“It is a spacious place, with several tables, clean, with toilets, with plenty of parking.Some staff is not so friendly, they have specials almost all the time and if you sit near the bar they have more specials, they also have a variety of alcoholic drinks, they have beer on tap.The first time we went, they were more pleasant, attentive and even the dishes were a little larger, the second time they were less friendly, the dishes smaller and the service a little slow. So you have to go with patience and without expectations.“
“This is a very cool place. The food is delicious and the service is spot on. They have a motorcycle theme, and they have motorcycles on display, they have a store on premises to got swag. They have a tattoo parlor and a barber shop. It's really a cool place to go.“
“Always good. It's just always good. Great environment, relaxed but it you want to be fancy you'll still fit right in. Good service, great drinks, good food. Superb people watching. Everyone's preferred first date spot. If you arrive early you can visit the garden and say hello to the chickensParking is always the worst so be prepared to pay to park whether you park in a lot or valet just be aware that the valets are going to park your car on the street same as everyone else ?I wish they were open in the morning for coffee, even if it was just a little cart with simple coffee and pastries only.Parking: Parking is always the worst so be prepared to pay to park whether you park in a lot or valet just be aware that the valets are going to park your car on the street same as everyone else ?Everywhere in the vicinity is like that, the curse of a cool neighborhood. And also the city rezoned the parking and reduced the numbers of spots to maybe 1/2 or 1/3 of what there was and made huge unnecessary red zones everywhere, but that's another story ?☕“
“Cute little bar in the neighborhood! As a fellow yelper said, a great place to do before going "out out" if you know what that means. Neat, modern, kinda dark, good mix of people. Come for the drinks, stay for the interesting people you might meet. This unassuming bar was a pleasant surprise and I'd come back again.“
“Really delicious food. Tiny outside eating area. Valet parking, which is good because this isn't a neighborhood where you'd like to be walking around at night getting to your car.Kid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Great place. Wide variety of Craft Beer from local highly rated breweries such as Green Cheek (one of my favorites). Service from all staff on point, always willing to assist with beer related questions, if not too familiar with the craft life, Stephen is always helpful and pleasant. If you prefer something off beer, the sake margarita is a must.“
“1st Tryout After Seeing Rave Reviews. They Serve St Menu Only. Tae (A Bridge Over Paddy & Fields) / Yang (A Lotus Flower In The Mud) / Saeng (Life Begins) / Dae (Sometimes Nomadic) / Wang (Remain In Between) / Wang (Remain In Between) / Byung (Finally Realize) / Jeol (Wait For Another w Doubt). Beef Short Ribs Stand Out. Overall , It Was A Very Good Food & Enjoyable Experience.“
“What am amazing space. The picture here does not do it justice. The menu is creative and everything was delicious. The drinks are primary Gin and Whiskey based and were strong. Definitely not for the weak at heart. I appreciated all the attention to detail. It's probably one of the most beautiful places to dine in LA.“
“I made a Resy reservation to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Street parking was accessible and convenient a few steps away from the location. Once we walked in, I was greeted by first name by the host behind the bar who directed us to follow Lisa, our server, to our table for two in the garden patio. Once seated, she asked if we'd like to turn on the heated lamp, which we appreciated. We ordered the Hunan BBQ Pork Ribs (so meaty and smoky), Chilled Sesame Peanut Noodles (which my wife commented would be an ideal dish during a warm summer night), Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi (served on a toasted, pillowy brioche bun), paired with a side of the Shoestring Fries. Lastly we enjoyed an unexpected gift from the kitchen - Shanghai Triple Onion Noodles, which was a warm dish in contrast to the other cold noodles. As a thoughtful gesture, the bartender, offered us two glasses of champagne to acknowledge our occasion. To cap off our unforgettable meal, we ordered the Hochija Tres Leches and Honeymoon Bread Pudding. The perfect conclusion to a delicious and well-thought out dinner. For a location with a history dating back to the prohibition era (informed by Lisa), I'm glad to see it's continuing it's life as a bar with an innovative kitchen. As I mentioned last night, the dinner was great but the service was even better! Thank you for making our anniversary dinner memorable :)“
“This place is great for a big group hang out or celebration. The food is amazing and drinks are super good (and strong). Very affordable as well. The person who took our order was very friendly and attentive. Overall, my first experience with this place was great and I'd go back again.“
