Such a cool bar!! Cocktails are phenomenal and the atmosphere is always super rad. They change up seasonally which keeps it fresh and new. Shout out to Katie, the best of the best! Rachel was my bartender and was amazing too.

Visited for their Christmas pop up and had a few of drinks on their special menu. Our bartender made some delicious potent cocktails. Their hospitality is top notch, they greet you when you walk in and on your way out. Great bar all around.

The bartender, an older lady with glasses, made me and my friends so uncomfortable. When we first walked in, I immediately grabbed a table for us while my friend waited at the bar. She came over to clear the table and even though she didn't say hello or acknowledge me at all I thanked her which she responded with barking at me to show my ID at the bar. Not an issue at all just the delivery seemed harsh like she was angry at me lol. Throughout the night she had issues with small things we did like I placed my water bottle on the table instead of my lap. Vibes are everything at bars and there's plenty in LA that don't feel like you're being watched by a tyrannical cop looking for a reason to kick you out. I had been excited to show my friend this cool bar he'd never been to and it's a shame this was his first impression. We left to the Whiskey bar down the street where I placed my water bottle on the counter and had a pleasant conversation with the bartender.

The drinks, service, and overall vibes were absolutely unmatched! Such a stunning place with an incredible atmosphere. The two bartenders working that night were so friendly and fun, making the experience even better. I also love that each month they choose a different charity or nonprofit to support—this month’s cause was helping bats!

The mermaid really is my kind of place I usually go there with my friends on the weekends.but what truly makes it stand out is the amount of events it has my favorite is karaoke(I haven’t had the chance to sing a song but one day I’ll get there)every time I hear there’s a event I gather my posse and ride to the mermaid.I also like to watch the movies that play on tv while I drink my beer I’m hoping one day cider beer makes a comeback to the draft beer menu again but other then that the mermaid rocks

No more kitchen!!!! Boooo!!!! 💔
Jolly Rodgers’s Don’t taste the same anymore

My Review was from 2 years ago:
Small but not a hole in the wall. Great for a date night if you’re there early. The drinks are creative and the food is fantastic. I recommend the jolly rodger drink and Korean wings 🙌🏾

Worst drink I ever had in my life. It’s probably cause I didn’t have crazy blue hair or piercings. I specifically told the bar tender I wanted a drink that doesn’t taste strongly of alcohol that also looks pretty. She literally gave me a drink with straight whiskey. This makes me hate bars even more she gave me attitude when I told her about the issue. Rather make my own cocktail with a cheap Spotify playlist at home

Jasmine San Nicolas

My favorite dive bar in town that actually makes great cocktails. Best price in town as well!

Vibes were good, bartenders were attentive and quick.
I came here around 11 pm.
Ordered 2 rounds of 2 mer mai tai s, and was charged different prices. First round was paid in cash and second time to close out a tab, there was a 7 dollar difference, i felt weird paying a different price for the same drink

An absolute gem. Great vibe any day of the week. Very fun decor and chill staff. I would totally recommend.

I was just there and was denied entry. The security said I was intoxicated... I had no drinks prior to my arrival and was judged based on his knowledge... I usually go here and the bartender knows me but I couldn't speak to her ... since he said I was drunk... I think the security needs more training on his judgment skills.
