Gabe’s Bar and Grill

One of the best Steeler’s bar in Los Angeles. There were others in the area as well, but this was the closest to me and highly recommended.
The bar is tight, not much moving space once it is packed and seating is limited. So arrive early for special games. It was fun experience to watch the playoffs here. The service from the waitress was fantastic very prompt and trust us enough not to hold are cards/​cash while bringing out drinks.
They only have bar snacks here for purchase, You can bring outside food or order from the food truck out front, which was steel city sandwich truck (next review).
So, if you’re a steelers fan this bar is for you or if you’re a USC fan. Haha

I moved to LA on Wednesday. Today is Sunday. I’m a huge Steeler fan. I’ve only been in LA for 4 days, but I immediately felt at home here. Everyone was super nice. I met some cool people. It was loud, roudy and fun. High fives, cheers, etc. In one word: STEELERS.

I came here for the first time this weekend to catch the Steelers playoff game. Now I regret the last 18 years I’ve spent here in LA within reach of this gem! What was I waiting for?
Oh yeah, it’s a dive. You hear that over and over about this place. Well, guess what. The place was packed and everybody had a good time. There was no pushing or shoving. No fights. The bathroom was clean. And the girl/​guy ratio was surprisingly close to ⁵⁰⁄₅₀.
All that and Amy was the BEST server. She was friendly, humorous, always had a smile on her face, and somehow got the job done quickly and efficiently while weaving her way through a completely packed house. I never had an empty drink.
There is no kitchen, but I hear the Steel City Food Truck usually parks out front during the Steelers games. And, if it’s not there like it wasn’t this weekend, Hamburger Habit is right around the corner and they let you bring it in.
In a nutshell, this place is a must for any Steelers fan living on the west side during football season. Don’t be scared away by the «dive» label. We’ll be back next week!

Love this neighborhood bar. come here on Sundays for steelers games and it’s always a great time. There’s a great food truck serving authentic pburg food. They’ve also got pool tables with free pool on sunday nighrs and karaōke during the week. Great bar!

Awesome bar for a Steelers fan! It’s a dive bar and the staff and patrons make you feel like you are in a bar back in the Burgh. Outside the bar was the Steel city food truck that offered delicious Pittsburgh food. Of course they offer Steelers food specials. Place your order and they deliver to you in the bar. Awesome sauce !!! Going back for every steelers game. Here we go steelers! Here we go!

I love Gabe’s Bar and Grill. Though unfortunately, the «grill» element may no longer be a factor. Yet, the assortment of snacks for sale, along with the strip mall next door, one can easily mollify their drunken munchies.
Gabe’s has 2 pool tables, 3 nights of karaōke, tons of TVs, the strongest mixed drinks, and the absolute friendliest bartenders in West LA.
However, if you are not a Steelers fan, I do not recommend coming on a game day, as your team will be placed on one of the smaller TVs.
It took me a while to write a review for Gabe’s, as I never wanted to reveal this diamond in the rough, but as you get to know the local characters, rounds will be shared and friends will be made. With this camaraderie and being one of the best bars around, Gabe’s is a true 5-​star.

Bill. He’s the guy that makes this awesome. We ordered one beer and he knew our entire group’s name. Food for free and good ambiance with cheap beers. This is a win.

Awesome hole in the wall bar. You will be ecstatic you found it. If you ever wanted a lowkey place to watch sports, bring your own food, have great bartenders, and reasonably priced drinks then this is your spot!

Chill spot! I love the rowdy and outgoing crowd in here lol always a crazy time. Cheap drinks and great to watch sports with all the tv’s they have.

5 star dive bar! Place is great. Friendly neighborhood joint. They had free Nachos and Hot dogs for the college national championship game. I would only give it 4 stars as they are a steeler bar and i am a browns fan but i am going back for sure. Funny locals, dive bar i remember growing up with.

Only been to this place twice so far, but both times there has been free food for the patrons! friendly staff, cheap drinks, and plenty of tvs. my kind of place.