“Met Anderson Paak the last time I was here, but I’d already dubbed this place my favorite local spot long before I danced with my idol under the disco ball.Strictly vinyl. Great cocktail menu.Only negative: their digital branding needs work. Kinda wish they’d hire me to curate their social media. ?“
“One of my favorite restaurants in LA. The food is consistently great, the bar program is creative, the service is friendly, and the vibe is chill and fun (especially on the patio and at the bar). Unlike almost all restaurants serving small plates they do not make you order everything at once or rush out the food, so meals here feel luxuriously relaxed.You can't really go wrong with the menu but in particular do not miss the boquerones y mantequilla, which is a brilliant dish.“
“Kinda fell in love with the place last night. Saw a perfect gig (Rose City Band), the staff was lovely, the music was on point and exactly what I'm into, the record store's great, it's all damn great and I'd make it my second home if I lived in LA.“
“Funky hip joint in a unsuspecting neighborhood. Saw some celebs in the wild here but won't mention names so people don't go hunting them down.Nice big open space to meet with friends or make new ones. The menus for food is magic but not the food. Had the chicken fingers and man they were delicious! Only down side is the parking. Take the gamble to drive or just take an Uber and be responsible. Overall a cool spot!“
“Loved the underground vibes. It was so dark and exciting just getting to your seat. Music was cool but not too loud, which was great for connecting to your date via witty banter and conversation. Sitting at the bar made you feel like the bartender was there just for you. Drinks were balanced, well presented, and delicious.“
“I'm a frequent visitor to this restaurant because I appreciate the quality of the food and the excellent value for the price. From the flavorful Angry Chicken to the delectable Kimchi Fried Rice, every dish I've tried has been delicious, with generous portion sizes.“
“This place is amazing. My friend made reservations for us about a month in advance. We were seated right away. We had the options of either seafood or beef menu. We choose the beef menu. This is my first dining experience so I was looking forward to everything. This was a unique 12 course experience and the staff here did an amazing job. Every item that came out was very good. Tucked inside a hotel you wouldn't know about this place but I am glad my friend found it. We now made it a yearly thing to come back here and have dinner here now“
“This has been always been one of my favorite bars in LA, but has gotten even better over the last few years with the new patio area. Great selection of beer, wine, kombucha, etc., solid bar food, and the staff is always helpful and willing to let you do a taste of something before ordering. Wanted to also chime in regarding H.R.'s one star review of the bar. We were outside that night as well, and her telling of events is hilariously untrue. She assaulted a patron, threatened a second patron, poured a beer on a third patron, and was finally asked to leave by staff. Her husband also threatened our table despite us not being a part of the kerfuffle she started with the people at the table next to us. It was definitely an eventful night, but the staff handled the situation well given how unruly she and her party were.“

“Historical Pasadena restaurant that some people forget about. I hadn’t been here for years until this evening. I’d give 5 stars, but my pork chop was dry and little overcooked. Everything else was wonderful, including the drinks. It’s very intimate inside, but as the restaurant fills up it gets quite loud. The patio is covered and heated, but you may find yourself having to talk over the nearby tables or road noise. Valet parking only, $8 at the time of this review. There is street parking available on Fair Oaks though.“
“If you are a vegetarian or have dietary restrictions this is the place you are looking for. The menu is full of veggie options and let's not forget about their 1L homemade juices and smoothies.Tree house restaurant with a huge tree in the front, that has birds talking and singing all evening.“
“We stopped by The Mermaid after dinner for a couple of drinks and had a pretty good time! It was super crowded but we were lucky to find a table to sit at. The place was pretty loud but the playlist was great and the atmosphere and crowd was friendly and a lot of fun.With a cute underwater/sea theme, their menu looks like it typically has a lot of rum based drinks but we had to get the special holiday drinks!Out of the specialty drinks we ordered the Sinterclaws, Seven Siren Swimming, Nauti or Nice, Carols of the Coral, A Merry Little "Coquito", and a Dementa Xmas "Shot." Almost all of the drinks were served in festive glassware like a snowman mug, so cute! My favorite drinks had to be Seven Sirens Swimming with the brown butter fat washed Chihuatan Indigo rum, and the "coquito" like a tiny coconutty eggnog.“
