"Centrally placed on North Lake Avenue (next door to the local coffee spot and a block away from El Patron), this neighborhood dive bar functioned as a walkable, grown-up local spot where people could find a taste of home: sipping a beer, downing a shot, or taking in one of Southern California’s best bloody marys. It served as a reunion point for locals who had moved away and wanted a familiar place to gather. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
