Short Stop

"The Short Stop has been an essential cornerstone of Echo Park long before I ever moved to the area. It's a bar that is teeming with good vibes and great music. Dance Yourself Clean first began on the hollowed dance floor that many a feet stepped to. Every night has a different theme. Be it house music, R & B, hip-hop, disco, motown, you name it. They have it. The Stop is always a reliable place to go if you run into a dead end as far as night plans are concerned. It's a straightforward place. No frills. Not huge on pomp, but it makes up for it in energy! This is a favorite dance spot for many LA locals and dance lovers alike. They're neon sign says Dancing is evil, and if that be the case, I'll stick to being a regular, old-fashioned villain. Update: The Stop is still banging and slanging tunes for you goons to get out and groove and move to."

"Fun bar for a night of drinks and dancing, or a place to celebrate a Dodgers win. However, be aware of your personal belongings and your surroundings. The place can get packed on a Saturday night. I remember having my phone on me when I entered the bar. But when I was leaving about an hour later, I reached for my phone in my crossbody and it was gone. Likely stolen on the dance floor or at the bar. I have to assume it was a local since my phone was showing up at an apartment building a couple of blocks away on Find My. Great spot for a good night, but be incredibly wary of your valuables and who you're around - which could make for a not so fun night. Based on some previous reviews, it seems like a prime spot for pick pocketers."

"Nice local bar in Echo Park. Easy street parking nearby. Chill staff and vibes. Motown Monday was underwhelming."

"Go anywhere else! Drunk bartenders and incompetent employees! 1. The place is small, the music is boring and generic, and there is only one pool table. 2. When I went here to open a tab, the bartender lady did not hold onto my card or ID or anything which was suspicious. 3. Some other random worker tried to take a drink from my table that clearly wasn't even finished yet. 4. I come back to order more drinks, and the bartender is different this time, a drunk male who can hardly even focus. I get the drinks, close my tab, but he hands me someone else's card. "This isn't my card," I say, and then I tell him my name for the tab. He couldn't find it (because the first bartender lady never held onto my stuff which was a bad mistake) so essentially I make a new tab and close it right away. (I was not charged for the drinks I ordered before from the lady.) 5. I go back to the bar and there is a new bartender lady (who is also the person who tried to take my unfinished drink away), and I just went to as if I still have a tab open (because that last guy was very drunk), and she says no. I'm not sure how this is possible or what happened to my first tab. 6. 4-5 days later, I get charged for everything I should have been charged for that night, (I saved money in case I would get charged later), but on top of that, I get charged an extra $38 from 2 bonus transactions that never even happened! Please do not waste your time here, I beg you."

"20+ years been coming to short stop. Always good times here. I miss seeing the old bartenders and bouncers I use to see a lot many years ago. Get there early to avoid the lines. If you get in, get some drinks at the bar either chill and lounge or dance . Once the DJ turns up the music, the dance floor is jammed packed. Focal Finder Productions Videography / Photography"
