A True Classic is what other classic dive bars would call this capital C Classic Dive Bar. 'A nod of the head, and tip of the cap' would describe your elegant patrons regular approach and graceful departure, as well as it would those late stage wet brain alcoholics that are genuinely trying to outmanever gravity by simply staying vertical long enough to rubber knee it to the tail-end of the storied bar for 'just one more' you know, one for my baby, and one for the road. Last one, I swear! The Cozy comes complete with extra unregulationally short pool tables, heavy-pour well drinks, low lounge-lizard lighting, and one extra-perfect-ly Long shuffleboard table that commands, and gets, its full due respect from all that are brave, and old school cool, enough to mix it up on the sweet sandbox of ostensibly the last remaining original old-timey sandsliders in existence on all of this God's green earth.

Ambiance – to me this is a good spot to start or end the night but not somewhere I’d want to spend a good part of my night hanging out at. This bar is within walking distance from where I live, but when I’m going out in the area I almost always end up at Oldfield’s or somewhere in downtown Culver City instead. Drinks – pretty cheap (I think $6-7 for a well cocktail), pretty generous pours, ok selection of beer. Games – probably the best part of this bar, there’s darts, pool, and a shuffleboard table. Pool occupies one half of the bar and the rest on the other side. The electronic darts board works off and on. Parking – They have a private lot (awesome), and there’s plenty of...
