    Pat's is what it is. 60 feet of bar top and 3 pool tables..  And that's what is great about it. This isn't a Friday's.. there will be no smiling college server named Brad offering you a frosty adult beverage.  To the people putting this place down, pull the stick out of your behind and drink with the regular folk.  Pat's is a BAR, a real BAR...  My friends and I go for two reasons... a round of drinks for 6 will run ya $30 and cheap pool tables....  I love Pat's

    Came here a few times to shoot pool during the day.  The bartenders were really nice, but the customers and other visitors were a total nightmare.  One creepy ex-con looking dude with no awareness of personal space repeatedly interrupted my pool game to make worthless small talk, all leading up to wanting to borrow my cell phone.  When I declined, he immediately left the bar in search of the next sucker, apparently.

    Meanwhile, a roadie was setting up gear for live karaoke.  Right next to our pool table, game in progress, and his gear was increasingly encroaching on the table.  First he moves the hockey arcade game so that it's between two pool tables and in our way for some of the shots, so we moved it a little further.  Then he parked his dolly with gear on it right up against the table.  Getting sick of this sh*t, we wrapped up our game and moved on to the next table over, away from the band area.  And he then starts parking his gear next to that one!  The pool tables weren't even level and we were disgusted with dealing with these creeps so we just bailed at that point.

    The jukebox is also a nightmare to deal with.  Never coming back.

    I'm a pool shooter and went here for some tournaments.  Unfortunately, the person running these tournaments doesn't know what she is doing. Or alternatively she does know what she is doing, which means she would not be very scrupulous. I would prefer to believe the previous.

    This tournament is double elimination. This tournament operator has no board and has you randomly draw numbers for your position. However, she then turns around and makes brackets up the way she wants (in her head). Some might say this benefits her friends. Then she randomly mixes up the winners bracket and loser bracket. Again, some people might claim that this benefits her friends. Next, they have people that have already played several matches, playing someone that has only played one match. This is incorrect. either you have a board that shows there are byes or people in the same round of the tournament have played the same number of games. There were no byes. Also, if you have a winners bracket and a loser bracket, the winner of the winner's bracket plays for 1st place against the winner of the loser's bracket.

    When I let them know that the tournament is being run unfairly, she said "Why don't you run it from now on." or "We'll run it the way we want to run it.". Really? You would want to run the tournament the way you want to run it instead of the fair and proper way?

    This is a buyer beware tournament.  

    Pat's lost many customers because of the person running their tournaments.

    Went there for my Birthday because I wanted just a casual place to hang with friends, play some pool and watch the Kings game. I hadn't been to Pat's in about a decade, so I wasn't sure how much different it might be. They cleaned it up a bunch since then, and I have to say they went all out for my silly old Birthday. First round was on the house, then gave me a ton of quarters for the pool table (which mind you was only $.50 a game) and also got me a cake. Yeah, a cake.

    The bartenders were awesome and poured a pretty good Ketel One & Cran. It was Kings playoff time, so there were a lot of Kings fans there. Every time the Kings scored, a FREE shot was handed out to all who wanted one. Made friends pretty quickly with those around us and it seemed like everyone was having a good time.

    I went in with very little expectations other than to hang out with some of my friends. I walked away having had a really great night! I live right down the street from Pat's and can't believe I haven't gone more often.

    Nice little hole in the wall bar. Good people, good service, always feel welcomed.   Great place to catch a sports game. Free food Monday nights =] or you can order pizza to be delivered.  Sweeeeeeet.

    Valley dive bar.  Despite being a resident I was a stranger in a strange land as their were many regulars familiar with the bartenders watching sports.  It seemed like a Cheers bar where one day everybody would know your name and be glad you came.

    Beer selection is decent.  Best feature is the literal hole in the wall that enables you to order Texax BBQ from the adjacent restaurant and wash it down with a beer.

    Ask for water, you get tonic, DON'T ORDER A BLOODY MARY!!! I saw them pour vodka & a pre mix out of fridge, wtf? Bar Rescue come save them!!!! I came here with Erick R because he said it was an L.A. Kings bar.. they did have some things up but I wouldn't call it a kings fan based bar... besides what fans would be able to stand the stink in here.. it was combination smell of vomit + spoiled meat, which is why we only stayed for one small drink and left, even thou they had all the ceiling fans on, you couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the smell. We couldn't' figure out what it was or where it came from it was just gross and made me nauseous.

