    Bar Henry is a great neighborhood cocktail spot in Echo Park. The vibe is intimate and stylish. Moody lighting, velvet seating, and a cozy atmosphere. The drinks are excellent, strong classics and creative cocktails, plus a good selection of beer, and wine. It does get busy on weekends, so seating can be limited and the noise level rises, but on weeknights it's much more relaxed and conversation friendly.

    Cool loungey atmosphere. Drinks were strong and tasty- just how I like it! Good service as well. I like the layout and how it's not so bright. Just chill and have a drink.

    What I can say, I really dig this place. I've been here a handful of times and I always enjoy good conversations over solid cocktails. Solid drinks, chill vibes, and dope sounds on deck, equals a rewarding formula. Beverages: 5/5. Based on the cocktails I've had, they're consistently good. Happy Hour menu is always great and I take advantage of it. Ordered a Negroni last night, but I've also enjoyed some of their combos (beer/shot of Mezcal) from the Happy Hour menu. Service: 5/5. On point. Handled. Nuff said. Ambiance: 5/5. Sure, the dark warm moody vibes are a plus. However, it's the local neighborhood bar feel, minus the lack of pretension (WEHO), and actual adults that make Bar Henry a winner in my book. It's refreshing to find a cocktail lounge/bar that gets it right and I always look forward to stopping in. Buen provecho.

    Visited Bar Henry a couple of months ago for the first time. The bar posted they were having a Palestinian fundraiser so I wanted to go support. Unfortunately when I walked in there wasn't anything indicating or blatantly obvious that the fundraiser was going on. Anyway, I still ordered a drink (dirty martini) and a pretzel. I'm sure the drink was well made I just wasn't a fan of olives and vodka together so I'll probably never order that in my life. The pretzel was honestly pretty disappointing, I've had better. I'd definitely go back because it wasn't a loud bar and it was a place I can see myself catching up with a friend.

    Tasty fantastic drinks! The Flattened Priest, on Bar Henry's menu is one of the best Mezcal cocktails I've ever had! We came to celebrate our friend's birthday, a private event and had the BEST time at Bar Henry. I didn't get any photos of my drinks, they were simply divine & I was too busy enjoying the night. Dancing to good tunes, hanging with friends & ringing up a bar tab that was worth it! The staff is super friendly and good vibes all around. I'll be back for more Flattened Priests - the best Mezcal drink with a Taramind mini spoon of delight inside! Tajin rim! Let's go!!!! Just a heads up - beware of the edge of the bar when placing your drink down. It slopes downward aka not flattened like my fave drink. So don't let your cocktail slide off & hit the ground. Or be the hero and catch someone's recently set down cocktail as it slides off the bar. I'm 1 for 2 with the save. Aside from that bar table challenge - everything else is superb!!!

    Neighborhood bar. Super chill Vibe. Naked and famous is my go to drink. Cool chill spot to check out after a evening Dodgers Game. Parking: street parking all around.

    I always thought this was an upscale fancy bar but it turned out to be a super chill neighborhood (dive) bar. That wasn't what I expected and I thought the vibe was really cool. I saw a DJ Booth but there was no music when I was there. Just FYI. No food. Happy Hour. Street parking only.

    Love Love Looove Bar Henry. Super chill spot with a great staff, ultra accommodating owners, delicious cocktail program and comfortable vibe. Just stopped in last night and tried the "Under the Milky Way" cocktail made with precision by the ever-so talented Julian and it KNOCKED MA SOCKS OFF! The epitome of drinkable! So good I had to check it twice. D.J. was playing some great tunes and it was a TIME! Bar Henry is a place that I hold in my heart and can guarantee it'll treat you right whenever you find yourself in the neighborhood. Much love.

    Bar Henry is a gem to polish off your Dodgers Day or swing by to catch up with friends. The inside has low lights and a cozy atmosphere. I tried the Butthole Surfer which came in a fun tiki type glass. This cocktail packed a great punch that could have you riding on a wave as time slips by. We bellied up to the bar, met with smiling faces and cordial nods. I will definitely find another occasion to visit.

