    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    These were the 2 whiskey cocktails and one other that slips my mind.

We decided to get a drink to celebrate Father's Day, only to strike out at the first two bars we tried--I guess a lot of places are closed at 9:30 on a Sunday. This is how we ended up at Thunderbolt, a buzzy bar in Echo Park, just far enough away that we'd never made our way over. I loved it immediately. Thunderbolt has the friendly, comfortable atmosphere of a neighborhood bar and the hip aesthetic and high-level cocktails of a millennial boozer destination. (Not that young people can't or shouldn't hang out here, but it seems especially geared toward people like us, who drank at Walker Inn a decade ago.) We ended up sitting next to a guy who regularly drives up from Palos Verdes. I guess the place gets pretty busy, but it was ideal on a Sunday night. Happening but not crowded, with just enough space at the bar for us to grab two seats together. The bartender was great, super helpful and welcoming. He also made excellent drinks. Thunderbolt is one of those bars with an encyclopedic illustrated book for a menu. Not a long menu, just a detailed one, with a lot of information available about each drink. We got a Liquid Picnic and a Barcelonnette--just one round to close out the weekend. Both were delicious. The Liquid Picnic was a smooth, savory gin martini made with London dry gin, tomato, citron, vermouth, rosemary, and black pepper. I learned from the book that it used clarified tomato water. (There was also further reading about the clarification process.) The Barcelonnette was a mezcal sour with Suze, passionfruit, and lime, the foam made without egg white through some geeky mixologist process. Thunderbolt is not our neighborhood bar, but we plan to go back when we can to check out the rest of the menu. It's a wonderful place, well worth a jaunt on the freeway.

I'm not even gonna lie, I saw this place from the outside and thought I was going to have to fight for my life. LOL! I'm a city girl and I can't help that it looked sketch on the outside. Blame my city upbringing, moving forward. LOL Now when we stepped inside, isssssa vibe! We sat the bar and immediately started ordering food. We let the bartender know that we don't drink and she offered to make these ice cold tea drinks and she killed it! Whatever she made, refreshed the hell out of me and I loved it! She was pretty chill and made us feel welcome. There was another gentleman there that took our food orders and I'm not sure if he was another bartender or the owner, but he was pretty chill, too. We didn't want to be in the way at the bar with all of our food while everyone was having a good time, so we moved to a table. People were having cold ones and dancing. It was good to see everyone enjoying themselves! I told yall---vibes! Little did we know at the end of the bar is a whole dining area! This joint was pretty big! So that's where you would pick up your food. When I tell yall we ate it down, we ate it dowwwwwnn! We ordered a half shrimp/half oysters po boy, fried pickles, charbroiled oysters, wings, and I forget what it was called but we had another po boy with everything from shrimp to gator....washed it all down with a cold Dr Pepper..don't hate. lol They already had me on the fried pickles, so I don't know what else to tell you except not to sleep on this place!****sings I'm going going, back back, to Cali Cali***

Not sure why. Look, I'll never come back so I don't really care about the bartender, but I care about constant spam and disregard for patrons privacy. You're a bar so you gotta stop. You're not that important and everyone hates texts so you're burying yourself. Please stop.

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!
