Short Stop

“Looking for a party? – you’ll find it” at this dark and windowless former cop hangout (it looks like a bunker from the street) in Echo Park where “poor, smug, mustached” types mix with “hot Latinas”, “art chicks” and “skateboarders” while drinking “cheap” booze, playing pool or getting down on the serious dance floor; it’s also a “must-go before any Dodgers home game.”

The strike force splintered, the Armenian money train was a disaster, and Julian still keeps dropping the soap. Okay, we weren't here in the Rampart cop days, nor the trucker hat Manifest Destiny era of pool table dance breakdowns. Legendary, jam-packed dive for photo booth PDA and charting the progress of late-era gentrification; stay alert for Westside/Valley UFO's. Can hardly breathe,...

Awesome, if a bit gritty. Usually this place gets packed on weekends and has great music spinning for taking advantage of the dance floor. Drinks are nothing special here, it's all about the crowd and the fun vibe.

I've been to the Short Stop quite a few times. I always go on Saturday nights though. They have really great lights and sound for a small little Dodger bar. Dj Nate Day always kills it too. I'd like to come here for a Dodger game once, especially since my Uncle (former Dodger) has his photo on the wall. They …
