unfortunately bad pours on well drinks, as a 20+ year bartender I know my counts, the gals on this night were definitely shorting me and my friends, there was a 15 dollar minimum charge which I understand on the 4th of July, but felt a bit silly when I received maybe an oz of alcohol for my gin sodas. Shots were fine, but in a place like this if your bartenders are free pouring you have to test them. I spent 30 dollars on 2oz of well gin. Good vibe, nice neighborhood bar, staff needs work. Heard the food is fantastic

A great little bar where everybody knows your name. One of the gems of Los Angeles, this is one of those friendly bars where everyone is super chill and there’s no pretension.

The food is amazing tbh. Surprisingly good. The fried are crispy and crunchy with a hint of rosemary. The karaoke is fun and laid back. The people are warm. The bathrooms could use a little updating but work…sometimes. Parking can be an issue. Wish they had something worked out with a parking lot where you can park for a couple bucks.

Overall this place is a great place for a birthday or when you just want to get out of the house and sing a few tunes.

Definitely a strong spot for a personality - with a babadook waving a rainbow pride on their chalkboard and a cool skeleton. They have tall 10$ cocktails served in shakers which I enjoyed - the micheladas and coffee cocktails however weren't all too memorable. So good atmosphere, with standard drinks

Loved coming here when I lived in the neighborhood. I enjoyed talking to the regulars outside who are super nice and chill :)

Don’t go here….

Tried to order a drink at the bar and the bartender was playing with a dog as I waited. While waiting I got called for my song and didn’t get to order anything. No biggie I wasn’t tripping. After my song I went to go hang with my friends. The door guy proceeded to come to me and say ā€œif you’re going to go to a bar you should order somethingā€ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ We stayed 5 more minutes before leaving. As we left the door guy said something snarky to my friend.

Drinks were on point! We sang karaoke and the Dj was awesome. She was getting the crowds singing with her too. We just got drinks and no food.

It feels like LA even without Koreans. Marsit is cocktails and beer 愱愱

Great place to just go for a drink and hang out with friends or coworkers. Fun karaoke nights. I didn’t give it full stairs due to no crowd control. If you are going to be a messy drunk don’t go here. A female patron was just off and she acted like every guy at the bar was into her or trying to get with her??ā€ā™€ļø. Came with a bunch of friends and no one told her to just enjoy the show and act less arrogant towards the guys there when performing. I just looks bad when a girl is worse than guys.

No Metro stops nearby, no bike parking, and tough to find car storage. Bar food is passable. Atmosphere is pretty great, though.

This place has great vibes, a fantastic kitchen, karaoke, and the best crew of bartenders in town. I’ve been coming here for a couple years now and it’s my favorite bar in LA. God bless R Bar.
