Footsies

Footsies is a kitschy, velvet painting adorned dark dive bar situated in a somewhat iffy neighborhood that makes it all the more fabulous. Everything from the bar to the tables to the furniture tends to look a little worse for the wear, giving it that authentic 'if you don't like it, too bad' authenticity that I like in a dive bar. My one mini gripe is that the cabernet wine is crap, but they are not there to please pinkies-up wine drinkers. Order a hard cocktail and you'll be feeling great about being at Footsie's.

Bartender was rude and short with me and my friends all night. I forgot to close out and when I went back for my card the next day the bartender gave themself a 28% tip on my tab. Will not be going back everrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

What a cool place. Nice mood, dancefloor and smoking patio. Right next door to digital debris which is also a must see.

Their karaoke nights are beyond a great time!

dive bar, decent drinks. fun time if the dj is good. patio area

Miss the ol footsies. Used to have more of a dive grungy feel to it. Seems like all the cool stuff got pushed to weekdays and the weekends got reserved for normie type of stuff. It’s just different all around. The dance scene is so over kill now that I think people are looking for a place to party without all the dance stuff. From my experience dancers aren’t drinkers. If you’re dancing, you ain’t drinking. Change the scene up and I’m sure revenue will go up as well. It used to be more of a party bar which it’s well suited for. Could be worse, at least it’s not little joy. r.i.p…

Fun dive bar, I used to come here like 15 years ago. Still the same cool vibe.

Great dive bar - we went for a Christmas market where they had booths on the patio and really cool tin ornaments on sale!

If you're looking for cheap drinks, good service, and a fun crowd then Footsies is your place. This cozy dive bar sports an old school vibe with its leather booths and semi-nude paintings on the wall. I've driven by here numerous times but never stopped for a drink. My dear friend started spinning on Sunday, so it was the perfect excuse to finally check it out. Inside is dimly lit, like a good dive bar should be. There a juke box and dancefloor in the back with a small stage for live music and big screen for movies. There is also a back patio. Happy Hour is daily from 5 pm - 8 pm with $11 drink specials and $8 wells. The bartender was an absolute doll and she made me a Gin based specialty cocktail. I forgot the name, but it was Fire something. It was a bit Spicy with a nice kick. I loved it! The patrons at the bar were all friendly and very cool and made me realize that Footsies is a great neighborhood hangout. I'm not sure what it's like during the week but stop by on a Sunday for Outlaw Hour (5PM - 10 PM) and enjoy a cocktail and tunes by Goth Brooks. He spins a variety of Country, Rockabilly, & Punk. *Street parking

Footsie's rules!!! Love the music. Cool but not so loud you can't carry on a conversation. Great service. Bartender Kate is the best! Super nice and ultra cool. They usually have an amazing taco stand just to the left of the bar out front that is awesome. It is a great dive bar for hitting up after concerts or just hanging out when you want a great place to get a nice strong drink and chill.

Not really my vibe, Latin music night people wer nice tho it's a fun environment have fun

Iv'e dropped into this apparantly famous spot a couple of times and have yet to be let down. The vibes are great with everyone being kind, the dj spinning great music, to the polarizing bartender mixing up the liquid courage to get me out on the dance floor to shake my tail feathers ...

Great atmosphere I loved the dark setting and the paintings on the walls. The bartenders were all amazing as well the only downside was the drinks in my opinion.... I did not enjoy the dream something it had such a weird taste.

It's been about 5 years since my last visit. Dropped in tonight after considering some of my other old haunts. Footsies is as I remember it pre- Pandemic: dark, low key, reasonable prices, classic dark mood lighting inside and out back in the patio. Those eye catching oil paintings of semi to nude sirens still adorn the walls. No TVs so it's not a fame say place to congregate. No wifi jukebox but classic rock tunes bellow out. Old fashioned booth seats and stools at the bar.Back patio is enclosed and decorated in all black paint, black naugahyde bench seats, hanging plants. It's chill more tonight....light crowd. Me loves the old west style swinging door panels just past the front door upon entering.

