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.

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.

Bartender complained about splitting a tab of only 1 shot each in 4 and openly complained to her coworker in front of our group. The bartender before her had no issue doing the same earlier in the night. Needless to say that was the last drink we purchased there & moved onto Little Joy next door where the bartenders were so sweet.

Went right after a Dodger's game. Took 30 minutes to get in on a Saturday night. They have 1 pool table in the back. Plenty of dance floor. Drinks are great in taste and prices.

First time going to this place was more then what I expected watching Dodger baseball service is great and fast and friendly

Firstly if you're a Dodger fan and have never been here, you're seriously missing out. Only better place to watch the game is the stadium itself, and even then this is a solid stop for before and after.
With that out of the way, this place has everything you could want out of a bar. Pool table, huge TVs, dancing area with a stage for DJs and performers, even a photo booth. And am I nuts or are the seats in the smoking area stadium seats?
Only con is that the staff is a mixed bag. Some bartenders are super nice and accommodating while others are decidedly not. Also they will swoop on any unattended drink, a few girls' drinks got taken by the bussers when they were clearly not empty. Also the bouncer was really nice (bouncers don't get enough shout outs).
Aaaaaand that's it. Just go!

It's full of nice young people from the neighborhood, and the surrounding area now. No more crooks from Rampart anymore.
