Cozy Inn

Cozy Inn sits quietly on Washington Place in Culver City as a classic neighborhood cocktail bar where the mix leans heavily into fun and familiarity. This isn’t the spot for polished craft cocktails or sleek modern vibes — instead, it’s all about that timeless dive bar feel, where people come to unwind, play games, and soak up a crowd that spans from working folks to laid-back hipsters.

The bar’s draws are easy to spot: two pool tables, a vintage regulation-length shuffleboard that clearly gets plenty of attention, darts, and a nostalgic touch with a jukebox and some retro arcade-style games like Golden Tee. These elements set a playful tone that feels inviting for regulars and first-timers alike. If you’re looking to grab a drink and linger over the shuffleboard, you’ll find the pours are generous and the Corona and pineapple juice-spiked tequila mixes a popular choice.

The atmosphere is lively without being loud, with bartenders who know their way around the bar and the crowd. It’s a place where you can strike up a conversation easily, whether you’re clutching a drink or lining up your next shuffleboard shot. A variety of people come through here — expect a blend of locals that range from the blue collar types to more casual, trendy visitors who appreciate the relaxed, unpretentious setting.

Best times to visit tend to be evenings on weekdays or weekend nights when the social buzz picks up. The Cozy Inn leans into its neighborhood bar roots, so it’s less about rushing through drinks and more about hanging out. It’s a good bet for anyone craving a spot that feels like “the bar where everyone knows your name” — as long as you come with the right vibe.
