Inexpensive and unpretentious, this is the kind of spot that restores your faith in LA and reminds you that it's not all tinseltown and velvet ropes. Nothing fancy, but strong drinks, friendly service, and interesting locals give this place a vibe that's hard to find anymore in this town.

Seeing as The Scarlet Lady is my home bar for my dart team, I figured I should update my review. Service has definitely improved and I hope it's not just because I'm a regular but that because my first experience was just an off night for the bartender. Drinks are stiff and affordable however, the craft beer selection is nonexistent. It's a dive bar, by looks and by feel. And, having been a thrower in the dart scene for years, it's my kind of place. I come by to practice and for organized matches as it's one of the closest to home. There are two boards in pretty bad condition - but not only do I bring my own in, I also bring in a white board for scoring. I don't much care for chalk as it affects my grip when holding and throwing darts. There are two pool tables and a both a golf and bowling, arcade video game. They're really popular and I notice that it brings people together, many times, strangers as it's cheap, easy fun. Lots of TVs for sports viewing - and Happy Hour prices are very reasonable. Parking can sometimes be tight unless you park in back which is sort of sketchy at night.

Scartlet lady is so much fun Christina is a wonderful bartender. Makes a great Bloody Mary. We are on our way there, they are a Saints bar. Fun fun! Pizza drinks and great people

Scarlet Lady Saloon is like a submarine karaoke bar for singin' & drinkin' ... dive, dive, dive, aweeha! aweeha! ... Dive, dive, dive! Don't come to Scarlet Lady for a date or trying to impress anyone. It's more of a local hangout with pool, darts, and karaoke (at night). The drinks are stiffer than "actor" Hayden Christensen ... which makes the bar an ok choice when you simply want to drink and dive. Sure, it's breaking safety rules to dive alone, but I rolled in to Scarlet Lady to let off some steam from work and catch the game on the TVs ... With a swan dive into a Double Bourbon and Diet Coke, I was on my way to saying good bye to sobriety and stress. It's not the cleanest or nicest atmosphere in this saloon ... ok, Scarlet Lady's not clean or nice ..., but I get the sense that the bartenders and customers all know and accept their "Do or dive" place in life. Of course, it may not be cool to label this bar a dive, but in the words of Rhett Butler after being called out for not being a gentleman ... "You, Scarlet, are no lady." Robots! Prepare my submarine. I'm going to do a little diving!

If you come to the Scarlet Lady with expectations, then you've already missed the point. This bar is all about those nights when you need a release but you refuse to get dressed up all fancy and wish to turn drinking into an art form. This is NOT an LA bar and I say that in the best possible way. You've got pool tables, dart boards, big screens for the games, karaoke to make you ears bleed and trivia night on Wednesdays to make your mind melt. All this in a cozy space so that you can nestle up right next to your best friend Jack Daniels, Jim Beam and Jose Cuervo. (That's a Three Wise Men shot for the uninitiated.) The bartenders are great... Especially "Lizzzard" and healthy pours are the standard. Fair warning, no food (no whining, I said no expectations damn it!). But you can bring you own food in or have it delivered and there are a bunch of quick options in the area. Heck, wanna make quick friends? Get some fries for sharing or bring cupcakes! (And if you bring cupcakes tell me when you'll be there!) So long story not-so-short, next time you debate drinking alone on the couch after a rough day at work, head to Scarlet Lady instead. You're welcome.

Don't bother scraping any further, you've hit the bottom of the barrel at this "bar." If you're in the unfortunate position in life where you find yourself at this bar on a Friday night, you'll realize that this bar might as well be a halfway house for recently-released Los Angeles County Jail inmates. Go ahead and waltz into this dirty sewer pipe on a weekend night and you'll see an "eclectic" mix of guys who look like they just got jumped into MS-13, Hell's Angels rejects, and guys who look like they drive 18-wheel diesel trucks for a living. When you walk into this bar, you'll see twenty some odd people with maybe 1 or 2 stable jobs at most. The female bartenders here look like they could take home the grand prize at the Belmont Stakes or the Kentucky Derby. The world doesn't have enough alcohol to actually get a guy drunk enough to think that any of the female bartenders here are attractive. Drinks: Pretty awful given the prices. Decor: Looks like the basement at Randy's house...Randy is an out-of-work trucker from Downey who lives with his elderly mother and goes to this bar every night to spend the money he made cashing his mother's social security checks.

