Discover Our Legacy

The Space:

 Brick walls, Naugahyde booths, a real chimney in the middle, and a jukebox you actually control. No TVs blasting games you don’t care about. Just a bar that looks like a bar.

The Crowd:

Industry folks, Valley lifers, first-timers who walked in by accident and stayed for three hours. All ages, all nights. Everyone leaves knowing someone’s name.

The Drinks:

Classic cocktails done right. A tequila program we’re proud of. Cold beer. And yes — the popcorn is still free.

What We're Pouring

The classics are classics for a reason — Old Fashioned, Negroni, Manhattan. We also just built a tequila and agave program worth coming in for, with artisanal pours and a house margarita made with fresh lime. No shortcuts.

"Straight from the regulars"

Love this place. A true local gem. Open late night and a great down to earth feeling each time you go. Service is terrific and the atmosphere is laid back old school. Folks from all ages and all walks of life mix and mingle in a cool Hollywood throwback atmosphere.

Best bar in the entire world. Will spend my Birthday here for generations to come and every holiday and meet n' greet I throw. I'm done trying out the gentrifier wine bars on the Eastside and other hipster locations around town. Im a down home valley girl & so are my friends, this is where it started and this is where it will end. There's no other bar like this in the world! Next time, a round of jager bombs on me!

Love the Sweep. It's my go to after work most weekdays. Long days at work, I enjoy coming into this old school dive bar that has its local regulars as well as a rotating crowd of all ages. The bartenders are friendly and attentive and remember your regular drinks. It's perfect to grab a drink or 2 or 3, chit chat with the regulars, a group or just pit stop.
