NoBAR

Love this NoHo hidden gem of a bar, very local and passer through friendly. Parking is the biggest obstacle in the area as it's only street, but it's worth it. Great drinks, prices, places to sit, hang, and enjoy an afternoon or night. The jukebox is digital and stacked with everything your heart could desire. Flat screens in the main bar area. Huge spacious patio with picnic style tables or a few couches. Water dispensers are usually available out here as well. Pool table + indoor lounge area that is first come, first serve unless there's a party who has reserved this area. Michelle is the coolest bartender. Very go with the flow. Drink specials daily, typically on Whiskey. Open every day of the week from 5pm to close. Note: If their door is locked at or just after 5pm give it a knock. They might wait to open it if there's no one around for safety reasons.

It was my first time coming to this bar. It’s a very nice bar. Michelle was very professional. She was very nice and very friendly. I drink, whiskey, beer and whiskey and sour. It was great. I really enjoyed it

This is an amazing little neighborhood bar where everyone knows your name. Has a great outdoor patio and a very competitive pool table. Also has a digital jukebox and great drink prices. The bartenders are kinda cute too 😜

5 Star Dive Bar Fabulous spot to grab a drink with friends, the bartenders are great!

Great selection of all kinds of spirits, I noticed some of the best bourbons and whiskeys around as well. This place is reasonably priced as well, has a pool table (and change machine next to it for quarters) as well as an out door patio with picnic table seating

It’s a nice dive bar. I didn’t spend too much time here. Only two drinks. But they have a pool table in the back. A back patio that’s open until 10pm, probably because of Covid protocols. And a juke box. Great prices on drinks! A whiskey coke only cost me $7

I'm a fan of this place because I live walking distance from it and I love billiards. The ambiance is also nice cool, with dim lighting. The drinks are fine. They have Guinness drought and hard liquor. They have an oldschool music box. I heard the bartenders can be a nuisance but I have not had problem with them before.

Nice chill spot. Its small but i has more potential. The pool table should get removed and have a live dj there and the seating from the back area should also be removed and make into a dancing room. It'll definitely make more money

Adorable bar that I'm very glad the OCA SFV Quintin introduced me to! Loved the music, loved the ambiance and it felt like a come one, come all type of situation. There were some big groups, a bunch of two-somes, a bunch of solo drinkers - pretty much every situation fit in here. Also a big back patio that was covered, belly up at the bar seats, high top tables and even seats along the window for some people watching. Mostly what you watch is people walk past the entrance accidently though - it's a very discrete door, lol. Great staff, great vibes, great drinks - what more could you want in a watering hole? They had the place decorated super cute when we popped in for the holidays. Lights everywhere and ya girl is a sucker for a twinkle! It's a very down to earth bar with a cool classy dive vibe. They had some special seasonal spiked whiskey for purchase, but also decent craft beers on tap. Overall, I would call this an elevated dive bar with good music and good vibes. I liked it and wouldn't be surprised if I popped in again!

NoBar, is a Yes Bar for me! One of my favorite bars back in college. We used to pop into this place often. Especially after class from 2011 to 2013, and definitely after then until about 2019 on and off. It's still got the same vibe, but better, more updated - very cheers meets casual classy upgraded dive. The bar area is pretty wide open like a remember, cool digital jukebox to the right along with the restrooms when you walk all the way in as well as a room for billiards/pool and lounge for well lounging and a nice patio area with tons of seating and I believe some string lights, candles on tables, water dispenser and a mostly covered space. I didn't know the happy hour was sooo good here... I had three peanut butter whiskey (Bird Dog) and cokes for $16 which would've been less with cash versus a card - they offer discounts for cash! Fun Fact: You can download the AMI Music app to purchase credits/play songs via their jukebox - I turned on Cannons "Fire For You" to keep the good vibes strong while catching part of the game and enjoying the company of my friend Andrew. Michelle (pretty sure I'm right this time) was our bartender for the night and she was super cool, very mellow, amazing drinks and service rocking the coolest Matcha colored sweatshirt with the word Matcha on it. She's definitely got her regulars and she knows them well. They open at 5PM, but might keep the door locked for a little bit if super slow. You can always wave from the windows or knock. Usually if they see you coming they'll unlock for the rest of the night. Parking is street only however being off Magnolia a beat down from the Chandler Bike Path and a realistic walking distance from North Hollywood Station you have some good alternatives, including easy rideshare drop off or pick up. Check out the drink specials! Go "No" or go home!