It's not faux dive bar, it's an honest to goodness DIVE. However, even though it's super dark and shady looking, the prices are good and the pool and darts are fun. We usually go there as an office, and we have a good time.
(3)Marla F.
I like this local bar. They have Karaoke every night. People are friendly. Drinks aren't bad. Whats cool about this place is the parking in the back and the fact that it's next to a couple of food places and another bar. I like to go from bar to bar, back to bar, to food, to bar. Try this place out if you're in town ;-) Have one for me!
(3)Doug M.
Excellent drinks for the price. If you're looking for some good drinks and music this is the place to be. Staff is friendly and awesome all the time! They let you bring your own food or order in if you like. Cool atmosphere, I come here every chance I get.
(5)Emily D.
So.... a pitcher of Bud light is 12.50 all night......... and you can sing.... and you can play pool... and you can watch multiple tvs.... and you can watch people sing... and if all else fails, a pitcher of bud light is 12.50 all night.
(3)Brenna C.
Came here last night ultimately searching for karaoke but there was a live band and was just as fun! I'm a musician myself so it was really cool chatting with the band and making small talk, the bartender was a kind man who made me a drink that taste like a cupcake! Delicious! Although my night didn't end as I had hoped I really had a good time and maybe go with the girls the second time around! Cheers!
(4)Scott W.
Awesome place to watch Sunday football! Big niners place but everyone is welcome. Go here regularly. They have sting pours and Tommy's delivers from next door!
(5)Anh T.
If you're over 60 and feeling grimy, this is the place to go.
(2)nick g.
This place was a good choice for our large group to get together for karaoke - it wasn't packed, large, and pretty good selection for songs. Your chances of getting a chance to sing were better than in other bars that I"ve been in that were overcrowded. Sing your heart out, who knows, maybe you'll get discovered here.. What? you don't know.. sucka.
(4)Joe S.
This is a REAL dive bar with GOOD drinks. Love it there
(5)Guillermo C.
It is what it is right? Dive Bar...check! Obnoxious drunk folks... CHECK! Decent drinks and Karaoke.... CHECK CHECK! Cheap prices on drinks... meh... they could be cheaper. Not a date spot, but it is what it is :)
(2)Raymond P.
My group and I hesitantly walked into this place after finding a neighboring establishment not to our liking (we may have come on an "off" night, so I'm willing to give their sister bar another go). Well, needless to say we found this place better than their neighbor. I had a Fat Tire and played a game of pool with a buddy of mine. There was a live band playing, which was cool. It left a ringing in my ear, further worsening my tinnitus from past military service. The service was great and the crowd was alright as well. I'd definitely return sometime in the future.
(4)Trai C.
This place is awesome! All the bartenders are fun, fast, & friendly. Week nights are filled with excitement! Darts, pool, video games, multiple TV's. Sunday football is a must!
(5)Barry W.
*** JT Ross & Burlesque Show review on Wednesdays. *** JT Ross, the Harmonica Boss, used to do POW in Playa. Not anymore, so now he does Scarlet Lady on Wed nites. Scarlet Lady is a dive bar ... pool tables, dart boards, a few TVs, an older patronage, and most are neighborhood locals. Ambiance is meh, but the acoustics for the band are nice. ;) Noel (the bartender) pours 'em deep and keep 'em cheap so I'll be back next Wednesday for my JT Ross blues fix. It's cool. *** 3-star bar plus an extra star for Chicago blues in Culver. ***