“The food at Brera makes your taste buds sing! I know it's corny, but it's true. Their green salad has this light dressing that is so refreshing. The prosciutto pizza was to die for. My boyfriend had the Papatelle and I had the Nettle Pasta with walnut. We walked out full with smiles in our face. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. It was outstanding!! Oh, and the drinks are strong and good!“
“Litos Cork Room (LCR) is a hidden gem in East Los Angeles, especially for Green Bay Packers fans. The welcoming vibe and unique Packers fandom create an unforgettable experience for any football fan. Drinks are very reasonably priced and bar service is quick in this tiny little Cheesehead heaven. The owners (Junior and his wife) are amazingly welcoming and generous people. Litos feels like a mini-Lambeau in ELA.Highly recommend!?? ?? GoPackGo“
“This bar has all the right games at any given time. Great place! Football playoffs were showing on every TV outside of the bar. Another the end. One maybe two screens were dialed to NASCAR. For the most part, Our server was attentive and she would ask us how are doing. Her instinct The menu was substantial. I choose the dip if I remember correctly. Awesome sandwich. The nacho were LOADED with various meats and copious amounts of cheese. Worth checking out if are visiting Whittier.“
“It's really hard for me to give a full 5 stars. Creative cocktails? Check. Imposing whisky collection? Check. Loud music blasting so hard you have to shout your order to the bartender and shout to the person in front of you? Check.I feel like it's a ton of wasted potential. Disregard my inner cocktail nerd wanting to talk about alcohol with the bartenders but it's even hard to talk to the person sitting next to you.I'll probably try again tomorrow and update my review afterwards.All of that said, the drinks are very good so try it even if you end up just drinking them in silence.“
“I heard this place existed, but never went. However, when hanging out with some friends, they decided to go here, and I was pleasantly surprised it does not look very big as it is nestled in with a brewery, but the decor and atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous. It is super fun and vibrant, there are no waiters so you have to go order your drinks on your own, but the drinks are hands-down, original and amazing. They do not only serve truly there, but mixed drinks as well.“
“Love this low key, high end bar. Best of both worlds. Dark and warm atmosphere. Phenomenal happy hour and cocktails. We came for after dinner cocktails and ordered an espresso martini and a "Coffee and Cigarettes" and they were perfect! FYI It's not closed. Try the door!“
“Was not expecting this great food worthy of any restaurant. The ceviche was good. The stake was amazing. The tacos were amazing, chicharon was on point ,and taco shrimp was amazing , and I was not expecting this kind of quality from a bar. O and the music were on point. First time here, and I highly “
“Walked by it for years and only recently tried it. So good. Had a special of white asparagus soup which was delicious. I had their strip which was well prepared. Our server was lovely and great at directing us. Lovely little. Spot. Reservations are strongly recommended.“
“This place gets me into trouble and I am fortunate. With its 24 diverse rotating beer on draft, you can explore them using flight option. Also, they have their wine it's in own chilled draft box. Want more? You can to peruse their wall and wrap-around refrigorator of a craft beers and estate wine, champagne, and even non alcoholic beverages. Great for solo drinking, date night , and meet up with friends. Cheers !“
“If you're on the hunt for an exceptional spot to savor local beer, Distrito Catorce is your go-to destination. Picture 'Cheers' vibes fused with the cultural richness of Boyle Heights - like the old Al's Bar in the Art District- that's the unique ambiance you'll find here. Every visit has been a chance to meet amazing people, and the owners? Simply outstanding. They've created a space that's not just about drinks but about community and connection. What to order: My personal favorite? The watermelon salad. It's a refreshing twist I didn't know I needed, and though I've yet to try the Al Hotdog Pastor , (it sells out.) the buzz is it's phenomenal created by Chef Jonathan Perez. What's more, its proximity to the metro at Mariachi Plaza makes it an irresistible stop. Surrounded by vibrant arts, there's always something happening here. Be it catching a game or admiring local art, there's a blend of experiences waiting for you. While you won't find tacos here, a short walk to 'Street Tacos', just two doors down, will sort you out. But before you taco-hop, try their hamburger, waffle fries and the talked-about Al Pastor Hotdog . The beer selection? Extensive. Draft , bottles, cans - From local beers I've never heard of to a popular GUAVADA a guava cider spritzer, there's something for every palate. And if you're looking to extend your night, Casa Fina across the street offers lively mariachi performances over the weekends. It's a whole vibe! So, if you're in the area or planning a visit, Distrito Catorce is a must. There is a bike rack right in the front. Follow my route and experience the best of local flavors and culture. Trust me, it's a journey worth taking!“
