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.

The Short Stop Heats Up on Thursday Nights
by goserenakim at Citysearch
Last week I went to the Short Stop for the first time and was stoked and surprised to discover good music and a hopping dance floor on a Thursday night. Sick and tired of hearing all that nauseating club music from top 40 radio stations, it was good to hear music aficionados playing rare groove joints and hip-hop that they actually cared about. On top of that, people actually dance here, but it's a mellow vibe. Love the affordable drinks and the divey Echo Park vibe feels very authentic. I'll be going there with all my girlfriends every Thursday to pay homage to DJ O-Dub and Murphy's Law!
- Pros: Live DJs; cheap drinks; cute people
- Cons: Why can't this be every night of the week?

Pre-Dodger game spot
by mark at Citysearch
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.
