The Redwood Bar & Grill

Nice little club for alternative music. Friend had some trouble getting her food order in a timely manner but there was enough to feed two people when it finally arrived. It's cramped with not a lot of seating so it's a bit hard to get a view of the performers without switching up your location throughout the night. Interesting nautical theme decor. $10 admission was a bargain night out for three bands.

They always have live bands playing. This alone is a must visit to check out the local talent. The music genre is always different. You could get cumbias one night and rock on another, but that makes it even more awesome! Drinks are inexpensive and strong, and for it being a dive bar, the food is actually quite good. I always have a blast when I've come here and so have the people I've invited.

Staff was very nice. Bar Tender was not the best at socializing but the food runner did a great job by remaking the salad for us. He was extremely nice. Drinks were a bit expensive and the tequila options were not the best. The Food was very delicious! The lady enjoyed the pasta and I enjoyed the blacked chicken salad. I suggest a happy hour so more people can come and get drunk and buy food.

I visited this place while visiting town. Awesome bar with live music. I really like the theme and how dark it is. Nice place to have a few beers with music in the background. Food is okay I guess. My burger was good and fresh and the fried calamari not so much, it didn’t have a flavor and the sauce that came with it wasn’t very tasty. I have to say the bartender was super nice. Check out her crystal business. I got two of her beautiful crystal skulls.

You wonder why I rate this 4 stars for all categories, but only give it 3 stars overall? Let me explain. I dined here on a Thursday night in November of 2023. Everything was fine, hence the 4 star rating across the board. Now to sidestep and explain why three stars overall, and why I won't return to this establishment. I wake every night, sleeping more than 4 hours straight is something that never happens for me. That night I woke about 2 am and relaxed in my hotel room. Before going back to bed, I thought I'd check my phone for messages/e-mails. I was surprised to see a text from my bank informing me that my credit card had been used to get a hotel room in Alabama. Really? I'm in LA, what the heck? I immediately called the bank and had the card cancelled. It turns out that someone tried to use the card SIX more times at the same hotel to get a room. The only place I used my card on Thursday was here, for dinner. I recall that when I paid my bill (I sat at the bar), the bartender disappeared around a corner to run the card. I don't know for a fact that my card was compromised at this place, but this couldn't have been a coincidence. At least in my mind. So, I'll not return, no matter how good the food is, or how good the band is.

The coolest bar I've visited in a minute. Vibes are immaculate. Drinks are strong and cheap. Pirates welcome. Drink up me hearties, yo ho.

Saw a show here. The drinks were really good. The show sounded good so the sound person did a good job. The atmosphere was really cool! I had veggie tacos they used a veggie patty in them, which was not very good. I think it would’ve been better with tofu crumbles or even beans. Overall it was a very fun time.

My band was at The Redwood Bar & Grill for "International Pop Overthrow". I really liked the cozy, fun atmosphere and the Redwood's menu was a cut above the usual. All around, I've gotta give 'em 5-stars. They're a fun night in Downtown LA.