I love Gabes and I’m a regular patron there on karaōke nights. My wife and I always bring our friends there, and we can count on getting seats, low prices on excellent drinks, great service from Amy and Mike, a short line for karaōke, and open pool tables. Yes it’s a dive, with an older crowd usually, all part of it’s charm. If you want this place to be fun, you’ve got to bring the spirit, dance a bit, and sing some good songs. Most of the locals there are nice and very mellow. I’d recommend going on Friday nights, when Marcus is hosting karaōke, as he is very professional and helpful. The Saturday night host of karaōke is okay, but can come off a bit unfriendly and akward. So if you want to have the most fun at Gabes, come on Fridays. See you there!

Gabe’s is an unpretentious dive bar that is never too crowded (even on Saturday nights). If you’re looking to shoot pool without a long wait, drink readily available domestic beers or strongly poured cocktails at reasonable prices, or sing karaōke in front of a sparse but appreciative bar crowd, then this is the place for you.

This is our football season spot! I can’t believe I hadn’t reviewed it yet, but usually I get so busy w/​fantasy football and recovering after being here that it probably just slipped my mind.
AMBIANCE: It is a sports bar. It also a Steelers bar. (I mention this because you shouldn’t go if you’re not a Steelers fan during the time Pittsburgh is playing; you won’t get to watch your team then). There are a couple of pool tables to play on whiel there aren’t sports on and its definitely divey. But I know that going in and so I enjoy it while I’m there. They have a juke box for music while the games are not on w/​sound. I’d add that I’ve never gone when there wasn’t a sports event on…
FOOD: They USED TO have food available at cash-​only payment. They were decent bar choices (burgers, chicken and fries, etc.) and nothing tow rite home about. Apparently, it is no longer open for food and you can BYO food? I heard there is a food truck that comes during Steelers games, but I have yet to return during that time to experience who/​which one/​what type of food.
BAR: No beers on tap, but plenty of beer choices. Full bar and decent prices for the liquor. I might also add they give ya a strong pour.
SERVICE: Nice guys (also a girl occasionally) on staff. They recognized us this football season after we hadn’t been around since January.
Bottom Line — Toby Keith’s «I love this bar» comes to mind…

Always fun and casual, loud and busy!!!

Was visiting town with my girlfriend and decided to give this one a shot. We were originally thinking of only stopping here for a minute, but the place was perfect for what we wanted! Pool tables, cheap drinks, and awesome Live Karaōke!
We ended up staying here the entire night and had a fantastic time along with meeting a few cool locals. The Karaōke host was really friendly as well. I would definitely recommend stopping here!

No review can hold up to the outstanding time warp that is Gabe’s. And not just a time warp but a total geographical transport. Upon entering Gabe’s, you hear the magical WHOOSH as you enter the door frame. A dive bar for sure. But not just any dive bar, a dive bar in the heart of Nebraska in 1992 with the best Louisiana cook you’ve ever met. Food is amazing. Leave the cocktails and order a beer. The staff is friendly and the regulars will make you feel at home. But like in a crazy way. Like you actually went home. And left LA. 20 years ago.

Gabe’s is your typical dive bar. It has dart boards, karaōke, and a pool table. We went on a Saturday night and it was barely packed. Well, for 15 minutes there walked in a crowd of 6 or so deep, but besides that, it was fairly empty. Not itching to come back here but wouldn’t be too disappointed if I found myself here one evening.

Total dive. No taps, just bottled beer, but plenty of TVs, decent selection of alcohol, selection of regulars.
Expect a dive, expect nothing more, and its quite decent.

Dive bar with a capital «D,» but, oh so fun and totally sports oriented. Nine TV’s! Lots of regulars and visitors, who all get along VERY well.
Cocktail drinkers… this is your place. Good pours; VERY fair prices. Beer drinkers… there is an array of beer bottles to choose from, but there are no tappers [except for the Jagermeister! (LOL)].
Two pool tables that are always busy. I don’t participate, but they have regular Karaōke nights, Fri. and Sat.
Bartender Amy is a sweetheart. She’s from IL and her Midwest mindset and attitude is a plus in the L.A. jungle.
When you’re in WLA and near the Santa Monica Airport, this place is a no brainer to check out if you’re whistle needs wetting!
