I come here during the day to play pool alone - practice my game without feeling like a complete fool. :) $5 draft and $3 domestic can beer from noon to 7p. Plus jukebox with an incredibly variety of musical genres. Just played Caifanes and Big Sean back to back ;)
Thank you for quality service and having a pool table available. God bless you with the Holy Spirit. 🌹🩷

A relaxed place to chill. No to the jello shots, because they aren't made in-house, but otherwise a great place to play pool and socialize w/friends.
It’s a good bar I highly recommend it. The bar tender and the owner really made me feel at home . The beer and drinks were at good price and the people drink here were really cool.
Stopped by for a drink. The Brazilian bartender was very professional and hospitable. They have a pool table too. Nice little hidden gem in Culver City.
The owner is extremely kind and caring. The pool tables are finesse and the decor and vibe of the whole place is on point. Not to mention the Lakers game there while enjoying their honemade wine, is amazing. Iv'e had a blast there and will come back soon!
A great bar to become a regular to. Only beer and wine but at Alteños that's all you need. It's a mexican bar that's frequented by multiple types of people from different walks of life. Bartenders are super nice and bilingual and can make mean micheladas! Definitely a place to go to for a chill awesome time
First of all kind people serving and they ate def attentive. The drinks are for domestic is 3 dollors and 5 for imported so whoever said different shame on them . Def a cool vibe . Had allot of fun. Wish they had food though (besides chips and hotdogs)
Cool little neighborhood dive bar! You can't miss with $7.00 beers and Pool tables. Plus they had the game on! Great great great Jukebox!!!!🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

Dive bar, in a good way. Let your guard down and not worry about pretentious a-holes, come here for a beer. Don't expect much other than a nice bartender or locals to talk to. Sometimes, thats just what you need. Friendly people, just run down but low key.
Great deals on IPA's and doesnt have to be happy hour. $5 IPA Lagunitas all day 12pm-till last call
cheap, good but a couple of ppl have gotten annoying the two times I visited

They don’t serve food. And they have a sound system with a juke box that overrrides whatever game is on. And it’s run down

I was parked in front of this place then they had painters come in and the painters washed all their brushes & equipment & proceed to dump & contaminate the sidewalk, street & my vehicle paint. Approached bartender who was rude & vulgar & refused to give me her name or the owners info & name. I have reported this contamination of city street & my vehicle to The City of Culver City for their Investigation & repair of my vehicle paint & wheels. Avoid this unscrupulous so called business for their clear negligence and pollution violations of City property as well as personal property. I will be testifying on behalf of Culver City against this business to fine them & hold them accountable for damages to my vehicle. 👎💯👎💯👎💯👎💯👎💯👎💯👎
I would give this place zero stars if I could. The wine was terrible and this over sized guy, who seemed to be a regular, was obnoxious. He judged my music taste based on the color of my skin and seemed oblivious that his inference was offensive. Never coming back. If you enjoy loud banda music and weirdos... You've come to the right spot!
Walked out with her way over here with her friends, but I was not open when the world get off Google go home get the out of here
I thought this place was close I drove by but I never went in so I don't know why they asked me to rate it I thought it was close like 2 years ago so if it is open somebody let me know
