Sewage on Bathroom Floor

by nickcage at Citysearch

I would not recommend this place. The bathroom floor was soaking wet like the toilet had overflowed. I alerted the bartender and he said that sometimes the toilet overflows if people try to flush too much toilet paper. He didn't make an effort to have anyone go clean it. He just expected customers to live with sewage on the floor with an "it happens" attitude.

The place seems to be having trouble with cleanliness all around. My beer mug came with some sort of food (i think) caked onto it. I'm glad I didn't order any food. With dirty dishes and sewage in the bathroom, I can only imagine what would happen if I ate there.

• Cons: Sewage, Dirty Dishes

Terrible, Just Terrible

by htru02 at Citysearch

I have gone to this place a few times and each time has been worse than the last. First of all it is always like 80 degrees inside, which makes it uncomfortable from the start. I don't know if it because I go later at night or what, but the service is terrible, no one ever comes by to take your order or to even say hi, and this has happened at least twice. I would avoid this place when possible, like always.

• Pros: It has beer and spirits
• Cons: You never get served

Fun Local Bar

by jlishuz at Citysearch

Okay, let me break it down. The Tavern, aka The Tavvy to those who frequent it often, is one of the few remaining true local bars in Los Angeles. If you are hoping to see Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie (with or without dinner plate sunglasses), Lindsey Lohan or any other member of young Hollywood and their respective rodent-esque dogs, this isnt the place for you.

If you are looking for a fun bar where you can be served by a friendly staff (where saying B- equates to your entire group having 16oz Bud Lights in front of them in two minutes), have multiple drinks without having to take on a second mortgage, a place where you can get fat kid food for cheap, and park easily for free, the Tavern is your spot. Also, the Tavern has an eclectic mix of old and young. Depending on when you go, if you go at the heart of happy hour, you could be sharing the bar with overweight, middle aged, white men, but thats the cost of doing business since you are in heart of Aerospace/Chevron country.

I would highly recommend The Tavern on Main. You cant go wrong.
