The Cinema Bar — Restaurant in Culver City

Great intamate setting to see a good band. Perfact for jazz, contry or folk rock to light rock or even Rockabilly. Wouldn't want to see something too loud in there as the room n stage are a but small and the accustics won't handle it. Ive seen some good rock n roll n alternative bands there and it was fine. There's a country guitar player who showed up with various bands there. I don't know his name but they guy smokes n I drop in there every once in a while just to see if he's on stage. Even if he's not I haven't been disappointed so far. Nice friendly crowd n the bartenders are cool. (polite to me n I don't even drink alchahol ). Great covered open air patteo for us smokers. Close to the freeway n easy to find. Perfect little neighborhood watering hole with good live music. Don't find that often...

What a rad place! Cozy little dive bar with a stage for the jams! They also have a sick juke box. Drinks were bomb with a plentiful selection! I will say, the bartender Rod, was quite the D-Bag. I was hired to take photos of a band, and he HATED every second of it. And even told me to my face that I was "sticking the camera in people's faces and being annoying". I can understand to some extent, but no one was annoyed but him. And that wasn't the only remark he made that evening. He also kept complaining about the band and the music being too loud, bass being too high - etc. He is single handedly the reason I won't be back. It's sad too, because it's such a cool place! Perhaps it was just my experience. I'm sure it's a wonderful time outside of what I...

This is such a nice place. The bands are always play good music. The bartenders are always friendly. The male bartender with the beard was schooling everyone on how to drink bourbon and other liquors; he was quite a character. very friendly and east going type of guy. It's my go to for a nice quick drink and chat with locals. This bar isn't for the quiet ones that like to sit and have a nice chat.

There is a back portion of the bar which I never been to. It didn't quite catch my interest because the music is inside not outside. So my opinion on the back isn't as good as the front.

The restroom is quite small for the men. The toilet is literally a foot away from the urinal. But only one dude can fit inside at a time. So privacy isn't an issue. Soap...
