European vibe bar in the middle of DTLA. Very cozy! Great cocktail drinks, baristas are knowledgeable with liquor and alcohol! Check them out

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!

Just rolling through to do a shout out to how awesome James(the security) is & all he does around here.

The venue is so nice. Service was slow to start but picked up towards the end when they turned over bartenders. They had an all DJ crew tonight that was so nice! Music style was 2000s R&B

Bar Franca has the aesthetics but not quite the structure. The dance room is unnervingly small through a long hallway. The drinks are fine, though I like the option of a cheap wine for those not into expensive DTLA cocktails. Service is friendly. The bar area itself is jam packed in the most uncomfortable and unsexy way. If you are a dtla casual, then maybe this is for you but otherwise would not go out of my way for this.

Came here for Divorce Party's NYE celebration (not just for divorcees, but I think it is more divorcee-friendly than most places?). We paid $15 for tickets through Eventbrite and were in the door after 1 minute (though this may have been due to the rain). We got 3 of their cocktails--all were great and reasonably priced (~$16) for NYE! The bartenders were very generous. One of them accidentally knocked over a glass that spilled on me and offered my partner and I a free shot each! Another time, my partner and I ordered an espresso martini, and they made us an extra without asking. On top of that, they also had an ice luge that we took a shot from, as well as a complimentary champagne toast at midnight! We really enjoyed the crowd here, as we have been looking for a female-friendly queer bar (though it is not at all exclusively female-friendly) to go to for a while. We also loved DJ Couples Therapy! There is also a small room in the back separate from the main bar area. Would love to come back on a normal night to see how things are.

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.

Awesome cocktail bar in DTLA with a relaxed vibe and exceptional craft cocktails. Located a stones throw away from the Regent Theatre, lending itself for a great 1st stop when catching a live performance in the area.

I love this place every time I come for divorce I just love sitting and vibing out ! Beautiful scenery love the location different and personal!

The bartenders here act like I'm barging into their living room bothering them to make me a drink. Super inattentive and act so high and mighty by simple requests. Too bad the bartenders kill the vibe cause I like that the bar is queer friendly.