    I do have to say I like that there was a very mixed crowd in the bar, they had 2 pool tables and if your hungry you can order directly from the bar to the BBQ place next door.

    I also like the fact they give the DD free soft drinks, that's a big plus right there, very cool, but unfortunately the smell will keep me away.. I don't know if it's because there was only less then a dozen people in here so the smell was more noticeable since I've heard this place get crowded on the weekends.. it's hard to say.. for now I'm staying away till I read different that the smell is gone.

    My girlfriend and I went there about 4 times. A couple times we went, we met this guy named Larry I think. He talked with the voice thing he pressed against his neck. He was so cool, really nice guy, who told hilarious stories. Hope to see that guy again next time. Fun place, great food, good bartenders, friendly vibe.

    Well you don't go to a dive bar for the decor or pleasant aroma (it has an odor of yeast, stale beer and puke), but if you want cheap drinks and a good, easy going local crowd, Pat's is your place.
    They have karaoke, pool, juke box and a solid group of regulars.  Service is decent and you don't have to crawl over any hipsters to get your drink.
    Dress up or dress down, nobody cares.  Just go for a drink and maybe some good conversation.

    If you want a good dive bar, you've found it.

    Alcohol isn't the only thing you find at Pat's.

    Love this place. Always helps when the bartenders have a heavy hand.

    First of all... This is the best Bar in the Valley... and even better then the bars in Hollywood... I live on Mullholland so it is 50/50 where I go... The bartenders are the best... What makes it even better is the customers.... If you like watching sports at a bar... This is as good as Buffalo Wild Wings...

    However, I don't get why they don't serve food... This really has never been a problem for me because you could order delivery... Fine with that... But, now they opened a Texas BBQ.. Had a Brisket Sandwich for $12.50... It was so dry you could not eat it... The potato salad was even worse... My God buy your potato salad at Ralph's for $1.99 a lb... It is a 100 times better...

    Complained to the Bartender... She said they have not got their smoker right... Then why are you charging for meals until you get it right... Plus you are way overpriced...

    Check out the prices and the quality of the food at Uncle Andre's BBQ... Not to mention crappy napkins... The bread was bad, potato salad was awful... So I paid 12.50 for 3 oz of meat... Trust me I am not cheap... Love good delis and good Sushi... You want a great burger order the $25.00 burger at Morton's... Worth every penny...

    If I was in a regular Restaurant I would not have paid my bill... But, they collect the money first...

    These guys either don't know what they are doing, or don't care... I don't know what is worse...

    I would have giving 1 star... But, don't want to do that to Pat's... IT IS A GREAT, GREAT BAR... Hey let us still order delivery and I am fine... LOVE YOUR PLACE... Hey I was not the only person to complain at the bar...

    I love your place so much... I would not of even put this on Yelp... But, your Website is down....

    Please don't make us eat there...

    I've lived around the corner from Pat's for almost 2 years. It looked like the kind of shitty local dives I purposely moved to get AWAY from in my hometown. I never trust bars with no windows; I always feel like you could walk in and get wacked like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. "Oh, n-"

    My roommate literally dragged me into this place, and to my great surprise it was actually a very cool little bar. The first and foremost observation is for being such a small place, it has a fucking litany of cute to straight up HOT bartenders. I have jungle fever, and they are 2 for 2 on teeth-grindingly cute black bartender chicks. The one looks like Murtaugh's daughter from "Lethal Weapon," it was ridiculous.

    It is the oddest mix of people in there, too. Last time I was there, no joke, I saw this Sons of Anarchy looking motherfucker that had actual swastiker tattoos on him pleasantly chatting with a black fellow. We were like "How does THIS work?" It's a lot of rock a billy and biker types mingling with 70 year old blues musician and pimp looking black guys, that look like they walked out of a Martin Scorsese movie from the 70s. It looks like a pretty rough and tumble type crowd, but so far everyone's been cool.

    I saw a negative review below saying the bartender chicks were all drunk. I've actually gotten that vibe myself. I know once or twice my roommate, who is a professional drinker, said "I swear these bartender girls are drunk every time I come in." I actually endorse this. It makes them more fun, more flirty, and hell if I'm to pass judgement on someone that can actually drink and get paid for it. As long as they don't mess my bill up, I think it's hysterical and it's A-OK in my book.

