The Cove Cocktail Bar

Let's just start with D not A but D because she's the most accommodating bartender you could ask for. Very intuitive and pleasant. I think if you rub her the wrong way though she would show you who's boss but fortunately I passed her test. She made me a tasty French 75 and I commented that it wasn't purple. With a flick of her magic wand she brewed a magic concoction. It's not often when I walk into a bar and feel like I can ask said bartender what I want and they say, "I know you were going to ask for that"Promote this woman to manager! She's amazing. Coming back next time she's working !

Passed by a billion times and never knew there was a dive bar until last night. I bar hopped in and was truly convinced I would try their whiskey flights. I heard great tales about this joint so I walked in as a very curious woman about all the different whiskey options but ended up being completely mesmerized by their cocktail menu. Every single drink was so nicely named. For someone like me who stopped drinking mixed drinks for over a year, I found myself wanting to order every single drink on the list. The staff were pretty chill. Bartenders were nice. The bar is pretty small but the in my opinion, it's a perfect size bar. Price is very reasonable - under $90 / for 5 1 ounce Whiskeys + 1 cocktail. 8/10 - Highly recommend!

Our go to! This bar gives a cozy but modern vibe. Prices are super decent for this area and the drinks are stiff.There is a pool table and you can order food from the nearby restaurants. There is also a jukebox box that plays all the jams. Only con: for the ladies one restroom stall, so there is usually a small line out the door

Very meh spot to be completely fair. Looks like a bar that used to be divey and they tried to revamp it. I love a good dive but the prices did not match the atmosphere and the service was kind of terrible. We waited a while for our drinks and the place wasn't even that busy. When my friend ordered his drink, the bartender was rude and told him he should've ordered earlier because he was busy now ??? Isn't that your job lol. I ordered some water and never received it either. Honestly, wouldn't come back! The bourbon was good however, so I'm giving a star for that.

From what I been told, this is the area's oldest neighborhood bar. As such, it feels a little divey and I really mean that in the best way possible. And what I mean is that the vibe is very chill and everybody seems to be having a great time. It's not super loud or pretentious. It seriously zoomed to the top three places for me to drink in the Los Angeles area. A big reason for that is their fantastic selection. And I mean fantastic. I was like a kid in a candy store. And for a lot of the whiskeys I wanted try and/ or my usuals. the prices are very, very reasonable. The place is not huge with some main room seating, some seating at the bar, and some pool tables towards the back. But I could seriously spend a very long time at the bar alone. It's in a retail shopping area so there's plenty of parking. But if you must drink a lot, I would suggest you getting a ridesharing service.

SERVICE: good spot good service - nice neighborhood bar and I'll definitely be back Nice ambiance

Small hole in the wall place. However great music. Great service and some of the best drinks I've had.

I LOVE The Cove. I came here when it was truly a dive bar. Since then, it was a whisky bar and finally to the gem that it is today. West Covina's first real cocktail bar, and I couldn't be happier. The inside still gives neighborhood bar but has a slightly more elegant appeal.Their bartenders are top notch, everything from classic cocktails to their own creations and twists on fan favorites.They really have something for everyone. The pool table is always on point and their touch tunes jukebox allows you to select the perfect music for whatever way you're feeling. My only concern here is that every so often you still get that select group of characters that a normal dive bar would attract, but it is what it is. For the most part, this place is great and enjoyable. It is definitely my choice of an after work cocktail

Love the service and the drinks were on point! The vibes is great. Absolutely will come back

Dee and Maria are the most attentive bar tenders I've encountered. Exceptional service. Super high energy. They also offered me an Orange so if you need snacks come here. Thank you.
