Casey's Irish Pub - open!

Kwame, the assistant GM


Google maps shows the pub and awning intact, but there's paper on the windows and FOR LEASE signs on the building. The internet is saying only temporarily closed, which because of COVID, that is entirely possible. Last yelp! review was January 2020.

Place has a reputation. The Infatuation says:

This place is an all-out shit show. But sometimes that’s just where the night takes you. Casey’s is secretly gigantic, with multiple bars, a huge front patio with ping pong, and an entirely separate room full of games you only see at Dave & Buster’s. This isn’t a place you head downtown specifically to go to, but if you’re crawling your way through the neighborhood, it’s a great spot to grab a cheap drink and experience some strange.

Yelpers say:

Literally the best Irish bar in all of Los Angeles!!

This place was amazing!!!! The best drinks !!

(The Irish Holliday blew my GD MIND !!)

Nice Irish Pub. It's a little different and not quite what I expected but somehow unique and still quaint.

It has a Irish Pub for the college crowd atmosphere to it.


I'm curious about that FOR LEASE sign, so I'm exploring their facebook page. Plenty of activity there! The establishment is still open for business, as in not permanently shuttered, but temporarily closed due to COVID pandemic. Casey's is one of many establishments owned by a group called Pouring With Heart.

Exploring the FB page, the place has personality. And as one reviewer lamented, "the place is so cool, I hate to ruin it by giving it a great review." You do what you gotta.
