Jaime is by far the best bartender that took care of us and went above and beyond with his services as a bartender, the best!

I love the vibe at this night club. Everyone is very sweet and kind. You don't have nothing to do on Friday nights this is the place to go for drinks and to dance. I know mostly everyone in here you can celebrate your birthday too or anything. There is go go dancers and at midnight there is a show.

So I recently went here and got assaulted by someone inside the bar, I called the police and the security guard acted like he didn't see anything, I went again to give it another chance and the security guard said I was banned ? For being assaulted? So confused but honestly this guy always gives everyone a hard time, he definitely makes my rating to this place low, hope they replace him soon

The name Chico is descriptive in being a small dive bar at an obscure small, dimly lit strip mall. Wednesday night at 11pm, a door man asks for $5 entry & hands you a token for a drink at the bar inside. Fair enough trade. Bar stocks hard liquor as well as beer. Inside is a down home neighborhood bar with dance floor which caters to a mainly Latino/Hispanic crowd. At the time I was there, there was an amiable, machismo atmosphere and no feeling of being treated as an outsider from the neighborhood. A gogo dancer in a strap bikini performed for our entertainment, and one of the bartenders shook my hand to welcome me. Nice small town feel and none of the typical hype & oneupsmanship found in West Hollywood. In this age of the Internet, which is forcing many bars to disappear and so many people choose to "meet on lIne" and boast about having 5,000 "friends" when in reality 99% of these "friends" are at most remote acquaintances, CHICO provides LGBT's a wonderful opportunity to meet in real time to create connections & most importantly community. Bravo! 4- Yelp stars.

This was my first time going to this club/bar. My friend didn't wanna dive all the way downtown so we decided to check this place out. It's super cute, a bit small, but cute. I love the lights and music. I asked the DJ to play a song for me and he immediately did it and with video. It made me really happy. I was so surprised that the drinks were very affordable. I got one and one for my friend for $15. The bartender was so nice and attentive. They also have dragshowz and dancers and they all did a wonderful job. Of course I always tip. You definitely should check it out. I had a blast. It's free cover before 10.

See all

Local, East Los bar near the Hollenbeck police station and LA public library. Limited street…read moreparking. Watch street signs for parkIng restrictions. Felt as though I were in México, not in Distrito Federal but in a less cosmopolitan city where in the old days Straights and Gays kind of mixed together although in some bigger venues there were areas where Gays had their own corner. Redz Bar is too small for separation, and it makes it hard to determine who is who. I was there on a busy Saturday around 9pm. All the tables were taken by party goers. I stole one of the few bar stools still left. Beer & wine bar: Ordered a Michelada that is bloody mary mix from a bottle, lemon juice, worchester sauce?, Modelo Mexican beer. The lip of the huge mug is lined with a salty, not very piquant chile powder like El Tajín. It's a refreshing, savory, Umami bomb just perfect on a hot day or night. My first Michelada ever. So I look around and it seems like a regular neighborhood Latino bar. If there are any Gays they were sprinkled around and not particularly & obviously visible. The friendly bartendress offered a free plate of antojitos / snacks which consisted of a small Tamal de Puerco con Salsa de Chile Colorado, and a bowl of Bírria soup in consommé w/ a small piece of goat. To me this Bírria tasted closer to a Pozole. Very hospitable gesture by Redz to give out such a tasty mini-meal. Redz caters to an East Los Angeles clientele. It's a liitle piece of México. Music is loud with Norteño & Son Afro-Mexican music from Veracruz tonight. I felt comfortable, and a nice Latina lady sitting next to me talked in her limited English and I in limited Spanish. Nice way to experience the East Los scene. 4 stars.

It also comes with a wine bottle which is fabulous ! I asked for their rec from our waiter Louis and he said their Merlot and it was so yummy! Soo thank you (: So it goes like this, New York for two deal for $75.99 and the Rib Eye deal for $78.99 and you cook it yourself and their grill with all the seasonings and fix ins. I've been there two times with my boyfriend and both times we made our steak perfect. They also make their drinks ( I ordered a tequila soda ) pretty strong I might say. They have like 3 or 4 bartenders available so they were pretty attentive. Waiters were also attentive. We went around 7:30pm on a Saturday night. A crowd of adults from all ages were singing karaoke. It was good vibes, but it looks like it gets busy and packed. There is back parking, but if you do not know how to back up and park then you are basically screwed on a busy night so be prepared. So past couple times were well worth the price of a yummy do it yourself steak meal and some litty drinks. (:

This was my first time there after hearing about it for a while now…read more The Venice Room did not disappoint. I loved the cozy space and the dim lighting, perfect for a local bar. The draw for me was that you are able to cook your own steak! Wow, so much fun. There are all kinds of spices and rubs to put on your steak and then its grill time. A complete dinner is available, served with a large baked potato, 2 pieces of garlic toast and little salad bar. I found the drinks to be well priced and the service was excellent. The bartender gave me crap for ordering girly drinks, but it was all in good fun. Oh and Friday they had some awesome Karaoke going on. I will 100% be back at The Venice Room.

