The Lincoln House | (Utility Room) - 9/10 Hidden in the back of the Lincoln house the utility room is a quaint get away from downtown covina. The speakeasy is unique and even serves full menu of great food! Aesthetic & Ambiance: 9.5/10 - it was very prohibition themed and the menus being price/luggage tags was very fun. Came on a saturday night at 6:30 reservation and it was very quiet with us being the only table most of the evening. The outside restaurant has live bands which can be a little loud. Service: 100/10 - Markley was the bartender and the only one who operates the speakeasy, she's not only the best bartender Ive had custom drinks from, but she also makes each individual product herself. She explained every part of the drinks and ingredients, and even offered to make any kind of drink we'd want if there was nothing on her menu. Drinks: 10/10 - if you like cocktail bars this is it...EVERY drink was a unique in flavor and handcrafted by Markley from steep to serve. house-infused liquors and tinctures- ONE OF A KIND BAR Food: 8.5/10 - all around great some dishes better than others Bread & Butter - 9/10 great toasted sourdough with a garlic butter and the butter was perfect salty-addition. Calamari - 7/10 a little too breaded for my liking with the rings and tentacles being a little dry. Deviled eggs: 7.5/10 interesting they were fried, but had great flavor all over Mongolian Beef: 8/10 very good flavor, and rice was tasty, but the sauce was a little salty. Cajun chicken pasta: 9.5/10 chicken was tender, pasta was cooked perfectly, sauce was delicious, and the sausage was a great addition. I'd easily drive an hour from LA again to come here! read more

The most unprofessional people are running this place. We made a birthday reservation for 15-20 people over two months in advance and they decide to basically cancel our reservation 4 days before the date due to conflict scheduling which just means that they're obviously letting people/friends take our reservation. Laughable. read more

Chloe at the Lincoln is the best. Amazing service, amazing drinks, super friendly, and is always a friendly face to see. We love you Chloe, you are the very best!!!! read more

I love the Lincoln!! Always such an awesome time here! I love JJ so much, he's incredible and so caring over my friends and I when we come!! We also love Chloe the queen bartender - she's so sweet and makes amazing drinks! Incredible person! Thank you, the Lincoln!!! read more

great spot that slowly turns into a full-on club as the night picks up. Starts off chill, but give it some time and it gets packed... like barely-room-to-walk packed. Energy goes way up with it though. Music is consistently great and the crowd matches it. Mostly a younger, high-energy vibe. If you actually want to enjoy your drinks and maybe chat with the bartenders, show up early. Once it gets going, it's all motion and noise. It's never disappointed us. You kind of know what you're signing up for, and it delivers every time. Ambiance leans classy without feeling vintage. Dim lighting, a touch of rustic, and just enough polish to set the tone without overdoing it. They've got a patio too, which comes in clutch when you need a breather or want to actually hear the person next to you. We usually do street parking and it's not too bad if you're willing to walk a bit. Reservation needed: Not really, unless you've got a big group and want your own section Parking: 6/10 - Street Crowd: 8/10 Vibe: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Music: 9/10 Drinks: 8/10 Price: $$ read more

Good times! For a larger group, consider reserving a table. Staff was friendly and easy to work with on reservations.

The Lincoln had amazing super dim lighting that made it feel cozy, romantic, and welcoming. My drink was an 8: o ordered a lemon drop !! sweet, spicy, fruity, and strong. The couch section they had was amazing, but I wished there were more. Even though it wasn't packed, it felt like there were only certain spots to sit, and we didn't feel comfortable right next to everyone. More seating and couch spaces outside of the bar would have been perfect! overall, the experience was a seven. I definitely will come back again. read more

Came here with my sister we were looking for a somewhere open late night. Food was ok drinks were good. The waiter was attentive. Will go back. read more

The Lincoln is a wonderful lounge where you can get a drink or a few and have some food. I don't think it opens until around 7 pm and is open to about 2 am. The service is great. The staff is nice and kind. Again, we are usually the oldest people there--what can I say, we are old. But it is no bother the crowd is fun to watch. They have live music on some nights and if not that a DJ. Now this place gets loud and you can't avoid it. If you want quiet go elsewhere. They have full bar and if you want it they have it. There can be a line for drinks so be ready for that. The bartender was so nice he gave me a free Coke since I was driving my friends. It is located in Venice. We love it for a woman's night out. read more

