The Little Rock

Super low end no surprise its closed. All I saw when we went there were iffy girls with how many baby daddies and unemployed cheating husbands. The music was ehh. The staff was ehh. 1 pool table and an empty dance floor. No doubt.

i visited this place with a few of my friends. the service is excellent, the wine was tasty. i am coming back next week. i recommend you to try out this place.

Nice place for weekday happy hour. Mikey is a very funny bartender. Hear this place r

This is an old time favorite. I used to be a regular here about 5 year ago until I moved. I recently returned and was shocked on the remodel better beer selection, much more open and lively able to see from the bar to the dance floor now and seem to have added much more seating! Absolutely love Stacy (bartender) she’s been there for years and always makes sure your taken care of! So hell I figure since my whole crew hasn’t been here since I left this is where I’ll host my bday this year.

God for bid you look a little 420 friendly this spot will not serve you I’m so upset that this is my local watering hole yet it can’t even come through on a Sunday night! The little bitch boy Mikey that works the bar is a douche bag on the control trip! If only I were half as drunk as I’ve been where places really wont serve me that would’ve been one thing but that I’m On Reseda Boulevard in Tarzana is absolutely laughable considering the spot was extremely empty. I’m talking two three people empty but I guess they can afford to turn away customers! Cheers bro being a bigger dick today than you were yesterday

A step up from a dive bar. Came in on saturday night around 10:30. Found seating immediately. Put my name up for the pool table and was called up within a few games. Got bumped a few times while trying to make a shot but it’s to be expected. Took no offense and continued playing. Drink prices are average and maybe I got unlucky but my bartender didn’t have a heavy hand. There’s a dance floor that I didn’t venture to. Most people were friendly. Definitely a diverse crowd. Overall, had a great time and would absolutely go back.

I came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had that not been the reason I was there I would have left in a jiffy.
I approach the nasty little place with my girlfriends and notice there is no bouncer at the door, so we walk in and head towards the back to find the restroom (we had been driving for an hour and all needed to pee really bad)
This is when the psychotic bartender (male, believe he was baldish?) screams out at us to STOP and show him our ID’s. Thefuck?
We were in too good of a mood to get snappy so we laughed it off and gave the guy our ID’s.
After we visited the ladies room we walk back up to the bar and order a couple of beers and the same dude served us. He didn’t say a word, opened our beers and gave us a bill. Um, who said we wanted to close out? The place was empty anyway.
Later on, I walk up and order a club soda and a lime. He gives it to me from the gun, again with no communication, I take a sip say thanks and motion to walk away when he tells me it’ll be $ 2.
What? $ 2 for carbonated water? I’m a bartender, I’ve been to 98 092 827 428 of bars before and this is completely unheard of. I set two 1’s on the bar and walk away.
After joining my girls on the dance floor, I needed to quench my thirst again. My friend takes the empty glass and goes to the bar to get a refill. She is assisted by a female bartender who has now joined Oscar the Grouch behind the bar.
She refills the club soda and my friend walks back to the dance floor. We’re having a good time jamming to 80’s music when she is tapped on the shoulder by guess who? YUP, Mr. I take my job too seriously, He tells her to pay him $ 2 on the spot for the club soda. I jumped in and said I HAD ALREADY PAID FOR A CLUB SODA and this was a refill, she just happened to be the one to go and get it.
He would not budge, would not leave until he got his $ 2. This guy is lucky it was my friends birthday otherwise I wouldn’t have been so nonchalant about the way he treated us from the get go. I will NEVER return to this place and neither will my friends. As a bartender, I know this is no way to treat customers. What a joke.

Went here after work with a co-​worker, the guy bartender was incredible rude and has no customer service skills, he’s quite depressing talking about how he’s from Texas and hates California, hates his job and whining about not having money to leave a place he hates. He overcharged us and also complained when I had said one cuss word, the décor is poor and the overall cleanliness is dirty all around. Not a welcoming environment at all, it’s to bad I can’t vote with negative stars. Save your time and overpriced money for a diff place!

The male bartender was over the top and made it a point to charge us for club soda after consumption of alcohol. First of all I have never been charged for club soda. (carbonated water) So, I agree to pay for the drink and then go to another bartender and she gives me the drinks without any hesitation (free). The same bartender comes to find me on the dance floor and charges me $ 2.00. That was beyond ridiculous. I was in awe as a customer. Disappointed as a returning customer to little rock.

I don’t even know why I am wasting time writing this review, because the business owners clearly don’t give a S*** that what is bursting with the potential of decent décor and awesome location is, in actuality, a disgusting excecution of a «bar.» Perhaps I can rescue some of your well earned time, however, by saving you the trip here.
I came here with some out of town friends because it was within walking distance and WASNT the Sugarmill, which is a sad joke as well. I guess I just need to move because clearly, I’m out of options now.
Security? Really? At a dive bar? Okay, maybe… but 3? Are they kidding? The hipsters in here aren’t starting any trouble, maybe the security is to protect us patrons from the scary bartenders and their unavoidable bitchy-​resting-​faces that greet us when we walk up to get a drink.
And why did I just pay that 5 dollar cover? There are maybe 3 other people in here, the music is nothing even remotely recognizable, and not one member of the staff can be bothered to smile. There is no band.
Yes, I know ordering a glass of red at a seedy bar is not that smart to begin with, but as I’d been drinking red all night, I wasn’t about to switch and risk the hangover. I cringed at the cheapies on the shelf, but asked to taste one of the cabernets. She rolled her eyes, poured the taste, and thank goodness I hadn’t ordered the glass because it was probably a good fortnight old, like vinegar-​status. I kindly informed her that the bottle had turned, aka gone bad (as I’m sure I probably felt inclined to spell it out for her)…and silly ME for assuming she would dispose of it, and then return with a new bottle… I guess I’m giving her too much credit, because she popped the cork back in it and set it on the shelf for some other sucka to order. Nope, not me, no ma’am.
Food was okay, fries not-​so-​much though… and a foundation of everything good is built on the fry.
We had one drink, and couldn’t leave soon enough. Don’t waste your time, I’m sorry I wasted mine. =(

