“Very happy to have this bar in the neighborhood! It’s a perfect spot for the 20s/30s crowd. Love their spicy margarita and karaoke is always really fun, plus it’s never too loud so you can actually have a conversation here. Bartenders are also all really nice.“

“I was having such a grand old time at La Fe that I wanted to take a picture of my experience. I set my phone on a ledge, but my phone fell through a crack. La Fe’s STAR employee, Caleb, had to dismantle the freakin’ couch using power tools in order to retrieve my phone. It took so much work and time and I’m so grateful. Aside from the superb service, La Fe is such a perfect spot for a date or for chilling with friends because of the stylish and hip decor. I would def recommend!“

“This is totally a hidden gem. Im glad I came across and finally got to enjoy. The vibe here was fantastic. Its a dark mellow fun atmosphere. Perfect for drinks and chatting. The staff was so friendly . One of the reason why this is such a great place to be able to still socialize while there music and other people is cus the surround system is vintage and was personalized to be played up high over everything which makes the place more comfortable. The food was marvelous wasn't expecting a Mediterranean twist but definitely loving it gave the food a special kick to the flavors . The combination of the spices and texture made the food amazing. I tried the steak and fries 10/10 and the shrimp roll be cause I love shrimp. And I loved them both . Personally I like dillso I was ok with the shrimp roll but for my ppl that dont like to try new thing I would recommend to stay away. The drinks were delicious. I had mexican can shots and Jennifer gray . Both I highly recommend. Also a mango cart cocktail but which was delicious also but it has a habanero taste to it thats not my favorite. But still enjoyed it. Something else I learned was the mixers are made natural from all the spices or fruits . Naturally extracted with also give the drinks that extra flavor. More natural and not processes. This is definitely a place to come and enjoy with friends. There was actually a birthday being celebrated and they show movies on a roll down projector this is event worthy for people looking to host an event here.“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“I'd like to share my experience at Encanto restaurant. The warm, welcoming atmosphere with soft lighting and pleasant music makes you want to stay, relax, and enjoy a good conversation. I came with my wife and child - we were greeted politely and seated exactly where we felt most comfortable. I started with the signature Margarita: perfect in presentation and flavor balance - it immediately set a great mood. Next, I ordered the ceviche set. The first two (Cona Konpachi and Aguachile) were truly outstanding - a symphony of flavors with perfectly balanced ingredients that complemented each other beautifully. The other two ceviches in the set, however, felt unbalanced - the dominant note was excessive acidity. For mains, I had the grilled fish - served on a sizzling hot pan, with a deep charred aroma and a well-judged marinade. Excellent. The steak, unfortunately, disappointed: first it was overcooked, then undercooked. But a special thank you to our server, Kristi - she was attentive and professional, and she turned my overall experience back into a very positive one. I highly recommend Encanto for its ambiance and service. As for the food - some dishes are fantastic, others still need fine-tuning. But with a team like this, I believe this restaurant can definitely bring you great pleasure.“

“A great place to be in Los Angeles‼️“

“Great cocktailsbatva reasonable price (around 12 bucks when I went) great staff, none of the usual having to flag down a bartender for 30 minutes, and REALLY COOL staff. It is cozy so it can be a bit hard to hear a conversation, but its a bar so yeah. Highly recommend.“

“Cozy. Carnitas nachos were pretty dang good. Update: carnitas a little too salty. Cheese was a little too thick! It's enough for 3 people forsure. Unless they upsized our order? Cocktail was gross, too sugary. Chicken tenders weren't my thing either. Too much honey. Margarita was soo good“

“This was our first time visiting Los Angeles and the West Coast, and since we’re considering moving from the UK in the future, we really wanted to experience what nightlife in LA actually feels like. Finding Bar Next Door turned out to be one of the best surprises of our trip.

The place has an amazing chilled atmosphere, excellent staff, and genuinely great cocktails that are neither overpriced nor watered down — something that can be hard to find. One of the coolest details was the music being played through a vintage tape player, which gave the whole bar a unique character and old-school charm.

