Im a local and I like this bar because it’s close and I enjoy the lighting/decor. But the bartenders are never friendly. For the most part I don’t expect much. But every time me and my friend come we get this type of annoyed/rude vibe from them. I’ve brushed it off as them having a bad night. However, I’ve begun to notice that they smile and have small talk with the other customers.

What a great new bar to the LA scene! It's a lively place that can definitely get crowded but with the great bartenders, you still get a drink promptly! Will definitely have this in my rotation of places to go have a good time... shout out to Paige for being an awesome host and slinger of booze!

And friend and I decided to go and pregame at this bar this past weekend. I was sooooooo excited to come here since I am newer to the neighborhood. Security was sooo nice and had an inviting attitude.We walk in and it was very packed. It’s a Saturday night and was expected because of such. The decor was so nice.There were a lot of people hanging out at the bar. There was one guy just lingering at the bar babysitting a drink who turn around and saw me and took up the extra space so I could not order. I asked him to move so I could order and he became very passively aggressive with me sliding his empty cup towards me. The waitresses seemed to be very impatient as we asked her what was her favorite drink and bar favorites. She was not receptive nor did she have a can do attitude. We finally decided on the iced drinks. They were below mid. I understand the hype because it’s a bar but I don’t get it. I tried to give this place a chance and wanted to like it but like the reviews from all of the other people of color, everything seems to be true.

Affordable great drinks with better staff. Amazing country night every Wednesday!
Perfectly fine drinks, but was treated like filth upon close. Politeness goes a long way. A perfectly lovely night ruined by a complete and utter disrespect for a customer. I will not be returning.

We went for some drinks, the place is super cozy and fun at the same time, it was a little loud at first but then we found a special private place with our own dimmer for the Christmas lights, and we could talk, laugh and have a spectacular time!!! Service was cool and cocktails were just perfect. Many thanks !

fun and affordable drink menu, nice interiors, friendly staff. shim sham would benefit from hiring more local bartenders, or curating more diverse/ inclusive nights, since the clientele doesn’t really reflect the surrounding neighborhood. maybe it’ll take some time, I’m hopeful!
