Bars near East Los Angeles

“El lugar bueno y limpio buen ambiente“

“This den has reasonable estimating and clean environmental factors. My children significantly delighted in and wanted to play there. Additionally, the staff was extremely obliging, cautious to my children, and agreeable. In the long run, I loved everything out there. It was awesome and meriting to be appraised a 5-stars. We would visit again soon!“

“I don’t know how ‘hidden’ of a gem this is - but it is a gem. Such a unique place seeing as the only other one in the world is in London. Food is stellar and there are both British and American options on the menu. The display of motorcycles creates a fun atmosphere. There is a shop, barber, tattoo parlour, and display room for motorcycles as well as many other places to hang out here. Must visit if you are an auto or motorcycle enthusiast while in LA“

“Super cute spot with tasty food and a karaoke bar upstairs. The inside is a lot nicer which surprised me cause of the neighborhood but definitely enjoyed it. The mentaiko pasta was delicious along with the salmon crispy rice. The curry crispy rice was very spicy.“

“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...“

“Great beer, great outdoor vibe with music on the weekend.“

“This is one of those places where when no one knows what to do, come here. It never dissappoints. Came here late friday, had delicious drink that, although served in one of those fashionable tiny glasses, actually took me 30+ min to drink because it was hot and spicy in the best way-you actually HAD to sip it. Thank you, Wolves, for finally giving me a tiny glass cocktail I felt was worth the money. Oh, and what everyone else says about the ambiance-awesome-and you don't feel clausterphobic, even if it is busy because of the high ceilings.“

“The Angeleno Spritz was just what I needed after a long day of minor disappointments, that and the genuine smile from the tattooed guy working the bar this evening who was refreshingly upbeat and worked the room like a pro. So glad I stopped in!“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Such a vibe! Had an amazing experience. Highly recommend.“

“Unique & Friendly, for motorcycle lovers“

“I've been there once and it was fine last time. The cocktails were quick and the atmosphere was good. Overall, it was pretty good“

“Great qualities of meat selection and a bunch of other types of excellent qualities of food. Definitely a place to go to celebrate and for special occasions. The beef, especially the galbi, the shrimp, takoyaki, and everything is fantastic. We can grab most of the food and the premium food came out very fast. Will definitely come back.“

“I've searched for months to find a place like this. Absolutely amazing vibes here. Beautiful interior and comfy seating. Unique music and chill atmosphere. Food was SOOO good, but they don't have ranch 😫. Either way... my new favorite spot in LA!!“

“Cracking little restaurant.

Great food and friendly servers.

Skirt steak was to die for, would definitely get again.

Friendly and I didn't feel rushed.

Would recommend.“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“🙂👍 Great food and delightful people!“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“This was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised with everything! Their food was so good! I had the Buffalo Chicken Sliders and Southwest Chili. The chili was a bit saltier than I would have liked but it still worked. It came with a slice of corn bread and even that was amazing! 🤤

The bartenders were super nice and attentive, the decor is cool and the vibe was perfect. They have a patio in the back where you can play pool and board games. However, there's no music back there to respect the residents in the neighbourhood.

I will definitely come back to try out their other dishes!“

“A great place to be in Los Angeles‼️“

“We had a fine dining experience at Katsin restaurant. Food was delicious, creatively chosen menu, service was very good, entertainment made our dining festive. Thank you to chef for such creative and unique dishes. Will come back again to celebrate high taste and service of very caring staff.“

“Come drink here and enjoy yourself“

“Went here on a Sunday afternoon (LSOB). Not too busy and parking on the street isn't hard to find.

Im from out of town, but I've been coming here for years whenever I'm in town. Always a great selection of breweries from HPB, Green Cheek, Santa Adarius, Occidental, etc. Can and bottle selections are solid. The workers there are very nice. Dim-lit, dive bar interior vibe with a small outdoor patio with darts, ping pong and board games.

