Beacon Cocktail Lounge

My my brother at the Embassy Suites at the airport, the bar was closed at 11pm.  Drove around and saw the Beacon.  We knew it was for us when we saw one of the patrons chasing their pool ball into the street.  Very friendly crowd, got lots of offers to play pool.  Old school hippy bartender.

Not sure I would go out of my way to come here, but definitely a good choice around LAX.

You want a dive bar?
You got it.
Nice clean 50¢ pool tables.
Past two times I've been there it has been very chill.
It's also very clean.
Good price on cocktails and right down the street from me.

While waiting on a repair shop to finish up on a bike we stumbled into this place to kill 30 min or so.  Now let me preface this by saying I am a dive bar nut and frequent them often - That being said this place gave me the heebie jeebies.  No teeth in most of the patrons, it smelled the way they looked and the bathroom was dripping down the walls and all over the floor with errrrr...who knows what.  Not my kind of dive bar...Note to reader i went in the middle of the day so that might explain the ghoulish day drinkers
