What People Are Saying About Good Hurt

Featured Review

The Scene – This novel nightclub is a refreshing addition to the otherwise too-cool or too-divey Westside bar scene, and kitschy enough to make the hot spot/hospital scheme work. Patients walk through the amber-lit entryway and over to the pharmacy bar, complete with a neon Rx sign above it and a row of first-aid kits nailed to the adjacent wall. In the main room, scenesters slack on oddly shaped chaise lounges under funky, amorphous light fixtures, while others shoot pool on one of two tables. Alt-rock bands and sick dance music DJs take the hipster-cratic oath to man the small stage or…

Cool concept/ great service

by Pinkdaisy

I came into Good Hurt on a Saturday night not knowing what to expect. I’ve lived in Culver City for two years, always drove by this place but never cared to stop in. One of my friend’s band was performing here and we came to support. I actually enjoyed myself! The music gets pretty loud so it was smart of them to have an earplug dispenser. Apparently all the bartenders wear black nurse outfits as their uniform. You would think the whole nurse concept would be played out but it was actually super cute and tastefully done. The girl that was our bartender was awesome!! She made the drinks strong and was very sweet. They have two pool tables that kept us entertained until your friends played. Only have vodka, tequila, beer and wine for their alcohol selection (GREAT beer selection though). I had a lot of fun here. Chill vibe, great staff and cool concept. I’ll definitely come back when I get another chance. I recommend this place to anyone who loves live music and hot bartenders.

  • Pros: good looking and adorable bartenders, good music, good crowd
  • Cons: not a full bar

Great Bar

by Agent47

Went on a Saturday night and had a lot of fun. There were a lot of hot girls and the live bands rocked. This is my new hangout and I've introduced some friends to the place who all really liked it as well. Great vibe and friendly staff.

  • Pros: bar tenders in nurse outfits
  • Cons: cover charge

Good Local Bar

by morepepper

I don't know about it being a nightclub or hot spot, but I'm a local and I end up there fairly often and always enjoy myself. There's nearly always live music (some good, some not so) and the bartenders are nice.

The music can get a little loud, but this bar has a little earplug dispenser which is amazing and I love them for it.

Beer/Wine/Tequila/Vodka only, but that works for me.

Pool tables and a dance floor, booths and the bar... the set up is nice and the crowd is varied. No complaints from me.

  • Pros: bartenders, value, earplugs!
  • Cons: sometimes the music is not so great actually