“First time back in a decade and well worth it. The service was fantastic: attentive. We ordered the blueberry cobbler and after informing us it was sold out they offered an option on the house. Cuts were good, the sauces were good, just wish they were spicier. A tad loud.“
“I LOVE this place! The food is always amazing whether dine in or take out, I'm salivating. The servers are so kind and do their job well. And the VIBES! that place is so cute they either have live music or some good jams playing in the resturant. I take everyone I know here. Can't wait for my next visit ?“
“If you looking for a good place to have fun enjoy and make good memories come to 82 bar they have the good qualities games arcades plus drinks trust me once you get there you are going to keep on coming back I guarantee.Wheelchair accessibility: Thumb ?“
“Thoroughly enjoyed Far Bar’s happy hour, which runs from 3-7pm Monday to Friday, and all day Monday. Best value play is the Burger Special ($13), which includes fries and a Sapporo or soda.Wings are also excellent. Will try their shrimp tacos next! Service is awesome and the vibes are casual yet with a classy decor (especially outside). Love this historic spot!“
“Great BBQ spot. This was a good restaurant with good food and drinks. I just expected more in flavor. The mashed potatoes needed more kick with either a gravy or pepper, the BBQ sauce need more variety with one being too sweet and the other very typical. My biggest criticism is the the sauces were cold and the meat was not steamy.Cocktails were great though, service was keen and polite. The atmosphere and playing was perfect for a date or business lunch/dinner.I would love to come back and see if they improve the balance of the dishes.“
“Party it up at offbeat where chill vibes and good music fill up your night.Everyone was jamming and dancing on the main floor, it can get tight but in a good way just like o’ times getting that jump boogie on.It was y2k night so they were playing all the pop hits from the 2000’s 90’s 80’s that get you to groove and rock out to.They play no doubt don’t speak and everyone sang their hearts out, it was a moment.Such a mix ground and feels like the kickback block party where everyone from the neighborhood comes through.They got booths along the side wall with small tables for that vip section, they even had a photographer with a backdrop set up to take them old school portraits.Long bar so plenty of room to go up and grab a drink.They have a HUGE smoking patio out back with plenty of seating with tables under the canopy but also standing areas to vibe with your tribe, crew or old click as if it were back in the days of high school.There’s also one of those old school Photo Booths that prints outOver all chill spot and finally a spot where people actually dance and vibe with each other.All mixed and wide age groups.This is the homie spot that makes you appreciate highland park.“

“Meet my friend for her birthday lunch and we had the place to ourselves....Our service for spectacular...Definitely get the "Diva" Martini...We will be meeting there again for sure...Can't say enough great things about this place....Parking: Great, lots of it & very close....“
“My wife and I came here on a Saturday night and there were maybe about 3 other tables occupied. There was live music which was great. We didn't see anyone working so we sat ourselves in a booth and patiently waited for someone to take our order. Ended up ordering the botana la palma and ceviche de pescado. About 5-10 minutes later we were informed there were no more fish for the ceviche, so we decided to go with shrimp instead. The service was a bit slow or non existent. Maybe because the restaurant was hosting a paint&sip on the other side and required the waitress' attention. Nonetheless the food was amazing! Seafood tasted fresh and full of flavor. Where it went a bit wrong was when we got our bill. I typically just double the tax for a 20% tip, but didn't realize until afterwards that 1. The tax was off and 2. We got the wrong bill. The botana la palma was $25 and ceviche i believe was around $19, but was charged $25 for sashimi de atun azul. The tax was only $2.49 so our tip was unfortunately lower than intended (sorry, I was tipsy). My fault for not checking, but I was in a rush. Overall, would definitely come back, but will double check my bill.“
“I forgot to take a picture but the food was delicious. I ordered the quesabirria tacos (comes with 3 & the meat juice) and a jamaica and they both were good. The agua frescas come in the big margarita schooner glasses. Not sure if they have free refills but I don't think so. I liked my tacos crunchy so I asked for them well. The chips were crunchy and not stale, the guac taste fresh. The waiter was attentive and checked on us a few times. Overall it was a good experience.Parking: It's in a shopping center and there is plenty of parking.“

