“Cool little bar, not a lot of room, but I think this is the type of spot you pop in on the way some where else so not a lounge type of bar. We met up with friends here before a concert and its was nice. Bar tenders were very attentive and made sure we were taken care of while we were there. I ordered an espresso martini, superb! Almost got another one but didn't wanna go overboard before the concert.“

“The OffBeat is very on beat!

This bar nightclub in Highland Park hosts a wide array of events including karaoke nights, drag shows, live band concerts, and more.

I attended an event on a Sunday, Bear Garden: LABussy, a vendor mart and body positive event. Drink are good and the signature cocktails are unique for sure. There's a bunch of seating inside and some limited seating on their patio.

They open at 5pm daily, but for Bear Garden they opened a little earlier at 4pm. So events have covers, but they're reasonable.

Restrooms are clean and easy to access.

Parking is street and can be a journey as they like to say. Service is great and the bartenders are outstanding.

An open to all cool divey nightlcub bar meets event space.“

NoBAR

NoBAR Bar • $
10622 Magnolia Blvd, North Hollywood - 6.33 miles

“Love this NoHo hidden gem of a bar, very local and passer through friendly.

Parking is the biggest obstacle in the area as it's only street, but it's worth it. Great drinks, prices, places to sit, hang, and enjoy an afternoon or night.

The jukebox is digital and stacked with everything your heart could desire. Flat screens in the main bar area.

Huge spacious patio with picnic style tables or a few couches.

Water dispensers are usually available out here as well.

Pool table + indoor lounge area that is first come, first serve unless there's a party who has reserved this area.

Michelle is the coolest bartender. Very go with the flow.

Drink specials daily, typically on Whiskey.

Open every day of the week from 5pm to close.

Note: If their door is locked at or just after 5pm give it a knock. They might wait to open it if there's no one around for safety reasons.“

“The kind of staff with a good sense of humor who remember your name, this bar has everything: dark sexy lighting, a jukebox pumped with hits, movies on the TV and a vibe that goes unmatched anywhere else I’ve been in Cali. I love bars, I love drinking, and I LOVE The Drawing Room! I sought this place out as a daytime alcoholic haunt but will return specifically for the staff and the terrific vibes.“

The Echo Dive Bar • $$

“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🤍)“

Feather It in IPA

“I came here on a whim after wanting to avoid the crowds at Zebulon. Honestly this bar is a hidden gem, and thank god it hasn’t been flipped upside down and turned into condos. The outside is a neon lit heaven from the 1960s. You enter and the staff are warm from the get go. There is a left and a right side to the bar: The right side is a sizable dance floor complete with a gigantic disco ball, Dj booth, a couple leather booths, and panther sculptures. They played disco and funk this very day and the crowd was diverse and cool. The left side is the bar where there a probably 5 or six extremely comfortable retro leather booths. They have a great tequila selection but you can also order a $4 Tecate. My kind of joint full of vibe that i can’t wait to try again!“

“OK. The staff are awesome. If I’m in Echo Park, OBVIOUSLY, I am gonna stop by Little Joy. Sometimes Tina DJs and she plays stuff like China by Red Rockers and that is just amazing. But what keeps me coming back is Wednesday night karaoke with KJ Jonathan. Every Wednesday from 10:30pm to 1:30am, KJ Jonathan brings his awesome, sweet, hilarious sensibilities to Little Joy and makes all your karaoke dreams come true. Like karaoke? You owe it to yourself to call in sick on Thursdays and make it happen. DO IT.“

“I usually come here for their Blue Mondays nights, and the venue never disappoints. The two stages and the bar you can sometimes sneak into each have their own distinct vibe. The music inside is always great, and the outdoor sets change every week.

The only downsides are the bouncers, who always seem a bit irritated, and the fact that I once had my phone stolen from my pocket here — something I’ve heard continues to be a problem. Still, it’s a solid spot overall. Just remember to bring cash for the entry.“
