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!“

“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!!!“

“February 2023 we travelled to LA from San Diego for a weekend of delightful shenanigans and shows. I am a huge tea connoisseur and I adore going for high or afternoon tea. I found this place through a quick Yelp search and it had such a unique atmosphere and look that I couldn't resist. Was able to make a reservation through OpenTable.
When we arrived at the hotel...yes, Lilly Rose is located in the basement of The Wayfarer Downtown Los Angeles...we checked in with the concierge and were escorted downstairs. When we got off the elevator and entered the space all of our jaws dropped. The space is decorated so whimsically it was great. There was a fortune teller machine like the one from Big. There was a carousel horse. There was a rollercoaster bench and so much more. We were seated almost in the center of the venue in a private high backed banquette. It was a dreary rainy day so it was quite empty when we arrived but picked up about an hour after our reservation began. So the dreary, rainy day was wreaking havoc on the hotel and the heat was out in the venue so it was quite chilly. The manager who was helping us had a space heater that he let us point toward our table to stay warm. The chill didn't dampen our mood; we had enjoyed had an excellent time and experience.
Our server came over and brought a tea board with their featured teas for us to select from. I love those interactive tea boards. It's great being able to put your nose into the tea you're considering to see what the aroma and body of the tea will be. We each selected a tea and added on champagne to our tea. Our teapots arrived first and we were all happy with our selection. A short while later our tea tower was delivered to the table and had the best selection of tea sandwiches and savouries. As a regular tea attendee I've had a ton of different sandwich and savoury selections but it's always great to be surprised with others. We munched and chatted and took photos of the venue. The staff were friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable which always makes the experience that much better. Our sitting was for two hours but they didn't bum-rush us out. We were able to linger and sip tea and relax. Before we left our server was even nice enough to snap a few shots of our threesome. I can't recommend this tea enough. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Lilly Rose! I hope to sup with you again soon.“

“Great Experience first time staying here“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Nice place ro drink and have fun“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Been coming to this bar for 10 plus years. Chill atmosphere with good music, pool tables and a great happy hour. Bartenders are cool amd friendly. I have recommended this place to many family and friends throughout the years. Will be returning for many years to come.“

“Great venue for concerts! It’s relatively small allowing you to be closer to the artist on stage. There’s a bar, seats available and an outside patio area. Speakers can get super loud so I’d suggest bringing earplugs if you have sensitivity. Just saw Author & Punisher this week 🦾 and Youth Code earlier this year ⚙️ 🙌“

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

“The beautiful women behind the bar are great!“

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

“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.“

“Iconic bar in DTLA! This place is as cool as it is old. If you’re in DTLA go have a drink at this spot. The bartenders are super friendly, grab a seat a the bar and have a nice chat with them or they have a nice atrium seating area. This is the only bar in DTLA that you can buy liquor to go. No food, but the day we were there, two food trucks were set up out front. Definitely get the Dickel with the Pickleback. This sounds strange, but it is fantastic!“

“ADDISON WAS THE BEST PART! His energy and attention to detail really made our experience worth while! If you go, ask for him ☺️“

“Great place, great atmosphere, great service. What’s not to like?“
