Tiny's Hi-Dive

It’s not every day in Los Angeles that a new neighborhood dive comes along, and while Tiny's lacks the scuffed, mysteriously sticky floors that traditionally accompany the genre, this Chicago-inspired watering hole serving Italian beef sandwiches is a welcome addition to the Westside drinking scene. Sip on $10 house cocktails (in this economy!) and snack on affordable bar bites—including some seriously delicious hot dogs—inside Tiny’s red leather booths, or break out into the adjacent covered patio for pinball, arcade games, a photo booth and the latest NFL game. Inside, there’s a jukebox and a pool table, plus Mallort and Hamm's for those homesick for a taste of the Windy City. Plus, unlike many L.A. bars these days, Tiny's stays open until 2am—so if you’re the type who enjoys a spontaneous nightcap, you’re in luck.
