JJ Sullivan's Irish Pub

Margaret is hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by. From the moment you sit down, she makes you feel welcome and taken care of. Her customer service is truly exceptional and she’s attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind.

I stopped in for a drink hoping for a friendly, homey feel and I was not disappointed. Margaret and I chatted a bit while she also served plenty of other customers. I could tell some were regulars by the conversations they had, and the cheering coming from the pool table at the back sounded fun; she explained that the league was having playoffs or something? The music was great in my opinion, ranging from Ozzy to the Grateful Dead.

Worst pint I’ve ever been poured. Should not be allowed to call themselves an Irish Pub. Will never go back.

Quaint, stylish and inviting. The bartender was friendly and on top of things. Would come in more ofter

If you're looking for a dive bar, this is the place. Pool table in the back. Juke box Nice bartenders.

I like everything about this place except the drink people that wanna get into flights.

Everything was great here except for one idiot playing the air drums on the bar for about an hour. Almost 70 years old and doesn't realize how annoying that is , lol. I'm trying to watch the damn Dodgers game.

If you like Dive Bars, hole in the wall places, this one's for you. Red vinyl decor, very Irish ceiling tiles oh, and definitely lots of characters in this place. All ages, all walks of life oh, it's amazing how everybody comes together in one place. I gotta admit, the service is phenomenal!! There is one, yes just one bartender behind the bar, and she did an exceptional job with handling around at least 30 people at the bar. Then there is a guy with long hair that comes by to help, remind you that there's food in the back. And he's awesome too. Really friendly. My only gripe about this place is that they have a jukebox which plays music way too loud. Lol. It was extremely hard carrying on a conversation. But you know, I still got to give this place five stars, and it's a combination of the bartender, the guy with the long hair who is helping out, and the overall Ambience of this place. I'll be back!

Went there last night for St. Patrick's Day and have to say it was a blast. The crowd was good, no bad vibes considering how packed it was and people bumping into one another. The bartenders did a good job at pushing out the drinks. I'm not sure how it is on a regular night crowd wise, but all I can say is that the drinks are good.

Every time I come in here, it's always a good vibe. I always have get a seat somewhere in the place preferably inside the whole ambience of the place really does give Irish pub even though I've never been to an Irish pub. Their signature drinks that are a purée. Have to be one of the best. Definitely recommend for a little drink here and there somewhere that is a little hidden

Trying to think of a good description of the vibe and I arrived at a nice dive bar. It has that neighborhood dive bar vibe where everyone seems to know each other and are very friendly but the place isn't worn in yet. They have a great selection of whiskey as a Irish Pub should. The juke box is loud enough you can hear it when the place is busy but not too loud that you can't talk. They have plenty of TV's if sports is your thing. It's a favorite after dinner place when ever we are in the area.

I really don't like angry bartenders. Serving stuff with anger. It's the blonde lady that works tonight. Early evening shift. She just want to sit with her little crowd of three. They must give her, a lot of money, and the rest of us. We're just a problem in her way. Like cussing at me? So out of line. I will never buy a drink in this bar again. I'm sure she was drinking.

This is a good place to stop and enjoy a quick drink and food, The staff is pleasant and helpful and I enjoy the ambience!

Went on 05/30 around 12am. My first time at the bar and the Security guard at the door was welcoming and vibes were there. Got a Guinness and a modelo on tap. I noticed the modelo looked flat visually and tasted it, unfortunately it was flat and assumed the CO2 needed to be serviced. So I requested the bartender, Margaret, if she can instead give me a bottled modelo. Keep in mind that I was already charged and tipped as well. I respectfully requested the bottle of modelo instead and the bartender was giving me the hardest time for what I believe is a simple request. She first says that It will mess with her bottle count if she gives me a replacement , then she said I was the first one to complain about it, she then proceeds to ask two people next to us if their beer was flat. In the end I was annoyed and ended up getting the modelo in a bottle after she said all that. I do not understand why the bartender was being difficult acting like the bottle was coming out of her paycheck. Customer service Is something people come back to places and I unfortunately felt like I was a nuisance for requesting something that was beyond my control. Will most likely not come back or recommend the place. Do Better

There is one blonde bartender driving away business because she is more concerned with her boyfriend than actual customers. She is weird and jealous and aggressive to regular customers because whatever weird drama she has going on in her life. I don't know or care, but as a paying customer I was met with a weird aggression that was both unnecessary and dark. I just want to have a lighthearted experience. This was intense and insane!!! I've never had such drama for just having a drink in a bar. Wtf?

Great little dive in the valley. I come by occasionally, and the bartender Margaret is always warm and welcoming and provides great service!

