Alteno Bar, a package deal!

Alteno Bar, 8554 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA
This bar was a true Mexican experience: the music, the decorations, the bartender, the owner, the drunks and the TV shows were all Mexican. Karen, the bartender, was sweet and courteous. She served everyone and kept on smiling. Jerry, the owner and another bartender is also from Mexico. He seemed to like the “Santos” soccer team from Mexico; the big logo was on the wall near the bar. Jerry was entertained by the Mexico-Canada Beach soccer game playing on television. Mexico was winning, and the clientele kept on drinking and laughing, creating a happy atmosphere. The jukebox played Jenny Rivera music, and people sang as if there was a live concert in the bar. Karen said happy hours are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 6pm till 2am, and beers are as low as $3.00. As everyone watched the game, I contemplated more details on the wall, like the “Che Guevara” painting. The bar definitely had a Latin influence, and it showed all over. Alteno Bar provides the drinking clientele with pool tables and foosball tables; however, the bar was entertaining enough. Karen was bilingual, and she helped to facilitate the conversations among clients as they enjoyed their drinks. The bar didn’t neglect any details in creating a comfortable environment. For anyone who wants to enjoy a drink and a trip to Mexico, Alteno Bar is the place to go. The only requirement for this package deal is just to walk into the venue. That night, I had to leave early for another engagement. Nevertheless, next time I feel like going to Mexico, all I have to do is drive to Alteno.
