Lounges near Downey, CA

“Love neighborhood bars, and this one was no exception. I did not rate the food because we didn’t eat and I’m not sure if they have food or not. The drinks were great, the bar is lively and there was a DJ. Super fun vibes and great crowd. Reminds me of the pre Covid days. Everyone was friendly and talkative, buying drinks for each other with no drama. I went here on a whim with my friend after the Beyond the Grave pop up bar. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but places like this are my favorite. I will definitely be back! The bartender made a perfect Midori sour, which is actually one of those cocktails that seems easy to make, but can be easily unbalanced. Definitely some pool sharks which made for a good viewing“

“La Fe’s On’ry menu is one of the most exciting dining experiences we had lately. It’s the kind of spot where every dish feels intentional ... bold flavors, thoughtful textures, and a touch of surprise. If you’re someone who likes to explore beyond the usual, this is absolutely the menu to go for.

What We Ordered & Loved:

Bread Service
Don’t skip this. The cultured butter comes whipped into silky ribbons, sprinkled with smoked salt, and served with warm bread. It looks simple but the flavor is next-level. The butter is so good you’ll probably want to finish every last smear. The chef made a mango jam and it goes so well!

Deviled Blue Crabs
One of the most eye-catching presentations of the night....served inside actual crab shells over rock salt. The filling is smoky, savory, and layered with richness from the tomato butter and a lift of Meyer lemon. It’s indulgent but balanced, and definitely a conversation starter at the table.

Kanpachi Crudo
This was one of my personal favorites. Fresh kanpachi paired with radish, cucumber, mushrooms, and a touch of chili heat. The bee pollen kosho and chamomile oil give it a delicate, floral note that makes it stand out from the usual crudos. Bright, clean, and perfect to share.

Tea Leaf Salad
Easily the most surprising dish. It comes loaded with herbs, crunchy shallots, toasted nuts, tomatoes, and romaine. Every bite is different.. crunchy, tangy, fresh, with that slight umami depth from the tea leaves. If you like texture, this is the dish to order.

Mussel and Potato
A heartier plate that’s still elegant. Mussels in a silky sake lees broth, paired with tiny potatoes that soak up all the flavor. The broth itself is so good you’ll want bread on the side just to scoop it all up.

Cherries and Cream
Dessert here is not an afterthought. What looks rustic turns out to be layered and complex — cherries with cream, brown butter crumble, hibiscus, and even fresh herbs to cut through the sweetness. It’s creamy, crunchy, tart, and fresh all at once. A perfect ending.

A final thoughts....

Service is warm and unpretentious — the staff clearly knows the menu well and seems genuinely excited to walk you through it. Dishes come out thoughtfully paced, and the presentation strikes that perfect middle ground between rustic and refined.

Insider Tips

Start with the bread service — it sets the tone and the butter is unforgettable.

The deviled blue crabs are a must if you want something show-stopping.

Save room for dessert — the cherries and cream will surprise you in the best way.

Portions are made for sharing — come with at least 2–3 people so you can try more plates.

Don’t overlook the tea leaf salad — it’s easily one of the most unique and refreshing dishes ...

Also the menu changes so its an adventure...“

“The best place in Dtla! Ask for Hiro, he was super amazing and kept our drinks full!“

“The atmosphere here is great. It is dimly lit with a cozy-cool vibe. Lots of interesting furniture and decorations to look at. The drinks are great. This space is not huge so if there is an event going on that night get there early. Would recommend.“

“Great Experience first time staying here“

“I love spending time at high tea! I wanted to take my daughters somewhere different, and the Wicked Wolf Cocktail Bar had popped up on my Facebook page. I explored their website and the eclectic offerings were just what I was looking for...plus they received 4.8 stars on Google! Don't let the exterior fool you...when you walk inside it's magical. The tea sandwiches and scones were mouth-watering and each individual pot of tea was just what we wanted. But the best of all was our fantastic waiter Ishmael...he was attentive, interesting, and friendly. He even took us on tour of the rooftop seating. I cannot wait to return!!!“

“Stopping by to sing some karaoke & see some old friends“

“Traditional Taiwanese dishes served in a banquet setting. That’s a first - I have only seen Taiwanese food served in casual restaurants and cafes.

Menu is expansive and every dish we ordered tasted authentic. Best stinky tofu I’ve had outside of Taiwan.“

“I never know this place was beautiful and elegant bar. This place is gorgeous especially the open windows view of the hills leading towards gorgeous home. The atmosphere is old fashioned but very well designed. The people were nice and so friendly. Now the music isn't for me. Maybe because l didn't stay passing 1030pm but the drinks were top tier. I tried several drinks and they were exquisite. This place is open everyday with never charge. Must come and visit especially this time of the month OCT. Definitely will come again.“

“Prepare to lick your fingers and close your eyes as you savor the Camarones Zarandeados! So good, so flavorful, so buttery and garlicky. Every time I drove through, I told myself I had to stop one day. Well, today was the day, and it exceeded expectations. Can't wait to try their other dishes. Yum!“

“Very fun, LIT bar! It's a hole in the wall, my wife and I found it by accident. Saturdays they have a great mix of reggaeton, old school reggaeton, Spanish rock, cumbia, merengue...etc. Drinks aren't pricey. The interior decor is really cool as well!“

“Seating is ridiculous at Union Station. I don't mind the cost of the lounge if I don't have a first class ticket. It's worth it to me to be comfortable and relaxed before traveling. Unlimited coffee, juices, and sodas. Comfortable seating. Big screen TV. Friendly Amtrak service and transport to your train.“

“It was actually a very good experience. The service was great. The view was better than expected. Overall, a very good setup“

“We had a wonderful time celebrating our friend Lettie’s Birthday 🎂“

“Yesterday was the first time in this good restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening very much with the courteous service, with the high quality cuisine and fine drinks and with the decent charge. We will absolutely return there again.“

“Nice place ro drink and have fun“

“The beautiful women behind the bar are great!“

“I was here for a birthday party and vibe was real chill.

The bartenders were awesome and it was great time. Drinks were solid and the wait wasn’t that bad, overall it’s a great spot for an adult beverage with friends.

I’d definitely come back here again in the future.“

“On June 25/2025, I went to The Echo with my boyfriend to see The Red Pears, and it was such an unforgettable night. The crowd was completely into it, dancing and cheering, and the energy in the room was electric. The music was amazing, and you could feel the passion of the band in every song. ❤️Even with all the excitement around us, my boyfriend and I had an incredible time together, enjoying the moment and just soaking it all in. The lighting, the sound, and the vibe of the venue made it feel intimate yet full of life. Definitely one of those nights I’ll remember for a long time. (El inicio fue lo mejor honestamente🤍)“
