The oldest liquor license in LA, and they even have a vintage Pac Man arcade game . Very chill atmosphere and totally casual . Props to their beer selection .
I went along with witch doctor Malak’s insistence that his golden gopher statue was to be worshipped, mostly because my hands were bound, but also because his charts and graphs made a lot of sense.
Best bar in #DTLA. They can make any cocktail you want, and the staff is so friendly . There's a smokers lounge , thumbs up for that ???????? Last but not least, we loved the music they played
The oldest bar in Los Angeles! Also, one of the only bars that you can purchase beer to go! The Golden Gopher was established before liquor laws even went into place. Time for a pint!
One of my favorite bars in LA . Best bar to go downtown for a fun crowd. Good drinks, good vibe...great nights.
Beer and cocktails . They keep it pretty simple here. Love that you can buy booze at the front on the way out.
A weekend #happhour? Yes please! Also drink/pizza combos thanks to Pellicola next door!
Get a free game of pool or a jukebox play on your first check-in, and on every fifth check-in thereafter. The Mayor receives 1/2 price on tap beers . Specials apply to regular pricing, not happy hour .
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. This place has a liquor license so old, you can stop in for a martini at the bar and pick up a six-pack on your way out.
Solid dive. Can’t complain. Chill people, plenty of space.
Great vibes and outdoor alley. You'll meet some characters.
I love this divey little bar . They have cynar!
Pac man and galaga can be played here; super dark inside though.
The cocktails are great
Saturday night, great vibe, music , $6 beers . Feels like NYC
Love this bar ! They have a liquor store inside. You can purchase beer to go!
The bartenders here are amazing and the East End on the rocks is a delicious cocktail .
This place’s liquor license dates back to 1905. That’s before the Ford Model T. Which means you can order drinks to go. To. Go.
Make sure you come on a Sunday night, Rizzo the bar tender with the red hair is my Fav!!
Pick up a craft brew from the in-bar beer store , 8th St Bottle Shop, on your way out.
Happy hours are: Sun & Mon nights from 8pm-2am; Tues-Fri 5pm-8pm! $4 drafts , $5 well drinks & $2 off of everything else!
If your hungry, fear not this bar actually serves pizza . A downside is the lack of multiple pool tables .
Great bartender & good ambience
You can have pizza delivered. Just ask the bartender how.
Tell Jesse - one of the bartenders - to surprise you! You won't regret it! (Well , maybe next morning...)
Small selection to-go, but a to-go selection nonetheless. Enjoy.
Love the draft beer .
Comfortable patio area .
Most fun bar in downtown
$5 dollar beers on happy hours .
One of the most requested songs on the jukebox is Blondie's Heart of Glass.
Awesome tap selection curated by the Beer Chicks.
Tremendous craft beer .
They don't open till 8pm on Monday's but it's happy hour all night long once they do.
Ask for Sonny, the best bartender , to make you one of his signature concoctions that will satisfy your tastebuds.
Beer is very reasonable
Jesse must be one the best bartenders in the world!
My hidden gem .
Say hello to my little friend!
This place and Casey's are the best in LA.
They might not let you in if you're wearing shorts . They definitely won't let you in if you are a crazy person.
Hey hemang! Let me buy you a beer ...whoever is mayor buys, 1/2 price drafts !!!
Talk to Travis about whisky . Talk beer with Jesse.
love the new pool table !
If you can't get into 7 Grand because of your knit cap, go to GG.
It might get weird if you take your shirt off.
Weekend happy hour !
Low life = PBR & bulleit shot for a tenner
If deeznuts are bothersome ask Kirky and he can cup till you're happy.
Play Galatia!!
Amazing little bar. It's dark though but the bathrooms are super clean! - Elia Pacheco
Boneless buffalo wings, fried pickles, live music, plenty of tasty burgers and a good selection of liquor. Ask to try something interesting like the Old Grove Ballast Point Gin. - Adrian Phillips
Art Deco bar with top-notch cocktails, punch bowls, vintage board games, and bowling. - Serious Eats
Nice bar for the connoisseurs. Great whisky cocktails, bar staff is well versed on all to do with whiskies:). - Mick Mouseofcairo
Very dark and vampy. Cool bar when trying to find something to do in downtown L.A - Ambar
Their cider is amazing. You have to try it. Crisp and not too sweet. - Ethan Burnette
