I've always heard that Trunks was a sketchy place but never tried it out until recently. I wouldn't rave about this place but I do like it. It's not a bad bar to hang out with a friend and talk whilst having a drink or 4....the music does get a little loud sometimes but it's like that at all the WeHo bars. Baileys on the rocks is 7 dollars vs. the 9 you will pay at the crAbbey. The mens bathroom is a little small so plan ahead so you don't get caught in a line doing the pee pee dance. They have 2 pool tables in back to show off your cue stick skills. P.S. Yes this is a homo hangout....if gay, lesbian, drag queens and/or trannys make you feel the fear then this is not the place for you. read more

Whenever we make our way to West Hollywood, my friends are always adamant about coming here. I always have a great time here, the drinks are cheap, and the vibe is good. However, the bartender can either make or break your experience. Our bartender, Amit (we made sure we got his name before we left) was just plain rude, stuck-up, pompous, & lacked a personable attitude. If you wanted to see a real life douchebag, his name is Amit. When we arrived, our party hung out near the bar area. Amit told our group to move so that other people could easily order drinks. The bar wasn't crowded at 8:30 pm and if he didn't want us to hang out in his section of the bar... then don't put bar stools in that area! Secondly, he was always on his cell phone (probably because the bar wasn't busy). So trying to get his attention for drinks was difficult. However, when he finally saw that you needed help... Amit continued to finish his text before helping the patrons. Depending on who you are and what you look like, Amit would decide on how much alcohol or lack of alcohol he'd pour in your drink and whether you were served first or last. This didn't happen with my party, but two brown people were patiently waiting to get served and when Amit saw his white friends walk in, he skipped over these two people and immediately hugged and served his friends drinks before them. Annoyed and upset, these two men walked out of the bar. Lastly, we had a few people who were our designated drivers of the night. So when we would ask for water, Amit had that face of disgust and annoyance. You can easily see it on his face and when he realized it, he switched over to the fakest smile I've ever seen. We were so annoyed we went to another bar after only 45 mins being in Trunk. Amit probably won't get fired or even reprimanded, but my party and I had such a terrible experience at Trunks (for the first time) I actually had to write about it. The rest of the night before and after Trunks was epic, but if we could erase one memory from last night... it would be that time I went to Trunks and had a bartender named Amit. read more

It's 9-ish on a Friday night and I call my gay husband. Me: Sugar-pie, do you want to have a drink with me and the BF/BD (boyfriend/baby-daddy)? GH: I just woke up from my cat nap honey-cakes and I sure could use a couple laps from my favorite vodka tonic stream So we made the trip from NoHo to WeHo and the three of us end up at Trunks. The drinks were pretty strong (I am told), I drank wine, and cheap. I've never seen a vodka tonic served in a stein before - I thought that was quite novel. The place was nice and not too crowded. Bartenders were very friendly and so was the crowd. There were a couple of pool tables and a D.J. playing some cool tunes to enhance the mood just right, not too loud. I was very pleased with the clean bathrooms as well - always a plus! All in all we had a fun time and it was a very nice diversion from our usual watering holes. read more

Are you a fan of ordering a round of drinks for, let's say... 4 people? Are you a fan of having that total up to be $19? Then this is the place for you! A tiny dive bar that packs a big punch when it comes to drinks and their prices. You don't come here to dance or show off your latest designer jeans but if you are looking for a super cheap alternative to drinks, then you have arrived! We found ourselves coming here twice after we partied at The Abbey just so we can keep chasing our buzz with their ridiculously priced drinks. I love you, Trunks! read more

This place is ALWAYS crowded girls and gays alike! Haha. I must say its an awesome spot simply because the drinks are super cheap and super strong. Lol if the bartenders know you (which i usually stick to one) they make the drinks super strong...Although all of them make them really strong regardless. The ONE thing i love about gay spots is that they're not stingy with their alcohol and they don't overcharge. You could pay $6 for svedka and redbull or $5 for cranberry vodka and they make them really strong. I would strongly recommend you visit. read more