Horrible place. Bad vibes all around, cant tell if staff is homophobic or not but I was not feeling seen

Have lived near this place for years and finally went Saturday night. Music was good and crowd friendly enough for a big goofy white guy a few beers deep. Near the end of the night, I went to use the bathroom and accidentally went in the woman's. Again, a few beers deep, it was dark, and I've never been here so I just thought it had a few stalls and no urinal like some quirky smaller dive bathrooms, NBD. Finishing up my business, I got a hand on my shoulder 'WRONG BATHROOM BRO', realized it was security and I apologized profusely, honest mistake etc, and he immediately replied 'YOU NEED TO LEAVE'. Got my buddy, closed my tab, and left while he's staring daggers right behind me. He was cordial as far as 'bouncers ejecting you' goes, and did let me close my tab, but... Look, I get it--Guy in the girl's restroom, maybe something shady is going on, though there was nobody else in there. But it just seemed like a really quick escalation for an honest kinda drunken mistake. Reading through other reviews, this seems like not the first incident of staff being overzealous and/or dickheads. Not coming back, Footsie's, plenty of other good dives around.

Service kinda sucks. Bartenders seem to focus on a attended a certain demographic. White old lady with bangs seemed to prefer serving guys over girls, skipped me a bunch of time even tho I was literally sitting on stool. Mostly go for the djs

Unique vibes. Cool spot to chill or catch some music. Really cool bartenders. Would def go back.

The place was good we went on Latin night and music was good and bar was goodand there was some people dancing

This 2 star is not a full reflection of the venue itself. The bartenders were amazing. Great personalities through the roof. But one sed security that was suddenly having a power trip and immediately rushing the group that was accompanying the DJ for the night out of the bar making aggressive rude and uncalled statements and amidst swung his arm and hit one of the female patrons in the eye with no acknowledgment or apologies. He is a heavier set black guy. But I'd definitely recommend going there but be careful if he's working the door

Went in today to celebrate my birthday!! And the security guard dark male being the biggest asshole !! This is not the first time we come here but sure will be the last time! As a first time mom who was able to go out for once to celebrate my birthday thanks for ruining it.

Service from the ladies was terrible. Ambiance wasn't there because music was terrible.

Pretty, pretty lame. Gen Z, I presume? Hot tip: The "D.J." doesn't play requests, not even in memoriam of The Smiths bassist, Andy Rourke, who died that today. GFY, you ignoramos.

Love this bar! Super glad it's still up an kicken. Great staff and a great vibe Also got some AMAZING burgers from their stand out front. Been trying to get em again but I think I keep missing it? It would be great if they posted a schedule or something

Erica is lovely! She took great care of us! This bar is always open til 2am. I am so grateful! Thanks for the stellar hospitality

Update: they charged me double what I actually ordered and am now disputing it with my bank. Really crappy bar. if I could give a 0 star I would. I used to go here all the time but security after tonight was RUDE! He took my drink when it wasn't even time to close yet. I still needed to close my check out and he took my drink. I hate this place and would not recommend it to anyone anymore. Security is butt. Nothing will change my opinion.

Adding to the list of security staff complaints... A certain door guy *ahemFERNANDO*... excuse me... brought up "La Raza" for some reason as I was being kicked out of karaoke night for saying "fuck footsies" on mic. Fait is fair, but good god, why are we bringing such topics into the mix? Ridiculous. lol

I've been to Footsies off and on for about 5 years. I hadn't stayed until closing in a long time. Tonight I was here celebrating that I had won the Halloween costume contest and had had a voucher for drinks. The drinks were ok. About 1:40am We were yelled at by bartenders and security to leave. I was waiting for someone to close my tab. I had to tell them that I'm waiting to pay, as a security guard was telling me to exit now. It was rude. Bartenders were on microphones shaming people leaving the bathrooms to hurry and stop doing drugs. I was super offended. I never write reviews about much, but this behavior is totally uncalled for. I will NEVER go back. F*ck this place.

I love Footsies. I really do. It has been a really great and chill place to hang out at. They have great music and themed nights. The patio is a great spot to drink and have a smoke. On 3/21/24 I went to their disco night with a friend. It was moderately busier than expected. We are waiting at the bar and it seems like there is only one bartender (blonde girl). This other dark haired girl waltz in. She's completely wasted. Takes my order and I see her mingling with bar patrons at the end of the bar. 5 mins passes as we are still waiting there- she sees us and asks what do we want. I said I had ordered from her 5 mins ago (all I could was was it's literally 2 beers- not really hard to pour a beer!) I was never rude to her or said anything. I just repeated my order again and told her she already took our order. She seems upset by this and gets our drinks- blonde lady says to my friend and I "she's having a rough day". Dark haired bartender comes back and starts calling me an asshole for no reason. Other bartender has to step up and telling her to stop. I'm trying to close my tab and she keeps repeatedly asking me "open or closed? Asshole". This girl is so drunk she can't even ring it up in POS system. I shouldn't have taken the drinks. Honestly should've been on the house considering how wasted and mean she was. I felt really bad for the blond girl for having to hold down the whole bar while her co worker was completely trashed. Outside in the smoke patio, I end up talking to other patrons saying they had similar interactions with her that night and that she was being hostile. Hey maybe don't have your bartender be completely wasted and rude to your patrons? It looks trashy and it was an unpleasant experience