    I've never had the food, hell I didn't even know they SERVED food the 5-6 times I've been in there now, but their drink prices are pretty good and they don't skimp on the booze.

    All in all I dig the place a lot. My only complaint is they started having goddamn karaoke. Is there a fucking bar in this city on a Weds night you can just sit and have a drink & bullshit with your buddies, without some horrendous rendition of "Shakin" from Eddie Money blasting at 100 decibels? And why does every small bar have to make their speakers SO loud for karaoke? The place is 500 sq feet, do we need the audio equivalent of a live show from the Van Halen '78 tour? Christ!

    Anyways, yeah. Pat's is a good spot.

    Seems like Pat's has a lot of old reviews...so here goes.  Went there for Sunday football today and had lunch including chicken, pork and roasted moose leg, YUM, potato salad, chips and coleslaw all absolutely FREE!  Love the owner Ray, the other owner Jimmy, Vivian, Bill and the other barback who was there today.  This place is great.  Had lots of giveaways, fun trivia contests and some neat games in the bar.  Had chili too, all on the free lunch menu.  The crowd is tried and true blue collar working class, a little older during the day and younger at night. True there needs to be more girls in here but HEY, I met the love of my life in this bar and never in a million years did I think I would,  You never know but there are diamonds in the rough and Pat's is one of them!

    A fantastic dive bar. Friendly bartenders with heavy pours, a welcoming clientele, and karaoke. I wish I had one just like this close to my house in San Diego, I'd be a regular patron. Definitely worth checking out!!

    Small friendly clean cheap good jukebox sawdust floor

    This is a great dive bar.   The jukebox is awesomely diverse and amazingly up to date.  They have some great drink specials and the servers are fun and friendly.  The pool tables create a great atmosphere.  The age group here is very mixed so everyone can have fun together without it being to hip or too old.  There's plenty of parking in the back and it's a pretty easy to access location.  I feel comfortable here and I dig the sawdust on the floor.  Funsies!

    Who can not love Pat's! I went there to meet some friends of 30 years, and what a great meet up place. Brent, who owns the place is hilarious. He always makes everyone feel welcome. The pool tables are a plenty, as well as the great drink choices that they have there. It has a classic bar vibe that's hard to find these day. Its like the "Cheers" of the neighborhood. The bartenders are great, they definitely make you feel at home, and the decor as I said, is classic bar, which adds to the uniqueness of the place.

    Parking is in the back, or on Laurel, or adjacent street.

    Pat's.... good ole' Pat's...

    First time I came here to get acquainted with the neighborhood, I was welcomed by the manager of the place who gave us the pool table for free, and one of the times that I went the bartendr-ess made the wrong drink for my friend TWICE... and then gladly replaced it with the right drink, and still let us keep the wrong one for... well, to drink, that's the point of this place right?

    Whenever I think of the name, I think of St. Patrick's Day (for obvious reasons). This little place is a good mix of all kinds of messy: young kids trying to save some dough on a drink, groups of older ladies, and general drunks. There's some pool for those who like to still be standing after a few drinks, and a pretty dense jukebox (it's a brand spanking new one now).

    Drinks are ok in price (as far as dive bars go- which goes to say as far as regular bars go, they're dirt cheap), and trust me, if you stay there long enough you'll start to get to know some of the bartenders and their clientle. Hilar.

    I never thought I'd be the "oh, I'll meet you at the bar" type of person, so this is kinda surreal, but:  yeah, I hang out at Pat's Cocktails, and I have a pretty good time.

    What?

    So, there are activities, free pool, all-you-can-drink specials, and the bartenders are really nice (and pretty) girls.  I like Monday nights, as there is live music - and they get really good bands to play.  Occasionally there will be an asshole playing pool (you know, the dude who will literally push someone out of the way to line up his shot), but when he loses, you can laugh at him.

    There's food available, but i haven't had any of it.

    It gets effing crowded on Fridays and Saturdays, obviously.  Come on a Monday, listen to the bands, have a cocktail with me.  Why the hell not?

    Oh oh oh!  I almost forgot:  There are black lights up in the ceiling, so if you order anything with tonic, your drink glows!  It's pretty neat.