“This was my first time at the Raymond. I subtracted 1 star for service. It wasn't bad, just could be polished up a tad. Plates were left on the table between courses necessitating the server to clear them. The food was very good. It's not fine dining—does not pretend to be so—it's more akin to the casera vibe. It's as if you were eating at a friend's home, albeit a friend that really knows how to cook. We sampled the chicken and the pork chop. The chicken was outstanding. As we all know, chicken is a challenging protein to cook perfectly. And it was. It arrived hot and juicy and expertly seasoned. My comment on the pork is only representing my own flavor profile; I found it to be needing a bit more pan sauce. And, for me, the Dijon mustard came on a bit too strong and overwhelmed the delicacy of the subtle pork flavor. We really enjoyed the ambience. Both outside and inside were a comfortable environment to enjoy a nice, un rushed meal. We will return.“
“This. Place. Is like going to a cheers bar on Tuesday and Thursday night. There's karaoke and Wednesday. It's. Comedy. Show night Friday and Saturday there. Live music with bands. You can watch TVs sport's Games in the. Bar and and the food from prime rib to chicken Caesar salad.Drinks. Are. Good. With Martin the lunch time bar tender to jose. The night shift. Bar tender. They are good. People who will take care of. U like family. Dinner banquet rooms available to throw company parties or birthday ??It's. Entertainment is ran by Soto. Entertainment“
“Came here for a friend's birthday. The outdoor had such a tropical vibe that is perfect for hangouts. I'm not big on cider so can't say I love the drinks here but it's a healthier option for alcoholic beverages. Between the gunpowder guava and cactus rose, I preferred the rose. Its really tart so took a couple sips to get used to.“
“I love coming to this bar. It's a cool dive bar, there is DJ some nights so it does get loud. It's fun on those days. Also when you come in early. It's very chill. I typically come after a long week and look forward to Mondays for the karaoke. All the bartenders are very nice & make great drinks. Not a single one messes up my mixed drink. It's perfect. Thank you to all those workers.“
“Buddy's Bday, they brought out their very special bday celebration, beans with cheese and 2 chips inside, it was epic. We were drunk and had a great time, good food, good atmosphere, TV's, the server knew what time it wasn They serve Tall cans of beer, so lfg! Def be “
“A great spot for a good drink and some good company. They play a variety of music from hip-hop to rap, and cumbias. The crowd was so lively and fun but also casual and friendly. Impromptu dances with strangers were unexpected but so much fun. I can't speak on the drinks because this was my last stop for the night and I was sobering up with water. The bartenders were really sweet despite being busy and everyone being pretty drunk. There were people dancing on the bar, at the tables and on a small makeshift dance floor. All in all a really fun atmosphere in the heart of Boyle Heights just a few minutes from DTLA.“
“My friend and i came here on Christmas Day and i was so glad they were open.Andrew is our bartender and he was very attentive to all our orders. He made every drink we ordered and they were actually very satisfying. The portions were all right and they tasted exactly as how they should.Food choices were limited to chips but there is a satisfying amount of entertainment from dart boards, a jukebox and a pool table. The patrons that come here are pretty mellow and not like the crazy loud obnoxious crowds that I run into at some bars.You can go for a smoke in the back where there are tables, chairs and ashtrays to use.The restrooms were clean and well maintained.Lots of parking in the back through Wells Fargo Bank.“
“Popped in on a Friday night and was surprised by the quality of the drinks, food and sound system. They had a few groups performing who appeared to have a strong fan base. From other reviews, it seems like they have other types of entertainment so curious to come back. Bathrooms were clean and ample parking“
“Let me start by saying this is one of my favorite bars the service is phenomenal Chris big Mike Joanna best friend and the new girl Chantel aka Alex is amazing the bar is extremely clean staff is friendly and know what you like for me it’s like a 4.5 out of 5 but 100% will be a 5 if they had twisted tea thank you 626 bar for a good time all the time“
“This is third time here, and so far all I've tried is great. Today I had the taco Tuesday special, three fish tacos for $5, and it does not disappoint. I've also had the beef and chicken taquitos, and they are stacked. Can't complain.They also serve complimentary chips and salsa. The drinks are good. It's clean, and great service. Give it a try if you're hungry. And try to stop by on a Tuesday for the specials.Parking: Parking lot in the back. And street parking.“