    Not exactly sure how long this bar was around, but I just went for my first time recently. And I think I found new favorite spot to drink in the area especially before or after Dodger games. The vibe is pretty chill here and the bartenders are really cool. They have a great selection on whisk(e)y and of course the more higher end you go, the more it will cost you, but honestly, the relative pricing here feels really reasonable compared to other places you can find the same rare whiskeys. Came here to meet some friends after the opening day Dodger game, so parking and driving through the area was probably as horrible as you would imagine. I found parking a few blocks away and came in and sat at the bar area. My friends were already drinking, but I started with a pour of William Larue Weller. One of my faves! I also got some Blanton's Gold before leaving. Really liking the selection here. I could see this being a great spot grabbing a drink before or after dinner here as well especially since it seems like so many exciting and great restaurants are in the area. I hope to be coming back quite frequently around dining adventures and Dodger outings. There was another spot I used to go to in the area for drinks around Dodger games, but with all due respect to the other spot, I feel like I'm getting way too old to deal with the crazy crowds, haha. This place definitely feels more my speed.

    I've passed Bar Henry so many times and always wanted to check it out. One night while driving down Sunset, we finally made it in. I had the Butthole Surfer, which is basically a frozen Pina Colada. It was really good, but I really didn't need the extra dark rum floater... after that one drink I was one and done! I liked the dark and cozy vibes and the service was excellent. Our bartender was so funny and friendly. I'll most definitely return.

    I was out one night looking for a place to take my friend and help cheer him up after part of his house burned down. I was driving along Sunset Boulevard when I looked over and saw the sign for Bar Henry. It looked like it might be what we needed and once we parked it turned out to be EXACTLY what we needed. I like dive bars and also neighborhood bars and this is an awesome amalgam of the two: too nice to be a dive bar in to locate to be a big time hang. So it sits somewhere in the sweet spot of what I like. Decor inside was really well done and simple and the music really vibe. The pictures of different musicians on the wall are all quite interesting and there was both window seating and patio seating. I would love it if this place had food but that would turn it into something altogether different and since they did drinks really well I honestly didn't miss it. (And that's saying something cuz love food). Besides, it gave me an opportunity to visit someplace else after I was done at Bar Henry because the neighborhood (Echo Park) was just loaded with awesome places to go. But for the two hours I was there, Bar Henry was just fine. Apparently, on weekends Thu-Sun) they have a DJ and, considering the chill ass music they were playing without a DJ, I can only imagine that having a DJ there is a "cool as hell" experience. Btw, there is ample neighborhood parking which, in and of itself, is reason enough to go there.

A group of my friends and I have come here three different times, really wanting to like this place because the atmosphere is beautiful and lively. Unfortunately, each visit has been consistently disappointing due to the same bartender--a shorter male with visible tattoos and facial hair, who seems to regularly work one side of the bar. On all three occasions, we experienced being ignored while trying to order, even as other guests who arrived after us were served first. The first time, we were eventually told "you guys can wait" in a rude tone of voice while he continued taking other orders. The second time, we were never helped at all and had to move to another part of the bar, where a female bartender provided much better service. The third visit was the most concerning. When we tried to get his attention, he responded in a dismissive and rude tone, and as he walked away, we overheard him make an inappropriate comment about us under his breath calling us out of our name and we felt very disrespected so much so that we just left. We completely understand that weekends can get busy, but consistently dismissive and disrespectful service--especially across multiple visits--is not acceptable and we've also seen him be rude to other guests as well. Aside from this issue, the venue itself is great, which is why we gave it multiple chances. I really hope management can address this, as it impacts the overall appearance and experience of the establishment. Thank you.

We were able to get a seat on the coach and order drinks from the bar relatively quickly. Prices were pretty typical of LA ($18-25 a cocktail) but I would say I probably won't come back this late as it's in a shadier part of town. They have a bouncer and it was fine inside, but it's not a place where you can bar hop if that's what you're looking for as the area is seedy.

