Before deciding to leave this review, I scrolled through to see if others had any similar feelings/experiences to what happened to a loved one. Many shared uncomfortable stories, while others attempted to normalize that it's part of "punk/music culture". What recently happened to a loved one, was beyond horrific so, I felt it was important to share in order to spread awareness. We live in a society where drug & violence have become so normalize that people are unfazed by participating in these activies even if it means putting someone's life in danger. As we all know, Los Angeles has had a high rate of fentanyl OD cases-to which brings me to point out how bar environments are the accesable place for predators to spike drinks. That is right. A person close to me was roofied this past weekend; while the bar is not to blame for, I'd like to point out that as of July of this year, California passed, making it a requirement and, I quote Calmatters.org "If they don't post the signs -- or if they don't have kits available for patrons to test their drinks to determine if they've been drugged -- the proprietors run the risk of state fines or having their liquor licenses suspended"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/california-drink-spikinglaw-bars/In all to say, always trust your gut, report to the nearest security, and never leave your drink unattended!unfortunately, I can already see people coming at me upset for simply spreading awareness or telling me to never return (which I've never been and never will) but all I can do is hope is that is message gets taken with grace.

Staff has always been great to deal with. Characters offers pool tables and also has bands that play on certain dates. I've always stopped by for karaoke night. I've always ordered beer since I'm definitely a beer drinker. Crowd varies on certain dates, sometimes it's packed, other times it's almost empty. Either way, grab a few friends and roll thru for a quick drink and a free game of pool.

Noemi was rude and master manipulated we asked for two drinks and she told us PER POOL GAME ONW DRINK MINIMUM....like okay stupid we have been here plenty of times for shows ! We looked liked squares tonight and she took full advantage tonight of us ! Just because we didn't fit her SCENE ! When we told her that we were buying two drinks she told us that we couldn't and that it's one drink per pool table?? Like what and she toldUs buy pitches or drinks ? Individually? No we have a tab and wanted to pay and we paid for the pool table when we called to speak to a manager SHE PRETENDED TO BE THE MANAGER And put a gentleman named Raul on the phone who apologized but we knew was not the manager of the bar ! WE'VE BEEN HERE ! None the less the service sucked and was coniaivibg she was high of of coke or crack and couldn't control her jaw for the life of her she lowered the integrity of the bar for a fucken tip we are good tippers and she lost out on a good tip to her VICE!!!!

Came here because a show that was originally supposed to be at the Glass House was moved here. I thought I was late because I got here around 9:30, which typically at the Glass House the main headliner would be going on, but no, they were on opening band number one. Did I make it to the headliner? No, because I learned the hard way that the headliner goes on REALLY late, like beyond my bed time. I did see two really good opening bands and was satisfied with that. The stage was inside the bar instead of on the outside patio which meant it was crowded inside, but it made for a great atmosphere since it was a punk show. Outside on the patio was a hotdog lady and a bunch of random vendors selling their own creations. They have two bathroom stalls for the ladies inside in a cramped space but it's fine. Parking is right out front in the lot and cost is $2 for 24 hours. I liked the space, it's definitely a dive bar for the tough crowd, but the staff and security are all really nice and fun!

ZERO STARS!!! I came here last year and felt unsafe. There were unruly drunk people being belligerent, but I came to support my boyfriend's band. The bartender at that time was so rude to my friend's girlfriend. The bathroom was small, dirty with blood and shit on the floor. I didn't return for a full year. When my boyfriend told me he was coming back here today, I wasn't excited about the location but I came out to support him again. I had COVID recently and I'm now past the isolation period, but I decided to wear my mask at the bar. I bought a beer to support the bar but didn't drink it because I wanted to keep my mask on. My immunocompromised friend was also keeping his mask on. The first bartender we had was named Ashley and she was very sweet to us. Enter the bar back. Ugly rude guy with long greasy hair. He demanded to know why we were keeping our masks on. When I told him I had COVID recently but passed the isolation period, all he heard was "COVID". He flipped out, cursing at us. Mind you, I'm not a confrontational person. I was just sitting there being cursed at by this man because he was uncomfortable that my friend and I wanted to keep our masks on and I was sick 2 weeks ago. He wouldn't listen to a word we said and told us, "get the fuck out of my bar " You would think he would encourage people to keep their masks on but I guess he's an anti-masker. This place is trash. Rude employees get uncomfortable with people wearing masks! Dirty bathrooms, sketchy place. They don't even respect their performers, much less their customers. AVOID!!

One of the shadiest spots to play as a local musician... management will book a show a month in advance, and cancel the week of out of favoritism towards another band. This has happened multiple times with multiple bands. The manager Mario was confronted about the matter and became angry that I was questioning his decisions. After repeatedly asking for a legitimate reason and him dodging the question, the truth surfaced through another source. Do yourself and your band a favor and do not play here...

we always drink here and have a good time. we always stay until 2am (closing time) but for some reason this time when 2am rolled around, the bartenders / security started forcing us out saying get the fuck out already. obviously that type of talk isn't the type we would respond to, but this time they forced their issues onto us. after we already were outside the bar, the "security" at the front door started calling one of my friends a faggot and followed him to his car and started to fight him. we all started yelling to get off him and some of us started to record the altercation. my little brother was one of the ones recording, and all of the bar "security" started to fight anyone recording. saying things like "that's all this pussy generation does is record things". the 30-40 year old security came and sucker punched my 21 year old brother just for recording what they were doing. he was knocked out and hit his head on the asphalt. my friends girlfriend was also sucker punched for recording. obviously they were in the wrong if they needed to fight everyone who was recording. my little brother had to go to the hospital for a broken finger and a concussion from when he hit the floor. anyways, this bar is filled with nothing but cowards who depend on group force and can't fight on their own. don't come here if you like to have a good time because this staff will make sure you end up in the hospital for it!
