Known affectionately by residents and local media as the "Mayberry by the Sea"– or known not at all! While many people have heard the old Tribe Called Quest song "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo", try asking them to find it on a map. What El Segundo really is, is LA's best kept secret. A haven of locally owned shops and bars that has been gloriously frozen in time.
Here's an Inception-esque scenario for you: The Standard Station lives on Standard Street, named after the late Standard Oil for which El Segundo got its name for being the home of 'the 2nd' Standard Oil refinery. This pub is flanked by Standard Oil memorabilia and has that quaint scent of nostalgia that El Segundo residents go crazy for. Great drinks and a stacked menu along with oodles of HD TVs for your sports spectating needs.