Oh Trunks! I struggled with rating you because I LOVE sudo-divy bars with pool tables, stiff drinks, always a place to sit, and bartenders that actually talk to people and know their customers like in the old days. I almost gave you three stars for your patrons - it's a toss up. We've met many a good people in my few months frequenting Trunks. But I've also encountered sex in the women's single bathroom (ugh!) and men that are a little too touchy feely where as I never thought my boys would have to defend my honor in a gay bar!! Maybe a security guard would be nice as over the months your popularity has increased and I'm sure you could afford it!! But you got four - because for the most part everyone is out to have a good time, is unpretentious, is a mixed crowd (age, race, gender, orientation) - it's like being at UN, and the music is just fun. One night, it's quiet and you can play pool, the next night, there is a b-day party, the place is packed and folks are laying on the bar taking body shots. I could look fabulous, I could come in my sweat pants and nobody gives a damn. So keep hanging Trunks and get a bouncer for the grab asses! read more

I come here with my childhood best friend maybe 1 or twice a month, he's there almost every weekend, lol but best service in weho! You can get wasted for maybe less than 20$. No doubt that we always have fun. Everyone there is very friendly. Drinks are not expensive. Bathroom is always clean. Mike, my favorite bartender thus far!!!! read more

Best laid back bar in weho...people are friendly n down to earth. Drinks are strong n cheap. Then u move on to the dance clubs ...then u come back to round off the night... great place .. read more

Trunks - Gay Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

It's a small gay bar, I came here just for the pool tables. 75 cents for one game, cheaper than most tables. The drinks here are good, price is fine, music is great. The bathroom is a little dirty though, hope they can do something about it. As my first gay bar trip, it's such a fun experience to be here. read more

We got what we were looking for here - a dive gay bar. Fun pop music from the 90s. Older crowd that was definitely cruisey. Strong drinks. Excellent people-watching from the open front window looking out on Santa Monica Blvd. It was quiet enough on a Wednesday night for an old friend and I to come here to catch up over a few drinks. We couldn't quite figure out what the deal was with the condom bucket by the door. It was empty. Is it supposed to hold used or unused condoms? We hadn't noticed it on our way in, but left feeling a little dirty after we saw it. read more

Trunks was packed last Friday night. They were doing some sort of giveaway and we walked into a raffle. Half naked gay men were everywhere trying to get drinks from the tiny bar, playing board games and causing general mayhem. At first, I thought it was a lot bigger but realized it's because there were mirrors everywhere. We left fairly quickly because it wasn't worth trying to battle to get a drink. Plus, while I realize gay men like to feel me up but here, they have no choice because you're just packed in like sardines. I cannot wait for Mickey's to reopen. Another three more months! Sigh. read more

Great place for an afternoon drink. $3 beers! Also a great place to hang out at night if you just want to avoid most of the weho crowd at all of the other and more chaotic bars. read more

The perfect place to come for cheap drinks and start out your night! $5 well drinks all day every day--despite the low price, the drinks are even bigger and stronger than other pricier bars on the block. Atmosphere is divey with pool tables and not too much space. It gets very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights. Crowd is pretty mixed age which is cool. read more

Such a great place to go have a drink with ya friends or even if you are going solo. Fair prices and kind bartenders. I would definitely recommend this place to visitors. Start your night here like a few reviews said. read more

Two words: CHEAP DRINKS!!!! This place is so deceiving, it looks so small on the outside but it's way bigger on the inside. They have pool tables, TVs, plenty of seating and good music. It's mainly for the male crowd but I still had a blast. This will be one of the places I go to get my drink on then I'll make it to the other more expensive bars and clubs around West Hollywood. The bartenders are nice and even good to look at. I like this place because it is one of the more dive-y and less pretentious places to be. There is one thing I don't like and it's the fact that you're not allowed to take drinks outside on their very small patio area. read more

Where else can you play pool, get strong drinks for cheap, and avoid big crowds? TRUNKS, duh! It's on of only a few dives in WeHo. Really though, this is an oldy. I love this place. We usually drop in for drinks here first then head over to an overpriced club. I suggest trying this next time :) read more

Friendliest bartenders. Trevor and the two Alex's .Friendly patrons. And very good drink prices.

Nice spot to go to my new hangout spot when I feel like it great people adults drinks not kid drinks water down hint hint great place to go I'll be there this weekend read more

Trunks - Gay Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Best and hottest bartenders in west Hollywood. Top quality drinks for a very low price. And no attitude.