Cute, no frills dive bar with great bartenders and friendly regulars. They have a juke box, pool table, and back patio. They also allow you to bring food inside (the taco truck that is usually out front is great). Can't ask for much more.

I dig the vibe here dark quiet and the drinks are surprisingly reasonably priced. It was relaxed tonight but it can be lively on other nights. A good place to enjoy a drink and meet some

It's no bar that I would revisit, wasn't feeling the vibe and the bartender was nice tho. Idk and drinks are good priced but felt it was ok. Was here on a Saturday night but wasn't a lot of people. Ehhh also just felt a bit awkward Maybe w some friends

gains a star because i've never seen sports on the TV at NoBar... but loses that star because they replaced their Pabst Blue Ribbon with Hamm's. it's a dive bar, so you can forgive the state of the bathrooms, etc... it's clean enough to drink in.

This really seems like a cool spot . But unfortunately it seems more for regulars than newbies. I came with a friend. I stood at the bar waiting to be served while the bartender was having a good time with the regulars there. Not really paying attention to me. When I finally ordered the bartender was not welcoming. The drinks we had or not good at all The margarita had too much citrus . My friend couldn't even finish hers . I would recommend this place for people who just don't want to be bothered and drink

This place is really cool... great vibe and not overly crowded. Definitely would have given it 5 stars but they allow smoking on the small patio and the whole area becomes rather unpleasant. I'm definitely going back but I'll be drinking inside.

First time here, love it!!!! Cheers to a lonely Christmas Eve! But phenomenal drinks and service! I was on my way to another bar but saw that this lovely spot was open and offered happy hour 5-9PM! So why not stop by and try. Love the ambiance, love the music, and how lovely and clean it looks in here.

This bar has some of the cheapest drinks in the area! Basically an all day happy hour and the drinks are STIFF. There is also a nice pool area, lounge and smoking area. All and all one of my favorite dive bars in LA

Great space to hang out with friends. Great drinks and the service is always great. Love it here

Cool lil dive bar. Plenty of space to chill, the got a pool table & a patio in the back. It's not too presumptuous either, so I was able to find parking super quick - definitely wasn't expecting that in Hollywood.

What a great place! The manager Paul is a great guy! I threw a surprise party here for my moms 60th and they went above and beyond to accommodate me! We reserved the lounge in the back and they let us bring in food and decorations and we had an absolutely great time. It's a great local bar with awesome staff and we will definitely be back.

Best dive in noho. Clean classy sand ran so well. Paul is the best. I live close by, Love it. All the regulars I've met are funny and great conversations. I Always support small businesses who are genuine and caring. Great pool players also !!

Nice little dive spot. Wasn't that busy when a friend and I came in. Bartender was personable

Cool local bar with good vibes... good music, drinks and energy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place is lit! I love coming here. Everything about it. The aesthetic, the drinks and the bartenders are all amazing. Ana is my absolute favorite. Talk about a winner. As long as she's there I'll keep showing up. Ana's hot and the drinks are cold! 10/10 would recommend.

Cozy very chill vibe. Single pool table in the back, great group of players on any given nIght. Bartenders are attentive and make a great drink. Jukebox for music and there is a great taco stand across the street. This place definitely sets the standard for dive bars in the area. 100% recommend. This definitely makes the top of the blue list!