I had a good time playing Shit Show Bingo. The guy next to me only played twice, with the last round played for the grand prize. He played the last two rounds. He won both times and was mildly booed by about three people. The prizes included a 'Have a nice day' birdie mug and an old bondage magazine. The crowd was fun and laid back and they had a decent drink selection. Parking was easy too!

Stay away from this bar. Bartender blonde girl with bangs and Stephen who is in charge of booking bands are hostile towards customers. Run the bar like they're rockstars who can treat people subpar and don't align to whatever warped standard they have in their minds of bar patrons. I don't know who hired these people and put them "in charge" but something needs to change. I have been here several times and served by various people. All have been friendly or just neutral. Fine because you're busy. All that is except for the blonde haired bartender with bangs who was working Saturday night 8/26. SHE TAKES YOUR MONEY! This has been the second time she's done this to me. The first was when she charged me 10 $ for a Modelo. Only to see later on the beer menu it was 8$. I asked another customer and they only paid 8. Now fast forward to tonight. I hadn't been here in a while and wanted to catch some good music. WELL she serves me again- but not before serving 3-4 people before me when I was clearly sitting In Front of her waiting to be served AND making sure the other bartenders wouldn't serve me specifically so she could pull this bs behavior. Next she gives me the beer that asked for ( Miller) not an expensive drink by any means which is fine so I can give tip. It's 4$ and hand her a 5 dollar bill. As I Watch her she promptly walks away and doesn't return any change (1$). Now I am not concerned with giving any amount of tip where it is due and especially with such a minimal amount of money HOWEVER this woman displayed a total lack of professionalism and a completely blasé and PRIVILEGED attitude towards taking money. After she had initially walked away and continued serving others I brought it to her attention by asking "is the Miller, four dollars (as posted) or is it five dollars? ". She responds with, "it's 4". At this point, I am not upset nor I am bothered because I summed it up to a mistake, but what she says, and how she reacts next tells otherwise. "Oh well I gave you a five and I didn't get any change back", I tell her. In a sarcastic and snide tone she spats back "what you don't tip?". NEVER have I been to a bar where they hold this attitude. I proceed to explain yes I do but when people take the liberty to take what isn't theirs it bothers me and isn't professional. Immediately she changes her tone- " Oh well sorry, it's really busy right now and I just forgot to give it back to you." RIGHT. After you were able to keep tabs perfectly on everyone else in the bar but somehow forgot in an instant when you served me? Likely story. I could go on and the experiences I've heard from SEVERAL others about the bartender Stephen are a whole other story. Just so you know Footsies-your staff is getting a reputation in the surrounding neighborhoods for being crappy, non safe space (as i felt as a local) , caters only to certain crowds of people and being aggressive . Do better and train you staff to be professional instead of keeping weird vendettas and skimming money off the top of customers. Truly a disgrace.

Fire or train your security better. Did not even make it past the front door because the security was fishy about my Id witch is 100% real. Not only that he made jokes at me for wasting my time to drive there and support that band and bar. Real peace of shit staff you got.

Staff was drunk when we got there. Ready to fight bands and patrons. Never have I been to a place where the staff was drunker than the patrons. Door guy was cool, doing his job, but the bartender and the sound guy were just rude and ready to start something with whoever wasn't having it.

My fav bar, it's decor is nice but not too nice if that makes sense. It's a dark dive and fits my rocker aesthetic. Whether it's souldies or proto punk, the music is always on point for me. I enjoy chatting with the staff when I can. Charming characters that they are, They are not above ignoring anyone who comes off obnoxious or douchey trying to order drinks. So heads up, this bar is not for the clean cut, uptight, or closed minded.

Poor experience with the way the bar tenders treated me after having a dispute with the guy in the front. Not sure if it's a discrimination thing because I'm relatively light skin or what my hat said but it is not okay to treat people poorly because you do not agree with them. If you want to spend your $$$ wisely, go anywhere else that will treat anyone with respect!