Cheap drinks, two pool tables, clean ladies room, friendly crowd of all ages, live music every Wednesday. Close to the freeway, I am told (I don't do freeways). Easy parking in the free lots, one in back and one in front. Had no idea this place was so much fun or I woulda been in there sooner! The tables near the stage got shoved back so people could dance, as the evening wore on. If it's sports you like, there are TVs all over the place to watch the games. I dunno what the hell beer pong is, but they've got that, too. There's no need to wait until 11 or midnight to show up at Scarlet Lady on live music night. Most of the crowd arrived early, like 9 or 10, which works for me. I hate to get started real late. But speaking of late, I closed the place last night, ended up going to bed at 5am. Holy crap what a party. Life is good. *yawn*
(5)Emily S.
I was at the Scarlet Lady Saloon for Karaoke! While some people would say this place is Ghetto, I didn't really notice it because I was focused on the group we in, and the stage! I guess technically it could be ghetto. I would not come here on my own. Not because of safety reasons. More because of the crowd. I would feel better going to Backstage Bar alone. I like this place because it was easy to get in. There is plenty of parking in the lot near the bar. There was barely a line to sing on stage. The drinks were strong. (Vodka and soda was $7). You didn't have to wait forever to order a drink. And there's even a special (2 Sake Shots and a Tall bottle of Sapporo for $8)
(3)Red F.
Went here on a weekend to meet up with some friends to karaoke it up, and was happy to get the hell out of there after one beer. The place was pretty packed with an arrangement of personalities (which is always fun at a karaoke bar), but no one was necessarily welcome or friendly. In regards to the karaoke, my friends had put in their requests, and an hour later, still weren't called up. But we did get to see a drunken birthday boy sing several renditions of beyonce songs.....one. after. the. goddamn. other.
(2)Anna M.
I've come here with friends before and had an OK time, but the last time I was here the man hosting karaoke was being unnecessarily rude, telling people they couldn't participate and acting snarky and pessimistic. It killed the fun. What a bummer.
(1)Hugh M.
The Scarlet Lady is a great local dive bar with a die hard following, it is clean and well lit with a great drink selection, plenty of both seating and parking. The crowd tends to be a bit older and I think the owner has a house band that plays here when Karaoke isn't an option, They're not too good, but the crowd loves them after more than a few drinks. Two pool tables dominate half of this one room bar and a game is almost always in progress. I've had many great nights here celebrating friends birthdays and just plain celebrating. I'd definitely come back here again.
(4)Lori K.
I'm a fan of dive bars. What completes a dive bar for me is a dart board and that they do have so I'm good with this place. I had never considered patronizing this place on a night they had Karaoke because I'm not into listening to other people sing, but I've got to say it wasn't that bad. I only cringed 3-4 times. Other than that I was into the song selections and people didn't suck. After a few stiff drinks I went up there with Love C. That was only my second time ever trying Karaoke (the first being 10 years ago when I performed Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody along with 3 other people so I think I'm good for another decade). This is a great low key bar in a random strip mall with ample parking and even when the place was packed the lone bartenderess was doing a great job manning the bar by herself!
(4)Mahogany C.
The best part about this place is the mixed drinks.... they were strong.... that's all I have to say, I won't be back.
(1)Donna S.
dive bar for those who just want to throw some darts . shoot some pool . down some drinks . & chill with friends oh yea and karaoke!! (except wednesdays & sundays) ~*~ strictly a place to kick with friends, not for dressing up & meeting people
(3)Liz T.
You don't go to the Shore to fall in love! But I think I'm in love with this place. My friends chose this place as a meeting place to celebrate a Jersey Shore themed birthday party on a Saturday. It was PERFECT!!! No cover. Staff was laid back. And nobody cared how stupid we acted! They had a live cover band, which was actually really great. They played everything from Tom Petty to the Chili Peppers to Baby Bash/T-Pain. They actually may have encouraged our fist pumping, dance-offs and excessive shouting of WHO'S JUICED?!?! We actually then walked over to Tattle Tale afterward, which was more crowded, but equally laid back. It was Saturday, Karaoke night and the song selected were ones we would've sung ourselves: Baby Got Back, Don't Leave Me, Always Be My Baby...the list goes on. Even the Jack-n-the-Box across the street was quite accommodating to our antics. The cashier gave us two complimentary FIST PUMPS and a smile.
(5)AJ V.
The only people that like this bar must be the locals/regulars. I came in here with a friend not knowing what kind of a place it was. First of all, it's in a strip mall, so that already had me worried. We gave it a shot, and bought a drink at the bar. Next thing I know I'm getting poked in the back by some toothless 40 year old man. I'm all for dive bars, but this was just straight trash. Maybe it'd be fun if I was wasted and in a big group where I didn't notice where I was.