The location also felt safe and welcoming, making it easy to relax and fully enjoy the evening. Definitely recommend this place if you want a more authentic and laid-back West Hollywood experience.“

“El Carmen is more a bar than restaurant. It has an awesome atmosphere and the largest tequila menu I have ever seen. The food was small plates but really plenty filling once you eat the chips and salsa. The veggie nachos looked to be a good value as well as the quesadilla. It’s a fun place perfect for drinks and lite eats.“

“We’ve come here a few times and always enjoy ourselves. A lot of specialty IPAs and pretty decent prices on some of them. I had the black and blue heart cider and it was scrumptious. Nice and tart. It’s still a little sweet and a little effervescence. Love me a 7% ABV with a seltzer! Very cozy fun vibes. Comfortable bar seating as well as comfortable booth seating. Nice little outdoor patio and then an area to play games at your hearts content! Pool table inside ping-pong, table, and foosball table outside. Darts board games you name it very cozy couch and tables out on the patio as well. Partially covered. Alistair was very attentive to my friend, but didn’t seem to feel compelled to take care of me lol. A lot of fun eye candy on the walls. Vintage goodies. Will definitely be back.“

“A combination of classic and delicious.“

“If an AI algorithm created a Dodger pregame spot for me, it would be the Douglas. Food, drink, music, vibe, service were all on point. We had breakfast before the game, and a late lunch/early dinner after the game. 15 minute walk to the ballpark to see a Dodger victory in between. The Douglas is my new Dodger Stadium adjacent hang for sure.“

“This is a cool spot for local artists. Was there to support a friend. Good spot for a night out of music and drink with balcony view. And pool table. Has downstairs and upstairs. Want to find some new artists, go here! Music and good vibes. ENJOY!“

“Walked and found this little gem ❤️“

“What a cozy welcoming atmosphere it has.. comfortable seating and friendly staff.. looking forward to going back soon“

“These bartenders are wizards, alchemists, Jedis of the cocktail Force. No menu, just chat with them and enjoy the cocktail they invent. The music is classic rock n roll. Go to this place, or just be boring.“

“Fun! Fun! Fun! With a VIEW! Owned/run by the same guys who own/run iconic Bar Chain MR. FURLEY’S — which just had it’s grand opening in my hometown GLENDALE on Brand Blvd. — DEFO CHECK THEM OUT!!! 🙌🏻“

“This place is awesome and has unexpectedly delicious food! The kitchen is open late, and despite us arriving an hour before close, they kindly served us and the food was unexpected yummy. Delicious sweet potato fries, burger, bowl, and others. Wish I took more photos, but we were busy eating. Lovely dive bar ambience. Will definitely come back!“

“Great atmosphere and the food was great!“

“It's a great place to enjoy great people.“

“Spritz Mediterranean Street Food is a hidden gem! I ordered the Mediterranean Wrap and the Cart Street Fries, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh, bold, and unlike the typical fast-casual options you find elsewhere.🤗

The Mediterranean Wrap was packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients, while the Cart Street Fries were the perfect complement—crispy, seasoned just right, and completely addictive. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared.🥰

If you're looking for something out of the ordinary and full of flavor, this place is a must-try. I will definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu!😋“

“Beautiful bar. Modern with a home feel. The ambiance is very chill. Large and wide open window on one side gives you a good view of Sunset Blvd. opposite is the patio that has the food. You can order via a QR code and get a text when your food is ready. Drink menu is great! Bartenders are friendly.“

“We celebrated my wife's birthday with several friends and the experience was amazing. The airline history vibe, service, staff and the quality of the food & drink were first rate and we enjoyed every minute! Highly recommended!!“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“We really like the food here. 😃“

“Pretty much the only bar I went to before the quarantine, and I am thankful they have created a socially distanced patio so I can start going back.“

“The DJ it’s excelente it has a great sound and all kind of music“

“Despite accidentally making reservations online for the following evening, the gentleman behind the entry table found a way for my family of 4 to enjoy a top notch Korean BBQ dinner. We were so grateful! The food was excellent and service first rate. Highly recommended!!“

“This place rules. Cheese plate was unique and delicious — fed three of us. Charming glasses suited to each type of beverage. Big variety of drinks. The blue walls, the radio, the tiny miniature desert scene under the window?!! The vibes are immaculate.“
