The 10 Best Bars in Culver City

4. The Blind Barber
The Blind Barber is hard to find because from the front it looks like a place to get a haircut. Once you walk in past the barber shop area and pass through what looks like a utility closet, you enter into a hall way that leads to the hidden bar in the back. The speakeasy vibe is fun, and the bartenders are quick! 10797 Washington Blvd. Culver City, CA 90232; 310-841-6679

3. The Bar at the Culver Hotel
Known as the "Historic Culver Hotel," the upstairs bar/lounge is the place to go on a Saturday night for serious socializing. The bar is small, so talking to others is basically mandatory. The lush 1920s vintage décor makes the lounge very trendy, which attracts a young, hip crowd. The bartenders are theatrical when making drinks, too, as they toss glasses in the air and catch them while mixing your cocktail. You will leave with a great buzz. . 9400 Culver Blvd. Culver City, CA 90232; 310-558-9400

2. Oldfield's Liquor Room
Owned by the same people who own Bigfoot West, (and other great mixology spots), Oldfield's Liquor Room is the local time warp in Los Angeles. The classic cocktails, atmosphere, music and décor effectively capture a late 1950s, early '60s vibe. Get your Mad Men on, and briefly forget who you are. 10899 Venice Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90034; (310) 842-8066

I like the Backstage bar. The rest are too overpriced.

Alcohol is a dead end… destroys brain cells & the morning after.

THANK GOD Rush Street is not on this list. But I agree with Elizabeth- Seventy7 is awful (but Rush Street and Rocco's are worse!).

WTF no Cinema Bar ? Oldest in CC and the bands that play there are the best in town . For shame !

I live in Culver, and this list is pretty-off base. Seventy7 is douchey, crowded, and the bartenders can't make a decent drink to save their lives.  What about The Mandrake?

Never thought Backstage was ever real loud.  Also, they do karaoke Thurs/Fri/Sat and live music Wed (not on weekends), so that's incorrect.

In my expert Culver Cityite opinion, we also have two great sports bars in Rush Street and Rocco's Tavern on Main.  Long/big bars and great service at both.  I think Public School is too new to be on a list like this, they haven't proven themselves yet.  I would pur Ford's on there instead, perfect for a duo getting after work drinks.