(1)Javier J.
The problem with this dive bar is that it tries its darndest to not be a dive bar. You have the stiff drinks that.. well, they're a buck or two too much to be considered dive bar drinks. Though maybe it's cause it's on the west side, who knows exactly why they're a bit pricey, but I know for damn sure that it's not a dive bar drink price. Also the beer selection sucks. New Castle is fine, but what kind of dive bar goes without the cheap staples of Pabst? It's not even a hipster thing, it's a matter of it's cheap beer. Not even a natty ice to be found makes me really doubt that this is a dive place like others have pimped it out to be. Oh, you have the patrons mixed with toothless old guys and complete drunks playing pool, but that does not a dive bar make. It's also waaaay too lit to be a dive bar. A dive bar is suppose to be dark enough so that you really don't see one another. That's how dive bars roll, they want to make sure you don't see your shame, or for that matter the type of people you're sitting at a bar drinking with in fear that you'll get up and go out to better your life so you're not a dive bar patron. Was here for Karaoke and that's the main reason why this even gets stars. The mood was lively and the Karaoke host was upbeat and entertaining. The people singing were a mix of.. well, drunks with perhaps a strange taste of music, as their staple choices were a bit odd. Over all it was alright for that. But the drinks really weren't worth the price you paid for them, nor where they anywhere near dive bar prices. That alone was a big failure in the dive department.
(2)Melody T.
This place is great. Just a place to meet up and chill Ive only been once, but I will be back. but say the prices are totally affordable. And the plus is Karaoke!!!
(4)Bob L.
I really don't know what the point of this place is. There is another dive bar about ten paces the other direction. Came here after my disappointing experience next store. This place isn't any better. They had karaoke too. Some punk was on stage flashing his pistol tattoo while half heartedly singing a rap song. Later on, he got into it outside with some older lady that looked like a regular. No babes. Not a friendly crowd. Didn't have fun. No dice.
(2)Allison D.
This is a bit out of my current neighborhood, so minus the star in regards to the cab / driving situation, however pluses for the rest. Disclaimer, I did get PRETTY drunk at a friend's birthday party here, but I had a fun night. The bar looks potential sketch from the outside, but the bartenders are friendly and efficient (calling me by my first name and remembering who I am throughout the night, +), the karaoke was entertaining (and man, some of those singers were decent), and the drinks were strong and priced affordably. I also liked the overall old school atmosphere, though perhaps the crowd was mostly for the party. The karaoke was cool because, as others have mentioned, the line wasn't long to sing, so if you wanted to you could actually decide you wanted to sign a song, get pumped for it, and actually sing... as opposed to some bars (cough Backstage bar) where it's one thing to pump yourself up and put you name on the karaoke waitlist and it's another thing entirely to actually get your name called and sing. Oh, and the bar's open early the next day, in case you accidentally leave your credit card at the bar and have to drive all the way back to it the next day, ashamed and embarrassed, and ask the sheepish question, "Um hi, yeah I was here last night, drinking excessively, and I THINK I might have POSSIBLY left my..." at which point they usually interrupt you because they know who you are. Or if you're like me, you THINK you've left your card at the bar and drive all the way down there prepared to have that conversation, only to arrive, be greeted cheerfully and by your first name by the bartender who was there last night (owner?) who then, when you ask about your card, tells you it's not there, and then recounts exactly what you ordered and when, and says, "You put it in your purse the last time. I saw." At which point you check your purse and yep... it's there. Just not in your wallet. Then you feel like a real winner. A+.
(4)Jon G.
The Scarlet Lady is about as dive as it gets. It is a super tiny room that is dark and dingy. It is too small for the noise level, and when there is live music you WILL damage your hearing. My group wanted to check it out since they live in the area and hadnt been there. We stuck around for a beer or two, but it was too crowded for the small space, and too loud to enjoy ourselves, so we decided to finish out our night at another place.
(3)Skippie L.
If you're into the Drais, Edison, and The Abbey club/bar scenes - then this place is not for you at all! If you're into the Silver lake scene, then avoid this bar at all costs. Hipsters beware: this bar is full of real people who grew up in southern California. Therefore, a local's dive. Jeans with T-shirt is the proper attire. For those of you who want to glam up for this place, please do. You will stick out like a sore thumb and may feel compelled to leave. More room for the locals! I feel better going to this place alone because this is a neighborhood bar where wives, husbands, aunts, uncles, cousins, come to meet sometimes. It's definitely not a place to pick-up. If you're into home wrecking, I can recommend a few websites for swingers, lol! For lonely singles who want a one-night stand, I recommend the other bars that I had mentioned above. I recommend this place for people who want to relax and just have a drink. If you want to dance and pick-up, please do not come here; you will regret it. If you want to chat with a bunch of hipsters and challenge each other's knowledge about where the cool clubs are & where the new songs are being played, then this place will bore you.