Me and my boyfriend love Nobar! We've quickly become regulars; Paul and all of the staff are such sweet people. They make everyone feel safe and secure, the drinks are tasty and strong and you can also drink here if you have a little extra money or if your tight or in between! The atmosphere is super cool and you can tell a lot of thought goes into everything Paul and the rest of the staff does. It's not quite a dive bar like listed but also not not a dive bar. It's beautiful on the inside and has the best vibe. We love you NoBar!!!

Great Neighborhood bar. Great place to head for drinks. Not too scene-y. Great prices. The owner Paul is definitely a good dude. Just feels like a nice laid back, not too pretentious, local watering hole. Exactly what I needed here in the Valley.

One of my go to spots in NoHo. Great vibes, great people (8 times out of 10) affordable drinks, small but nice beer selection and a digital jukebox which is always nice.

Juke box needs some fckn volume...I love country music and that is only when the volume is up. Hip hop it's to shots. Love this place but it sucks. Great speakers for what!? Don't order the peach whiskey. No bueno!

This place is a hidden gem in NoHo. Although it lists it as a "dive bar" it definitely doesn't feel and look like one inside. The beer prices are amazing and they have a jukebox to play songs along with a lounge area. This is a great place to hang out without worrying of trying to be "too trendy "like some of the bars down the street. I strongly and highly recommend them. Often times, there is an amazing taco truck across the street which have $1.50 tacos and no kidding, it is the best El Pastor Tacos I've ever had- get at least 4 otherwise you will regret it. Next time I'm in town I'm definitely going here and making it my Go-To spot.

Literally kicked my friend out for wearing a tank top on a 100 degree day when there was a girl at the bar wearing a tank top. Also super slow night. Bartender said "it's a guy thing." I come here all the time and walked a mile to get here.

Dark little bar on magnolia with NO PARKING. Drinks are good nothing special or unique. They have a pool table in the back with $1 games which is nice. They have one big area with bar stools and then a more secluded areas that would be nice for big groups or big celebrations. Overall it's a little bar with average drinks and normal pricing. Nothing special. Very casual and relaxed environment.

I've been here a few times before and had a good time. Bartenders are friendly. Drink selection isn't just limited to IPA's. I've been here for karaoke a few times and had and had good time. Tonight was bad though. I signed up and was set to go up after 4 people. The guy before me did Bohemian Rhapsody and he sang the whole thing. Some places edit you if the songs are long, so that's a good song. I knew I was next and went up. The KJ was playing some music at the break and my song came up without a segue way. It just started and placed me just before the chorus. I told the KJ he was dropping me in the middle and asked to start at the beginning. I've sand this at this bat before without a problem so I know they have the full version. He told me this was beginning and bet me a hundred dollars he was right. I looked up the lyrics on my phone and showed them to him. He said I was wrong and the whole bar knew I was wrong and I either sing the song that was now almost over or get off his stage. Word of advice: Tip him after your sing because there's no guarantee he's going to be cool with you. The other girl, I think her name is Emily, is cool at least. I might come back if she's working.