    I'm not a huge fan of sports bars, for starters cause I'm not into sports. But this one is OK. It has 2 pool tables and at least on Wednesday night a D.J. was playing background music and a little later the karaoke started. I didn't stick around, though, so I can't say how that went.

    Surprisingly for a week night, it was PACKED. It's too loud to get chatty, but a good place to meet with a group of people to drink and play pool.

    There are only a few who deserve the spotlight of the 200th review, and Grizzly Adams is most-certainly one of those few. Especially who served up free oysters with the owner of Pats. Especially a Grizzly Adams who had his own oyster elixir of tequila, et al!

    As honored as I am to have frequented Pat's... it's an honor to have Pat's as my 200th review. It makes sense Pat's number 200. What a would a 200th review be without:

    *Elbows to pool-table felt
    *Antlers on the wall
    *Folks drinking from pitchers
    *Talk of a Party Bus to a Hockey? Game.

    And the nostalgia of ordering and receiving that reuben in that tiny window.

    Pat's is an example of why I loved living in the Valley. In a place where neighborhoods knew no boundaries... there were neighborhood bars seemingly on every corner. Splashed together are people in the valley, and up crops a bar just as this.

    The concept is simple. The execution is simple, too. Beer. People. More Beer. More People.

    And then add the delightful idea of free oysters. With the bar owner cracking them, and then, yeah, Grizzly Adams pulls up a stool to mix his oyster shooters and hand them out. Grizzly Adams, the guy, from the Disney movie, is still Grizzly, no matter how dusty the VHS movies are on the shelves. He's there... sleeveless and serving up his special concoction of oyster, marinara, lemon and tequila in a shot glass.

    I'd say this is reason enough to just pop your head in to Pat's and see if something like Grizzly Adams, oysters, beer, billiards and my past have something in store for you.

    Yay, good dive bars! I really like this bar. I used to come every single week when i lived closer. Anyway, it's dirt cheap and great atmosphere. The bartenders are beautiful (when I go at least lol) super nice and friendly girls. The crowd's age is anywhere between college kids and 50 something people.

    They have karaoke nights on Wed. They have a dart board! I'm a sucker for playing darts. =) They also have 3 pool tables (too bad i don't know how to play =/ ). It's crazy to think they have all of that in such a small place.

    I would def recommend it to anyone looking for a chill place. =)

    Holy Schnike, when I walked into this bar I thought I was in another state.  This is like the dive of all dives.  I fully expected a naked Arnold Terminator to bust on in and find a drunk saying "I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle."

    But all joking aside, this bar has cheap drinks and cheap eats and cute bartenders.  Kerry's Deli right next door has a window for the bar to order food ranging from 1/2 lb cheeseburgers, tri-tip sandwiches, pulled pork, wings, mozzarella sticks, fries, you name it.  The sandwiches were only $5 each and pretty good!  Definitely unhealthy and their chips and salsa are amazing.  

    Large groups or parties are welcome here too and they're more than accommodating.  Food was mostly on the house!  Yay, I'm a fan.

    But wait... I only gave it 3 stars?  Well, there are a lot of pool tables but dedicated professionals and up and coming amateurs frequent the joint so I can't recommend this place for a fun evening of pool.  On the plus side, there's plenty of flat screens all over if you wanna catch the game.  

    Pat's is A-OK but might be too much of a dive for some.  But come as you are and you might enjoy yourself without breaking the bank.  And they DO take credit cards.

    Fun dive bar to check out if you're looking for cheap drinks and a low key atmosphere. They have great drink specials during football and Lakers games, and a varied beer selection. And they serve their Blue Moon with an orange (the way it should be done!)... which not all dive bars do!

    Kerry's Cafe next door serves up yummy cheap eats. However, $2 personal pizza can be ordered from the bartenders and are clearly cheap quality- but crispy and satisfying for $2! I'm never disappointed by them.  :)

    There's a parking lot around back but it's pretty small so don't bank on it. Tons of street parking though.

    If you go, look for the manager, Cedric. He's a big black guy and he's all-around awesome.   Buy him a jager-bomb, they're his fave.

    While I can't imagine Pat's Lounge as being the main intended destination for an evening, facing the bottom of the line up, in the on deck circle, as a place we may eventually end up or stop by...it's not so bad.