(5)Joey C.
Cheap stiff drinks. (I'm very broke, so when I say cheap i mean cheap, not business man cheap, but real person cheap.) The jukebox has such an absurd amount of songs, I promise there is something for everyone. Except for karaoke night you will NEVER have to scream to have a conversation. Even when the jukebox is on, it's on a perfect volume which doesn't shut down all talking in the bar. The bartenders and the regulars are all very nice to those new to the bar. Two pool tables, darts, ample parking, smoking patio in front AND back. Most importantly, this bar doesn't try to be trendy or hip, it's just a real bar for regular people trying to unwind and have some fun after a long day. Living in Culver City for a while, I've become accustomed to seeing the upper-class yuppie transplants invade every great bar and ruin it with their pretentious attitudes, ridiculous music, and unbearable general volume. The Lady is a great bar for Culver City locals trying to get away from that AND respectful visitors who want to have a fun time on a budget in a bar that is a true neighborhood staple. I highly recommend this bar for everyone who isn't an asshole who feels compelled to hassle the locals and turn this place into the fucking key club.
(5)Crystal H.
Happened upon this place when trying to find a good meeting place between mine and a friend's house. The red neon drew me in, though Tattle Tale is right next door. Enjoyed the bartender, stiff drinks and people watching. Definitely a strange mix of people, but one of the better LA dive bar experiences I've had. If you're an elitist, this is not the bar for you.
(5)Charles H.
I was here on a Thursday night. The Jagermeister girls were in attendance, ripped leggings and completely hot. This place had karaoke after 9 pm. The KJ was good, had a great rapport with the crowd of what I figure is mostly regulars. The place didn't pick up with business (I was there from about 8:30 to 10, then headed to the Tattle Tale Lounge, which was better). Mostly friendly people, one singer looked a lot like Tom Jones. Not the same voice but he had a good set of pipes. There was also a gal who looked a lot like Kat Von D and another guy who looked like Ernie Chambers. There were very talented and not so talented singers, like me. The crowd was diverse. I had great service from the bartender. I'd visit this place again and see if another night is more fun.
(4)Aileen P.
Scarlett Lady is a dive bar, which means: 1) You get good and sneaky drinks fast, without the hassle of trying to catch the bartender's attention 2) Quiet place for pool and darts 3) There's no long, agonizing waiting list for the karaoke. You can most likely get more than one song in and they've got a fatty songbook to choose from. Ambiance was stale, nothing spectacular but nothing terrible. The parking is pretty easy, the room is pretty small. Overall it's a nice, quieter and chill bar that is clean.
(3)Rick R.
Journey 4 doors down from the Tattle Tale .....talked to Red (great guy behind the bar) The lady had Kahlua and Frangelico, at Red's suggestion, and it was damn good. And I'm not a fan fan of sweet girly drinks. I gotta make it back here for Blues Night.. Small band space at front of the bar I guess. Pool tables, dart boards... a lil less populated than the Tattle Tale but same batch of locals. Nicer smelling than the Tale, but definitely will be worth another visit
(3)Dawn C.
I love a good dive bar, but I didn't enjoy the atmosphere. Maybe I was here on an off night, as there were only about 10 people in the place, mostly regulars. But it was a Friday evening so I thought it was the prime time to go. I have other favorites nearby so I probably wont be back anytime soon.
(3)Jim R.
It's called the Scarlet Lady Saloon, they have Karaoke, like, every night and the drinks are super strong. I see some of the reviewers don't get what kind of a bar this is. I refer back to my previous statement.
(5)Andrew E.
Newcastle on tap can't complain about that. The overall atmosphere is that of a standard bar scene. Pool tables, pinball machine, neon lights, loud music and a long bar. If that's what you're in search of you're in luck. There isn't much to really make this place stand out except the guy behind the bar was hilarious and a very attentive bar keep. He bumps it from 3 stars to 4.
(4)BISHOP S.
Scarlet Lady is one of the best bars I've been in. the drinks are great the bar tenders are very quick at getting your drinks onto your hands, i have to give it to Noelle she is the fastest in the west when it comes to serving 100 people in night all by her self. The crowed is good, the space is good, 2 pool tables that are always available, arcades, good music box. If you love to drink and have a good time with no drama, this is the place to go.
(5)Andrius A.
JT Ross & Burlesque Show The band was great. They defnately have a bit of soul in their swagger. The dancer is HOT. That is all. I will not go into great detail about how she starred me in my eyes as she danced, spread them leggs (i was not looking at her crotch), hopped on the chair, bit her lip, kiss her slowly in the back parking lot when no one is watching, woke up still in the bar, looked around, no one noticed i was daydreaming, took another sip of bourbon and tapped my leg to the cool grooves of the band. She got moves and I got inexpensive liquor and great company. There was not a huge crowd but it worked. Yes, I'll be back.