Margaret is the best ever. 10/10 vibe and we love her so much. Great music & appreciate her always

I went to the restroom at this bar. Shortly after 2 women started to twist the door handle and barged in the single stall even though I had locked it. The key was given to them by the female bartender. I was completely violated, my pants were down & the 2 women barged into the restroom saying that I was taking too long. Once the woman barged in, they started to snort drugs while the other used the toilet, The security was notified and nothing was resolved. The women were allowed to stay at this bar and threatened to take physical action against me. Ladies please be aware and avoid this place at all costs

Love this place, conveniently located. Bar tenders are very friendly and professional. Always clean. An incredibly kept pool table. pool table. Plenty of parking.

We went into JJ Sullivan's to get a drink with 8 people, it was my son's 21st birthday. My son has a Service Animal (dog) who is highly trained. We were told to leave the bar and told we would not be served as dog's are not allowed. We tried to explain that he is a service animal and it is against ADA law to refuse to serve us. The bar tender didn't care, she made a stupid comment that my 21 year old didn't have an obvious disability like a cane! OMG.

It was a cool vibe, kind of wish they played Irish music, but other than that, it was overall good vibe. I did get a splash of liquor in my eye, by the girl bartender when was making drinks. Free shot would've been cool too. It stung

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for a quick stop-by. Megan was on duty, super sweet and on her game! Drinks were perfect. The place got busy around 4pm. Juke box playing the Jams, pool table. I ordered pizza from Topanga Pizza and had it delivered. Two thumbs up! Side note: avoid the place fri and Sat when Cassie is working... she's shady. Up charges and pours are terrible. Cheers!

Cool place to hang out on St. Paddy's Day. Of course, I had to drinks Guinness for the occasion... but it wasn't as tasty as I remembered. Usually I don't drink dark beers, but you have to have a Guinness on St. Patrick's Day! We were lucky enough to snag a table after hanging out at the bar. And it was nice to help myself to the free corned beef, potato, and cabbage. Cool beans.

Great mix drunks and bartenders are friendly. Great atmosphere and probably because of older crowd. Negative is the parking.

Cool spot for locals. hole in the wall however very chill. Pool table usually taken however the bar is just what you need for a late night drink before going home! Bartender is always alone however she gets the job done

Awesome spot! Very chill atmosphere to grab a beer or a cocktail and watch sports or play pool. Margaret and the staff gave excellent service. Would absolutely come again!

Came here after a long, hot day of working on cars at work. I was pleased to be greeted by margret. Check out their happy hour and its worth it. An affordable, relaxing spot to wind down after work. Ill be back next friday! :)

Great little local bar. Stopped in a while ago and now make a point of coming in whenever I'm on this side of town. Margaret is great. Would definitely recommend

Great service! Margaret is such a great bartender and so nice to talk to! Super great drinks for a good price !

The food is great!!! Margaret makes the best hot dogs ever even though shes a republican lol ps can you look for my liver? I think I left it at the bar.

There are many times when you walk into a bar and expect the same chlorine drenched putrid stinking watering hole. But tonight we walked into jj's and were welcomed with cold beers and a rather large embrace of friendliness. The drinks were served and the music was blasting. Cassie killed it behind the bar and I was unable to focus on anything else. Jj's doesn't disappoint. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference - WC

Margaret made us very uncomfortable and was extremely rude. Even talked about us to other people in the bar. Strangest bar experience we've ever had.

Great friendly atmosphere, amazing prices killer drinks & awesome people !!! LOVE this place

Super fun! I don't normally do reviews, but the bartender assumed I was going to... so here it is: I didn't catch the bartenders name, but she's like your mom's single friend who had an open relationship with her plastic surgeon in the 90's. She was very entertaining in so many ways. The pool table scene was great... just beware that if you win too much, other patrons might get upset.

Not the best but it could be worse. Came here bar hopping tonight and had fun. There's a jukebox but it's controlled by phones so people can skip over and your song never gets played.

Fin place, older crowd, decent pool shooters, and everyone seems to get along fine. Recently started coming here often and will continue.

Been coming to this place for years, I ordered a drink and when i grabbed the beer it slipped and spilled. (maybe the glass was wet) I cleaned it up as much as I could. I was expecting another drink because it was an accident but had to ask for it. She told me she would give me half. This is a nice bar that has been updated but I have felt that Margaret sucks the life blood out of the place, On another occasion she took so long to acknowledge me i just left. Updated bar... outdated bartender. Enough for me not to return if she's there.

My favorite local lil dive bar! Honestly always a good time. However 2 stars because the last 10 times I've been there this and last year, there's no bouncer. I'm talking Fridays, saturdays, etc. This doesn't seem safe for the all-female bartending staff OR the customers. Hoping this review makes its way to the owners and they change their ways. Saving money by cutting on security is never a good call and as a customer it makes the owners look pretty greedy and uncaring.

