This bar is awful. The drinks are overpriced. The parking is bad. It's insanely loud.

While the drinks may have been a bit on the expensive side, the quick and friendly service, along with the exceptional quality of the drinks, made it a worthwhile investment.

Went on a Saturday night. Doesn't get going til after 10:30, got there early but LOVED the DJ spinning everything from KAYTRAMINE to classic hip hop and in between.

We came here around 9:30 pm on a Saturday, just in time for the tail end of happy hour! They have 2-for-1 cocktails from 8-10 pm every day.. Such a steal. I got the Sippin on Gin and Juice, and my friend got the Miami Mojito. The decor in here is fun, casual, and energized with neon lights and a disco ball. The bar was full, but the rest of the place was pretty empty when we were here. The crowd was diverse, and the staff were very kind and friendly. Great find! Parking was easy in the lot outside as well.

Awesome bar. Was there last night for my cousins birthday, had a blast! Drinks are good but expensive. The vibe/people were so nice. Security guards were even dancing to the music. Cool place, will most likely return.

Wanted to like this bar but had a few hiccups that I could not look past. First off my cousin and I got there just before 11 and the seats at the bar were all put away. We asked for a couple of chairs and were told to get there earlier. Then a couple that had chairs at the bar left, when we went to grab the seats the bartender or bar boy , not sure who he was , took them away and didn't let the two of us sit down. Other than that the music was good, had a decent mix. Drinks were good, pricey for sure, but good. Guess a little too good because when I checked my charges the next day they charged me twice for my last drink. Definitely keep your receipts and check your bill. If I do go back I will be using cash . Also no heels since seats are not guaranteed.

A little pricey for drinks. But service was fast and drinks were great! So the price was worth it!
What a wonderful place! Our family was looking for a nice place to sit down and have some drinks together and we were so fortunate to stumble upon A Simple Bar! Our bartender Sergio went above and beyond to make our day memorable. We received the best Margaritas we have EVER had in our lives. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and we will remember this forever! Thank you everyone at A Simple Bar!

This place is awesome!Everyone was warm and welcoming...including the doorman, bartender, and security officer. The bartender had a heavy pour, advised everyone when happy hour was coming to a close, and even gave me a free tequila shot when he found out I was celebrating my birthday! The dj was good.The single person bathroom was decent and there was enough parking in the lot. No complaints here! Just can't figure out why the place wasn't packed...

I attended on a Friday night. My friends and I had an amazing time. It's a small establishment, but has ample seating and a big enough dance floor for dancing. The DJ played a mix of hip hop and reggaeton. The music is great, the crowd is diverse with a good welcoming vibe. The bartender was very nice and friendly. They don't have food here, but the restaurant next door has quick bites. Loved my experience and I'll go back again.

Good place to party, really packed on fridays, cheap drinks that get the job done. Staff is friendly too.

An awesome hidden gem. Craft cocktails are on point every time. Fresh ingredients. Service is always top notch. Happy hour is a steal. Not to mention... SO CLEAN. Well taken care of. No sticky floors or that musty bar smell. This place smells good and that counts for a lot these days. Victor and his associates have always taken care of us. A true Universal City gem. Highly recommend for a cocktail.