So i downloaded the yelp app solely to leave this review: that's how much tonight bothered me. I have never left a negative review anywhere because I'm generally unconcerned and have better things to do with my time - but tonight was absurd. Fire your door guy. I was recording at ikon studios down the street and was in a very good mood afterwards. I used to live less than a block from the bar and would frequent it regularly for about 3 years. I also manage a restaurant down the street and eventually got to know the regulars. Always had a nice, low key time. I decided to pop in for old times sake. Immediately hit it off with some patrons playing pool and ordered one drink - i was completely sober the whole time. After about half an hour i entertained myself by doodling on the chalkboard - something I've done literally every time I've been there.not impeding the entire half of the board with names on it (there were three listed, plenty of room) - affectiing no one and nothing. Good times. The bouncer that looks both like a stunt double for the smash mouth front man as well as a nu-metal groupie approached me.now I'm a very open minded guy and if he had walked up and said "hey man I'm sorry but thats not allowed" idve said "my bad I'll erase it." i guess he thought that i wad more drunk than i was (not at all) or wanted some action, but he ended up letting me know multiple times how badly he could physically fuck me up while using the word "esoteric" totally wrong several times. Not interested in getting arrested or giving him the satisfaction of getting a rise out of me, i never returned the aggression. I did let him know i thought he was on a power trip since (1) this has never been an issue before (2) I was bothering no one (3) i always erase it anyway. He let me know that i wouldn't be able to stop him if he attacked me. I tried to speak to him outside to reconcile things, which began with him "saying his piece" first - ten minutes of verbal assault that ended with him letting me know that he would "drop me on my fucking head." i actually listened quietly. when i asked why he was continually bringing up unprovoked physical threats he said it was because he was "being pragmatic." I left on my own accord, genuinely not interested in starting any shit while he called me a prick. What an ass. What a big aggressive ass. This guy has control issues and is looking to start shit. This good night turned into one big aggravating ordeal. I wish everyone the best, but I'll definitely not be returning. Once again, if i had been told "sorry man, that's not allowed" i would have said "word, my bad." if i was drunk I'd be in jail. This motherfucker is aching to stretch his power hungry fingers wherever he can in a manner i haven't encountered in years. What an ass. What an ass.

Very Chill Place... Great bar and Service, Awesome Juke Box and pool table Very clean place, just not in a great area.

This place is a jem hidden in NoHo! Never knew it was here. Living in Studio City, it was a breath of fresh air to actually talk to people. The owner Paul, is the sweetest. He was so kind & informed me about so much on liquor. There's a great pool table room & plenty of indoor & outdoor space. Highly recommend this place if you want to hang out & play your favorite tunes on the jukebox.

I remember back in the day when this bar first opened up. It was a cool little place that was filled with the local crowd who happened to stumble in accidentally. It can be hard to notice if you are not really looking for it. The bar is unassuming, basic and plain from the outside. The inside however has lots of low tables and pods to sit on. The bar itself is on the smaller side, but seats quite a few patrons. There are two small rooms in the back, one for lounging with the same low tables and whatnot, and the other has a pool table. It is rare to see a pool table in bars here in LA, especially when you are intentionally looking for one. It is more rare to actually get a spot on the table, and it can be difficult to play your friends you came with. That is , unless you win and get to play over and over and with everyone. I am, however, not good at pool at all. So needless to say I did not end up getting to play my friends, but rather watched them play two sharks that wiped the floor with all of us. The drinks are decent, not right on measured pours but free handed pours. Not generous but not stingy either. My curiosities were sparked when I noticed a specialty drink menu on the bar that I had never seen or noticed before. I was instantly drawn to the hot and dirty. A vodka martini with olive juice and hot sauce..... hold the phone, did I just say hot sauce? Yup I did. It was interesting to say the least, sparking the interest of the group of friends I came in with. Everyone wanted to try it at first until they saw the face of the first taster. Hence, I got to finish my drink without further requests for sips. The alcohol was all mine. The hot and Dirty is a drink you don't mess around with, either you love it or hate it, there seems to be no in between. I loved it, despite the hot flash it sent through my body, not exactly what you want on a hot summer evening. The atmosphere is intended for lounging with your friends and sipping on a cocktail, while the jukebox plays some classically great tunes. A good jukebox that has at least one song for everyone on it is hard to come by, but NoBar has succeeded. So much so that Carson Daily has made this spot one of his local haunts. Due to this fact, Friday and Saturday nights can be a tight squeeze for a few people let alone a large group. So Get there early, relax and listen to some tunes. You never know who you may run into. :-)