I had to hop on here and give a massive shoutout to JJ, the bouncer at The Lincoln. I'm visiting from SF, and honestly, JJ made my experience in LA so much better. It's rare to find someone working the door who is as professional and genuinely kind as he is. From the moment we walked up, he was incredibly respectful and welcoming, which set such a great vibe for the whole night. You can tell he's just a high-quality character--he manages the crowd with ease and treats everyone with dignity. It was a huge bonus to run into such a professional while exploring the city. If you're heading to The Lincoln, look out for JJ. He's the best in the business! read more

The Lincoln - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

. They offer two kinds of non-alcoholic wine!! Woho! If you are sober or alcohol-free like me, you know how hard it is to find a bar that serves non-alcoholic wine. This bar popped up in my search a year ago while I was looking for bars in the Santa Monica area. This week, a friend and I were having dinner at a Santa Monica place and wanted to go out afterward. It was a Wednesday night, so we knew it was going to be chill. The place is beautiful, with indoor and outdoor areas. They have a long bar to sit by, couches, and some tables inside. The bartenders are nice and attentive. I really like that they offer alcohol-free wine. Will come Again! Easy, free street parking. Nice security guard at the front! read more

This place was a vibe forsure! The music was great and definitely kept people dancing. It was a Saturday so it got extremely packed. Not a bad thing just depends how you feel about it. Parking was a bit difficult to find , you'd be lucky if you found any in front of the building . Best part about it was the free hotdogs lol! I don't think theres a set time when they do it they just kinda have em whenever possible :) Thanks to the barback for letting us know about the hotdogs read more

Came here for an event. Great vibes even for a weekday night. Our group was large so we made the spot busy. To drink, I had the cucumber/mint based drink (The Best Side)--tasty and refreshing. I liked the ambiance a lot. It's in an unassuming area, at least seemingly so. I'd come back read more

This is a magical place and it is a wonderful gem. I usually park in the residential area across the street and have no problem getting access to the establishment. The décor is very unique and fashionable with splashes of a rustic environment. The last time we came here, it was a large group and we were able to have some nice tacos with solid drinks. The water station is super helpful and the disco ball with the dope lights throughout the place made it all a vibe. There is plenty of room to sit, chat, stand, dance, and have a relaxing and lively evening altogether. The service is so nice and the staff is very quick with cleaning up tables. The restroom was clean and the DJ played amazing music all night long. Toward the end of the night after we ate dinner, we noticed that the dance floor was never empty. The songs he played spoke to at least one group out of our entire squad! What an amazing experience! read more

The Lincoln - Patio - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had no clue this bar even existed-I must have driven by it a thousand times without knowing. I'm glad I finally figured it out! We went on a week night expecting it to be dead but it wasn't. A fun DJ was playing inside the big open room and then different music on the covered patio-type area. Both areas were fun (I preferred the patio area bc it was a little stinky in the main room). A diverse crowd-differing age groups and different types which made it super fun and refreshing for LA. Didn't seem too much of a "Scene"-a lot of friend groups just drinking and hanging out. read more

To start off, this bar was a last minute plan that absolutely became the best choice of the night. As soon as I entered the place it smelled so good & they had heaters, which was amazing because it was a really cold night. Their patio is enclosed as well, & it's so aesthetic, with the disco ball & the vines. The bartender was also amazing, getting the drinks out fast, nice & efficient for the party of 20 I was in. Unfortunately they don't have any food , but they let you bring your own food which was still pretty good cause we ended up ordering pizzas & we were satisfied. Overall, this place has a really nice vibe. Would definitely come back ! read more

This is a very nice bar with live music on some evenings. I came here for a Mezcal tasting event. We also had cocktails from the menu. The cocktails are well prepared. The ambiance is nice.