My favorite bar in town . I usually come here after a heavy work night and I love that they have a smoking patio

I've been coming to Footsies occasionally since '13. I've never really enjoyed interacting with any of the bartenders until tonight. Becca is incredible. Sweet, fun, talkative, engaging, and just what they need. I hope you give her more than just Wednesday happy hour, but if not at least I know where to go on my day off.

GREATEST PLACE IN THE WORLD every bartender here is so kind and gorgeous, the service is unbeatable!

The bartenders here are really shady. Our night was going well until it was time to close out our tab. We had a drank a few so we weren't on our A-game but when the bartender asks to hold your ID and bank card while your tab is open, they should ensure that you get it back at the end of the night. Our total came out to $49 dollars and we tipped $10 in cash. They took it upon themselves to charge us $59. Essentially stealing from us after we've already paid them what we owed and tipped on top of that. It's really unfortunate that this bar took it upon themselves to take more money than what was authorized. We will definitely be disputing the claim.

They don't let you keep the bathroom door closed so you have to go to the bathroom in public because they're worried about drugs... trashy

What happened to this place? I love the vibe and ambiance of the bar itself, but I really hope they bring back some of the soul and r&b music and DJs they used to have. Just because you play records doesn't mean you can DJ. They keep doing the same hipster music with the same crowds... last few times I've been, it feels uninspired and not very welcoming. Even when they do "hip hop" nights, it just hipsters playing rap. It was way cooler when they had more diversity each night, in addition to their rock and oldies nights... that's what made it a special place to be. I'm sure the bar is making its money, but it's becoming just another cookie cutter gentrified bar for hipsters like every other bar in LA... it used to be the place to be when we would go there. Not anymore. Pretty sad.

Went here for the first time last night, the music was great and so were the vibes BUT.... The bartender was horrible. From the minute my friends and I arrived we knew the bartender would be an asshole. At one point in the night I went to go get drinks. I stood there for 20 minutes waiting for him to take my order, he kept skipping me and taking every other persons order but mine. I'm not usually one to be rude to a bartender because I understand how hard they work , but it was just blatantly clear he was ignoring me. If you were a POC he was ignoring you, which is a joke because he was Latino and wearing a bad bunny tshirt ... such a lame .

As a long time customer - I dId not expect a certain bar staff member, who is always there sloppy drunk, to be rude - great going Chris - you are really winning at life.

Bartenders complaining about tips is extremely unprofessional, especially when they made us less than 2 drinks all night. When your tab is $200.. expect them to ask you "IS THEIR SERVICE IS OKAY?" HE MADE US 2 drinks! Multiple bartenders made us drinks. NOT JUST YOU IDIOT!!'

I had been here several times before... On this particular night, I was there for a personal celebratory time. They had a DJ spinning that night and what started as a festive event for me because a very uncomfortable experience. Shortly after I arrived, I was greeted over the loud speaker by the DJ as he chanted of N****, the most heinous and offensive word in the English dictionary... And because I am Black, I took it VERY personal. I confronted the DJ in a peaceful manner to question if I had heard him correctly and not only did he not back down, he became aggressive towards me, making physical contact with me 2-3 times. He stated that he was Black, which was not apparent and arguable as he looked like a White man... That is neither here nor there, because it was EXTREMELY unprofessional and offensive. He also proceeded to use the F***** word over the loud speaker, which is a derogatory phrase to gay people. I'm not gay, but I'm sure that the word had to offend others who were present. Even if it did not, it was EXTREMELY uncalled for and VERY unprofessional and unacceptable in that kind of public space. I complained to the manager onsite, but I left there with the impression that no action who be taken to hold the DJ accountable. I WILL NEVER attend that place again as a result of the above.

I grew up in Highland Park so Footsies's has been a place to go hang out every now and then. I've never been a regular but my friends and I have enjoyed their music nights lately over the last couple of months so we've been going on a weekly basis. The times we've gone we always seem to have the same bartender, short blonde hair girl. Not much personality. 1st incident, she gave me the wrong drink and when I brought it out to her attention she said I was wrong. All I ordered was a Jack and Coke, how can you mess that up? Anyway after getting defensive and tasting the drink she finally made me another one. 2nd incident, I'm assuming she must have been a little tipsy because she kept on forgetting our drink orders and had to double check right after taking our order. I like this bar and will keep going, just not sure how management can hire people with low customer service standards and zero personality. I get it they look all hip in their "cool clothes" but a smile goes a long way as well.

