Culver City's retro City Tavern is just classy and old school enough to make you feel like this could have also been Thomas Jefferson's favorite pub to stumble into for a cold brew.
Tom Bergin's on Fairfax is the oldest Irish pub in Los Angeles, a classic whiskey tavern that offers a casual and convivial atmosphere to a crowd drawn from a cross section of the city.
If you are feeling nostalgic for the bygone era of the 1930's, you don't have to buy a time machine, you just have to mosey on down to Oldfield's in Culver City.
