“This is the place we come to all the time!! Amazing music, customer service, food!!“

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

“I was having such a grand old time at La Fe that I wanted to take a picture of my experience. I set my phone on a ledge, but my phone fell through a crack. La Fe’s STAR employee, Caleb, had to dismantle the freakin’ couch using power tools in order to retrieve my phone. It took so much work and time and I’m so grateful. Aside from the superb service, La Fe is such a perfect spot for a date or for chilling with friends because of the stylish and hip decor. I would def recommend!“

“First time coming to this hookah lounge and I’m honestly really impressed. I’ve lived in LA for the past two years and been to a lot of different spots, but this place definitely stands out. The vibe is great, the staff is super friendly, hookah was amazing. Set up is great, comfortable, and well organized. Easily one of the best lounge experiences I’ve had in Los Angeles so far. Definitely coming back.“

“The music is awesome! The service is great! A place to enjoy a cocktail or two and reminisce with old friends.“

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

“We had a really satisfying meal at Chungdam 828, and while the food did take quite a while to come out, every dish tasted so good that it was definitely worth the wait. Our server, Danielle, was super friendly and provided excellent service. We ordered 쭈대새 (beef intestine), 지코바 치킨 (grilled spicy chicken), 차돌박이 떡볶이 (beef brisket tteokbokki), and 닭똥집 튀김 (fried chicken gizzards), plus extra udon, ramen, and rice to round it all out. Everything paired perfectly with our Sapporo pitcher, and we especially loved that the venue is pet-friendly on Sundays. It was a fantastic bar that we'd highly recommend.“

“Did my popup there on a Saturday and it was super fun!!! The whole Verdugo team were slammed but kept it together and stayed super positive and welcoming. The clientele were very friendly and patient. Everyone was mingling and the DJ was doing pretty good. I need to go back and dance!“

“Small and cute bar in a completely unexpected place. Good vibes and good drinks. Loved naked & famous, but also enjoyed the crowd- down to earth and nice. Good little gem in the neighborhood. Something is between upscale and speakeasy dive bar, not too loud, so you can actually enjoy the conversation. Bartenders sweet and cool. Service fast and easy. Would definitely come back to check other drinks on the menu.

Also decent old fashioned“

“Nice place ro drink and have fun“

“Great local bar with a down to earth crowd. Bartenders are all great. The Photo Booth is always a great time. They have western nights on Wednesday’s which are really fun and a nice happy hour. Very queer friendly spot with diverse patrons. Delightfully free of the type of people you’d see at Bacari or 4100 Bar. Highly recommend to dimensional, chill locals.“

“One of the best bar and venues in town!“

“Had a private dinner and party here and the best time! The owner and operators were so helpful and pleasant to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special event. Wonderful sound system, lots of space to dance and plenty of space to sit! The bathrooms were clean and the drinks were strong! The outdoor patio with the fire pit table were beautiful and comforting. And the parking was easy and close. All in all excellent!“

“I want to thank Donegan for his fantastic help in finding a commercial property for lease. He is a true professional and a genuinely great person to work with. His expertise made the process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Donegan to anyone looking for commercial real estate. Thanks again, Donegan!“

“We went in search of the @losdoradosla truck and found it parked in front of La Cuevita. We ventured in at around 6p and discovered that it was still Happy Hour. My husband ordered an Old Fashion and said it was one of the best he’s ever had. I ordered a specialty vodka drink and it was refreshing. We’re definitely going back soon with friends!“

“I love this place. My Boyfriend robert works in the kitchen, he always gets me and my girls in for free and provides our drinks for free. The atmosphere is great as well as the music. I highly recommend this place.“

“Some buddies and I came here looking for craft cocktails. They did not disappoint. We ended up coming two nights in a row. If Grant is behind the bar, you’re in great hands. Let him do his thing. He’s truly a bartending gem. This place is lucky to have him.“

“Great ambiance/atmosphere inclusive of the music & friendliness/attentiveness of staff, especially the manager; appreciated the options for tea and the biscoff cookies served alongside

I would recommend this place to others and I'd be happy to come back here.“

“Got an opportunity to sit down with the manager. The place is beautifully designed, a beautiful bar with a few options for table seating.

I loved the drink selections here! There were actually a few selection for non alcoholic and I have been doing a dry January.

Bartenders were friendly and helpful to find the drink that fits the moment.

Parking is great nearby and plenty of options for walkable food nearby“

“My wife, daughter, and I went to The Echo last night to see SIAMES, and we had an absolute blast.

The venue is basically a small, dark box with a bar on the left and merch on the right as you face the stage. There is a bench wrapping around the back wall, which is great if you need a break from jumping around and screaming along with the band.

The place was sold out and packed, which is exactly what you would expect from a venue this size. If you need personal space, this probably is not your spot. But if you want an intimate, high-energy show where the crowd is right there with the band, it is a lot of fun.

The sound leveling was a little distorted at times, and it did feel like it could have used a better sound check, but SIAMES brought so much energy that it honestly did not ruin the night for us. We knew all the songs anyway and had a great time.

