West LA's The Arsenal takes loaded fries to a whole new level by letting customers order their waffle fries plate with actual mac and cheese on top. Read more

Open Mic on Sundays! Lotta comedians come here to workshop. Starting at 5:00pm. Caesar is rad!

Getting the 10oz filet, sipping a Bulleit neat, and sitting next to the most beautiful woman in the place (as always)...it's good to be the king.

Filet mignon, great tunes and beautiful singles: What more could you ask for? This Westside nightspot has a rockin' jukebox, a smokin' outdoor patio and a happenin' happy hour Mondays through Fridays. Read more

Opened 1950. American bar food. The first “El Arsenal” was destroyed by flood in 1916 & then “L’Arsenal” destroyed by fire in 1949.

The Arsenal had a little makeover a couple of months ago! No longer will your eyes have to adjust to the darkness when you enter. Take in the new style of the place! You won't be disappointed!

I just found out about this place. It's a pretty cool place with loud music. If you have a girlfriend who likes dancing and you like drinking, this is a good compromise.

Thursday is the night to be here. A smattering of hot yuppies. No attitude. And good food. Service is a bit lacking, so if ur short on patience, not the place to go. Great NYCish vibe to the patio.

Happy hour for the duration of Monday Night Football games and then late night happy hour from 10-1. Perfection.

Ask DREW ( the blonde bartender) for a KEY LIME PIE SHOT. It's definition amazeballs.

Avoid the bar to the right on Saturday nights because he's the worst fucking DJ I've heard in a long, long, long time. There's got to be an out of work DJ who is cheaper and better than this douche.

A small dance floor but do it get out there and cut a rug! The outside patio area is a great place to hang out too.

Worse service. Unless ur a girl. Good luck getting service, I was even told "we serve the pretty girls first". Bad move as a successful bar owner. Bouncer was rude on entry too!
The BullAugust 15, 2012
This bar was terrible. Bartender kept serving woman before the men, even when we had been waiting way longer. Staff had attitude. Font doorman was really nice though

The bartender tonight is pretty bad... waited 15 minutes for a glass of wine... she made out with someone while we were waiting. It was NOT busy
