    Pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere during the recent chess and mahjong event. Downstairs under…read morethe night sky there was a rowdy bunch huddling around the advanced mahjong tables. A bicycling group stopped by for a quick breather in the lot before heading back out. Event organizers were shuffling unsuspecting casual onlookers into playing regulars. In and around the brewery, focused chess matches were set up in dimly lit cosmic lighting, a stark contrast to the commotions from the music and the Lakers game on TV. Upstairs inside the brewery the attendees traded the cool, evening air for a noticeably stuffier experience. The space contained mostly beginner mahjong games as well as chess matches. I had the chance to engage in both activities and had a blast even though I got my butt kicked. Would love to come back and play a few more rounds with a drink in hand.

    First time here and I'm really glad I decided to stop by while killing time before a meeting near…read moreChinatown. The ambiance immediately stood out, great music, relaxed vibe, and even pet-friendly. They were also showing the Dodger game, which made the whole experience feel even more lively. I ordered one of their hoppy beers along with the scallop crudo with tostadas. The food did take a little while to come out, but honestly, it was worth the wait. I was a bit skeptical at firs, the presentation included tangerines and mint, which I'd never had with scallops before but the flavor combination totally worked. Everything tasted fresh, and balanced. The tostadas came out warm, which was a nice surprise. It made me wonder if they're handmade tortillas. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. Good vibes, solid food, and a place I'd definitely come back to.

Ambiance/Environment: Looove the vibes here. They have a small space, so it can get hot real quick. They'll check IDs at the entrance. There's in n out privileges until a certain time. Music: If you're into house music, then this is the lounge for you. They have different DJs during each set. Drinks: They offer beer, cocktails, and wine. I don't remember the names of the beer, but it did the job lol. The Mango Sticky Rice cocktail was really strong; I enjoyed it!

You're here to stay and savor the experience. OC holds no flame to these LA vibes. Lots of cool people, they carry local beers and the bartender can serve up some awesome drinks. Do some street parking, check out Chinatown in all its old glory before the gentrification takes over.

She will act like a B, turn around and will only pay attention to the men for very obvious tipping reasons ( female bartenders know this). BUT THE WORST THING? For the love of god, Swamp, remove me from your marketing texts. They will sell your info and bombard you with marketing texts. You hit report spam and they keep on changing numbers and sending texts. FFS swamp, stop or you're going to have some issues with reporting. As a child who grew up in restaurants because my mom was a server her whole life, I find myself to be hopelessly nice to staff and of course tipped the hipster bang bartender ( don't know her name but I had those bangs in 2016 so that's just her name to me) I was exceedingly nice and this bartender doubled down. 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.

A lightbulb went off & my friend and I remembered Evangeline! Hard to find until you find it, then you're transported to New Orleans until you stumble out. The drinks? Authentic, strong, true. Might be a bit sweet but they'll lay off the syrup if you ask nicely. Better yet-- the food from owner's next door Little Jewel is top notch and meant to be shared. Po' Boys, gumbo, fried alligator... A sleepy hang in the early evening but if there's a Dodger game, maybe mosey on down the road as it will be PACKED.

Food - burgers are bombs, wings are a delight especially when they both come out quick. The warmth of the food compliments the taste of their beers perfectly. Although, I would t Ask to go lighter or on the side fort he buffalo sauce. Just cause it becomes a soggy mess. Their tatter tots are crispy and perfect with more beers. So, its a yes for their food. Service - friendly and fast. Restroom - usually clean and well supplied. Cleanliness- decent for how many people pass through there. Parking- Street parking with a 2 hour limit. Also a 20 minute walk to dodger stadium. I think 2 hour parking ends at 5 or 6. Perfect walk to get more beer at dodger stadium.

    Bet up with our daughter's in-laws to celebrate dual birthdays. Started in the early afternoon at…read morethe Highland Park Brewery (HPB) in Chinatown. Good service, really great beer and cider, nice atmosphere, decent bar food. The location is near the Chinatown Metro station, so we walked the 0.2 miles. Everyone goes the opposite way from that station, going to Chinatown. Instead, we went the opposite way. It's the second time I've gone east from that station, walking on N Spring Street (used it once to go to Majordomo...HPB is a lot closer). Learnt that it's better to keep on the west side of Spring (next to the park), rather than cross immediately. The homeless encampments are really built up on the East side, fully occupying the sidewalk, making you walk in traffic. It's a pretty industrial part of the city, with a bit of street parking near the brewery. It was already fairly busy less than an hour after opening on a Saturday. It's 'sit-yourself', with both outdoor and indoor seating. There are multiple lines where you can place both your food and beer order. Beers are given right away, with food being delivered to your table later. Ended up placing my entire order at once, closing it out immediately. They use Toast as their payment processor, making it easy to get a digital receipt. Rattlesnake Wit Pitcher ($33) - enough for 4 pints. Witbier is my favorite style, and this one really hit the mark for me. Extremely light and fresh. Will seek this out to see if the cans are as good as the draught was. Granada Sincere Cider ($12) - my wife enjoyed her draft apple cider. Three food items, all pretty solid. Fish Chips appetizers ($18.50) used smaller cod pieces, well fried with decent fries. The Chips & Queso ($7.25) came out first: not a huge amount, but thick greasy chips that tasted good in the homemade yellow queso. Our cashier suggested animal cheese wedges ($12) - sidewinder french fried potatoes, covered in a chipotle sauce with grilled onions. It was tasty. All the bathrooms (three I think) are private gender neutral, with a common sink for washing. It got more and more crowded as we sat, and by the time we left an hour later, all the tables were taken. Popular place on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

    I have always loved tiki bars because I love themed experiences. But recently, that love has ramped…read moreup a notch. I've been going to them more and more, and The Lucky Tiki was one I definitely had to try out. First off, I have to praise 1933 group because I have loved every single bar they have revitalized and this one is no different. In keeping with their MO, The Lucky Tiki is a speakeasy with a vintage vibe. I won't give away how to get in but let's just say, it's near the front of Highland Park Bowl. My husband and I didn't have a reservation, but we were able to put our name in and got seated about an hour or so later. I was amazed as soon as I walked in the door! It's just floor to ceiling decorated with everything tiki. So many fun details and even interactive elements that turn on when a particular drink was ordered. That was probably my favorite part honestly. We ordered the Tiki Diablo, which is a large tiki drink with a flaming volcano. And yes it does have an interactive element. It was really good. Very fruity and strong, but not overly so. Service was excellent. Our waitress was on it and even waited to make sure my husband was back from the bathroom before lighting our drink on fire. We didn't try any food this time, but a lot of people were ordering the Hawaiian pizza. Do with that what you may. Will definitely be back ti try more drinks and food. Was the perfect spot for a lively date night!

    FYI this place requires reservations, yet they apparently do not honor reservations…read more I have friends coming into town from Greece, so I made a reservation because they love tiki but have no way of experiencing it in Greece, and so they even got aloha shirts to wear. So after having a reservation for weeks, I get a text from this place saying someone booked a private event so my reservation is cancelled. How about instead of accepting $$$ for a private event that will deny customers their reservation, they make the private event work around what is available? Terrible way of doing business, but I hope they get lots of $$$ and engagement for the privileged private event attendees.
