Valet: $12 I believe with a stand out front, street parking in the sawtelle area can be tricky but not impossible The highlights for me were the acorn noodle, Caesar salad, hotteok and the east side drink (it felt too minty and sour but paired well with the food). I would skip ordering the kimchi itself, the kimchi pancake. The kimchi was overly salty and the kimchi pancake was grainy and thick. It's a place you try out once and maybe come back to once in a blue moon.

Sunset & Vinyl is a hidden ish bar/lounge/speakeasy located above 800 degrees pizza on Vine. Just enter the pizza parlor, walk to the back and take the stairs up and you'll enter Sunset & Vinyl. Couches, chairs, vinyl records and turntables to play vinyls of your choice surround your, centered by a bar with a plethora of creative cocktails. The drinks aren't cheap, by any means, but they pass the flavor test, each very unique and you can really taste the nuances in each cocktail. Definitely a hidden gem in Hollywood, one that is highly recommended for the drinks, themselves, and the vibes of the spot. Next time you're in Hollywood and looking for a creative spot, go make your way to Sunset & Vinyl

We're so happy we stumbled upon this bar after catching a show at the Blue Note! It was a quiet…read moreThursday night, with only two other parties there when we arrived. At one point, it was just the two of us and the bartender, which made for a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. I unfortunately didn't catch her name, but she was incredibly welcoming, kind, and made us feel right at home. Sometimes the unexpected spots end up being the best finds! We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. Highly recommend stopping by!

We have also ordered fries at the bar and they are not only well seasoned, but they also have a crispy coating. The staff are all super attentive, professional and know how to create a great ambience for a good night out. There is valet parking. The bathrooms are pretty clean too!

The wait staff was super nice and the service was prompt and attentive. I went on a Monday, right after they opened at 5 pm, it already people sitting at the bar. The crowd was very chill, very typical Echo Park low-key characters, quite a few seemed to know the staff well. The food and drinks were all fine to me, I had a couple old fashions, my girlfriend had a specialty drink with brunt orange something, she liked it. We tried the chicken thighs, fried green tomatoes, and the chicken biscuit. They all were good, my only issue, the chicken biscuit item is not served on a biscuit like I was thinking , its just on a sandwich bun essentially. Overall, I would go again maybe on a Friday or Saturday night to see the difference, if any of the crowd and vibe.

They are know for their steaks, which were pretty good all around. I tried the steak sandwich which was cooked fine and tasted okay but really wish the meat was cut instead of a whole piece NY strip in between the bread. Also the "crispy onions" that go on the sandwich are just onions rings. I guess from the description I thought it was going to be a bit different but still not bad. The ceviche was good too. Overall everything was really solid and average price for the area. We had 2 servers, one of them was having an off day and you could tell but Victor really did his best to compensate and was really great. This would be a great space for a baby or bridal shower with the pink and green decor. I wouldn't mind coming back.

The bar staff know what they are doing and they are welcoming, chatty and chill. It feels like they actually want you there! My wife and I already love to swing by for a couple of post dinner drinks but we'll be back for some game day fun too - they have a bunch of screens. They don't do food BUT the couple who now own Her Little Bar also own a bunch of the restaurants nearby (Her Thai, Met Him At A Bar, and the recently opened The Night We Met). There are other great options too and whatever you go for, you can eat it in the bar. There's a good selection of drinks and the cocktails are solid. We already have a solid pub/microbrewery but this is a great bar with a different vibe. A bar has been in this location for years but we really love this new incarnation. The corridor between Wilshire Blvd and W 9th is becoming a great pocket for food and drink with good people looking for BS free good times and the Her Little Bar crowd, staff and management are a great example that. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.

