    Really unique cocktails and great staff. The vibe is so cozy. The little tokyo drink is worth it!!! Smoothest glass of whiskey I've ever had.

    Amazing to visit. Yelp has a good picture library explaining how to get in. The walk to the door is one of the best parts! It's very underground and it feels exclusive. Everyone there intended to be there which is cool. It's not a place you can just stumble upon. The drinks are cool too. They serve punch bowls that have too much ice, but they're fun to drink. The place has games you can play and the music is good. It's pretty loud so do expect to be yelling to talk.

    Birds & Bees is the cutest little hidden bar in LA. I absolutely loved how you have to go to down to this underground basement to get to the bar. The vibes and atmosphere were very different than your typical “speak easy” bar. They sell mixed drinks that consist of whiskey, gin, or tequila. I ordered a few off the menu and they were fantastic and I’m usually a vodka kinda girl. Every single time i walked up to the bar i was instantly helped by the lovely bartenders. I loved this place so much I’ve been recommending several friends to stop by. Since it’s small, it does get packed so a lot of people were standing around while enjoying their drink but it wasn’t too much of a bother because they had a few tall tables for people who were standing.

    This is most likely my favorite bar in the downtown area now. The staff was superb and highly knowledgeable concerning alcohols, drinks and gastronomy. The entrance is hidden and makes you feel like you are entering a prohibition speakeasy yet, when you enter it feels more 1950's-60's Mad Men. The quotes on the walls are very on point and the music is fitting of the times. The drinks are fantastic. Have the Earth Angel on a special occasion. The chocolate roasted dehydrated portabello mushrooms pair beautifully with the Balvenie. Come here!

    This little speak easy bar is a cool little place to grab some friends and sneak away. On this Friday night my friends and I were able to walk right in. I guess since this place just opened a few months back, it's been a popular hangout spot. The hostess mentioned that the line outside is usually pretty long. The place is a decent size for what it is. It has a bar area, tables and a place for a couple of group gatherings, but that's it. There are no sports on TV, the beer selection is very limited to about 5 or 6, and there is absolutely no bar food. The mixed drinks and the service is what is going to keep this place afloat. The ole fashion drinks here are superb and served exactly how they are supposed to, with a big block of ice and no extra ingredients. The bartenders and hostess were awesome!! I can't say the same about the waitress since she did never show up at our table. We eventually had to make way to the bar after a few chairs opened up. This is a cool place to come hangout with your friends, experience the speak easy atmosphere, have a couple mixed drinks and go onto the next bar. It's very cozy and a great place to bring tourist friends or family.

    I liked that this place was very relaxing, dimmed lighting. It also had some board games to play while you have some beverages. It is in downtown so you do have to for parking. The drinks are a bit pricier than other bars. It can be very understandable considering they are very unique and tasty.

    Drinks were pretty good, though lean towards very bitter and sour. When it gets busy, the walls make everything extra loud and kind of unbearable. They do have Jenga though.

    Had no idea this place was here. We stumbled across this location because we parked in the lot to see the lights in Grand Park. So after seeing the lights we decided to try this place out before we headed home. They had no cover charge, which is huge plus My drink of the night was the Tom Lehrer. It was a strong drink for me but sooo delicious. The vibe is super chill here and there's games to play at ur table like Jenga, connect 4 and others. Definitely a must try spot. We will be back.

    Fantastic cocktails here. The Little Tokyo Smoke Break is the best!

    Hidden speakeasy with a secret entrance? Awesomely named fancy cocktails? Could this be my new go-to watering hole? I was definitely intrigued! Sadly, I was disappointed by the lack of drink choices and the high prices. The location of the bar was very cool. It was hidden underground and had a modern trendy interior. I stopped by on a Friday afternoon around 6pm for a quick cocktail before dinner and the place was pretty empty. The menu had about 10 different specialty drinks that varied from whiskey, rum, and gin. Nothing for me and my fellow vodka drinkers. The one drink I really wanted to try, "Doris Day", was not available because they apparently ran out of matcha.

    Dropped in here on a Saturday night after trying some other bars in the area. I was surprised how quaint and simple this place was. I was really comfortable drinking here with friends. Plenty of beers on tap. I liked the friendliness of the bartender. Really cool decor. The selection of IPA's was great. Wine for those wine lovers too! A tiny place you must try if you're in the area.