    It's a Valley dive. No bones about it. First time I stopped by I was pretty sure I could score something (maybe most things) if I spoke to the right shady looking character. But once you're there for a minute the image of the place softens a little bit. The pool players there are dedicated players, so if you're a goofy amateur as I am, it may be a better idea to wait for a table rather than try to play the winner. And even then, the players and patrons gruff exterior gives way to a generally friendly demeanor.

    I love a good jukebox. This one is ok, and it makes me get a little creative in coming up with a good playlist for the hard drinking regulars and pool hustlers. The bartender was really cool and dug my jukebox dj-ing skills so she started giving me money to keep the music going. Although I'm pretty sure that she was sweet on my girl and was trying to grease the wheels a bit. Come to think of it, she kept pouring us free drinks so we could "try out new cocktails." hmmm...Maybe next time.

    Solid three star dive. Decent jukebox, good and reasonable drinks, a few good pool tables, attentive, well intentioned bartenders, with a somewhat shady clientele, and really isn't that all we need?

    not such great first impressions, but never judge a bar by its exterior. I really felt a bit out of place wearing my blazer, but it was cold out you know? Inside it is chill and laid back. Lot of guys though, maybe a few short of a sausage fest. I really don't think this bar is going for a singles scene though.

    I went cuz I heard it had 3 pool tables, which is probably one of the more awesome features of the bar. Drinks are cheap too! And strong! They have Sammy Winter Lager on tap! WOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Great for a fun cheap night out. My friends and I definitely had some fun, but had to wait quite a while to get on a pool table. SOme of the pool players there are very serious I must say. Perhaps a little too serious.

    Overall I recommend this place, it is good, but nothing special. NO complaints, but nothing amazing to report either. A safe bet.

    Random night and some friends were here so I thought I'd check it out.
    I arrive, park in a dark parking lot, and walk up to the entrance where it looks like a crackwhore fight was going to break out. Wow. Great first impression. Always nice to get down to the dirty dirty right? :)

    Chill as heck inside. I was definitely too dressed up for this having come from a previous engagement. Shot some pool, laughed, talked, chilled, and went on my way. A very chill night. This place is good if you're local, like to drink a bit, like to hang, and just want a chill night shooting some pool. Not worth the drive from almost OC for me, but not too shabby for a one night adventure.

    Remember Pat? <a href="http://static.px.yelp.com/photo/k-atVNCBTX9MlB_nztLadQ/l">http://static.px.yelp.co…</a>

    Well, I think I saw Pat last night, but I don't think it was the bar's said namesake. This Pat looked angry, brandished a pool cue, and cursed a blue streak that would shame a sea-worn sailor.

    Other characters worth mentioning: A tall, grey haired gentleman in a three-piece suit who looked like he might make you an offer you couldn't refuse, as well as tall bloke in a "wife beater" who looked like a biker pirate. He'd stroke his scraggly beard and ejaculate non-sensibly in a gurgly croak of a voice.

    But it was Pat brandishing a pool cue and hurling politically incorrect epithets that ultimately cleared the crowd from this small packed bar - and once there was the proper amount of people in the joint, it became rather cozy.

    The bartenders are quick and cheery and even when the bar stools were full up I was able to get a drink. They've got Fat Tire on tap and they fill those mugs over the brim, so that the foam is dripping down the side of the glass. The price is right too at around $4.

    But the real reason we all met there was to shoot some pool. There are three bar boxes that take up 50% of the space. Put your name on the chalk board and get some quarters out of the change machine. But bone up because from what I can see, you could get hustled here without trying too hard. There are a lot of good players, and good players don't come to dives to play on small, quarter driven tables unless they've got dollar signs imprinted on their corneas.  You can also find Tourneys here and they look to pay off very well.

    My main complaint is that there is no real comfortable place to sit. There are lots of stools around and some tiny round tables. If you get bored, there is video gambling at the bar (entertainment only - snoooooze), but the juke box has some nice tunes.

    Here's my tip. If you are going to play or not, carry a pool cue for protection. You will seriously feel safer.

    This is an everymans type of bar. No obvious bouncer, and no door guy checking ID's. Gay, straight, old, young, piratey, mafiosoesque, hustler, street urchin, yooogly, or hot, go on in for a drink. You might have just found your misfit Cheers.

