Came here on a Monday night. It's a cool dive bar. There is a dancefloor and a DJ. It's happening but not too crowded that it's hard to get a drink. They also have a pool table, arcade games, and…

This place is at the top of my sh*t list. If you want to wait 15 minutes to order one $8 stella, and then have some USC jock try to f*ck you then look no further. That's all I need to say.

Word has it that this spot used to be a old cop (possibly rampart) hangout. Eek! HOWEVER I give 2 thumbs up and 5 stars when it comes to the music. The DJ for the most part plays a variety of music,…

The crowd is mixed and the music is banging. Drinks are so-so (not stong enough nor cheap enough), but there is a cool dance floor that always gets filled up. There's nothing worse than a dance floor…

I skimmed through these reviews, and I was completely aghast. First off, when I was told we were going to go to a "dive bar" I expected, well, a dirty dive bar. The Short Stop is NOT a dive bar. The…

They have an old school photobooth and $1.50 Pabst before Dodgers games. What's not to like about that? I've been here once in the evening, but every other time has been before or after the ball game.…

So I'm confused. I was told Short Stop was a brothel of hipsters, scenesters, and all those pretentious LA elite (or thos who think they are the "cool" ones). To my dismay however it lacked these…

For a dive bar in the east side, um, where are all the east siders? All I saw were bro's and ho's. Either Barney's Beanery was packed that Thursday night and reached maximum Greek capacity, or I just…

Hipster Haven. Nice dive with a cool ambiance but cramped space. There's a dance floor but I don't see the point of it. Stand and talk. It's a bar, not a club.
