Good neighborhood spot that I hope doesn’t get overcrowded.
Amazing cocktails, the bartenders do a great job serving everyone at the bar. Prices are respectable as well.
The vibe is great and cozy, dimly lit, and good music. It gets more packed after 8pm. We come often and it’s always a solid crowd.
Then here comes the pizza. A sleeper in la for exceptional Neapolitan style with an amazing amount of parm on top. A must have if you love pizza and a top contender for the best on the west side.

Super cool, vibey bar, with beautiful decor, and delicious pizza and cocktails. Rotating seasonal menu pizzas are from a wood fired oven, DJs on the weekend, loungey patio out front, and standing room at the bar for drinks. Popular spot, not a typical sit-down restaurant when busy. But the vibes are jammin’ and is definitely the coolest bar on Main St. Plus the food and drinks didn’t take long once ordered. Will be back!

Food and drinks are really good (although my friend said her whiskey sour was a little to eggy so just head ups). Vibes are good however the sitting system they have can be confusing. We went Sat night, you need 4+ people to get a booth, you can sit at the bar if there are any open spots, wait at the outdoor patio which has very limited tables or accept the standing up options they have. Def more of a casual vibe

Came here after a beach day, as its close to the freeway and open on Monday nights! The decor was gorgeous, with records being played on vintage style speakers and wood paneling throughout. There was plenty of comfortable seating, and the night we were there they used a sit anywhere/order at the bar system. They let us know as soon as we walked in- the staff were so friendly and attentive, with someone replacing our share plates and refreshing our water between dishes. They were doing R&D but we opted for classics: We got wine/beer, a margarita pizza+pepperoni and a tuna tartare. The pizza is wood fired in an oven you can see in the main dining space, and delicious, thin crust, good char and an edge thats not too floury or thick, fresh fresh ingredients and piping hot when brought to the table. The tartare was incredible, so fresh, savory, and umami with a mix of alliums and capers that balanced out the iron flavor that can be overwhelming in tartare. Anyway we loved the spot and will be back

Completely disappointed in the service I experienced this evening during my first visit to Not No Bar. I discovered this bar on ig and was very eager to try it out. I made reservations for 2, hightop seating. Upon my arrival I was seated near the door against a counter. The restaurant wasn’t full so I asked the server if I could be seated at the hightop table behind me. Before I could even finish my sentence the server, some guy (idk, we didn’t make it that far) began to tell he wasn’t sure if he could make that happen in an attempt to manage my expectations. We had a bit of a back and forth that ended with me saying could you just see and let me know. The server goes to speak with the host/bartender. They chat for a bit, I assume trying to help me. The server walks a way and starts tending to other tables. While I wait to see if I can move seats. A party of two women come to the bar, the host ask do you have reservations, they say no. She the seats them at a booth. I was told by my server the booths were reserved for parties of 4 only. I was shocked, why didn’t I get this option?! So I continued to wait for my server to come back to let me know if I could move or not. While waiting another party arrives, two guys this time. The host ask do you have a reservation, the guys respond no. She then say that’s okay I can seat you at this table, pointing at the table I originally asked my server to move me too. At this point I’m feeling uneasy, disappointed, and confused. While I continue to wait for my server another party comes in, this time a guy and a girl. They don’t have reservations and they are sat at the communal table. Another option that I explained to my server that I would prefer than my current seating arrangement. At this point I’m mad. The server finally approaches me and I point out all the things explained in this review and his response was let be check with the server as I’m sure there’s reason. But what would be the reason?! I felt like they didn’t want to help me I felt like they didn’t care to help me bc after he said that he went to help another table. He didn’t go speak with the server. Being the only black patron in the bar I felt like I was discriminated against. Once my guest arrived and I shared with her what happened she said let’s go. I didn’t deserve to be treated like that. We walked out and will never return. I wouldn’t wish that type of experience on anyone.

Great pizza! Dark n cozy atmosphere, hard to get a table but there’s outdoor seating if nothing else. Cocktails were good not blow your socks off good but still good.

I’m on the older side so this place is a Sunday/Monday visit for me. Nothing wrong with the other nights but it does get very busy and loud on the weekend
Amazing drinks, service, and a rotating pizza menu that is as good as you can get for the price. Perfect spot for a fun dinner, a post-beach cocktail, or whatever your little heart desires.
All the best to the team behind this place—they have brought a great thing to Ocean Park!

Great for pizza, menu changes regularly, and a welcoming interior, with a bar and a pizza oven dominating the back half of the room. Mix of tables and a high top in the front, and the bartender is superb.

Pizza and a Space Camp cocktail will send you into the stratosphere. Keven and Kent are the biggest legends and know their craft. What a vibe!

I liked the food at this place but the service was so bad. They decided to tell us the rules for tables AFTER we were already waiting an hour for a booth. After trying to understand the point of view of the server, the waiters decided to be rude to us. It is basically hunger games waiting for a table and the servers are very selective with who they allow to break the rules. Don’t waste your time here. This place could use more organization.