The staff also seemed to be enjoying the show, which added to the vibe. Drink prices were pretty much on par for the area and similar venues, but I am also old enough now that paying that much for a beer makes part of my soul leave my body. Still, if you just want something to keep your throat ready for more screaming, it does the job.

Overall, we had a fantastic night. The Echo is small, crowded, loud, and a little rough around the edges, but for the right show, that is exactly part of the charm.“

“This is a great quintessential local bar. I've been here a few times. Doesn't get too crazy. good for people watching and a great spot to listen to some tunes. Drink decent beverages and feel like a rat with your friends or by yourself.“

“Golden Gopher is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of character. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail is just right. The food and drinks are top-notch—everything is crafted with care, and you can really taste the quality. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual hangout or a special night out, Golden Gopher delivers an exceptional experience every time. Highly recommended!“

“Free chips! And ask for Reese and Ronan. Best hospitality, hands down, great recommendations for drinks. We had the Cheerios drink, the day and night, and the matcha lychee drink. You won’t go wrong with any of the craft cocktails here, they’re all good. Some of them have a “presentation” aspect that you should ask about with the waiters - it’s a pretty cool feature of this speakeasy.“

“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.“

“Beautiful location - very sophisticated and clean! Welcoming, friendly, accommodating, helpful and efficient staff! The Host, Marione (sorry if mispelled name) she just has the best, most humble and great attitude to accommodate everyone's sitting at the Tap Room. 💯 She is definitely a Lead example of what it means to serve with excellence, thank you!“

“This was my fourth time having tea here and it never disappoints. Brought a friend who experienced it for the first time and she absolutely loved it! The food was great, the tea was excellent, and the service was incredible. I can't wait to come back again ♥️“

“🙂👍 Jin does a great job!“

“I'm a regular here at Der Wolf. The bartender, Ricky, made me a very nice tropical drink that definitely hit the spot. And let's not forget Taco Tuesday - the tacos are amazing, very delicious. I highly recommend. The dungeon is also nice; it's a little bit more intimate.“

“Great Experience first time staying here“

“Good music great to celebrate a birthday 🥳“

“This place really has its own atmosphere. The overall vibe is great, the alcohol selection is solid, and the bartenders are friendly and welcoming. What I liked most is that the place feels relaxed and comfortable. It does not have that aggressive energy some bars have, and it definitely does not feel like the kind of place where people are looking for trouble. The atmosphere inside feels warm and friendly.

The main downside for me was the music. It would be much better if the DJ played something that matched the actual mood of the place. When there are only two or three tables occupied, the music is still blasting as if the place is packed and everyone is waiting for a huge drop. That feels a bit out of sync with the otherwise chill and enjoyable atmosphere.

Overall, it is a nice place with a lot going for it, but the music choice and volume could really make the experience much better.“

“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.“

“Pickle Beer, its what you should be getting when you come here. Maybe what added to this experience was when I had parked in the neighborhood behind the bars alley, in walking up the front entrance off of Los Feliz, the Pickle Beer van pulled up at the same time. That just peeked my intrigue right there and then. Plus, how can you not stop by a place named like this.

This is the East LA location as they have one located in Venice, CA as well.“

“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.“

“I have so much fun and I feel so respected every I show up with my friends, BUT ALEX always makes it that much special for friends and I…. We will definitely be back because of Alex, we’ll attend, he was making sure we were good the whole night!!! Thank you sweetheart“

“Nice hangout place if u use karaoke- great food too!“

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

“Anarchy Library has a cool rock vibe. The cover is only $5 and drinks are cheap. The music is good. But it is very crowded with no space to dance. The men's bathroom needs more urinals and dividers. It is not enough for the crowd. Good prices but the space and bathroom need work.“

“This cheerful spot, inside a Koreatown office building, is a hidden gem. Everything is made fresh - there's not only Korean fare like bulgogi and beef sushi rolls but tacos, sandwiches, quesadillas, and much more. I especially like their bulgogi wrap. They're open late and serve beer, wine, and cocktails. Five stars!“

“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.“

“My husband and I were visiting the LA area last week. We walked into Mi Piace - it was Monday, they were open when so many places weren’t. So glad we did. It was fabulous-great food, fair prices and a wonderful server. Try the minestrone. Amazing. Salad was great, too.“

“Amazing food, cozy atmosphere, and excellent service! Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience! 😛“

“Martinis have hair in the vodka. Not good for business. Bartender is rude“

“Doug, the owner/lead bartender is the HOMIE and will turn on karaoke if you ask. Never overly crowded!“

“Great food. I ordered the chicken blt and chips and salsa. The salsa wasn't hot enough but ooh well it was good enough. Andrew the bartender was amazing. The karoke was nice. My only problem is the karoke host did not at any time wipe down any mics after countless people used it and with the drinks flowing and people having a good time like me that made me nervous. I wanted so bad to get up there and sing.“

“Neat appearance and delicious food“

“Fridays night are the best to spend time with my friends highly.“
