Iconic bar in DTLA! This place is as cool as it is old. If you’re in DTLA go have a drink at this spot. The bartenders are super friendly, grab a seat a the bar and have a nice chat with them or they have a nice atrium seating area. This is the only bar in DTLA that you can buy liquor to go. No food, but the day we were there, two food trucks were set up out front. Definitely get the Dickel with the Pickleback. This sounds strange, but it is fantastic!

I went in with my best friend and her brother to celebrate my best friends birthday. All was well until we decided to play pool. We were almost done with our game when some man child decided to start yelling at us saying we were done playing and that we needed to let them play. Mind you prior to us playing the pool was empty for hours. Suddenly this manchild and his friend started getting aggressive with us and the “security” guard came and instead of letting us finish our game he decides to take the ball. Prior to this we had ordered drinks and the bartender did not serve us. Again we ordered drinks when we were playing pool and nothing. This bar is definitely hostile and play the favorites game. I was not expecting this type of childish behavior from a bartender/security but alas I digress. Definitely do not recommend this bar.

I would’ve given more stars, but honestly, I was surprised — the shot glasses at the bar are tiny, maybe 20 ml at best! Are you serious? I ordered a shot and got what felt like half a normal pour. Other than that, the place is decent — nice vibe, music, and service. But those “shots” are just not it. Hope you reconsider, because guests definitely notice.

Don the bartender is the worst, she was rude and offensive to me the whole night, and a possible RACIST. I asked for a glass of wine, the guy (white guy) next to me old fashion, she continues by making his drink which takes longer first, then mine. She continues being rude the rest of the night, when I brought it up to her, she gets me thrown out saying I was cussing at the bartenders and causing trouble. She apparently has a bad reputation of this behavior. Avoid her at all cost, SHE’S THE WORST!

This place needs a crash course on hospitality and bar management. Came in here with a couple of friends, had a few cocktails, were having a great time. I go up to the bar and order a final round of cocktails, bartender makes them, I pay, no issue. 5 minutes later, the bar announces last call, starts turning lights on, and within another few minutes, I’ve got staff coming up to our table telling us we have to finish our drinks and go. It’s 1:49am at this point. I know how bars work. You close at 2, and we need to be finished with our drinks and out the door by 2. This wasn’t a “hey guys, just a heads up, you’ve got about 10 minutes to finish up”. This was “you guys need to leave, we’re closing”. I politely reminded the guy that we were JUST sold/served these drinks a few minutes ago, and if we wouldn’t have any time to actually drink them, the bar shouldn’t have sold me them – but that we’d leave as soon as they were done and we’d be out by 2. The bartender got super hostile and said “no, actually we can close whenever we decide to, and ask you to leave.” Poor guy probably has no real power or authority anywhere else and feels the need to puff his chest for 3 chill, calm people enjoying a cocktail at the end of the night. Hire better people.

Divey vibe, outdoor area is a must with the nearby deco-style buildings towering over. food trucks outside but worth the visit. Heart of downtown LA, simply a different vibe
