“New in town, so I drop by on a weekday to check out the scene but to my dismay I lost my driver's license/id and tried to use my expired id. The security guard follows the rules but still made me feel welcome so I respect that. She allowed me to come in but I couldn't buy alcohol.Bartenter was polite. Overall this looks like a good place to have fun on weekends. I'll be back when I fix my ID issue thanks.“

Drawing Room Cocktail Bar • $
1800 Hillhurst Ave, Los Angeles

“Since moving from the East Coast over five years ago, my partner, our friends, and I have been coming to the Drawing Room almost every week. This bar is truly such a delight to be at! I have been coming every other day now that we are in the NBA finals!

The bartenders are always on point with the drinks and do an incredible job of making not only us, but all of the patrons, feel welcome and comfortable. I have never had a bad experience with any of the bartenders at this place! We always seem to stop by when Ashley is working, and that's no coincidence. She greets us the moment we walk in, offers snacks during major sporting events, and creates such a fun atmosphere that we never want to leave.

Ashley remembers our drink orders every time, is incredibly charismatic, and has a way of making the entire bar excited to be there. You can tell how much people love her—customers walk in, immediately give her a hug, and are genuinely excited to see she's working. It's wonderful to see such a strong local community gather here.

We can't wait to spend the summer at the Drawing Room. Thank you for being one of the most amazing neighborhood bars in Los Angeles!“

The Echo Dive Bar • $$
1822 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles

“My wife, daughter, and I went to The Echo last night to see SIAMES, and we had an absolute blast.

The venue is basically a small, dark box with a bar on the left and merch on the right as you face the stage. There is a bench wrapping around the back wall, which is great if you need a break from jumping around and screaming along with the band.

The place was sold out and packed, which is exactly what you would expect from a venue this size. If you need personal space, this probably is not your spot. But if you want an intimate, high-energy show where the crowd is right there with the band, it is a lot of fun.

The sound leveling was a little distorted at times, and it did feel like it could have used a better sound check, but SIAMES brought so much energy that it honestly did not ruin the night for us. We knew all the songs anyway and had a great time.

The staff also seemed to be enjoying the show, which added to the vibe. Drink prices were pretty much on par for the area and similar venues, but I am also old enough now that paying that much for a beer makes part of my soul leave my body. Still, if you just want something to keep your throat ready for more screaming, it does the job.

Overall, we had a fantastic night. The Echo is small, crowded, loud, and a little rough around the edges, but for the right show, that is exactly part of the charm.“

3514 W 3rd St, Los Angeles

“Very cute hole in the wall or what you would call a dive bar! Very small and intimate definitely a good place to go if there's just two or three of you not really a place for a large group. They have some tables as well as a pool table, the drink selection is well-priced you can get a beer and a shot for 9$ which is amazing definitely not top shelf but for today's economy it's great also Mari is amazing ❤️“

Feather It in IPA

“I came here on a whim after wanting to avoid the crowds at Zebulon. Honestly this bar is a hidden gem, and thank god it hasn’t been flipped upside down and turned into condos. The outside is a neon lit heaven from the 1960s. You enter and the staff are warm from the get go. There is a left and a right side to the bar: The right side is a sizable dance floor complete with a gigantic disco ball, Dj booth, a couple leather booths, and panther sculptures. They played disco and funk this very day and the crowd was diverse and cool. The left side is the bar where there a probably 5 or six extremely comfortable retro leather booths. They have a great tequila selection but you can also order a $4 Tecate. My kind of joint full of vibe that i can’t wait to try again!“

“Loved this place, the vibes were awesome, people were fun. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because they have a Spanish name and have Virgin Mary candles but didn't play 1 Spanish song. Not 1 Bad Bunny, Selena, Pit Bull, nothing! We were there 4 hours and not 1 song to use your hips for. Other than that loved it and the wine was delicious.“