My friends and I have been going to JJ's for years now...but the most recent visit was a real disappointment. It was a Friday night and there was a newer bar tender there, huge fake boobs and definitely high on something. She was not attentive to the customers, her back was turned to us more than she was facing us. We had to wait FOREVER to pay our bill. And she took FOREVER to take orders. We have no idea how she got the job here... please bring back the old bartenders like Emily who could actually do their job.

Love this bar!! Came in because the wait at local peasant next door was 30 minutes and was pleasantly surprised with this little irish pub. Margaret was our bartender and she was absolutely delightful. I will definitely be back

Regular bar. Long Island is good. They don't know some drinks. Dark ambiance. Pool table. High end juke box. Regular locals. Pretzels and sometimes nachos. My favorite spot. Nothing to instagram here.

You can't go wrong with a good Irish pub. The service here is great--I was greeted and taken care of as soon as it sat down at the long wood top bar. Margaret was very friendly and helpful. The staff cares about where they work and want to help their customers--not easy to find in LA. If you're looking for a good pub with good people, I recommend this place.

Shoutout to Margaret!! Dopest bartender! Lovely lady and hooked it up for the homies last day in LA! Love you lady!

Can't beat a spot that plays country music, plus happy hour specials and friendly bartenders!

Clean, decent Irish Coffee... feels like a regular joint... it quite the warm and fuzzies I've received from other pubs, when I did frequent back in the day...

Favorite local bar! Great atmosphere, good vibes; glad to grab a pint here again. Was looking forward to seeing Margaret after all this time. Solid pours, pool, etc.

The vibe of this place is amazing! Margaret the bartender is a sweetheart! She's so welcoming and attentive. They even have coffee! I think I found my new favorite bar!

Went there at 1:15am the other night, you would have thought we had Corona virus the way we were treated. The red headed bar tender was a RAGING BITCH. She threw the coasters at us, and acted as if we were bothering her social hour with the other regulars who got anything they wanted with a yes and a smile. We paid $22 for two glasses of wine and we didn't even drink them because the atmosphere was horrible with drunken regulars. She's lucky I tipped her as much as I did with all the hard looks she was giving us. If I had it my way, she would have gotten $0. At least the bouncer was nice, so there's a plus.

The remodel is a definite improvement. Much love goes to the wood work of the bar itself. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jj-sullivans-irish-pub-woodland-hills?select=9YPdvLJpQfDjjWA47V6NWw#9YPdvLJpQfDjjWA47V6NWw The awesome ceiling treatment was a nice surprise. Seems the owners spared no expense. The interior may be new, but it's the same ol' regulars bellying up to the bar... A damn shame their draft selection is lackluster. I'm adding a star cuz it's a far cry from the shite-hole it used to be. Trudat. I'm out.

Stopped by as we were waiting for dinner, the bartender (Margaret) was amazingly nice and poured us wonderful drinks. The ambiance is a true Irish pub, played pool for a bit as well. 10/10 would go here again

Margaret is the best! A bartender's bartender, we come in just to see her. And she pours one hell of a perfect Guinness.

The Leslie to Leah transition around 8 pm on a Saturday is the finest experience woodland hills has to offer. You'd be doing a disservice to not come aboard the L and L train. Plus Union Jack on tap

I'm a Bostonian and this is the spot! Margaret the bar tender is sweet as pie! It's a great spot to feel like I was at home. If you want wet your whistle play a game of pool and be surrounded by good people this is it!

First time going to this bar with a friend . We went with the intention of playing pool & drinking a beer . We couldn't help but feel a weird vibe from everyone there. The bartender took forever to attend us as if it was busy but it wasnt. She was just purposely ignoring us .Later on some girl came up to us asking why we were there, What was the reason, if we didnt live near by why were we there. I asked her if it was a problem. I asked her why she was asking so many unnecessary questions and she said because we were dressed differently and didn't belong. She also mentioned she was "half Mexican" which made me feel racially profiled because i never mentioned my race. I HATE to mention that my friend and i are two young brown hispanic guys and just about everyone else was white.

Post our yummy dinner at The Local Peasant, we wanted to walk somewhere nearby and have a drink. Though we loved TLP, We wanted to go somewhere a little quieter, as the TLP crowd got a little bit younger and louder. We walked just to the other side of the liquor store just on the other side of the parking lot and found JJ's. By the looks from the outside, we expected peanuts on the floor, a dank smell, and a worn out-- yet charming-- dive bar. When we entered the small door, we were surprised to see that it more closely resembled a speakeasy than a drinking hole-- but with a few oltelevisions. Perhaps it was because they were showing the Dodger game and they won, but we REALLY enjoyed hanging out at JJ's. There were locals, but it was not crowded. The patrons were laid back and looked like they were just there to have a drink or two for a bit, which was what we did. JJ's is a great neighborhood spot. Solid drinks. Unpretentious. Great service.

Wonderfully clean and homey bar. Margaret was an absolute delight. The regulars were a hoot.
