The Backstage Bar & Grill is a legendary place that's been around for over 70 years.
Located across the street from Sony Studios, the Backstage has always been a studio hangout, but now it's also a favorite spot for birthday & private parties. And, The Backstage has the cheapest drinks and Best Bar Food in town.
Karaoke is great here, even if youre not a fan. It's L.A.s top-rated karaoke. Every Thur, Fri & Sat.
The Backstage is the top spot on the Westside for Sports. All the games in HD on 10 plasmas.
Our food has been named the Best Bar Food In Los Angeles. The only bar kitchen in history without a freezer or microwave.
The Backstage is an old school place. Dim lighting, cozy firepit & friendly staff.
Drink at the bar that the Munchkins called home (really).

on Citysearch Feb 06, 2009The crowd feels nice, yet the food is horrible. The french fries are so salty that you would need vaseline on your lips to soothe them. Don't even consider the beer on tap because it is flat, same goes for the diet coke. We... (more)
