Pretty much the place to people watch and drink cheap beer. Get there early though, seats run out fast. I personally like the booths near the back. That way I'm close to the photo booth!

Really like this bar. Nice, eclectic atmosphere that is also kind of a dive bar at the same time. I love the vintage photo booth they have in the back. Spicy margarita was great!

Interesting (and packed) crowd/vibe on the weekends. Hipsters shoulder-to-shoulder against cholos and their girls on club hip-hop nights--fun people-watching. Grab tacos from Gus' on your way out.

Go during weeknight or start @ 5pm. cheap, fun and flexible. named best bar in SL by LAWeekly. Tiki decor. Photobooth. Foosball. A taco truck outside. Margaritas; Bloody Mary.

Love the vibe here! Gets packed quick though so show up early if you want a place to seat down.
Red FraggleJune 24, 2014
Odd mix of people. Grab a drink at the bar and sit along the wall or one of the booths so you can people watch.

grab some food at the TACO TRUCK outside and you can bring it inside the bar to chow down on! Awesome place to hang w/ friends, booze and food.

the Cha Cha is a raucous, good-spirited dive bar, one of the city's best. A Capitol Hill without the Cha Cha to anchor it is unthinkable, and thanks to the bar's big new subterranean location -- in th

If you're nice to the staff, you'll have the time of your life. Weekends are packed; come during the week.

Great music, cheap drinks, photo booth, foosball, a vending machine with an eclectic mix of goodies, and weird beach theme: need I say more. - Whitney

Weird, but enjoyable decor and vibe inside, music at night not for the faint of heart

With its Dia de los Muertos décor, this spot brings a very eclectic combination of culture and art. True Silverlake style.

Love the mini sombreros they have in the vending the machine! Too bad they don't sell lemons... the bar ran out!

Crowed on Saturday's, crazy & cool peeps here. I have to say no pool table but the music is rap and hip hop

Crushed-velvet paintings, Spanish-Tiki art kitsch, photobooth, cheap PBR and enough skinny and bearded flannel bodies to fill, well.. this place. Expect a groan-filled line Thur-Sun nights.
AlanaFebruary 23, 2012
Always buy the $6 sombrero from the vending machine next to the photobooth. Don't buy the gum or cigarettes from the machine, they're always stale. Plus $8 for American Spirits? No way, Jose!

a silver lake local: cheap drinks, foosball, a photo booth, a vending machine full of randoms
Reagan FreyerSeptember 23, 2012
Watch out for the parking lot next door. Looks easy but tow trucks will come and clear the place out.
Paul MasataniApril 30, 2016
cheap well drinks and an actual working old school photo booth

Interesting place. Very mellow with a mix crowd. $2.50 PBR so can't complain. Music is cool too.

Photomaton is tons of fun, especially after 3 margaritas

Hit up the taco truck outside for a greasy 2 a.m. snack to soak up all that booze you've been drinking the whole night!
Blake DavisFebruary 3, 2015
Not bad for a hipster joint. Cheap beer which is good.
Dave HuckleApril 24, 2010
Check the vending machine for fun things from A-Team Collectable Cards to Pregnancy Tests and make sure you go take some photos in the photo booth. Cheap PBR drafts! Read more

Can be loud but still one of the best bars around.

Simple math: two 5's are still a 10. Best you can do here

I second that the margaritas are nasty... I got one and I NEVER send a drink back, but had to with this one. It was easily the worst I've ever had. But everything else is stiff and tasty. =)
Rachel BurkeJanuary 20, 2012
Really really good bloody mary. And a photo booth.

Run into everyone you know then take a round in the photobooth for a reminder of how much fun you had.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are free foosball nights! Come play - lots of recurring characters.

This place is a commonplace for Silver Lake hipsters. Best thing about it is $2 beer [if you don't mind Pabst], and the photobooth. Read more
