These guys know their drinks! If you're a whiskey drinker (like me), this is a bar that can't be missed! Also, Wednesday nights they have bands that come to play. Great times!- Kyle PichaMarch 27, 2019Found out about this bar from on theskedge.com because they post they were doing a karaoke night. It was a lot of fun, yeah I sang a little lol. Drinks were pretty cheap for LA especially happy hour.
- Jay GrantOctober 2, 2016Had a great whiskey sour from a skilled bartender. Was pretty empty on a Tuesday which actually was nice. Loved that there were board games.
Fantastic spirits list, amazing cocktails, great bar snacks and sandwiches!
For food, Vagabond Grillyard pops up every Tuesday and Wednesday for happy hour 5-9pm. Great grilled cheese and tomato soup.
John KiddeJune 8, 2016Nice bar, open walkways and seating area, friendly bartender & service, Cherry Lime Ricky is very strong.
Excellent bar with great service and phenomenal selection. Vince is the man and makes an over the top old fashioned- Ilse KrugerApril 5, 2016Yummy craft cocktails, happy hour, and the best disco fries with pork belly.
Good service, cocktails are good, only serves food on weekdays, not weekends, happy hour all week till 8 pm

Victoria BApril 29, 2014Passion fruit daiquiri is the perfect combination of sweet, sour and passion fruit.
Jeanette Hernandez HazbunMarch 23, 2014Try the Autum Crush. Excellent bourbon mixed drink. Well balanced.
Have patience when waiting to place your drink order. It takes forever.
