Absolutely the worst bartenders I’ve ever met in my life.. and I’m a bartender myself. They would much rather be drinking behind the bar or flirting with the nearest highland park hipster than to do their job. I forgot her name but the female bartender covered with tattoos.. yikes! What a disaster

first time. i went around opening hours on a rainy new year's eve. posted up with a book, and took in the scene as the bar filled up. i enjoyed the paloma, a happy hour drink, the fresh citrus taste offset by tajin at the rim. lovely. a nice crowd as well. music on point. heard the originals of some black moon and tribe called quest classic samples. that was nice. i'm a brown skinned lady. for what it's worth, it was a diverse enough crowd that i felt comfortable. of course, one gets that same brooklyn feel, where you know that gentrification has eviscerated the soul of the neighborhood to a large extent. but there i was, pretty and cozy for a time at the bar. lucky.

Good beats. There’s vinyl on the walls. Friendly bartenders and the drinks are damn tasty. I like the crowd. Good vibes. Moved to LA from SF and used to work in the club/bar industry. This has that urban touch. Def reminds me of the bars in the mission but nicer.

Really cool spot! Stopped in after a show at Lodge Room and was met with great cocktails in an absolutely awesome setting. The ambiance was perfection and our bartender was both helpful and incredibly friendly. Would love to return!

I’m really not the type to leave reviews but I’m somewhat disgruntled by the way I was just treated at this establishment. Someone speaking English in a non-standard dialect is not a reason to stop serving them after a few drinks. I was not drunk and slurring my words. I’m simply from Georgia; the syllables tend to string together in such a way. My sincerest apologies for not code switching during a casual night out. Pro tip for anyone (esp. non yt) coming to this bar that doesn’t sound like Brody Jenner: you might wanna do the voice Lakeith Stanfield did in ‘Sorry to Bother You’ so that you can pay $20 for as many mid ass cocktails as you might desire without being cut off and lectured. Be yourself and your money may or may not be accepted. They “deserve the right to refuse service to anyone” was what I was told. Me being barely buzzed and sufficiently articulate at that point didn’t seem to matter. Reality be damned. Trump’s America, I suppose. This was a few moments ago by the way. Would an overly-temulent individual be in a state of mind to type out such an essay? Rhetorical question. History will absolve me.

I've never had food here. However, the atmosphere is good every time I've been there. The service is good.

Went here on a Saturday evening. Parking was hard to find. You'll have to drive around a little to find stret parking. I parked 3 blocks away.
There's no signage telling you the location, but you'll know when you arrive. Dim-lit, wall full of vinyl and lively environment with people conversing. A DJ is playing different records. The DJ the night we went was playing his personal 45' collection and he had some really cool music to play. Everything from rock, funk, jazz, European pop was playing. The cocktails were amazing. Reasonably priced for the environment you're experiencing.
Overall, a great experience. The lounge is owned by the owners of Stones Throw Records (which are located upstairs), and they did a great job with it. Definitely a great place to bring friends or a double date. Not intimate for a date, although there are lounge seats and couches towards to back to hang out at. Either way, worth going.
If I could give one extra star I would, everything was point. Keep it comin’.

Great little spot in the heart of Highland Park. Dimly lit with an intimate chill vibe. The vinyl theme this bar portrays is cool and laidback and have DJs playing on the regular in the evenings. Only came for a drink, but would be a cool location to come with friends or a significant other and vibe out the groovy tunes they play. Drinks were also top tier as well as their beer on draft. A lot of other spots nearby if you want to bar hop or grab more drinks and food after.

Vibe was off the charts, the dj was putting on a master class. 10/10 can't wait to go back to chill and listen to some music.
Super chill spot! Music was cool!
