The Trap

  I tried to get in the other day and when I couldn't find it I called the number. The bartender was so rude that I almost didn't go, but even after he told me point blank not to come and that the place didn't want me there I decided to show up anyway just to piss him off. The place was filled to capacity, but it was pretty easy to get a drink, but there was only one TV to watch the game on! Seriously!? Worst part, they ran out of beer, and asked me to go pick them up a 30 rack to help out!? The only saving grace is the Drinking and Driving (Mario kart) tournament that was going on. I did manage to take 2nd place just behind the owner, and for that I'll give this place two stars.

  If there 6 stars I'd give them 6!  I thought bars like this were only in Austin or Brooklyn and Portland Oregon.  Got there late and sat at the bar next to James Iha (I guess he lives in the neighborhood).  The staff was great but call first because they close sometimes for private events.

  As a dirty Silver Lake hipster (kidding, or am I?), I can say that I really enjoy knowing that I at least enjoyed the Trap's good days. Now it's jumped the shark a bit, catering to an older clientele trying to hang onto their youth. While I can't hate anyone for loving the Trap for it's youthful vigor, I can take a couple stars off my review.
  
  But don't be fooled; I'm just trying to get people to stop going here so it becomes cool again.

  Just won your league championship?  Not a better place to take the team to celebrate than this little hideaway nestled in the valley close to the 101 or the 405.  They say that dementia is not contagious, but ask anyone who has dropped into the Trap if they remember anything that happened from the moment they walked in to the moment they departed.  The answer will nearly always be the same.  
  
  Me:  "What did you do last night?'
  Them:  "Hung at the trap."
  Me:  "So, what happened?"
  Them: "Uhm...uh...er...I guess the usual."
  Me: "D&D or Beer Pong?"
  Them: "Started with that.  Really don't remember much afterwards."
  
  Only drawback is there is always a 30-rack waiting for you, it's just at room temperature.  But there is always a parting gift to be handed out as you leave (and no I don't mean chlamydia...although I'm not ruling that out).  
  
  Granted if my wife ever learns about the Trap, I'll probably have to move in there for good.

  Bad, bad bad. This place is full of dudes and more dudes. Worst of all it seems the hipster Kickball scene likes to hang out here all the time. Also did I mention it only has 1 co-ed bathroom?

  I've been searching for a place where everybody knows my name and this is it. The place is pretty tight. Good alcohol selection and good space for beruit and other drinking games. Ask the owners about D&D (not literal drinking and driving). Great snack selection too.

  Where to begin with this place??? First the parking. THERE ARE NEVER ANY SPOTS!!! Why's that? Cause it's always poppin. The place has great seating, that also double as beds if you get "Trapped" there. Food is great, always cooked just the way you like it. Some nights, you might even walk into "Comedy Night at The Trap." Let me just say, that I now have toned abs from all the laughs that I've had there. Drinks are always stocked, as you can play beer pong, Vietnam War, a new game called Battle Shots, and can't forget the classic D&D. Overall, It's a place i frequent often, and you should too!!
