About Bar Franca

Bar Franca is a restaurant with a lively atmosphere, offering excellent service and good drinks at reasonable prices. Located in downtown LA, it is a neighborhood gem with sultry charm and stylish decor, creating a perfect setting for an intimate night out. The seating is cozy, and unique decor, such as hand-drawn art and neon cherries, adds to its appeal. The bar is shaped like a tunnel, giving it an intimate feel, and the craft cocktails are meticulously prepared, with options like the delicious Amaretto Sour that tastes like candy. Despite the lack of a clear sign, it's a popular spot found by looking for the neon cherries. Parking can be a challenge, so it's best to arrive early or be prepared to walk. The service can be slow at times, but it picks up towards the end of the night. The restaurant often features an all DJ crew, adding to the vibrant atmosphere with curated beats, though some nights may feature a DJ simply playing from a playlist. There are also free live jazz nights, enhancing the unique experience. The venue includes a tiny room in the back used as a club, which can get crowded and may lead to less clean facilities. Each visit feels like a rediscovery of what makes LA's nightlife captivating, supporting the unique character of the community.

Beautiful bar, great bartenders (who make GREAT drinks), and even an adorable doggie who wanders around making everyone smile 😊

Good drinks. Friendly service

A slice of Paris in downtown L.A. Friendly owner, beautifully designed bar with fantastic wall art. Creative drinks by at a reasonable price.
This place is a real local gem and should be on everyone's list on a pub crawl in DTLA.