Great place to get strong drinks for a very low price. Friendly bartenders. Now they even have a dancer on Thursdays. Good place to meet and greed people. read more

This is my Favorite Bar, been coming here for 10+ years and can't say enough about how great a place it is, drinks are cheap, staff are nice a bit catty at times, but I enjoy it, keeps things light, don't be so serious in life. I love playing pool and this is the best pool bar in WeHo, great competition most nights and fun times. read more

Another go to gay joint post Abbey, or if I'm not feeling the Abbey. This place was also introduced to me by my gay coworker (yup, my WeHo guide, lol!) Cheap affordable drinks, and love that the bartenders are topless over there, Or at least the times I've been there, heheh..It's a small divy joint, very cozy when you wanna chill there I always get a sex on the beach, and love that the bartender always drops extra cherries into mines. I never knew his name, but he always greets me with a wink and smile *blushes* My friends and I like getting the corner booth near the door. Plus, there's always a little hispanic older woman that comes by there with her basket of roses, and my gay friend always gets me one, which was sweet :) Last time I was there, a cute gay Filipino guy and his white boyfriend came up to me and said "OMG, you're so pretty! I wanna have babies with you!" Hehehe, I love the compliment, but was pretty sure he was buzzed, but he wasn't, and it was a true compliment. That made my night *swoons!* Also, I remember outing a guy there who goes to my gym, and since then, whenever he goes to guy, the punk avoids me, rude, but whatever, heheh.. read more

Great Great drinks their drinks are well done, not overfilled with juice or soda, lots of alcohol and a splash of juice.. plus they serve their drinks in real glasses, yes made of glass, and they take credit cards ...so odd for clubs in LA--- where my experience in others is cash only. The place is older and same with the crowd, but woth this delicious drinks and no lines for the bathroom who wouldnt wanna go here before dancing Tha place is small, but always has space, some tables and tvs in the bar area, the decor has some cool chandeliers. Where else in west hollywood can you get a drink in a glass? and pay $4 for a cranberry vodka, $5 for a Tequila Sunrise, or $6 for a Mai Tai ...and yes you can pay with a credit card :) I definitely go there if going to west hollywood. read more

I love this place!! I went to college in Iowa and this place reminds me of the perfect dive/ down home bar. The drinks are always pour fairly, you get a decent amount of alcohol for the price. Honestly aside from the friendly atmosphere that the main reason I love it. Everywhere else in WeHo doesn't even compare with regard to alcohol prices. They have a small patio for smoking, which is great as you can't in many other bars in WeHo. The bathrooms rarely have a line (especially for females). They also have a large area with pool tables and the people who play are really friendly. I usually go on the weekends and it gets kind of crowded as the night goes on, but if you go early it is alot better. I have been during the week once or twice and the crowd was significantly less. I want to point out though, that even though it is crowded on the weekends, I have never gone there and had a bad time. Crowd is very mixed, I don't think you could categorize it as one specific type of people that go there. read more

My favorite bar in WeHo. Great service, I want to single out bartender Trevor, who's really making a difference there. He's such a hunky gentlemen making the beer taste better! read more

Trunks - Gay Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Wow. The only divey geezer gay bar I managed to hit in all my time in Weho. We were the youngest people in there by about 30 years. BUT, who cares? Decor was meh, but the bartender was friendly and drinks were super cheap. Sold. Just not the place to go if you wanna make any new friends. read more

My favorite bar to start off the night in West Hollywood. No other bar can beat their prices! It is a huge glass full of alcohol for just $5! And for anyone who is light weight like me, you will get drunk with just those $5. And if you're a heavy weight, you'll be set for the night with $10. Although its mostly an older crowd, its so much fun to go here and get drunk with friends for an hour then go out and dance the rest of the night! read more

Trunks - This is the size of one shot! - Gay Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Trunks - Stella Artois - Gay Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

My phone died and for only 1.99 I was able to charge my phone while I had a delicious drink. Thank you for having those! Please come here if you're in weho, drinks are delicious btw! read more

Trunks is the go-to spot of one of my friends. I've only been here a few times, all of which have been positive experiences. Their drinks are pretty strong and they deceivingly have plenty of space inside the bar, as it goes pretty far back. Some people absolutely love the fact that there is a front patio where they can smoke. Unfortunately, if there's any draft at all, then the smell of cigarette smoke completely permeates the bar, which leads to allergies and itchy eyes. read more

