    Bartenders are very knowledgeable about their product and are ready to geek out with you about cocktails and spirits. Generally very friendly. Felt like service was a little lacking. I had an empty drink for 15 minutes (I was one of two people sitting at the bar) and they didn't check on me, instead chatting with their regulars and watching the football game. All in all a nice little spot, but the service could be a bit more universally applied to all their patrons.

    Awesome place to hang out! It was the only bar in the area open past midnight on a Thursday, and when we dropped by the party was in full swing - standing room only, buzzing atmosphere, busy bartenders. It got a little more chill and less loud as the evening went on, although there were several groups hanging out all the way until last call. It's a pretty small place so keep that in mind. The drinks here are AMAZING! You can even just describe an alcohol and a general taste you're after, and they will make a custom craft cocktail just for you. Highly recommended!

    Delicious potato rolls! The scallops and trout were outstanding. You can really taste the maple in the trout and the pancakes were excellent. The scallops were succulent with a wonderful sauce. Loved the merengue pie, thick crust and freshly torched merengue on top. Very dimly lit ambiance, lively with lots of chatter and friendly staff.

    Good drinks, good vibes. This bar is tucked into the corner of hatchet hall and can be accessed from the corner of the street or through the restaurant. It’s small but that makes the vibes cozy and warm. They spin vinyl (sometimes a bit too loud, wow I’m getting older) and have a small menu of special cocktails. Pro tip: If you want to sit outside they have a very small courtyard with two benches and it’s a lovely place to spend a few hours with friends.

    Get the burger on Sundays and Mondays. Go early if you want to have the place to yourself and enjoy the burger, go later for a more lively venue. The drinks are great throughout.

    We went here because the chef got a Michelin star we realized chef had left but food was fantastic

  • 2/5 Jeramy J. 7 months ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, nice drinks. Service (specifically by the guy with his hair in a bun) was awful. Worth checking out so long as you get a polite bar tender.

    The bartender here knows his stuff! We ordered 3 bartender's choice drinks. We pick the liquor and he asks a couple questions and brings you out a his own concoction! All 3 were amazing and at he ran through each ingredient. We were amazed with what he used and the flavors they gave. Cool bar, love the name and atmosphere - - very dark inside, reminds me of a cigar bar. Definitely recommend this place!!

    Great little neighborhood Old Fashion(s) bar! Cosy bar, adult hip vibe, great service & old fashion menu! Bartender was really knowledgeable about whiskey & bourbon selections.

    All I can say is “this is the only bar I go in LA” my favorite ❤️ so many great memories in here.

  • 5/5 Carlos 1 year ago on Google
    Small, but great character, and a great place to have a great conversation at. Solid music selection, and not so loud to where you can't hear each other to talk. Good drink selections.

  • 4/5 Damon C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing drinks, but way over priced ($18 cocktails)

  • 5/5 Evelyn J. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious drinks. The bartenders are the DJs and they spin REAL VYNIL! While we were there (nursing an Old Fashion and a delicious Manhattan) I enjoyed Tears for Fears and Le Chic. Just great!

  • 5/5 Mely F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very welcoming vibe with decent prices. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a quiet night out

    One of my favorite bars in Los Angeles. Cool vibes, friendly staff, and great drinks!

  • 5/5 jonel de los r. 1 year ago on Google
    It's cool, dim vibes inside. Not great for groups bigger than 10 people. More for date nights or hang out with a few people and get drunk off some really great cocktails.
