immediately. got mad dogged by the whole bar as soon as we walked in maybe bcz we we're the youngest?(21). 2nd time was today bcz my gf mom left her phone there and same as last time everyone stared me down. Some guy almost fought over some girl, super packed, everyone looked over 30. Unless you're tryna crack an older person, maybe get down, or hear people argue then this a perfect place for you. no judgement on the staff at all or the drinks security was actually chill. Just letting people know the type of people you run into here are a hit or miss and so far only met the misses or maybe come at an earlier time. read more

I've been coming to this place forever and I've seen it evolve over the years. I love the vibe Albert has created. The pool table is in pristine condition, and there's never a shortage of shooters. The list can get pretty long so come early. My favorite bartenders are Luis, Oscar, Cristian, and Albert. Drinks are good, company is even better. Friday and Saturday nights have a dj and it gets pretty crowded. Bathrooms are super clean! Plus you can watch any sporting event. There are TVs throughout and a great sound system. As Drake would say, come thru! read more

By far the best bar in the South Bay hospitality and there very welcoming home away from home everyone makes me feel very welcomed from the manager to the owner , the restrooms are very clean , all sports channels are available very friendly environment very recommended read more

Highly recommend the guava margarita! Nice crowd no drama and DJ was great. We're from Chicago and weren't sure if we would vibe with the ppl there but we definitely did. Glad my sister invited us we had a great time. read more

Que in the theme song now, "Where everybody knows your name..." Yup, it's that kinda bar. Everyone seemed friendly and happily getting drunk. The crowd was super hyped up once the song Tragos de Amargo Licor came on. Tip: Drink specials are posted on both ends of the bar so check those out. Also, the house Cab is surprisingly an elegant choice. It reminds me of Silver Oak. The bartender mentioned that him and his brother hand picked that particular wine and is their go to wine. I can see why and will forever be mine too! Definitely, check out the Corner Bar if you're in the area. read more

The corner bar is the authentic neighborhood bar in Hawthorne. The crowd is cool. The micheladas are tasty, plenty of honeys, and the music is poppin'. But really the service is great. The drinks are affordable. There's good music and cool people. Check it out! read more

So the Corner Bar is definitely a great place to hang out, listen to great music, and enjoy the vibes. But there's this one bartender there, Gus, yeah fuck that guy. Nice guy and great service but, fuck him. Drinks are good too! read more

In town on business and staying near LAX. I prefer local places when traveling, so I decided to try The Corner Bar in Hawthorne on a Sunday evening. The bar is definitely a "locals" place, but the guys behind the bar and the patrons sitting next to me at the bar were all friendly. The bar area was spotless and very organized. All of the employees were working hard. Everyone was moving all the time, making drinks, cleaning the bar, etc. I don't know who owns/manages this place, but their people are well-trained. They have about a dozen beers on tap. Whoever chooses the selections has an eye for beer. There was something for everyone. A few craft brews and a number of best sellers, from IPAs to Belgian whites. The liquor selection was pretty complete, including some really decent whiskeys. The bar has a really nice vibe. It was casual, with good music and friendly people. A really diverse crowd, who all seemed to be there to have a good evening. Highly recommend. read more

Best bar in town. I come here for special occasions (bdays bdays and bdays) and every time there's something memorable about this place that you'll never forget. Feels like a man cave, from pool tables, flat screens in everything corner, even has musical instruments up on the wall. They have a great selection on tap from 805 to lagunitas and there bartender, Oscar, chill dude, can mix you up amazing drin The owner will even come and talk to you even if it's just to say hello. read more

If you're unfamiliar with the area and looking for a bar, then I recommend coming here. The bartenders were friendly and polite, and the customers inside were all having a great time. There was even a camera facing the small parking lot in the back, so I could keep an eye on my car. read more

So many great things to say about this place!! Been coming for about two years now and it's a great place to be no matter what day/time you come. Depending on what you're into I'd recommend: Monday-Wednesday/Sunday (anytime) for something more laid back, where you could grab a couple drinks and banter w/ the owner, Albert. Thursday-Saturday for more lively ambiance, Friday's and Saturday's there's a DJ who always plays something for everyone. My favorite thing about this bar is the professionalism and hard work that is completely transparent with each and every one of the bartenders & even the owner himself. Albert (owner/best bartender) is a great guy, you can tell how much pride and joy he takes in his investment. From the cleanliness of the bathrooms to remembering faces & "regular" drinks! It amazes me how on top of everything everyone is even when you can't get a seat. Some of my fave drinks- Michelada: I opt for Pacifico as my beer, but recently they got Golden Road's Mango Cart on tap and I can't wait to try that! The blend of a refreshing beer and Albert's house made michelada mix is the best Maragaritas: I prefer mine on the rocks w/ either Corralejo Reposado or Patron Silver. Both original and strawberry are great! If you like spice, ask for a dash of Tajín for a little kick Malibu/cranberry/pineapple: Used to love it just with pineapple, but adding the cranberry really takes the drink to another level! If you're in the area, please grab a drink here and support your local Corner Bar!! You won't regret it. read more
