    Bouncer up front was cool and informative after a pat down. Walked in on a busy night with nostalgic music played by the DJ. The lively atmosphere was contagious. Bartenders were great and will even find you through the crowd to take your order. There was a taco stand right outside which you can order from and have them deliver to whatever area in the bar you were at which was awesome. Definitely will be coming back here. Possibly this holiday weekend. 🤟

    So, it’s a small hole in the wall. But they say it’s safe. Which it’s not. Security pats down 40% of the people they KNOW. The other half is open for disaster. Restrooms never work. A bunch of people have to use the restroom and No one cares. At least From what I seen All bad. Knives pulled out ok the dance floor. Restroom. And security doesn’t believe it Because he has tunnel vision.

    The vibes are the best! A nice mix of everything. Lots of nostalgic songs and a mix of some good new hits. The bar gets super packed and it takes a long time to get drinks that are pretty bad, but I don't mind to be honest the people and the music make it all worth it! Always a good time!

    One of the best dive bars left! The security did a great job and was super nice. The bartenders were fantastic. Great drinks, super chill. Shout out to Javi! Definitely coming back.

  • 1/5 Quinones f. 1 year ago on Google
    I have to give 1 star because they never let us in. They denied us entrance after they saw two people out of our party of 5 drink a last brew from the ice chest outside our car before entering. We were introducing a friend from out of town to the location and cruising our classic car after leaving an event. We were excited to check this spot out but for something so petty to discriminate, ostracize, or treat us as “scum” was completely disrespectful and uncalled for. We were extremely offended especially since this is our local community that we want to support and we were treated like trash in our own community. That was out of line .💯.

    Drinks are bearable but the atmosphere is cool DJ knew what she was doing. More of a quick hangouts bar.

    Bartenders are rude. The big husky guy got mad cuz I tried to help another person behind me get their drink. The light skinned Latina got upset cuz I asked her the percentage of alcohol. People who roll up are cool though.

    The DJ knows the vibes! A bled of hip hop, reggaeton, salsa, etc! Lots to dance to and a big enough dance floor to find a space and wiggle it out. The bar gets packed really quick so don't be shy to make friends with who is in line and they serve you pretty quick. The most wait time was about 5 minutes but well worth it. Stop on by and check it out if you're in the area

    Chill spot to get some drinks and have a good time. A bit packed and crowded but that's what a dive bar usually is like. Good music and the bartender as well as security were cool and on top of things. You might have to wait in line to get in but it's worth it. Drinks were cheap and we were able to sit and get a table somehow. Overall I enjoyed and would definitely go again.

    So this place is like a hidden gem for Boyle heights locals. Everyone here is having a good time. When you walk in the bouncer is very respectful checks your bag. But he is very polite and sweet at the same time. Honestly that is rare these days. We got there when they opened at 7pm. We was greeted by Javier but we called him Javi all night.When I tell you he was so nice and real. Really loved his job. Kept the bar true to itself. He really take cares of the locals. Wants to keep this bar for the locals so when you come he treats you like a local. Makes you understand why people come. We sat at the bar and had the best service. Javi took care of us. If you ever in Boyle heights and want to hear good music and have good reasonable priced drinks come to Holiday! Because I know I will come back!

    If you’re looking for a good time, dope music and good vibes Holiday bar is the spot! This is my go to neighborhood bar to catch a Dodgers game at with the homies or party on the weekend! Also always got some great DJ’s spinning West Coast classics!

    Good Vibes, good music, delicious drinks! Been back many times.

  • 3/5 Juan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice spot, great music. Wasn’t a fan of being told my $20 was fake, though. Bank ATMs have less than a 1% chance of dispensing fake money. I had no issue paying but I didn't appreciate being put on blast.

    Worse place in town starting with security!! They choose violence to try to control the crowd!! Last night people got pepper spray and there was guns involved, if you care to have a good time with friends... this is NOT the place!!

  • 5/5 b e e g a r c i a. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Maria M. 7 months ago on Google
    I wish I took pictures of my drinks but there's a blended peach drink that is a must have!! The atmosphere and bartenders are cool.

  • 5/5 Madison D. 7 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dorian B. 6 months ago on Google
    I had some time to kill before flying back home and this was a great spot to throw have a drink, chat with sone people, hear music and move on the dance floor.

  • 1/5 Francisco R. 5 months ago on Google
    Save your money don't come here, many more bars else where in the L.A. area, stay away, spend $200 a night get here got banned for life for taking a cup? Fyck u!!!!

  • 5/5 Francisco C. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this Dive bar, great music, it has a small dance floor and a patio. Great drinks. I recommend Titos mule and the Paloma. Drinks are very consistent, not too strong. My favorite bartender, April, check her out. Bouncers are on point, don't bring trouble cause they will drag you out. Overall, I had a great experience will defenetly keep coming back.

    The security guard allows and picks and chooses who comes in as a re-entry after 12:30. He allowed a re-entry to two females who had already been in the bar. I ask to speak to his manager and was denied Tom he opportunity to understand the policy of the bar from a management perspective. That alone is customer unsatisfaction. He was rude and hostile. Never again would I come to this bar where the security guards lack professionalism and respect for the payed customers that come in.