Great scene, music slaps ~ My girl friend and I uber'd here from Zebulon because our partners were at the Terry Allen concert there. We decided we didn't want to wait around for them and I'm glad we made that decision. Maybe two dj's spun during the few hours we were there, playing the coolest music that either wouldn't show up on shazam or the dj never figured out the translation on the record cover. I loved the ambience as well. When we got there around 9pm, it was still early in the night so we found a comfy spot on the outside couches and chatted for an hour or so. We came back inside for more drinks and it started to get somewhat crowded. We also indulged in the little photo booth which turned out funny because we couldn't determine when it was about to take a picture. Drink prices are standard, but I kind of expected them to be a bit cheaper - $12 cocktails and $6/$7 well drinks.

Went from my favorite dive bar to a club, I feel indifferent about this gentrification....RIP the old footsies The pool table is gone, there aren't any more drink deals and gratuity is included in every order placed at the bar...

I came here on 'oldies' night for my birthday. They let me bring in outside food. They have bike parking right out front. There's a 24hour donut shop across the street. The lights are low and the drinks are cheap. There's a disco ball and a pool table and a jukebox. If you're gay this is a safe haven.

I have never been to Footsie's before until tonight. While I know it's one of many LA venues that has a reputation of inviting bands to play, I unfortunately found myself on the receiving end of unruly behavior by certain individuals who were aggressively "moshing." One guy hit me from his "moshing," and I had to go home immediately to address my injury. There are several things I want to point out as to why, apart from getting injured from the "moshing," this was totally bad and very wrong. It's beyond dangerous to do at this place, Footsie's. This is not the Wiltern, Palladium, El Rey, or other small sized venue with a dedicated stage - like the former venues known as The Satellite or even The Hi Hat. Footsie's is a very tiny bar, no dedicated stage whatsoever, with only one authorized entrance/exit for patrons. There is an exit way at the back that goes to a patio area (which has no authorized exit for patrons to leave, but they have security "guarding" that door out) and the pathway from the patio to the inside is an area that security tries to "keep clear" for oncoming patron traffic to the entrance/exit and restrooms from their "stage" area. In retrospect, it seems they care about safety in ONLY that respect. I was standing by the wall towards the restrooms when this all happened, so I was not blocking traffic at all when the guy ran towards my way and hit me from his "moshing" while the show happened. He ran up to me intentionally with his little "moshing" charade to start trouble. This is also a total safety hazard considering that this place serves their drinks in GLASSES. When you look at this in the big picture, it's all a recipe for disaster if this is something that probably goes on often. This "moshing" seems to be allowed because there was a security person standing around doing his "duty" to watch the clearance pathway. Despite that, this suggests that they know and allow this to be acceptable behavior by certain patrons. They were there clearly watching this happen. They did absolutely nothing. Being in pain, I knew I had to go as soon as I could get myself together. I attempted to leave from the other end for my safety, but I was told I was not allowed to go out that way from the man "guarding it." I wasn't happy that I ended up leaving during the act I came to see, but after what happened to me for safety reasons, I felt I had no other choice. My experience was so unbelievably bad, I plan to print this review and send it to the business's address. Since this place is "unclaimed," I am compelled to do what I can to let them know for the wellness and safety of other patrons. This venue means well by having a place for bands to play, but this is simply not acceptable and dangerous behavior.

It is really easy to miss from the main street but parking is found in the back. Cool local hang out with stiff drinks made by Melanie. Melanie is not only a smoking hot red head with a bubble butt but is attentive and emotionally intelligent. It is always refreshing to have a hot babe serve you a nice drink. I felt at home with the locals as I found them to be down to earth. Bathroom is small but they do have a smoking patio in the back. The decor is old but very cool. Big dark booths are offered to have a private intimate gathering. Pool Table back parking easy to get around (no stairs) credit accepts full bar cheap drinks I highly suggest to go in when Melanie is in because she will take care of you. I am a fan and I shall return.

I'd like to give a more indepth review of the facilities at Footsies, unfortunately I never got past the doorman. I noticed a new wave/disco spin on a Wednesday night at this dive-ish bar in Highland Park. It was a bit off the beaten path but I wanted something fresh and different from my usual Wed. night club haunts. I found close and easy street parking which was my first clue that it was probably dead inside. There was no line and my friend and I showed our IDs and vax proof. I could just peek inside and could tell it was pretty empty but the music sounded very danceable. My friend is rather scatterbrained thus it took him awhile to bring-up his proof-of-vax QR screen. When he finally showed it, along with his photo ID, the doorman announced that he couldn't accept it as proof. I mean, WTF?? QR code, matching photo ID...do we now need to produce the administering nurse? If it was a busy night, I'd think it was a deliberate refusal due to exclusivity or esoteric standards. But it was a dead and empty Wednesday night so perhaps just good ole racial profiling? Whatever the case, our night was ruined due to the doorway despot. Will I be returning to Footsies in the boonies? Not bloody likely.