Overall, one of the top taprooms to visit in the greater L.A. area for craft beer. They offer 16, 10 ounce and flights, so you'll get to try a little of everything. Definitely worth a stop.“

“Beautiful bar. Modern with a home feel. The ambiance is very chill. Large and wide open window on one side gives you a good view of Sunset Blvd. opposite is the patio that has the food. You can order via a QR code and get a text when your food is ready. Drink menu is great! Bartenders are friendly.“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“This place is always packed, even on weeknights. It’s a testament to the beverages and service. Drinks menu rotates so there’s always something new and interesting to try. You can also always get a classic cocktail as well. Beer and wine are also served here. There is a regular food menu with larger portions from opening until about 9 or 10 pm when they switch to their late-night menu which consists of small plates to pick at. Theres plenty of heat lamps outside for when it’s cold you can still sit comfortably during the winter.“

“Breakfast menu from 9am to 1pm!
However, there will be no coffee after 13:00 :((
I couldn't get a second drink because it was just before 1pm. However, it was a restaurant where you could relax and relax before the game at Dodger Stadium (^^)“

“Spitz in Los Feliz never disappoints! The street cart doner wrap is my go-to—packed with flavor and always hits the spot. The staff is quick and friendly, and the vibe inside is fun and casual. Perfect spot for a laid-back lunch or dinner. Bonus points for the sweet potato waffle fries—addictive! Great spot for Mediterranean street food done right.“

“It's one of my favorite spots for a drink and tacos! The food is delicious. I have gotten the al pastor shrimp tacos, and my friend gets the short rib tacos. We love them! Love the ambiance, and the service is always great. Look forward to coming back every time. Street parking can be tough, but it's not a bad little walk if you have to park a bit further. Nice neighborhood.“

“Wow. This is a hidden gem in DTLA. Highly recommend unless you're a jerk. Ha. Great drinks, great food and amazing service. Felt like I was just hanging with old friends having a very enjoyable evening. This is gonna be my go-to spot anytime I am hanging downtown.“

“Love love love it. Get the wild shrimp, Mac and cheese and wagyu ribeye.“

“I love this place and they also have Suntory Premium The Malts on tap!! I’m a little sad though because the menu says the ramen comes with an onsen egg but it’s just a standard ajitama. I love onsen eggs and was so excited only to be let down :( happened twice.“

“Great place for a late night hangout with friends. Love music!“

“Great beers and wine, great food, even better staff. Truly a great spot. I went on my dog's birthday to get him a burger and the staff was so helpful. They made sure his was free from salt and onions, and ours were made the way we want. The staff is fantastic and the drinks are well curated. The fried pickles and jalapenos are great too!“

“So yummy it was best food I have had I like it a lot and they are open late which is rlly good for me since I am a late night owl and I stay up later especially when there’s delicious Thai Food from Sticky Rice which is always a huge plus for me when it is late and I am hungry which is not now but could be later.“

“Amazing place for drink and food . The vibe is super chill. They always have amazing DJ and the cherry on top they have a pill table ? $1 each game 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Simple fun, relaxed atmosphere, great little place“

“pinball and atmosphere. if your friends even want to judge then they aren't your friends 😆#puropari“

“I came to work from here on a Friday afternoon and enjoy happy hour. $2 off wine, $9 for house wine, and $6 for beer. The wines were refreshing and the atmosphere was a great vibe.

There was free WiFi and plenty of seating. And it's about a 10 minute walk from the metro.“

“Bartenders, Ollie & Calixto are the best!!!’“

“Good 👍 I’m so happy very much.“

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“Best bar in Hi Fi Perhaps the world.“

“Loved this place! Great vibes! The music venue is great and I love that the bar area is separated so you could talk at the tables and hear one another, yet you could still hear the music in the background. The Thai food was an unexpected bonus and super delicious. All around a fantastic experience.“

“Good enough for Richard Pryor, good enough for me!“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“Came hungry, came thirsty, and came in need of a good spot to let my creativity flow. This is it. This place has it all. The ambiance gets you set to sit, relax, and unwind. The drinks are on point, delicious and well served. The service and welcoming environment is just the beginning. Food is gourmet, lighting is perfect, service is amazing, and the rest; well, come and find out for yourself. Great experience. I'll definitely be a returning visitor.“
