    There's something about Backstage, which has stood directly across from Sony Studios for 70+ years- that begs for hell-raising. Try a 'Culver City Slut' or a 'Blowjob' (both drinks!) or sing Karaoke! Read more

    Best karaoke crowd in LA without question. Never pretentious and always a good time! Go Thursday night for the best of the best. Friday and Saturday the crowd changes a bit but still fun.

    I've been a customer for over 5 years. I've taken friends and family here I've also become friends with the staff. However, the owner of this establishment is absolutely unfair. No go ever!

    No one has mentioned the nachos. The best in the area. Maybe the best anywhere!!! Chicken, beef, or veggie. Must have!!!

    Across the street from Sony Studios, and featuring its fair share of famous clientele, the bar boasts a casual interior and a laid-back vibe. It also features 130,000 songs in its growing catalog. Read more

    During Happy Hour, all you need to tell the waitress is "Buffalo wings, nachos, and (beer of choice)."

    Also the place has very unfriendly servers who think they can all sing. With that being said the Veteran bar staff is the best on the Westside.

    Karaoke singers that don't drive before 10:30 will not have a chance to sing. So go elsewhere on Thursday Friday and Saturday.