But that being said ... the membership that you get for purchasing bottles doesn't meet expectations. I have spent upwards of $1000 in bottles over the last few months and that has given me a little bit of a membership. Well, we went in for their newest addition, the devil's quarter, and all was good until the end of the night. Well we're given a limit to drinks at the post show bar. Me, having a membership, thought oh maybe we can stay another hour and have a drink at our favorite place... nope apparently members are only allowed to have fun on Tuesday... so I guess my membership is irrelevant because it's not a Tuesday (when I usually work), not to mention the $500 in bottles I now have to walk around with to find another post show hangout because we were no longer allowed to stay. I would love to be able to spend more at the post show bar but the speakeasy part looses its value if it's limited to even its members.

We came to The Obscure for a friend's birthday and had such a fantastic night. This is definitely…read moremore of an experience than just going out for drinks. The atmosphere is immersive, theatrical, moody, and every nook and cranny of this place is beautifully detailed. Our group embraced the requested all-black dress code, and I was a little disappointed that some other guests didn't play along. When a place puts this much effort into creating a particular world, dressing the part really does make the experience more fun. The spirits themselves were excellent. We tasted vodka, whiskey, and rum, and all three were remarkably smooth, interesting, and clearly very high quality. I loved that the tasting was guided rather than just having drinks dropped in front of us. The storytelling and presentation made us pay attention to what we were actually tasting and gave the evening a nice sense of progression. We also happened to be there while comic artist Matt Harley of Marvel fame was sketching, which felt perfectly suited to the setting and made an already unusual night even more memorable. The space is gorgeous: candlelight, artwork, strange little details everywhere, dramatic lighting, beautiful glassware, and even the outdoor fire element. There's so much to look at that you feel like you're discovering something new every time you turn around. Our whole group LOVES Halloween, so this felt like the absolute perfect way to kick off spooky season. It has exactly the kind of dark, mysterious, slightly magical atmosphere we were hoping for without feeling cheesy or gimmicky. We loved the rum so much that we ended up buying a bottle, which also granted us Level 1 membership, so this definitely won't be our only visit. Such a fun choice for a birthday celebration, date night, or a night out with friends when you want something completely different from the usual bar experience. We're already looking forward to going back and seeing what our new membership unlocks.

As we approached Wolf & Crane Bar my gut sensed that this was not the place for me. It wasn't just…read morethat I was easily 35 years older than almost everyone, but also that I don't enjoy whiskey (of which they have a ton of different types) and I couldn't hear a thing being said over the music. So why'd I go, eh? This is almost too revealing but here's the truth: I was stuck in the stairway of a nearby apartment building when someone came down and told me how to get out. Once out, I was grateful, following my savior here, to a place at which she is a regular. I stayed for 1 drink, catching about every 4th word she said. Suffice to say, Wolf & Crane Bar - on Little Tokyo's edge - is a perfectly fine bar if you're young, like whiskey, and loud spaces. I probably checked all those boxes at one time in my life but not any longer. I walked by Wolf & Crane Bar multiple times over the next several days without the slightest desire to return. That doesn't mean it was bad at all; just that it wasn't for me. (P.S. They do have a full bar here, but their specialty is whiskey).

We…read moreswung by as a group of 4 after a concert and were able to get a table pretty quickly around 11 pm on a weekday. We grabbed some shareables like rabokki, soju, and bingsu. Portions are pretty good and there is plenty to share esp if you get one of the big boiling soups of goodness. Tteokbokki was good, not to sweet and not too spicy so hit a good balance. Soju was appropriately priced for the bottle and was a fun little refreshing drink. Now the bingsu, skip it if you can LOL the ice was super super icy like Hawaiian shave ice rather than Korean bingsu. Also felt very melted + iced over so crunchy in an unfortunate way. They also very clearly forgot that we ordered this but were on top of it once we reminded them. Service was friendly and helpful, definitely answered a lot of Qs at other tables when people had Qs about food items, portions, and ingredients. Parking is dicey around here but easy to Uber to/from. Also honestly pretty walkable if you are staying in K-Town. All in all, Anju House absolutely serves its purpose as a solid late night hang, but I wouldn't list it at the top for the beeest Korean food/snacks.
