Cool spot. Check out the old beer can collection on the way out to the patio. Also, try and say beer can without sounding like a Jamaican saying bacon...
Go here before a game at the Ravine, get some cheap beer, then wait for the tamale guy. $6 for 2 tamales, usually cheese and chicken. You can even bring them into the stadium.- Becherovka VoyagerSeptember 4, 2013Catch a game of pool, cards, or hit the arcade with a nifty drink in hand and a diverse crowd of Dodgers fans sipping on the herbal wonders of Becherovka.
Sarah SpagnoloOctober 13, 2015Arrive about 2 hours before a Dodger game, and park yourself in a corner near the billiards table. LA tailgating at its finest.- Samuel JacksonMay 29, 2015Fun pool table. Gets the drunken spill over from little joy's table. Watch out for the rowdy crowds after Dodgers games.
Haley WhiteJanuary 10This place is crazy but if you want to go out dancing to like 90’s/00’s hip hop/rap this is the spot
CraveOnlineOctober 7, 2010If you like drinking $2 beer's before the Dodger game then the Short Stop is your kind of bar. Once a favorite hangout for the LAPD it is now a spot for Dodger fans, locals and hipsters.
Zack JeromeMay 10, 2014Also known as the Rampart Cop Abuse Hall of Fame. Smoke cigs in the back and argue Dodgers rotation decisons.
BravoJanuary 28, 2010The Shortstop features old cop memorabilia, a great pool table, a photo booth, and great drinks. It's a sprawling space that's great for meeting all your friends. -Ashley Merriman, Top Chef
Justin SeineOctober 15, 2010I've been 86'd since 2005! Join my cause on facebook- Solid State Los AngelesJuly 18, 2010The Strawberry! 3rd thursdays with Max, TK Disko, Even Ian, Ryan Poulsen and Rick Wren (rotating). Keep an open mind for the disco.
Shannon BlackSeptember 28, 2010Monday nights are the best drinks that don't look like they are stupid! Oh and the best salsa in all the free world
MazdaNovember 15, 2010Remember your night by taking some cool black and white photos in their awesome old-school photo booth.
Saturday night DJ is never as good as you'd hope him to be. Go for the crowd.
caroline grayAugust 6, 20101st Tuesday of everymonth check out SUPERDISCOFREQ, great fashion forward easygoing fun dancing crowd!

- Justin SeineOctober 15, 2010Once upon a time I walked inside and was poor and stressed, I ordered a PBR from the barmaid Mandy and when I gave an apologetic pose with all I had (which was 6 quarters and a dollar bill summing up
Cropdusted at the jukebox.... In a nutshell. That explains this bar.
CJ PomerantzMay 17, 2011From $1.50 pints to $2 cans of past in just a few years. Pretty weak sauce shortstop.
Come on a Wednesday and try to avoid the big dancing white guy.
San TongMarch 5, 2010Watch out for vertigo. When the disco ball is going you feel like you are inside a snow globe.
André RodriguesMarch 6, 2011Becarefull if you are a tourist. The bartender will try to foul you with the change. Dont give him 100 dollar bills.
