Great Hole in The Wall Bar !!!

by dt0702 at Citysearch

This place has new owners, the bartenders are cool, Cheap Beer !! , Older and Younger crowd !!! the crowd has legal documents, and the place has flat screens.(with ESPN), It looks like a hole in the wall on the outside, but its a nice friendly neighborhood bar !! It use to be called Squiggys and has the old sign out front. There are live bands on the weekends, and karioke on during the week. I have been going there for about a year now and NEVER BEEN KICKED OUT !!!!! just remember to tip the bartenders because they are cool people. even some of the local bikers hang out there !!! Ask for Chrissy the daytime bartender (The coolest) telll her Dave sent ya !!! Later and have a great time and drink one on me !!

• Pros: Nice Cool Bartenders !! Cheap Beer !!
• Cons: Its a Hole In the Wall (Trying to Shake the Image)

Danger Will Robinson

Shifty's is not the place to take your mom, your date or your kids. It is the place to take your life in your own hands. Things can get crazy here. Girls will hit each other over the head with beer bottles. Guys will kick ass for just looking their bike the wrong way. This is the kind of biker bar Hollywood makes millions of dollars parodying, only Pee Wee Herman could never redeem himself with the "Tequila" dance here.

If you go early and make friends with the bartender, he might be nice enough to warn you of impending danger later on. In any event, he is a good friend to have.

I don't know if this is still true, but there used to be two happy hours daily -- one from 3-5pm and one from 3-5am.

• Pros: a crazy experience
• Cons: can be dangerous
