This dive bar on a busy stretch of Sepulveda is easy to miss. Dark and unpretentious, it offers more than just drinks. Starting at 6am you can get some breakfast while you get your drink on. Morning options include your basic eggs, sausage and bacon options. Lunch is greasy spoon-style food like burgers and fries. The bartender is likely to wear cut-off jeans shorts and midriff-baring tank tops, even at 10 in the morning. The Castle is a cash-only establishment.
