Before it became the neighborhood hot spot, bartenders were serving up spirits to off-duty cops at this local haunt. After the Rampart scandal hit, a new group of investors took over, including former Afghan Whigs singer Greg Dulli, and the cop crowd thinned out. Some of the original decor is still intact, including gun lockers and police rings, but now there's a DJ on some nights and a much younger crowd. It's spacious and comfortable, with three separate rooms. Step up to shoot some pool or step down to the dance floor. Just be prepared to elbow your way through the crowd to get a drink at the bar. Silver Lake, Los Feliz and Echo Park hipsters passing themselves off as regular folks, along with a steady invasion of Westsiders trying to pass themselves off as Eastsiders.

Experienced the Short Stop for the first time this week. Excellent spot to have an adult beverage prior to a Dodger game. The bar had $2 draft specials and the tamales they were selling were outstanding. Pool tables in the back room add some variety. 90% of the crowd seemed to be going to the game. Nice spot.

Do not go there and give that place any business! I was there this past Saturday and had a HORRIBLE experience. We were there early at 9pm, before the huge crowd had arrived. The bar was EMPTY. The bartender was SO rude and totally unprovoked. HER LACK OF BASIC MANNERS WAS TRULY SHOCKING. She made us feel really awkward, which is not what you want to feel when you are out trying to have fun and spend your hard earned money. I could understand if the bar was packed, a bartender may be rushed and seem rude, but there was no one there! She turned us off so much that we left. With so many people looking for work these days, I can not support a business that employs bratty people with zero social skills.