    NOVEMBER 26.2025…read more I've been through many iterations of The Library Bar over the years... from small and cozy secret bar for those that work in the looming skyscrapers of Downtown LA to being some noisy urban hip hop affair that served godawful drinks (see my past review!), and on back to being a calm and casual neighborhood bar again. The interior never changes... dark... illuminated by candlelight... the bust of Shakespeare over the fireplace, the shelves of old books-- all of it remains intact. But this latest Library Bar seems to have finally dialed in what was always sorely missing in that it showcases a conscientious staff that all seem to know how to mix drinks while treating the customer well by leaving them be. On one night my date and I share a "Black Manhattan," basically a Manhattan with the generous addition of Averna, and it's terrific. On another night, I go for Happy Hour and a few pints of Guinness on draft that are surprisingly proper and go well with their excellent and, I'm told, homemade Hummus & Veggies Plate. The music at this current Library Bar is pretty much on point and is never so loud as to interfere with the conversations that patrons seem to come here for... something you should come here for too, and maybe at Happy Hour specifically if you're looking for a nice bump in your day and to spend an hour, well, happily.

In order to get to the nut, one must appreciate and wallow in the chocolate shell and its fudge coating. My friend Lorraine and I had just spent energy walking the MOCA so securing refreshments and a place to rest was next on the agenda. With the Conrad being one maybe two blocks from the MOCA, it became the destination for a moment of rest. We walked, and we just kind of figured, easily, that the lobby had a bar. We figured it out easily because we kind of just picked up, along the way, that most, gorgeous and lux hotels have lobby bars. As you enter the lobby of the Conrad you were greeting with vivid pink Cherry Blossom shrubs. I wondered if they were faux or real? Regardless, the touch of temporary Spring was much appreciated, and made me wonder how the Conrad celebrates seasons and holidays with sophisticated and tasteful adornments. For St. Patrick's day I do not imagine the Conrad placing inflatable Shamrocks in specific places but rather emerald wreaths decorated with Swarovski rainbows. Meaning that the Conrad will not stoop to support cheer and mirth with over played tchotchkes. As I explored the lobby I continued to spot the elegant details that together made the Conrad lobby a lux environment where the thought of boorish behavior banish to the isles of dive bars and bro-outs. I saw a curtain that draped to the floor. I ran my fingers and the cloth felt good, it also made me feel like I was a heroine capturing dynamic footage for a commercial. I clipped the moment, but, I would have felt the commercial montage vibe, even if I did not clip a video of the moment. There were also these cubes with a red slit that looked like a funky dragon eye. I clipped those too. I took time to notice how the environment made itself luxurious and aesthetically pleasing. In that way I enjoy the sparkle of a diamond ring not just appreciate the ring because it is expensive. Lorraine and I finally found a place to sit outside around a bonfire. From where we sat we were able to view a geometric wonder or in other words an LA building. The building, to the side of the Conrad, looked like stacks cubes in a layered way. The intent was not uniformity, it was building floors like a step stool so that a short giant could reach a pantry item above his reach. Two sides of the building were beige, the middle blue in windows. Finally, it did not looked like a four dimensional shape, like most building does, it rather looks like a corner slice of a round building cake. I got all these images as I revisited the picture. Being there, sitting outside in an elevated patio, with a burning fire pit, while eating corn nuts that were brought to my hand via a spoon, was a relaxing exercise that demanded rest, reflection, and presence to enjoy the comfort owed to us because we sought it and we were humble enough to find splendor amongst it. Of course, the step stool building was not the only marvel that we appreciate because of a new found level. We also enjoyed the Hollywood sign beyond the distance. If I were a tourist to the city of Angels, and saw the Hollywood for the first time from my hotel, I think I would plotz. We also saw the odd curves and wings of the Disney Concert Hall. And nearby there was a single sculpture on the Conrad's grass. I would consider where we sat a nest, to enjoy the beauty of all around us, as we waited for someone to bring us food, that thankfully they would not chew and then feed to us because then a crass vibe would be invited to the stronghold reserved only for the demure. The environment of this place, as the above paragraph suggests, is the flex. My friend Lorraine and I split a cheese and meat board, charcuterrie, I know I spelled it wrong. But here in this place they called it something different--- cheese and embudinitos. This was a solid board, nothing dramatic, nothing over the top good but the perfect set of bites for the moment where we sat and saw and sipped and then also sat back. The one huge miss of the moment was my drink---the Vesper a Vodka concoction. The server explained that it was going to be balanced more than sweet. I took sips and the motif of elevated elegance became hard hitting alcohol swill. The drink had no subtle presence, no restrain in taste. It was a pure alcohol kick, like I was trying to get drunk cause that alone was a cool fact. I did not send the drink back because I could handle the sips that tasted more like shots. I am not going to lie, it was a good buzz on a glass, but in terms of it being a composed creation, it simply was not. I read the menu, and the drink was vodka, gin, and a third ingredient that sounded french but was spelled with apostrophes but not at the end. Maybe what I responded too was the gin not the vodka. In short, I would go here again whenI need to relax with sip, snacks, and enjoy immersive views of sky and skyline.

