Went for taco Tuesday- what's not to like? Nice drinks in the front, stiff wells in the back, & free tacos! For tacos they offer chicken, pork, and beef with the fixings

On Tuesdays, La Cuevita offers free tacos and Sundays equal live jazz. DJs spin most nights of the week, so if you're looking for quiet, intimate conversation, it won't happen here. Read more

Come for happy hour, it lasts until 9pm and has a range of good drinks! One favorite is the Smokey Margarita.

I don't know if I'm saying this right but they have an amazing drink called My own Master, it's flipping good!! The vibe is great.

This place is epitome of above average. Looks Dark on the outside, surprises on the inside! Badass attitude with good looks to boot. Spent my 23rd bday here and they were super friendly about it!

Happy hour from 5 to 10, with really great cocktails for $5. Cool decor, and friendly staff. Eat at the Greyhound, and then wander over to La Cuevita.

Friendly, welcoming bartenders with a strong knowledge of tasty herbal liquors, like Becherovka, make your experience at The Little Cave unforgettable.

Sol is the best bartender in LA :) and there's a new patio! It's Highland Park at it's best. Divey but not too sceney and everyone is real sweet.

It’s hard to find cool, dark bars in Los Angeles and this tickled that itch. Sucks that they allow smoking on patio — smoke trickles into bar area so don’t wear anything nice

Happy Hour 5-9 is pretty awesome. Live music and a nice outdoor seating area too.

Happy hour has recently been increased to $6 cocktails, but also extended to 9pm!

Great little dive bar, but what's up with everywhere in LA needing a DJ for zero reason? Avoid when someone is playing.

Throw back a spicy, chocolaty Mole Manhattan. Made with Carpano Antica, it’s excellent cocktail revisionism: Read more

Good vibe!

Not the cheapest drinks, and had trouble finding enough room for our group of 7 to hang out.

Ask for a Basil mash, it's delicious.

Chris is the best bartender here hands down.

I like it, which says alot
Miss CCAugust 19, 2011
It's a chill little spot but I HIGHLY recommend to use cash only. They over charge you on credit. I got over charge $3 twice. Use cash or double check your bank statement.

In February of 2011 I got my purse stolen at the Little Cave. Bouncers were useless to help me stop the thief and so was the local police department. AVOID THIS BAR AT ALL COSTS.
ChristieMarch 2, 2010
For some reason, it's always nice to get hit on here. The men are never sleazy about it.