(4)Amber B.
This Lady has potential with its live music nights (check out JT Ross's blues band Wednesday nights + burlesque dancers!), pool table, and cheap drinks and where else can you find a huge free parking lot right out front and in back? Unfortunately the Lady seems to draw a clientèle that's a little older and rougher around the edges than what I'm used to. I'm a skirt, heels, and perfume kind of gal which made me feel way out of place. I guess if I didn't feel like dressing up and wanted to just roll out of my apartment in jeans and a hoodie sans any sort of prettification I might fit right in. If you get a little hungry you can buy Sun Chips at the bar! Thank you bartender for hooking us up with a bag for free!
(3)Sim city slicker S.
Beer selection blows, the cocktails sucked, karaoke was scary-okee. extra point for the pool table and dart board. the dress code: 3 tooth minimum
(2)Rick L.
Went in on an early Saturday evening after driving back from the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival cuz it seemed thematically appropriate [also this bar is walkable from our home]. Expected a total dive -- even kinda wanted one cuz we do love dives -- but the inside was actually kinda cozy. Not fancy, but laid out nicely: juke, arcade games [one was video shuffleboard], a long bar, 2 pool tables and 2 dart boards tucked into their own area [that is, until that space is used for live shows]. The bar was full but the rest of the place was empty so we grabbed one of the tall tables and a couple stools. Ordered a Whiskey Sour and Extra Dirty Gin Martini from the bartender [think her name was Noelle, and she was super cool]. Both drinks were tasty, but the Martini was particularly good because it was exactly dirty enough and served in an old timey small martini glass. Call me lazy, but I am so tired of getting served cocktails in huge glasses that make me feel like I am balancing a bowl of soup on a stick. Also ordered a Sierra Nevada, which they had on tap, and that is one HUGE advantage this place has over its neighbor, the Tattle Tale Room. Beer on tap is key. We left before the place got going [guys were setting up sound equipment when we walked out] but I definitely will return. I guess in summary you could say this bar is divey enough to be fun, but not so divey that it was scary. But thankfully it is a bar that feels like a bar should, and not a lounge or a club or a wine bar or a gastro-whatever, and sometimes I think that these "real" bars are a dying breed in Los Angeles.
(4)Matty D.
We sauntered over her after a disappointing visit to the Tattle Tale. This place was (to our surprise) marginally better than that other place a few doors down. Random thoughts: -stiff, inexpensive drinks -live band (the female singer wore a fez, the bass player a fedora circa Nick Rhodes/Duran Duran '83) -a real saloon vibe (we walked in on a cowboy-themed bachelor party - good times) -two pool tables (double bonus) -friendlier locals -cleaner than the Tattle Tale We decided we'd go back here again if we were in the area. It's fun if you're up to get sh*tty or have some random experiences (especially given the proximity to the Tattle Tale). ...
(3)Vince M.
I love karaoke at Scarlet Lady on Thursday nights. Rebecca, the karaoke host, is funny and entertaining, as well as a great singer. The crowd is always a fun mix of various ages. If you like being in the melting pot of Los Angeles (imagine the same mix of people around you when you're in line at Tito's Tacos), you'll like this place. They have a huge selection, and people do an eclectic mix of songs. It's very unintimidating for karaoke novices because it's not a "serious" karaoke place, and most of the crowd isn't paying attention to the singers. I always have a great time when I go.
(5)Isabelle H.
Good space. Relaxing. Lots of regulars. Good bartenders. Jolly butts.
(4)Patty O.
I always drive by this bar but never stopped in. It's in the same parking lot as Tattle Tale which is another bar I've never stopped in. So one night we were in the area and decided to check out Tattle Tale. There were a couple of shady looking gents outside Tattle Tale so we walked to Scarlet Lady instead. We were pleasantly surprised that it was super nice when we walked in. All diff kinds of people, a mixed crowd. The drinks were cheap. There were pool tables and darts! Yay love darts. We played a few games before the Karaoke people booted us. We didn't stay for the karaoke but I could see that people were getting excited for it. It looked like a lot of people were there to do it. I would def go back again :) Friendly crowd, cheap drinks, fun ambiance :)
(3)D. M.
Yeah, it's a bit of a weird place. The regulars are of the sorts that you would probably not want to talk to them if you were in an elevator with them, but who cares as long as they're not trying to hit on you. Cheap, stiff drinks (I had one wicked hangover from this place), and karaoke. Now, normally, I'm not a big fan of karaoke; however, Wednesday night is punk rock karaoke night! Well, that's good enough for me! The bartenders are friendly, non-pretentious bartenders, you can usually always get a seat in there and it's not too dirty. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little bit darker in there. It's really bright!