So I guess little rock is a whore house now. Hear me out before you rush to pass judgment. When I say whore, I mean it in the most literal sense of the word. My lady friend and I walked up to the door last night dressed as many people do in the 21^st century. The guy at the door wouldn’t let my friend in because he said, and I’m paraphrasing here, her clothing was too revealing and if we let her in, the cops might think we are allowing a prostitute in here to work. I was flabbergasted! My friend couldn’t even evoke an emotional response b/​c she was in shock. He literally called her a whore and told her she can’t come in. Go to the sugarmill saloon across the street, it’s a better bar anyways. They embrace whores like us there!

Friday karaōke night was fun. Good radio music play in between the karaōke songs. Lots of regulars here. Good crowd. There are a few mic hogs but everyone gets their moment on stage. It gets pretty crowded. No cover but you do get a wristband. Daniel is awesome and the rest of the staff are friendly. I like this spot. I would come back here. Thursday and Saturday is a $ 5 cover. Drinks range from $ 5-​$ 10.

Between the 15 security guards working at any given time and the overpriced drinks, I’m not entirely sure why I’m not giving this 1 star. This is the worst kind of dive… a dive that pretends it isn’t. I suppose if you like overplayed hip hop, you’ll like the music here.
Not sure what else there is to like. I’ll edit this if I ever think of something…
(I won’t)
This place makes me sad because it used to be a such an awesome little dive. I used to walk here with my roommate and get pissed a couple nights a week back in ’02 and ’03. That Little Rock was way better than this one.

I’ve been going to the little rock for years now, I used to be a regular. I absolutely love some of the staff; Nada, Stacey, Mikey, and Steve, they’re always really nice and Stacey and Mike make killer drinks. I MISS THE OLD LITTLE ROCK, i miss the cheesy leopard print couches and the band nights on thursdays. Most of all I miss the diverse crowd. The little rock WAS always my home away from home. But the crowd changed and then for a bit they had these SWAT team looking security dudes that were kind of intimidating. I don’t go as often as I used to but I’m attached haha so I always make sure to stop in every once and awhile.

This is not a «valley type of bar»…if you want that go out on Ventura Blvd and find one of the cute places along the street. This place has an interesting crowd and is just kinda meh overall. Maybe I’ll go again to dance or something, out of convenience… but definitely would not be a first choice.

Worst bar I’ve ever been to.
Horrible experience. Every single person that conducts business here is whack.

This place is filled with very interesting people.
I’m not sure why we decided to come to this bar. Oddly, enough I actually had a pretty good time considering how trashy this bar was. I think what made me incredibly happy was the fact that their Jameson + ginger ale were only $ 6. Am I the only person that finds that outrageous? The bartenders were also really nice and friendly.
They have a pool table, photobooth, dart board, and a dance floor. I don’t think I have to say too much more for people to understand what kind of bar this is. It’s dark, dirty, and grimy but I guess it’s as good as it gets in the Valley. The dance floor is extremely tiny with about 4 small tables. If people actually paid for those tables … Let’s just say I wouldn’t pay for those tables.
I wouldn’t choose to come back here, but the one time that I came here I had a surprisingly good time.

My absolute favorite place to go. Love Love love the drinks and the bartenders. There’s always someone to play pool with and it’s a really cool crowd.

Do NOT come to this place. The rudest management I have ever met. Racist, and rude. I almost called the police after how I was treated. Ugly bar, ugly people that work here. He bounced yelled at me for absolutely no reason and was clearly in a power trip. The manager here is on a power trip and just wants his friends inside and could care less about actual business.
There are plenty of other bars that are waaay better. If you want to frequent a business that doesn’t know how to treat its customers and make you feel like a second class citizen, then this is the place for you. I will never come here again. I am shaking from how upset these people made me. Terrible, just terrible. I wish I could give less than a star, I wish I could give negative stars. 5 NEGATIVE stars.

I came here not knowing what to expect and the first thing I realized was that this place has a very grungy, grimy vibe. The dance floor was pretty small, so it’s pretty packed.
Crowd:
The crowd can be a little rude.
Music:
DJ spins Hip-​Hop, old-​school and Top 40s
Bar:
Very cheap drinks, not like the Hollywood or DTLA bars that charge $ 12+ for one drink.
Cover:
There is no cover on Thursday nights, but there is a cover charge on weekends. This place is definitely not worth paying a cover for.
Parking:
Barely any parking.
