For me, it used to be the Clipper Lounge in Long Beach, not really that great, but one of the best dive bars to watch football on a Sunday morning. An added treat was the Giants and Cowboy fans who fought for table space. The gangbangers and off duty cops made an interesting mixture as well.

Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas on Sundays. All the bikers hang out there and have for years. It's usually a pretty tame place for mexican food but on Sundays all kinds of fights break out. I was eating on the patio portion one Sunday as my friends band was playing and was up dancing. A fight broke out and I got shoved into/onto the stage.
hmm, the only couple of places that bothered me to eat but i'd go back again were a restaurant somewhere on the way to mammoth, filled with bikers, veterans and some guys that had that aryan brotherhood look and tattoos' but the burgers were pretty ****ing good. I'm vietnamese and jewish...it wasn't a good place to be.
The other was a restaurant in Brighton Beach, NY, we had local hosts that were respected in the community so it didn't seem a big deal to take us to what I would say was a mobbed up restaurant, or "Neighborhood Association" to be kind. Good russian jewish food...scary dudes in the back half of the restaurant watching everyone come in and out.
Also, La Parilla on Cesar Chavez in Boyle Heights. I'm not afraid because it's all my peeps, but my Westlos friends are usually a little apprehensive when we go there - but they still go!
Havent been to the original Tommys in ages but I always thought it was a gang free zone and never had any issues.
These weren't "gangsters" per se. They were just drunk macho a-holes who had been drinking and trying to pick up chicks at the clubs. They were unsuccessful and pissed off.
Living in Hollywood for many years, BY FAR the scariest place for me to go--but I was helplessly addicted--was Pizzeria Uno when it opened on Santa Monica Blvd. Right smack in the gayest part of WeHo. I was young and cute, so it was always a dicey proposition heading over there. Had to watch my back---literally---and fend off attack from all directions. I couldn't care less about anyones sexual preference, but if you're gonna pinch my ass you had DAMNWELLBETTERBEFEMALE!!!!
