Pogo's — Restaurant in Los Angeles

So, how exactly do you rate a bar? I guess it comes down to friendliness, atmosphere, offerings and service!? Right?

So my son and I went to watch the NFL draft. He had been before..my first time. He told me it was a Riaders bar, I was wearing my Bills Jersey and his Vikings jersey. I was hoping this wouldn't piss off any drunks. We parked in the back, seemed like a decent lot with enough spots. They had an outside patio, didn't notice If it had televisions. Walked into the room, had pool table..maybe 2. I wasn't paying attention. Place had a cool locals vibe. Was kinda busy. Had 3/4 of the bar full, a bunch of t.v.s and Good sound. Didn't have to ask for the draft to be turned on,, it was on.

People didn't bother to say anything or make any comments on our teams jerseys..so that was a breath of relief. Got a couple of normal looks of "who are these guys". But that's normal.

No one came out to serve us, no waitress. They had a bartender working solo, with a manager kinda bigger maybe bouncer type helping out. We gave our order, we didn't order booze, just sodas. ( I'm sober, he is on a diet) later his friend came ordered beer..it was cold. We had some food, I had a club sandwich he had a chicken sandwich. Mine was good. He said his was o.k. Place had a really cool vibe. I think the owner was next to us on a table. He came by to check on us. We watched the draft. I cheered for my team..no one messed with us..that was cool.

Just a great little local spot, that didn't have attitude. I call that a gem. Went to the restroom. It was clean and even had that blue water..that was nice. I noticed the "A" grade on the wall..that was good. I believed it.

I'll come again when the Bills play the Raiders and see...

It's always way over crowded. Theres no limit on how many people they'll let in at a time which is a huge fire hazard. The security is a joke and the bartenders dont know that many drinks. My sister got 86'd for defending herself from being attacked by another regular. The security guards did nothing to stop it. The bathroom is incredibly small and you have to walk through a crowd of impolite people and dart shooters (people playing darts)just to reach a giant bubble on the floor and trip into the girls bathroom while the men's bathroom is right next to the exit (which you can smell as you enter and exit the bar). 2 pool tables on the wall with the seats. You constantly have to move just to allow someone to hit the balls on the table or risk getting a cue to the face. Not worth the time to go again - have them 3 chances and hated...
