    The only place on the westside, still. Alternative to Weho, Silverlake, Long Beach. Featuring mix of all three plus surf dads, punks and hipsters. Always semi-friendly locals, cross-towners, tourists.

    Nice place, but after renovations, it no longer seems like a gay bar. Fancy and straight.

    Liked it. Happy hour daily until 7 pm but not very gay. There were more women than men, which I don’t have a problem with, but wouldn’t say is a gay bar

    It's a locals only watering hole; All others will be ignored. Typically no more than ten people present at a time -very laid back bar. Cash only.

    The environment is very chill and not too busy. Can be a bit too dark for my taste. Depends what you are in mood for.

    This place is for West-Side residents ONLY or for a quick smoke and drink on the patio after catching some waves... #venicebeach #california #America

    Bartender took his time before serving. No good attitude from him. Other comments about this bartender are absolutely true. LA has other great places to visit. Only visit this bar if no other options.

    This is absolutely NOT a gay bar. Lots, lots and lots of straight people. With a few more, doing the usual…

    The bartender Guitano is a fun time - but stay away from the blue shots he makes... deadly.

    The owner has a terrible attitude....he is bartending and took over 15 mins to order a drink. But all the guys got served first.

    It certainly wasn't a gay bar when I was there. More woman than men, and the men weren't looking at each other....