    Ha so much happened tonight. So an obviously way too drunk guy hit on me multiple times through out the night, but I couldn't understand his drunk slurring mumble. 5 minutes later a fight or something happened, well maybe it was already in process but I saw people start to lead some people out of the bar, and then 2 seconds later a lesbian couple go charging at the outside of the bar where the people got escorted out. "These homophobic guys are ... something something something" .

    Conversation between me and my friends resume.

    2 seconds later the fight is brought back into the bar and one of the people blocking the people from punching each other has a cigarette in mouth and using both hands to yield the fighting.

    I didn't get a drink here because a) it was night time.. and b) I told the drunk mumbler when he offered me a drink that I DID IN FACT NOT DRINK, even though I do, but doing that would result in more forced talking from him. Good area, music, tv's, pool, everything a dive should have. When I come back I will HOPEFULLY not talk about fights breaking out!

    Yep!  I'm a fan!

    So last night I had plans to meet up with a friend to shoot pool.  I was trying to think where to go and I remembered that Pat's had three pool tables.  Definitely rare for a dive or any bar for the matter.  

    We arrived a little after 10:30.  The place was full of the people but not too crowded.  Two tables were open but that didn't last too long.  We held our table for about 40 minutes and then a couple put their names on the board.  I noticed they had their own sticks.  Then I noticed that a good handful of other players also had their own sticks.  I guess they mean business! I figured out later that looks can be conceiving! ;-)

    As for the drinks, $3.50 for a draft!!!!  You can't find a cheaper beer on a Friday night!  And ice cold!  Me likey!!!  Then we did some shots of Patron  and Jagermeister.  My stomach no likey this morning.  : (

    As for the crowd, it's mostly older guys.  I didn't care since I was there to shoot pool, but some were a bit creepy at times.  Others were very nice.

    I love the girls behind the bar.  They always served us with big smiles!!

    I wasn't accepting to have such a fun night, but I definitely did!  I will for sure be back!

    My first time in a dive bar out in North Hollywood and I love experiencing new things! I was here with a big group and everyone was hoping for some crazy karaoke night as usually advertised for Saturday nights but it was canceled!! Boo!

    The service was great though, the staff was nice, their drinks were strong, and it was definitely a mix of people.There were pool tables for all you pool lovers and they also have 16 plasma TVs if you really like watching TV. hahaha...

    So at the end of the night, the group ended up having to change venues but it was pretty cool that the owner dropped by to apologize and let Victoria post a sign so everyone knew who to contact where we were going. Thanks to Victoria and Calig for driving around to check out other places and eventually fixing our venue problems! :)

    So I guess Pat's was the gateway into having a pretty fun night. :)

    I just noticed Pat's for the first time two weeks ago. I grew up in the east valley. I think it's just so perfectly appropriate in its location that it has an invisibility quality.
    When you look in the dictionary for "dive bar" I have a feeling Pat's will be the re,staring you back. It's great. Three pool tables, seven flat screens and $4 mixed drinks. What more could you ask for?
    The bartenders are really funny too. My friend couldn't find her ID so the bartender said, 'What's wrong Red Stripe?" It took a second to realize she was talking about the red stripe on CA drivers licenses when you get your DL before you're 21. Of course, my friend is 24 and doesn't have a red stripe anymore, but it was still funny.

    I love Pat's!  No, it's not exactly what you'd describe as hip, trendy or all that clean (kidding!), but, it's fun, mellow and comfortable.  It is a dive bar after all. But, it's not one of those bars that calls itself a dive, charges $15 for a drink and makes you stand in line outside so it appears crowded.  It's a real dive bar.

    With Pat's what you see is what you get.  And what you get is a relaxed bar with a neighborhood vibe.  While it is a dive bar, it's got modern conveniences.   They have a new jukebox and with the diversity of patrons, you get to hear everything from Jay-Z to Metallica to Creedence Clearwater Revival.  They've got a poker machine, pool tables and flat screen TVs if you want to watch sports, news or TMZ.  They even have theme nights like karaoke and a Christmas party, that I missed last year, but  from what I hear was a whole lotta fun!

    The bartenders are great! They are friendly, quick and they impressively almost always remember what drink you last ordered.

    The patrons could be straight out of Cheers.  They are people of all ages and colors. I always meet interesting, quirky and/or funny people every time I'm there.  

