My first visit to Franca was pleasant since the service was great and would like to return during my next trip to DTLA.

The bartender tonight (very friendly and accommodating) just made me the most delicious Amaretto Sour - tastes like candy! Just a touch of bourbon in it - so yummy!

no comment on food or drink, we went for an event, there is a tiny room in the back used as a club, the dj for the night we went was not really a dj, she was just letting a playlist play all the musics till the end! so many ppl in that tiny room, the bathroom was kinda dirty which is no surprised when theres only one per gender and so many ppl!

Got my bill @ saw that there was a $2 upcharge for some reason & when I asked the bartender about it - they said it was bc I asked for soda/tonic?
So on top of my $12 well gin, I'm expected to pay for the soda as well? I also bartend one block away and have never heard of this before so just wondering if anyone else has had this experience here?

The promotion on the Instagram reel for last nights event was more exciting than the actual event ?, very disappointed, the service was good, pricey though, and the second drink I was served tasted awful.

Bar Franca in downtown LA is the epitome of a neighborhood gem. The ambiance exudes a sultry charm, with dim lighting and stylish decor that create a perfect setting for an intimate night out. The craft cocktails are meticulously prepared and delightfully inventive, offering a perfect blend of classic and contemporary flavors that never fail to impress. Every visit is enhanced by fantastic DJs who know just how to set the mood with their curated beats, making the atmosphere both vibrant and inviting. It's vital to support the few remaining treasures like Bar Franca, as they enrich our community with their unique character, exceptional offerings, and the kind of local spirit that makes our city special. Each visit feels like a rediscovery of what makes LA's nightlife so captivating.

Came here for a Soul Therapy event. Great vibes, excellent service. Drinks were good and fair priced, seating was cool and intimate. Would come back again for sure.
Parking: Street parking is challenging. Come early or be prepared to walk a few blocks.
A nice, clean bar located right next to the Regent Theatre. It's small in the front room with a dancing area in the back. Wonderful bartenders!

At night the lighting stays dim and gives a warm glow over the "shotgun" style bar, with natural light pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the front entrance. On the night I visited (pre-COVID) it was quiet, and you could barely make out the murmurs of the other guests' conversations. The added plants and various sofas make the bar that much cozier. There definitely aren't many bars like this in LA, especially in this area.
