Bigfoot Lodge

Pickle Beer, its what you should be getting when you come here. Maybe what added to this experience was when I had parked in the neighborhood behind the bars alley, in walking up the front entrance off of Los Feliz, the Pickle Beer van pulled up at the same time. That just peeked my intrigue right there and then. Plus, how can you not stop by a place named like this. This is the East LA location as they have one located in Venice, CA as well.

Hands down my favorite bar in Los Angeles! Great vibes that remind me of where I’m from (New England) and I always have a good experience here. The staff is friendly and the drinks are strong and cheap. Bluegrass night is on Tuesdays and Trivia is on Wednesdays. I will always hold a special place in my heart for this bar and will keep coming back for good times. Thanks, Bigfoot Lodge!

As far as themed bars go, it’s a fun chill divey like hang without the dive aesthetics and more of genuinely good time. It’s very spacious with fun decor to always find each time you come through. They have an awesome happy hour though I wish some of these drinks had been mixed better. But at $5-6 at the time, why complain? Generally your most likely drinking something carbonated, on the rocks or simply with a mixer. The rest of the fun is up to you.

I want to love the Lodge, but they don’t make it easy. The decor is nice—a pleasant mountain fantasy in the midst of Atwater. But too often, particularly last night, the music is egregiously loud. Which would be fine if it was a jam-packed dive bar, but with the big booth layout here it totally doesn’t work. If you’re the DJ, read the room, man—it’s mostly couples and friends just trying to talk and enjoy some drinks. We weren’t the only group trying to get as far away from the speakers as possible. Unfortunately there was a speaker assaulting us from every which way. Vibe killed and ears aching the next day.

Been coming here for years. I love the ambiance. Happy hour 5 until 8 pm and then they have beer and shot specials all night and specialty cocktails

Absolutely love this place! Great happy hour drink specials…they do live music on Tuesdays from eight to ten, usually bluegrass bands. There isn’t food but it’s a great spot to just grab a casual drink and enjoy the true lodgey vibe. The bartenders are awesome too! Especially love Erin!

FYI No food available. Had a great time on a Tuesday when the live music is Bluegrass, every Tuesday 8pm so I will return ❤️😎 Great atmosphere, good service, lots of seating and I was told you can bring in outside food. And I Love the neon sign❣️