    What I like most about Pat's (aside from the cheap, strong drinks), is that I can go there and relax. I don't feel like I have to dress a certain way, do any kind of advanced planning (e.g., guest lists) and I know I'll have a great time - which for me, in L.A. - is a boon.

    The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because by the time I usually get there (around between 8-9pm), the deli next  door is closed and you can't get any real food (other than the frozen mini-pizzas they so graciously serve).

    Suit up, show up!  Go dirty, whiskey swillin' style.

    A dive.  A REAL dive.  If you can appreciate that sort of grimey-fun atmosphere, this is definitely the spot for you.  If you're looking for a ultra modern, crisp clean location with a cool crowd under 25, you're at the wrong bar.  Not that the place is dirty, they keep it pretty clean and stocked full of wicked and weird patrons for your pleasure.  Every night is a new, strange experience.  Try it all out.  Just don't use the cloth towel dispenser in the bathroom... Jesus, that thing is harrowing.

    Most importantly -- The bartenders are fuckin' killer!  They know you're there to drink and they make sure you know that they know.  Treat them well and they'll treat you well...  I love those girls.  

    Big, flat screen TV's.  Bar games.  A brand new Texas Hold 'Em machine.  Pool tables.  Karaoke, seemingly at random, is always worth a laugh.  Not that you need any of that shit with the people that show up.  They're worth the time.

    Cheap stiff drinks, frequent drink/shot specials and good bartenders.  A great way to kick back without wondering who's going to see you.

    Sure if you're looking for a sanitized theme park or hotel looking bar where you can order 37 different themed martinis this is not the place for you!

    This is a bar where real people show up and drink.  Sure some of the clientele can be a bit dodgy, but the bartenders always have any situation well in hand (and make sure you have a drink in yours).  Plenty of pool tables and TVs, their karaoke guy keeps the music playing (only two nights a week {I think}),  the deli next door has a service window to the bar, and their bartenders, well, you could spend days extolling their virtues.

    To be honest with you I kind of miss the puke smell that would waft up from the carpet and how digusting the men's room was (badges of honor for a real dive)...  Alas, they changed the carpet and painted the Men's room.

    Pat's Cocktails! This Place rules!!
    Here's the thing, If you are looking for a little dive with a great vibe, the this is it. I was sad reading the reviews of this place because seriously people if you are looking for the four seasons then go there but don't rip on a dive that's supposed to kinda, well, stink inside.
    This bar provides what many dive bars do not,  Crystal and Misti as bartenders, cheap drinks,theme nights, awesome food, a cool manager, a thankful owner, and really cool people.  The same people are always there and My husband and I love it.
    Also, a big plus is that they have many TVs and when the Dodger's are playing, they give you free peanuts and dodger dogs! Seriously?? This place rocks!!
    look for the on myspace  .. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmyspace.com%2Fpatscocktails&s=c07813379341a056d3ce6a4eac2256806de4fc62dc453395e9d49de40fcd1fe6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://myspace.com/patsc…</a>.....

    Don't believe what you hear!!  Pat's is one of the best places to be on a Monday night in the Valley.  Not only are the bartenders totally down SMOKIN HOT, they are down to earth and won't treat you like the dirty pervert you are.  There is almost always some kind of event going on, Rockabilly night or Naughty School Girl Karaoke, or whatever you could think of.  

    The beers are ICE COLD and the drinks are STIFF.  The shot specials are ridiculous, and everything else is WAY cheaper than any other bar in town.

    You have to be prepared for the abuse the bartenders are going to impose upon your liver.  To make it easier on you, they serve pizza all the way up until 2 in the morning now, and the adjoining deli is open until 9 with all kinda of fried appetizer treats to coat your stomach before you being to drink.

    Most of the customers are regulars, and know each other, but the bartenders are more than excited to introduce you around if you are new.  Most everyone is nice, and just looking for a cool place to hang out.  Tons of TV's with whatever you could want to watch, and tons of people to talk to, if you wanted to be social.  Pat's isn't your Hollywood hotspot, which is what makes it so totally amazing.  You don't have to dress to impress, because really... the girls don't care if you're in high heels, dress shoes, sandals or sneakers... their main goal is to get you happily drunk and call you a cab and send you on your way home at the end of the night.

    If you're not pretentious, and not afraid, you should come down and check it out.