The hubby and I came to the Scarlet Lady to kick off the long Thanksgiving weekend. Just like Tattle Tale this a dive bar filled with old time regulars. There is nothing pompous about this place. belly up to the bar for a beer grab a stool and drink till you are feeling fine. The Scarlet Lady will not break the bank since there is always some kind of drink special running. Unfortunately, we came on a non karaoke night. But they have a raised stage area to house one so I am interested in coming to see how this place really gets it poppin' those nights.

Best dive bar ever. I have been going here since I turned 21 and will probably be going here when I am 81. It is definitely a locals type of place, but most everyone is friendly as long as you are not a douchebag or think you are too fancy. The karaoke (on Friday and Saturday nights) is fun but if you are not a good singer it is sometimes intimidating to sing up there because there are so many really good singers that go there all the time. Also, parking is abundant and totally free!

Awwwe, the Dive bar I love to call my Dive bar. The Lady is a great place to get a stiff drink, for not a lot of $$. Darts, Pool, trivia, karaoke on Fri and Sat. The Bartenders are awesome. What can you say...all around great joint!

Solid place to drink though I wish there were fewer TV screens.

Great place to have some drinks with co-workers after work

Pluses: 1) They have not one, but two machines where you can check your lotto winnings. 2) There are also two pool tables. 3) You can, ahem, people-watch here. 4) Apparently they offer beer pong on Wednesday nights. 5) Perfect place to take friends who make disparaging remarks about how sterile and trendy everything is on the Westside. Those of you who spent time in college towns will recognize the Scarlet Lady as the ultimate "townie bar." Minuses: 1) Everything else.

Loved it, loved it, loved it! We had a birthday party here on a Saturday night and the mix of people in the bar was fantabulous! Karaoke and pool tables in what truly feels like a saloon inside. There were college kids, hipsters, local yokels, and retirees. The neon lights that were blurred by my vision made the place particularly festive with the karaoke. It may feel a little divey and it's all good. It's got a high ceiling which makes this place feel bigger than it probably is. Or maybe it just felt bigger because I was tipsy. I wish that was always the case ;)

Karaoke, karaoke, karaoke! My friends live right down the street from the Scarlet Lady, so I often stop in for a couple cocktails and a song or two when I'm in town. The cocktails are strong and reasonably priced, the singers are anywhere from great to pretty bad, but the mood of the crowd always seems to be positive- just some folks who want to sing, laugh, chat, and generally have a good time. That's my kind of karaoke spot.

Pretty lame karaoke bar. Drinks were a little more expensive than they should be. And the place is too well lit for what its got. I don't wanna see the trashy floors in my dive bars. Karaoke was ok, but not many people interested. Go to the Tattle Tale Room next door for better times and drinks.

This place is right near my house, which is unfortunate as somebody was just STABBED here not too long ago. WTF? Anyhow, I've been here a couple times before, and it's an alright place. (Obviously, the above was not the bar's fault, so I'm keeping that in mind.) The bartender was a very friendly, cool girl - points for that. I do remember there was one gross couple making out on the pool table, though. I much prefer the Tattle Tale right next door, particularly on Saturday nights when some great karaoke singers come out. Anyhow, after the incident above, I probably won't be frequenting either of these places for awhile.

Snippets of conversation from the last time i was here: "WTF, is it trailer trash pick-up night?" "Why, are you getting hit on a lot? Bwahahaha!" "Holy crap man! That dude's shoulder is bleeding!" "I only gave him a hug..." "Help me get him up, let's buy him a drink or something." "So do ya wanna, y'know, take me home?" "Uh... i'm gonna have to say 'no' to that option..." I give this place 4 stars not for the too bright lights, nor the strange mix of people, nor even the really friendly locals who seem to enjoy buying me shots of hard liquor... it gets 4 stars for the karaoke at the end of the week, hosted by a woman with fine pipes who can really entertain a crowd, and the best song list of any karaoke bar i've ever been to (in this country at least). Come on, they have the Clash, the Killers and all the songs on Bob Marley's Legend compliation. I do hope my friends and i can return here sometime in the future. Perhaps when they've forgotten what we look like...

Most nights, this place is a little scary. Lots of toothless drunks and very large women wearing very small clothes. Good prices for the West Side though. However, Friday and Saturdays have some damn fine Karaoke, hosted by the lovely Shaundra (sp?). When she also hosted a less crowded, Thursday Karaoke, I would have given it 5 stars. Friday and Saturday nights are pretty crowded, so you can only get in 1-2 songs and since there is a tailor park across the street somewhere, you have to suffer through a fairly high percentage of country pop songs now. Still, I have a lot of great memories at this diviest of dive bars.