This place is a MIXED bag 4-sure. I've been multiple times and had different experiences... so naturally I average them out and this is what I came up with. 3 stars.... and you are lucky I round up! 1st time I went, we had an amazing bartender that really hooked up the drinks and knew how to bartend shall I say. His drinks were "well" made, and I could tell there was alcohol them. He even helped suggesting a round of shooters he thought we might like.... GOING THE EXTRA MILE. 2nd time I went, we got there right as happy hour was ending and she acted like she was doing us a favor when WE CLEARLY made it before the cut off. Anyway it gets better... her drinks were noticeably WEAK, I'm talking way too much juice or sweet and sour... can you say HANGOVER?? Hangover! FYI I am light weight, and usually don't mind weaker drinks... but if I am saying they were too weak, what do you think that means?! DOT DOT DOT 3rd time they wouldn't make a shooters for us with more than 1 alcohol and 1 mix in it for happy hour, WHEN THIS WAS NO issue previously. can you say ANNOYED?? I mean come on it's all well alcohol anyway. As you can begin to see the experience really depends on the bartender you get. The place has a pool table which is fun, and a Jukebox that you can pick music from your phone and be anonymous if you so choose. There's also this dark room in the back for more intimate hangs and talking. Also beware the security/bouncer guy keeps a really close eye on things inside for someone supposedly watching the outside. TIP: Only ask for a splash of whatever mix you want in your drink or it will come out to sweet. (You can always add more splash more later)

No Bar may be the lounge-y, prissy-ier bigger sister of Bar One located on Burbank Blvd also in North Hollywood. No Bar is older, wearing red lipstick, already dating, and heading out to a concert while Bar One is the little sister staring into the bedroom, looking in admiration at its big sis. Yet, Bar One doesn't want to be No Bar... it's happy being the dive bar while No Bar is a bit classier but still with a dive-y feel. (For the record, I like Bar One better and gave it 5 stars but they are VERY similar). No Bar is certainly a lounge with a big, rough doorman and a spacious layout with couches, cushions, VERY dim lighting, a juke box, a separate room with the pool table, and another room literally filled with couches and seating arrangement for lounging. No Bar is the perfect place to meet friends versus just get a drink with a date (although that is good here too). Beers are $5 and the cocktails are strong. I got a Whiskey Sour which isn't hard to mess up, but it was exceptional at No Bar. Not to mention, the bartender was very charming. CON: there were only 2 beers are tap: Firestone and one other. What is that about!? Cute place with a casual feel and a very artsy and diverse crowd. I felt very much at home and very comfortable. So, don' t neglect either sister. No Bar for the classier version and Bar One for the dive. Or just visit both in one night. Either way, there are two great "sisters" in NoHo.

Love No Bar, such a chill little happy spot. The jukebox is awesome. Definitely come here if you want to relax and catch up with a friend. Doesn't get to loud to the point you have to scream over music or masses of people.

In an up and coming part of North Hollywood, No Bar was a pleasant surprise. Doesn't open until 6pm but if you're looking for a late happy hour (6-9pm), here it is. Not sure why this is listed as a Dive Bar because it's far from it. Beautifully designed, dimly lit and a great, diverse crowd, I'll go back again when I'm in town. The bartender Melanie is well versed and knowledgeable about the area. If I had to say anything that was a con was that they don't sell any food. But if you ate at another happy hour somewhere else before coming here, then you should be aiight. ;-)

I am a HVAC technician that services and cleans the Appliances at no bar and the manager takes pride and care of his establishment. Never in my life have I seen the most clean and well-maintained Bar. Should be an example on how bars should look. 100% recommend.

Playing pool. Listening to tunes. Happens. $ 2 Tecate during Happy Hour $7 Whiskey Sour on the regular I usually like dirty bars. Never satisfying.

