Smallest Bar - nice local scene

by dirkthedaring at Citysearch

This is my little home-away-from home. My girlfriend and I enjoy this bar tremendously. Last night, Dave Coughlin (the Bartender of many years) passed away after a long bout in the hospital. Dave was a no-nonsense guy who upheld this old-fashioned and important landmark. He had a great sense of humor and lit up the place if he was around good friends. He was the main reason we would head out to the Harbor Room - and now that he has passed... well... We would stay after and help him clean the place from time-to-time; play some beach boys and have one last night cap. We are thankful that we took the time to get to know this rare individual. He will be missed terribly.

• Pros: Dave the Bartender, Steve the Bartender and some of the fine locals!
• Cons: Dave the Bartender passed away.

I am a local in Playa del Rey and this is a great place. Lots of local color. Customers are friendly Dave the bartender is a great guy and the drinks are large for the price.

• Pros: Thumbs way up