The door man is incredibly rude for no good reason. Some bartenders could use an attitude check. Decent DJ nights though.

I don't live far so I try to get up here when I'm looking for some low key fun. Dive bar type spot so clubsters beware. Owned by the same ppl that own Short Stop in Echo Park so if you get that hipster-y vibe that's why. Music is arguably the most eclectic I've seen in LA. Some nights it's soul, funk, r&b. Some nights it's punk or new wave or metal so mega props for always shaking things up. I usually drink whiskey but when I have a beer I tend to go for the baseline crisp ones like Pacifico, pbr, studweiser et al if a bar doesn't have an extensive beer list or it's flooded with IPAs (that bubble has already burst. Move on already), but they keep a good 5 tap rotation. Almost always find a stout or some sort of Belgian (both of which I love). I'm not sure if they have cocktails cause I've never asked. Just not my style. Security guards are always very nice. That guy Bob is a fucking pool shark, so bring your A game. He's REALLY good. Bartenders are friendly for the most part. Can get that detached "why are you keeping me employed attitude" from time to time, but only seen that a few times. Overall it's what you want from a dive. Dark, plenty of seating room (and a back patio for drinking/smoking/carousing), liquor, beer, pool. Added bonus the music is always all over the place. Personally that's my wow factor. Unless you're into the hipster set, it's not much of a singles scene and most people come as couples or groups so you have been warned lady and mankillers. It's a must if you're in the area

Located in the heart of Lincoln Heights, Footsie's has everything you'd want out of a good dive bar. Cheap and strong mixed drinks (don't worry, if you're a beer lover like myself, they have IPAS & lagers), a pool table, booth & bar seating, sweet bartenders, and a back patio with quite a bit of seating. One thing I will mention is it's VERY hard to see inside since the lights are so dim and sometimes the noise level of the jukebox is LOUD so it may be hard to hear. Nothing pretentious about this place folks! If you're driving here - there should be plenty of street parking in the area.

YAY! The smell's been fixed. Back to 4 stars for you, Footsies! Previous review - I used to love this bar. I still love everything about it except for the **SMELL** that has crept in over the past few months. It is now beyond bearable and I can't last more than 5 minutes in there. I assume it's a sewage issue? FOOTSIES - GET A PLUMBER TO SNAKE YOUR PIPES. It's not that expensive. #FixTheFootsiesStink

Though I grew up in the area, I'd never been to Footsie's until last night. I wish I hadn't. Upon arrival, the bar wasn't packed but there were TWO (2) women behind the bar serving drinks. The one on the right was busy chatting it up and talking about horses with a group of customers she was serving. The one on the left (bouncer said her name is "ANNEL, pronounced like anal") was also serving a group of people, but it looked as though she was almost done so we decided to wait for her to be done to tend to us. I made eye contact with her several times, you know, the kind that says "we'd like to be next." She's running up and down the bar looking for new bottles to open, serves the group a round of shots, serves HERSELF a shot, we glance at each other one more time after she's had her shot. She grabs her personal pink cocktail off the shelf and proceeds to walk around the bar and towards the door. At this point, my group is watching her walk right behind us and she FINALLY acknowledges us and says "OH IM NOT WORKING" giggles, and goes to sit with another friend of hers at the end of the bar. Excuse me, what??? So you're telling me this establishment allows off the clock bartenders to serve themselves and their friends free drinks? Awesome. Anyway, annoyed we decide to wait for the first bartender to finish up her super interesting horse conversation and listen as she also gives away free drinks lol. We ordered a round of beer and I will say the beer itself was great. It was tasty and cold. Went back for a second round and first bartender was alone at the bar but stacking cups and cleaning up, so I asked "Can I place an order with you?" simply because I was trying to be polite, It was more of a "are you ready? I can wait" question because she was obviously busy. She responds with "well I'm the only one you can order with so yeah" I'm sorry but these people are a-holes. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! Spend your money elsewhere. We should have gone to the Verdugo bar. They have great beer and service is awesome.
