    Stopped in for a drink before the show at Hollywood Bowl. It was the closest bar we could find to the venue, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great place. Great cocktails and bourbon selection, good music and awesome bartender. A great spot nestled in the midst of a bunch of tourist traps. Highly recommended.

    Happy Hour from 7-10! They serve a lightly salted bowl of popcorn with your drink. The bartender was so friendly, she made sure I liked what I ordered.

    We stopped for one drink and stayed for six! Kate, the bartender, was so amazing and made us feel so welcome. Not only did she give us a warm welcome she's an amazing mixologist. Her drinks were the bomb. We started with an old fashion, the switched to a Manhattan, just to try. We wound up finishing with several more old fashions. The vibe was very local bar. We walked in knowing no one and left feelings like we knew everyone. I really want to thank Kate for making this first visit so special. We'll be back.

    Three steps from the tourist run, this place was small, dark and loud. Lovely barkeep, great drink specials and free popcorn. The drinks were delicious and the place had a great vibe. Good fun!

    Fun place! Was there on a sunday and monday and still kinda busy. The server was very nice. We were provided with a lot of popcorn the whole night! They also have some other snacks and food you can order. They have a pretty good selection of beers and the prices are pretty good compared to other bars in the area.

    I come on Thursday nights for the jazz jams (although they play everything from pop hits to Bob Marley) and it's always a great time. Great music from class A musicians, bartenders that know exactly what they're doing, and cool vibes all around. Not sure about the other nights of the week, but if you're into supporting some great local talent come on through.

    Very cool, moody, with great craft cocktails. Friendly helpful staff. The furniture is also chic so maybe not the best place for comfy lounging.

    Power House is a story of what once was, and what will be. What it is now, is a solid casual spot for a classic cocktail or a beer, though it's a polished shadow of it's former incarnation as a true dive bar with darts in back and swivel seats and booths with their inner cushions proudly showing. The drinks are good enough—better yet, they're good and served stiff, which garners extra points—and the tone is reaching to Hollywood's golden years, when Billy Wilder and Bogie might have shared a spot at the bar planning a noir we've yet to see. I used to like the old Power House a lot. It was a real, no frills, what you see is what you get kind of place. The kind of place that dots corners in most American cities. The new Power House is a little too glossy, a little polished, and trying a little too hard, but it gets most things right, and it's still a reliably quiet spot for cocktail and conversations, which is good enough for me any day. Now if only they'd bring the dart boards back...

    Great little bar. Typically locals. Excellent bartender. Reasonable drink prices. Sweet spot to listen to music or play darts out back. Lots of history to this building. Love it

    I love this place ! I don't usually go to bars but this is a nice close walk from work. I can not say enough good things about everyone who works here. Just so friendly all the time. Extra hugs to Kate, Kwani, and Taylor ! Thank you for being so kind!

    Had the most amazing evening! The amazing drinks, the Sad Sunday Goth music and Sol was an amazing bartender! Best night here so far.

    One of my favorite bars on the Blvd. Love the rock n roll atmosphere, mostly locals, and the staff are some of the most fun and friendly anywhere. Most days feature an event, live music, karaoke, DJs, or trivia.

    Great bar! From Greece and was refreshed. Kwame treated us well. Highly recommended.

    The perfect balance of dive bar, local joint, and hideout from the rabble on Hollyweird Blvd.

  • 5/5 Ajax K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great dive bar to talk about the movie you just watched at the Chinese Theater. Dink deals and friendly staff.

  • 4/5 Justin D. 11 months ago on Google
    Dive bar that is probably owned by a guy whose wife might want to go out to the bar they own. The last statement meaning the cleanest dive bar you have ever been to. Fast bartenders, no pretense, easy going.

  • 5/5 Jim B. 5 years ago on Google
    It looks like a dive-bar from the outside, and hints of hipster-dive when you walk in, but the cocktails fall nicely in the great-take-on-a-classic. Added bonus: you may find yourself having a cocktail and conversation with an Avenger or X-man!

    $10 gin sodas right on Hollywood. This a great place.

    Relaxed and clean environment. The bartender Theo was nice and welcoming and poured good drinks. Will come back. Thanks for a great first experience!

    I'd never been to Power House, nor had I heard of it before. It's a great local Hollywood bar. I'm a craft cocktails kind of guy and was pleasantly surprised by the choice. The crowd was diverse and chill.

    The DJ here tonight was awesome.... fun, bright and eclectic music for everyone. The bar staff were welcoming and have good service. Great atmosphere and good looking bar. It is far better looking from the inside than out so go in and take a look!

  • 3/5 Mabeleta F. 5 years ago on Google
    Dark clean decor and excellent drinks. The service was great too. They would get 5 stars if they had simple snacks to go with the drinks. Nuts, pretzels, chips would be easy to offer and encourage me to stay for more than one drink.

    It's okay. They should clean the front entrance with bleach or something because it smelled too much of urine. We sat at the first booth near the entrance and the smell was too much. Left after one drink because of it. Other than that, the place was fine, and the bartender was nice.

    Loved finding this little place which happened to be near our parking garage. The people who were helping us were the absolute best and gave us an amazing experience in Hollywood. Thanks so much for making us feel special! Much love from the weenie people!!!
