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.

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!

Cute spot, good drinks, best during the week
Chill bar and vibes.
Drinks are delish, ambience is lit, DJ's spin some Awesome jams! Everyone walks through in style!
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.

Very nice.
I love the place,?. Above all, the people who work there are very friendly.
Cute Cocktails. Good Menu. Lovely Sapphic Setting. But only 1 bathroom ?! ??? otherwise, could’ve been 5 stars.
Great DTLA bar for drinks and conversation, spacious, and a great DJ Tammaso on Friday night.
This little dive bar is so hip. Their drinks are fire. I hope to visit again soon.