I was impressed with No Bar. It's a nice clean Dive bar. Very dark and cool decor. They have 1 pool table and a cool jukebox. The happy hour is 7-10pm 2 for 1 drinks 7 days a week! Which is so awesome.. I will be back! Cons 1 restroom Hard to find parking

I've gone to this joint every night after a comedy show I used to perform in at a local theater. It's a great spot to hang with friends and meet new people. There's plenty to do! Happy Hour has some sweet deals for those of you who like sharing. The pool table is always fun. The jukebox is just the best feature. The couches and seating areas are fun to lounge around in. If you're a smoker, you'll always find people hanging around outside. For being a bar in such a humble location, I have to say that this place is poppin'! This is a bar that I've met many beautiful girls in as well. *WINK WINK* I'm not the type to pick up girls in a bar but hey! I've had a lot of good times at this spot. The environment is fresh and memorable. The bouncers are cool. It's okay to pregame a little before you visit. I always do! Double thumbs up!

I just moved to Noho from Boston. My expectations were on par with that. I was Caught VERY off guard when I ordered 4 captain and cokes and my bill was 75 dollars. Um? I've clubbed in Vegas and NYC and I was charged nothing close to that per drink (divide by 4). The bartender says that's the price for a drink in a pint glass. Fair enough -- you just won't ever see me again. I'm fine for paying top dollar a drink just not in a bottom dollar bar with people falling asleep at the counter top.

It's pretty classy, a good spot for locals, and the specials are pretty good. Great for a low key evening.

Guys. I'm shocked to see No Bar with such poor reviews. It's a dive bar! Looking for something more ? Then take ya bougie asses elsewhere. They do happy hour 7 days a week until 9pm. What more do you need!? Its a Noho gem and I won't let you monsters ruin it. As a matter of fact I'm glad it has poor reviews, it'll deter others from overcrowding this neighborhood goldmine. #keepnobargreat

My man (and all my best friends if I'm being honest) will tell you this is one of my favorite bars. I'm always suggesting we meet up with our friends here. They've got a ton of seating room which is very important to us because when we go out we tend to invite my cousins AND our best friends. There's also something for everyone to do: catch up at the bar, pick songs at the jukebox, play pool, sit by the windows and catch the cool breeze. Also, for the single crowd: great bar for first dates/meet-ups

Nice enough looking place, but $8.50 for a pint of Guinness? Plus tax? In North Hollywood? Get real! Meanwhile, a bat that pays tribute to Ireland's 32 counties charges $6, and has a live band. Not too hard to figure out where to go.

I've gone here in and off for a number of years and over time I've realized it is one of the most comfortable, relaxed and stylish "neighborhood bars" I can think of. They've recently done some slight remodeling touches and it looks great! All the help is cool - friendly but not all up in your business, and there's a very good taco stand across the street many nights. This is a great hang.

No bar is a nice little bar with a pool table and a lounge in the back. It's a very casual place to grab a couple of drinks late at night and catch up with some old friends. They have couches by the lounge area where you can relax. Parking is street parking mostly.

Nice dive bar with friendly bartender (who remembered us even though we've only been twice). Two for one until 9pm nightly? Cannot beat it. They have an internet connected jukebox so we were able to play the new Kendrick, what else can we ask for? I will add that we like to go when the bar is largely empty so everything is always just about as tidy as you'd except and we are never neglected. We'll probably be hanging out here until we're hanging out in a different neighborhood, it's a chill spot.

Great place for happy hour on a Friday night !! Pretty chill, they have a pool table can play your own music on the jukebox !!

Took my fiancé to LA for the first time- we randomly found this place as it was a good time.

I normally don't do reviews on bars or clubs since every night can be different because of promoters and sporting events but figured I would do a review on the local spot. I've been here twice around 11:00 and it wasn't busy either time (Fri and Sun). The place is pretty small with three areas. The main bar room with a jukebox. A side room with a few comfortable sitting areas, and a small room with a pool table. The drinks are cheap compared to Hollywierd, $8-$14 for two drink. However, they only have two beers on tap, that was a bummer. I've been here with my friends and we didn't think much of the place but I do think this would be a cool spot for a date. Would give this place 2.5 stars but Yelp does not use the haaaaaalf system :(.
