First time in LA and extremely disappointed. I visited The Association with family and friends and opened a tab with the bartender, making it very clear that I wanted it left open. When I went back for another round, a different bartender had no issue finding me yet later, the original bartender suddenly claimed he never had my card and insisted he’d already closed me out, which was absolutely untrue.
He was confidently lying to my face while clearly not in full control (he had been giving out free shots to customers). After asking the other bartenders, they “magically” found my card and tried to say it was turned in from the floor. I watched them pull it directly from the slot where open tab cards are kept.
This kind of dishonesty and lack of professionalism is unacceptable and reflects terribly on the establishment. I’ve never experienced anything like this before.

The Association is always a vibe and they did not disappoint. I had the pleasure of reserving a section for myself and my family to enjoy the one of a kind drinks and dope DJ set. Highly recommend The Association for your next night out. Use Open Table to reserve.

We were there when they opened and there was NO DJ! DJ didn't show up til 45min later. There was no one in this place,it was dead,so needless to say we left at 11:30,BUT the bartender was Amazeballs!

Best Drinks in Los Angeles. The bartenders take their time to prepare the fantastic cocktails. I’ve also done a few cocktail classes here that are very fun.
I had a reservation on Saturday, 12/28, and we arrived at 9 pm, and the guy at the main door was nice and very informative. Once he knew my party was big, he gave me a bigger section. I had about 50 people show up, and even though not everyone fit in our section, there was enough space to stand around. The first dj was great, played a variety of music, enough to keep us on our feet and dance, but once the 2nd dj came up, it was more chill, not our type of music but it was ok. The service was OK. It did take a long time to get our drinks, but the ladies did their best to provide fast service. The drinks were not expensive at all and they were actually good. I don't know if I would go again just because of the music being played in the second half.

Hadn't been here in years but happy to see it's still a vibe. Came with a party of 20 and we were able to reserve a section easily so that was a plus!

Not the vibe I was looking for. It's more of a club than a speakeasy.
