Backstage Bar & Grill

"Backstage is a Culver dive bar staple. The 80-year-old tavern across the street from Sony Studios has no cover, no minimum for groups, and one of the most underrated karaoke situations in town. Drinks are cheap, the bar food is better than it needs to be, and there’s even a fire pit in the back. Consider it an all-purpose destination for watching a game, after-hour sing-a-thons, or the final stop on a night of bar-hopping. " - nikko duren

"This neighborhood fave is primarily known for their balls-to-the-wall karaoke nights, but on game days, they’re filled with Seahawks fans (who, it should be noted, get first dibs on the TVs) and lots of locals, too. Even if your team loses, you’ll have a good time at Backstage." - kat hong, james montgomery

"Backstage is a Culver City bar staple. The 80-year-old dive across the street from Sony Studios has no cover, no minimum for groups, and one of the most underrated karaoke situations in town. Drinks are cheap, the bar food is better than it needs to be, and there’s even a firepit in the back. If you want to keep things casual, but still feel like you’re having a real party, Backstage is where you go." - brant cox, brett keating

"Located across the street from Sony Studios in Culver City, this 80-year-old dive bar has been an industry staple for years and is home to one of the best karaoke situations in town. On Thursday through Saturday, people start lining up early (sign-ups start at 7:30pm) to get very drunk and sing loudly into a microphone. Whether you’re in the market for a live performance or not, this place is guaranteed to be a fairly unhinged night with excellent people-watching." - brant cox
