Editorial Review for O'Hara's – by Dianne Molina
The Scene
Think "St. Elmo's Fire" meets the college years of "Beverly Hills 90210." Nestled in the heart of Westwood Village, the movie premiere capital of the world, Maloney's has been catering to the city's collegiate set since 1994. This beloved UCLA rite-of-passage has a classic yet relaxed ambience with dim lighting, a gleaming oak bar and cozy enclaves that are perfect for creating impromptu dance floors. The mahogany walls are decorated with endless black-and-white movie-star glam shots while television sets are peppered throughout the bar so you can catch the latest games, sitcoms, music videos.
The Draw
College coeds and recent grads chug beer alongside Westside professionals looking to let loose like only a college bar would allow. Expect a wait to get in on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, particularly just before or after finals.

Hollywood Close EncountersMovie premieres across the street from Maloney's at the famous Fox Theatre make driving in Westwood a nightmare--and you can forget about parking.

This bar charged me TWICE as much as my tab after I had left. I found out when I checked my online statement the next day. Scammers...
Pros: Hot bartender
Cons: she's a scam artist

First of all, it's called Maloney's. Second of all, it's not that great. Unless you're a UCLA student, then it's awesome cause you know EVERYONE in there, but it still isn't that great. Think very dark, very crowded (like, I've waited over an hour before...not worth it) and very college. If you're not a UCLA student or a friend of a UCLA student, you pretty much have no reason to be here unless you're a creepy older person trying to score a young date. Anyways, the bottom line is, if there IS a line, don't wait in it, cause you're still just going to be standing around waiting once you get inside. Just go to Brewco at that point. The only time I like going to Maloney's is early on a Tuesday night. You can start out with 50 cent pints around the block at Seppi's subs, then when those run out, hustle over to Maloney's while there's still no wait. Then you have the freedom to snag a table with your friends, grab a $4 Tuesday Special Liter Beer, and hang out till the throngs start rushing in. Then you can leave before it gets too awful. Great!
Pros: Cheap Liters on Tuesdays, Good for UCLA students
Cons: Gets way too crowded, can be a little over-college-y, loud, pay parking
