Old Man Bar

Tucked away behind Hatchet Hall in Culver City, Old Man Bar feels like stumbling into a secret that not everyone knows about. Step through and you’ll find yourself in what can only be described as your coolest uncle’s hunting lodge—dim lighting, wood paneling, and an atmosphere that practically begs you to stay for just one more drink.

The focus here is squarely on brown spirits, and they take it seriously. The dedicated Old Fashioned menu alone is worth the visit, offering multiple variations on the classic that let you explore different whiskeys and flavor profiles. Whether you’re a bourbon devotee or prefer rye, you’ll find something to love among their carefully curated selections.

This isn’t the kind of place for a raucous night out or dinner with the whole family. Old Man Bar thrives as an end-of-evening destination, whether you’ve just finished a meal at Hatchet Hall next door or you’re looking for a quiet spot to wind down after exploring Culver City. The intimate space and focused drink program create an experience that rewards those seeking quality over quantity.

For anyone who appreciates a well-made cocktail in a space with genuine character, Old Man Bar delivers. It’s the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like an insider just for knowing it exists.