Good spot for playing pool with fair prices and stiff drinks! Been a few times and always been a good time.
(3)Fred F.
5 Stars if the bouncer wasn't such an egregious asshole. Seriously, look around pal. No need to be a douche. However, cheers for Noelle!
(3)calder g.
Meh. Too bright. Too sportsy. Tattle Tale on the corner is better.
(2)Roland D.
This place has to be the worst bar I've been to since moving to the area. The bartender was incompetent and obviously on some type of mind-altering substance. The rest of the staff was just as unfriendly and unhelpful. A dive is my kind of place... but this place is ridiculous.
(1)Cindy C.
So, the rating is purely based on the fact that I am a Karaoke whore... Ok, not really but how can you go wrong with spending a leisurely friday night out with your friends at a dive bar? Drinks are hella cheap -- yes, I said hella! -- and Cassidy, who rules the mic on Friday nights is hella funny too!

So the only way you will like this bar is if you are OK with "dive" bars. Personally, I consider myself a connoisseur of dive bars around LA and the South Bay area. This place is pretty good. It's a locals-style place (you'll get the quick scanning-glance as you walk in the door) with medium-pour drinks. Folks who know bars, know what that means. Some places have "light-pour" drinks (ie, 22yr old barmaids who use the little measuring cup to make cocktails); "medium-pour" drinks (ie, the barmaid/barman free-styles the cocktail through the spout on the bottle---this is proper), and "heavy-pour"== self-explanatary. The place itself is actually well-lit (even on the bright-side for a dive bar). This is one of those places you'll run into a couple of strippers who just got off "work" for a drink and to be left alone, or a workin guy who wants to have a decent drink with some music surrounded by familiar faces. They have karaoke every night. They have $1 tacos on "taco Tues" nights. That is the only food I know of there though. I don't think they have a kitchen. If you're a hipster looking for a faux-dive scene from Silverlake, or you're considering riding here on a 'single-gear' bike, DON'T bother. This is for locals only.

Im perplexed by the descriptions of Scarlet as a Karaoke bar...???? Scarlet Lady is, one of the better dive bars in los angeles. All the normal perks (cheap drinks, darts (real ones), pool, sports, live local bands) yet with some perks that one normally does not find at dive bars. The bands they get are often much better than they should be and at least one of the bartenders (Noel?) is perhaps one of the most capable/talented bartenders I have experienced in LA -- I am a difficult drinker. I described flavors I wanted and got amazing drink after amazing drink. But, just as good if all you want is a pitcher of beer and a nice place to share a few games of pool.

This is my new favorite place in LA. I love any place where I can wear my cowboy boots with pride. Drinks are super cheap compared to more hip places in the area. Stiff drinks, good fun and the coolest bathroom doors ever. I've only been here a couple times but I'm in the process of attempting to become a regular. I came here awhile ago on a night they did kareoke, but by the time I got enough balls to sing, some drunk girl broke the machine with her butt. A very drunk guys also very drunkenly "sang" Love Shack, which involved him hitting the microphone on the nearby table to express somebody banging on a door. No wonder it broke. I went last night and they had poker night! Not super exciting to watch, but it freed up the pool tables. This guy gave me the "pound it" handshake then did a weird come hither hand gesture, I'm not sure but he may have been hitting on me. It sort of looked like something you'd do while singing a power ballad, only it was directed at me. Who doesn't love a place where some middle aged guy wearing a Canadian tuxedo(all denim, all the time) hits on young ladies by weirdo hand gestures. This place is great if you run in a pack, otherwise it might be a bit weird to go alone/on a date. I would never go here by myself, as I'm a young lady. None the less, this place is so awesome I could go here every night and never get bored.

if you are in the mood for a dive bar check it out. not for everyone.

This is the definition of a "hole-in-the-wall" / neighborhood bar. I've been drinking and darting here since 1990 and usually greet everyone there by name. There's two decent steel-tip dart boards, two pool table, a video golf game and a trivia video game. The crowd is mixed culturally, socio-economically and ethnically but we all get along. There's karaoke Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and plenty of televisions for game nights. Monday Night Football is Sign Up to bring your own food for a pub-potluck dinner. Your hosts, George and Vince will reimburse you. They only drawback is the lack of great beer. There's Sierra Nevada and assorted domestics on tap and a decent variety in bottles, including Guinness pub-draft cans. An extensive hard liquor selection means you can chase that cheap draft with some good bourbon or tequila!