3.5/5 stars, but I'll round up to a 4. Good drinks and great ambiance! The DJ was ... interesting to say the least haha We arrived around 8PM with a group of 5. This was the PERFECT timing because it was still pretty dead and we were able to snag a table. If we came later, it'd be pretty hard to get a seat. Drinks were solid. Ended up trying the Cereal Killer and Daddy Don't Make Dinner. They also have a water station at both ends of the bar. We had a nice evening and was excited for the DJ to start. The bartender told us that the DJ starts at 9:30PM. The DJ ended up starting a little bit later, maybe more towards 9:45PM. By that time, it was starting to get pretty packed. The DJ played some Top 40 and had some interesting mixes/transitions. We were vibing with some of the choices, but not with other choices. We were getting ready to head out to get some ice cream. The last mix we heard was Tequila by the Champs mixed with Single Ladies by Beyonce. It was ... odd lol We left during that song. As we were leaving, the DJ transitioned to Lauryn Hill which was a great choice. But it was too late! We had already left haha Outside, there was quite a long line forming. Best move is definitely to come around 8PM and stay for the DJ if you vibe with the music choices. read more

I was at the Lincoln last night hosting a private event from 7-10 p.m. it was my first time there and absolutely lovely! The staff is super accommodating and helpful and help so much in coordinating the event. The venue itself is beautiful, has a great ambiance with romantic lighting, garden whimsical vibes. Security that helped throughout the event was welcoming and kind while keeping us all safe, especially since it was a private event I was there hosting. The crowd was also great along with the DJ, tarot card reader as well as the mixologists behind the bar! The place is clean, calming and everyone was super welcoming and friendly. Almost every guest I checked in at the front made me laugh and it was just all around just great vibes all night long. Def no better place to spend your Thursday! Thanks for helping and supporting me throughout the event to make sure everything went smoothly throughout the night. Can't wait to be back! read more

The ambience of the bar was great. It was dark but not too dark. Patio was well ventilated and inside the DJ had music going. Drinks were decent not soo watered down. They were actually flavorful. We sat at the bar so the service was great. But if you come on a busy night like Friday night or Saturday night be prepared to wait a while. The scene gets good but it gets packed quickly. I tried a couple of the cocktails but ultimately I'm more of a "Old fashioned" kind of guy. I'd come back here again. read more

JJ is the best. He's so inviting and welcoming and knows how to handle a crowd. Super respectful!!

I came here for New Year's Eve, and was super satisfied with the venue space. That night they had an amazing dj playing a variety of different hits, the vibes were immaculate. Not to mention their drinks were delicious, thought I do wish that their cocktail section had more options, I have happy with the gin cocktail I ordered. read more

My new favorite Wednesday spot! Chill bar with a great vibe and once the DJ starts the vibe gets even better. If you want a more quiet spot there is an enclosed cute outdoor-ish area where you can chat and mingle comfortably. The drinks are good and priced at the going rate for LA. I don't like overly sweet drinks, and will usually ask about the sweetness before making my decision. The drinks I had were smooth and more on the tart side (which I like), but don't worry they are not sour or tart like a sour candy or sucking on a lemon. Overall, great experience on a Wednesday night. read more

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a men's character, give him powers." That being said Welcome to The Lincoln and without further delay let's begin this bar review. The Lincoln is a casual dive lounge bar in Venice. They're located along the ever busy Lincoln boulevard. From the outside it looks banal covered with white roof metal sheets and could easily missed as a bar. It's indoor was spacious and very dim lit. They have lounge couches, wine bar tables and a full bar. Furthermore, they have live DJ music on most nights and tonight was one of those nights. They have an extensive selection of wine, tequila, hard liquors, cocktails and beers. I opted to get Alpine Pale Ale. Prices were reasonable. This bar plays good lively lounge music which makes an upbeat atmosphere; loud enough to have a conversation with other bar patrons. Plenty of street parking around the neighborhood. Overall, it's a good chill bar to unwind and get together with friends or a date. I recommend this bar. read more

Love the vibes in here because you can come here for different vibes! If you're here to really have a great time, let loose, they have a dance floor and a good DJ. Love that it's cozy but there's still a good amount of space to dance. They have bar seating areas and also couches where it's for a more initiate feel. If you're looking for a place to relax and chat with your friends or your date, then you can also sit in the outdoor area. They have a good wines and I love that when I was there, it didn't get messy but people were definitely having a great time!! read more