I came here for WeHo's Halloween Parade and this place was a party! Naturally there was a long line to get in but the wait was well worth it. They have pool tables and people are dancing everywhere. The drinks were pretty strong and my favorite were the rum and cokes. The bartenders are very friendly! Other than Trunks, I love going to Fiesta! If you don't want the club experience like Rage, this is an awesome place to go. read more

This is my favorite bar in WeHo! There are two awkward pool tables in the middle of the bar that can get in the way when it's crowded. There's also a breathalyzer test that you can take in the back and a vending machine that I never seen anyone use. The bathrooms are clean and it's not awkward like the one in Cantina. Most importantly... the drinks are cheap! They cost about $8 -$10 and they are pretty strong compared to all the other drinks in West Hollywood. The crowd tends to be older, less cruise-y, but the people seem to be a bit more genuine here. They play pretty poppy music but no one really dances. Random and rare occasions they have promotions and pass out free alcohol! I would definitely recommend this place if you're out with your friends and you just want a cheap strong drink and chat with them. read more

Trunks is the cat's meow. Meowwww. The drinks are cheap, the bartender is nice (and super buff), the music is hit or miss, and the ambience is much more chill than other wild and crazy bars in the surrounding area on Santa Monica Blvd. All in all a good place for a beer, but don't expect any fine wines here. Meowwwww. read more

I just recently moved to weho and I looove trunks! It's super fun and casual with the best music. The staff is so nice, especially Corey and Kaimi!! I literally will comeback bc of Corey alone. I lost my phone, he helped me find it, he is super friendly and makes awesome drinks, and he has a great uplifting attitude- although I'm sure there is a lot he deals with in this bar scene! Definitely helps the give trunks a great atmosphere. Way to go trunks for having the best bartenders! read more

Okay - Trunks first of all should always be your pre-game party place because of its small cute size environment and sociable setting. The best part of it this place is their cheap drinks than the other clubs around the area. It's not a huge bargain but its a few couple dollars off. If you want to drink a lot then it becomes a pretty hefty price at the other clubs and this could be your invisible coupon for some percentage off your drink tab when you buy your drinks at Trunks. I have always found the setting to be particularly interesting - their is a toy train above the middle room where they have a few pool tables and their are mirrors on the ceiling to get a fast glance of maybe that hottie you don't want to get caught looking at (if your one of those people). They even have in the back an alcohol level tester and a vending machine for snacks. RIGHT? I got the munchies drunk one night and totally took advantage. Don't expect it to be glamorous or anything close to that because this bar almost feels like a cabin kind of hole in the wall type of place, but that doesn't mean its not awesome unless your ass needs to be seen in an upscale place, if so, then go somewhere else. I like it, always have, it is small but they somehow always play the good tracks I wish the other clubs would play. I find myself dancing in there a little - so its almost like a warm-up for the start of a good night. It would be awesome if they added a small dance floor somewhere even though there is no room, but hey its just a bar with good music and the boys are either a hit or a miss, depending on your type. There is all ages here from old guys to young so dive into it, if it seems like your type of place to hang before. Oh, the staff is nice also - there is one guy whose a bartender and hes pretty yummy looking. Anyways, have fun if you go! read more

Sweet bar! Overall cool staff. Super cool bouncers, bartenders and great drinks. This bar has become really popular lately and it's not hard to understand why. read more

Amazing service!!!! Friendly bartenders and security! Never been to Trunks and my first time was so awesome I loved it! Everybody is so friendly and they play good music! Glad to spend my day here :) read more

Been coming here for a while and noticed it's full of drama. The gay queens come here to bother people and be messy. You go to have a good time and all they do is mean mug and throw shade 24/7. The music is great but it's getting ghetto. They are rude as hell too. Security is cool they don't bother people . But the crowd .. awful . read more

This was basically the typical dive bar but for gay men. The feel is much more casual and it's a getaway from the rest of the glamorous West Hollywood scene. I ordered a mixed drink and I just remember that it was harsh on the throat and it tasted like gasoline mixed with sugar and juice. Gross. They also do not card to get in the bar nor do they when purchasing a drink. If only I knew this when I was underage... read more

Cool place to stop by. They have cheap strong drinks, 2 pool tables, inside and outside seating, bar seating as well , a couple tv's and music. Friendly bartenders. read more