I was looking for an event type of thing to take my boyfriend to for his birthday and came across…read morethe Disney Drag Show Brunch on Eventbrite. What a fun time! The negative I have is the lack of details for the show. Perhaps I wasn't looking on the website thoroughly but there wasn't anything about show start time, brunch, etc. As it was our first time, it would've been helpful (minor negative). Also, I wasn't aware of the 18% they tack onto the bill for the brunch, but it is on their website, so a heads up. The locations itself is on the 2nd floor above the Cheese Superette and Lüstern. We weren't sure where exactly the entrance was as it can be easy to miss, but the small overhang sign for it can be see. What's more easily identifiable is the pride flag over it. We got there fairly early so killed time before. Security out front checks IDs then let's you in. And it's a short walk up a flight of stairs to get to the Precinct. Pretty decent sized space with several bar areas. The brunch spot was separate from the rest of the space with a stage in front of the video screens. The host scanned our tickets and then took us to our table which I reserved the a hightop for 2. All the tables were set for the brunch service and show. Anthony our server and who I think was also bartending took our order explaining to us that the show was sold out and that ordering early is suggested before it gets busy. We took a look at the menu and decided on the Peach Bourbon French Toast and Coco's Chilaquilles with chicken along with some much needed coffee. Anthony as well as the rest of the staff were fantastic, checking up on us and refilling our coffees and water, seeing if we needed anything else. Food was delicious, Chilaquilles were delicious, lots of chicken, chips crispy under the sauce, perfect over easy eggs alongside my side of bacon which was also cooked perfeclty. The Peach Bourbon French Toast was good as well. Large peach slices that delicous bourbon sauce over lightly fried french toast. The tots was super crispy too. Delicious. Now onto the show. It was fantastic, all the performers were exceptional, I loved how they covered every part of the brunch space really utilizing it as their performance area. At the beginning and in the middle they come around if you need change for $1's which is super helpful if you hadn't brought smaller bills for tipping the performers. Outfits were on point, the host was fantastic, singing their song, interacting with the crowd and also keeping the show moving along. They did invite birthdays to come up and lip sync for their life...well for a complimentary shot. What's not to love with Disney and drag? At the end you could go up to the performers to interact and take pictures...I'm terrible with names but they were so great. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely come again!

You enter through a door and go up a flight of steps to the main entrance. It's a pretty big layout with multiple bars and then a side area for sitting or smoking as there's windows that open up to the outside. I did not drink or eat anything here. I was a little bit hesitant to go because it's a gay bar with mostly males and I didn't want to get the, "What is she doing here?" look, but nobody gave a eff. Everyone was pretty much in their own world and mainly socializing and catching up with each other. In the main room there were go-go dancers and I got to meet Greg since my friend is friend's with Greg's friend and he was my favorite dancer! Aside from that, I surprisingly had the best time!I was planning on leaving 45 minutes after I got there because I was tired and I thought it would be awkward, but I ended up staying until 1 a.m. straight dancing my ass off because the music was that good! I took a break around 12:45 am because it was getting hot in there and when I went back to the dance floor the music got super loud and more crowded and I became super aware and overstimulated and called it a night. If you're looking for a fun time with friends Precinct is a vibe and the people that work there and just overall patrons are friendly and in a good mood. I witnessed no drama when I was there!

New Jalisco Bar near the old L.A. Times building was a mainstay for Latinos, but that died out during Covid when bars were forced to close. Also, for historical value, must list Harold's and Waldorf's which were pre-1980's and were notorious for hustlers. Waldorf's particularly got the reputation for having drag queens who supposedly stuffed their handbags with a heavy object to use as a weapon to sling around and protect themselves. Now the former owners of Redline are establishing a new bar, Kiso, which was also home to the former Score and 107, and caters to LGBTQ+ Communities. Kiso is split into three spaces: 1) Front is airy, bright, and more for Happy Hour conversations over signature cocktails and has the original, old school, long bar, that reeks of OG (Old Gay) history, from the present Barclay Hotel. 2) Middle room is more chicly sedate with more comfortable lounge seating and darker to create a more intimate atmosphere. 3) The inner room has a large dance floor and entertainment venue to host shows and related events. Some representative entertainment are DJ driven themed dance parties, obligatory drag shows, private events, fund raising, etc. Hours are 7pm to 2am Wednesday to Saturday if there are enough guests using the space. Due to lack of kitchen facilities, food will not be a main focal point. You can host an event at https://www.sickening.events/e/ Good to see that DTLA has representation within the LGBTQ+ Biosphere. 5 stars for continuing to create new spaces for the newer generations.
