Somewhere between a good time
and a bad decision.
Since 1954 Guardsman’s Lounge is a part of the community’s story. Since the mid-fifties, we’ve been the go-to spot in Downey for people looking to unwind with friends, sip a well-made drink, and enjoy some classic fun. With friendly staff, comfortable vibes, and a playlist that always hits the right notes, Guardmans is where casual nights turn into lasting memories. Over the years, we’ve built more than just a bar—we’ve built a gathering place where laughter, conversations, and friendships come alive. Whether you’re a longtime regular or walking in for the first time, go you’ll always feel at home here.
