Bastards Canteen - Downey

I've been there a few times since I worked in Downey, everyone was cool it will definitely go on there if I can, no big menu with food, but many drinks

Delicious food! Burgers, chicken and tacos were all very good. Drinks were also great! Great prices! Great service! If I were closer, that would definitely be a place I would visit very often! Love it's veteran too!

Reliable drinks. Can sit in different sections of the bar. No staff has to deal with drunk and sometimes violent people. The toilets are dirty because the drunk people are untrunken. The employees who served us still had a good attitude and did not make us uncomfortable.

I met up with some friends at this place for a drinks and dinner. This is my first time being in this little strip in Downy CA. Very nice place right next to two free public parking structures. Their beer selection isn't huge but it's nice plus they have other beer in a refrigerator in case you don't wants what's on tap.Their food isn't amazing and will leave it at ok nothing special really. I ordered their hot ? chicken sandwich, to my liking and opinion it was disappointing because it was kind of bland not spicy at all. Their bacon ? wrapped hotdogs ? are ok but you can find better on the streets of Downtown Los Angeles lol. Their Horchata staute ? tastes like cinnamon coffee but not horchata. Overall, this is a nice place with plenty of sitting area both inside and their outside patios.

Pros: Food. For a bar the bar food is excellent. The highlight was a toss up between the wings and rib tips. Both are good but the rib tip may a pushed the wings out just via bulk. Normally tips are a bit and toss kinda portion. These are meaty and well prepared. The drinks are a pleasant mix you would expect at a bar/pub. Staff were a refreshing after the dry spell that I have run it to. Cons: Set up was kinda weird. You place all orders at the bar. Then have your order brought to you. That limits the interaction with the waitstaff, and is a bit cumbersome. Prices are not outrageous but some things are pricey, some are very reasonable. Definitely try the food, enjoy the feel of the place and grab another round. Who ever said they had too many rounds with them. No one I know.