    It was my first time here. The place is very nice and love the decor…read more The parking is valet or street parking. The service was very good. The chicken was a little in the dry side but overall all the food was good. We will be back!

    I'll start with the positives. The location is very nice. Designed with an elegant, but…read moreminimalistic vibe. I love that, traditional mixed modern social dining feel. I had placed a phone order, for pick up; upon arrival, I found the service was prompt. I saw my food ready to go, just past the main walk-in area. Almost immediately after that, I was taken care of by the host and on my way. I've been waiting to try this place for ages so on the drive back to work I was excited to steal a piece of meat from the bag. Initial bite flavor was good, meat was tender just a bit on the chewy side.. I wasn't bothered by it too much as I'd have to leave it in an oven warmer at work. Trying to keep food warm, in doing so, I knew there'd be only two possible outcomes, melting tender or either tough & dry. So, the dish of meat and rice sat in the warmer for almost an hour hour and a half. The downhill slope.... Set the "meat " on the veggies and began to eat. Meat after meat, I kept experiencing the same exact texture. It was the same exact rubbery chew, I initially tasted. Each and every piece was the same exact flavor. There was no peak, there was no pitfall. If you cook or grill, you know this is a red flag. Normally, consistency would be a good thing, a Master craftsman type experience, but this was NOT it. As go on, I get the sinking feeling, this can't be real meat. I lock in, the deeper I dig, each piece looks the same, broken apart the same, tastes the same, just various shapes. They can call me crazy for this one - I'll stand by it. Something is not right here. I'm not even going to throw it away. I'm going to study it for the next few days and post an updated review. I hope I'm wrong but as of right now, I'll never revisit this place. Too freaky of an experience. We

    My boyfriend's cousin and his girlfriend came to LA to visit us so we had a full weekend of fun…read moretaking them around the city. To end the night before we headed off to dinner, we stopped by The Semi- Tropic bar for drinks. The parking situation was difficult to say the least-- there is no street parking or parking lot. And the neighborhood behind the bar is filled with park cars. We were lucky and parked at a parking lot that was for the surrounding business (so sorry to the pizza/ weed shop!). We arrived at around 6:30 PM so it wasn't too busy. We were greeted by one of the servers and she gave us options to either sit at a lounge table area or hightop tables. We opted for the hightop tables because we knew we weren't staying there for long. The server was friendly and patient as we looked over the menu for drinks. I've been sober for about a year so I only had water, my boyfriend ordered a Naoshima Dream, his cousin ordered a Mango Cart, and his cousin's girlfriend ordered a Lemon Drop Martini. The bar was super cute and hipster! I honestly would have loved going to this bar back when I used to drink. It's dimly lit, had a vintage 20's speakeasy feel to it and the music was a vibe. I'd recommend coming here for a little date with your partner or even coming with a group of friends. My boyfriend had been here once before and he said the food was really good and affordable. He had a panini and said for bar food it was a 10/10. We waited maybe like 10 minutes for our drinks to come, we were having such a fun time chatting and enjoying the environment that it didn't feel long at all. My boyfriend, his cousin, and his cousin's girlfriend really enjoyed their drinks. They said the drinks tasted "light" insinuating that there was barely any alcohol in it. Don't let the taste fool you, after finishing half of their drink there were full of smiles, giggles, and had a great buzz going. The prices here were all pretty fair for the cost and quality of the drinks. Would defintely recommend coming here for drinks and dinner for a date night or a night out with friends!
