Came by today right at 6. Door was locked and when I went to open it the lockbox on the handle popped open with the front falling completely open because...it's a broken lockbox ...with the key in it! I did my best to close it back up but it was so janky! I didn't want anyone to steal the key but I was so self conscious that I'd be seen as trying to break in my damn self. I left at 6:07 pm - nobody came. I'm assuming it either opens later with the wrong hours on yelp or someone was late to open. I've been curious about this spot for years and finally decided to try it. Glad it was on my way home. Wouldn't recommend :-/ read more

This was the largest jump scare of my life when I expected to walk into lost & found but instead found a sanitized bullshit artisanal cocktail bar with horrifically tacky Hollywood Blvd decor. Lost and found was one of my favorite dive bars on the planet. When I first moved to LA 10 years ago it was comforting to find a true dive with stale popcorn and cheap drinks like I had come from in the Midwest. To still have the old sign and same name outside is a disgrace. Like how most of the west side is turning, you've stripped all character out of this bar to conform for the tech douchebags with their generic haircuts. To say the renovation of this bar is a tragedy is an understatement. You should have let it stay closed. read more

Ambiance is excellent. Low key place with fun music. Wasn't super crowded which meant great and immediate service. Bathrooms were clean. Cocktails were excellent. Booths to sit and have a conversation were comfortable. Acoustics were great because you could have a conversation 10 feet from the dance floor and actually hear the other person. It's in a strip mall with parking. From the outside, it doesn't look like anything is going on. Had me fooled. This place is solid. read more

They absolutely massacred the best dive bar in Los Angeles. Way to take a historic dive bar and strip it of all its character. If they had been thoughtful about reopening and preserved the integrity of this institution, this could have been one of the coolest spots on the westside. And would have become very popular. Everything that made this place special is gone now. History has value in Los Angeles and instead of playing up that value, they went full cheap Vegas. And destroyed a community hub for the patrons who had been coming here for decades. It's like replacing beautiful original hardwood floors with gray laminate. Or leveling a Victorian house to build a modern condo. Devastatingly heartbreaking and devoid of charm. So sad that the new owners couldn't see what made this bar great. So sad to see the soul of the city chipped away even further. Call it something else because this isn't Lost & Found. read more

Do not go here!! On Saturday, June 7th my friends and I walked into this bar and we thought it was a pretty cool bar so we decided to just hang out for a little till we go to the next. Everything was going well and then we decided to start leaving to the next place. 5 of my friends left already to the next place but myself and my other friends were waiting for an uber. We thought why not order something till we wait. So I ordered it with the bartender who was wearing a black denim shirt (it was cute btw). She literally took SOOO LONG to give it to us and you want to know why? Because she was busy talking to her coworkers and etc. Look I'm all for enjoying and having fun especially if you work at a bar but why is it taking so long to get a drink if it was not busy AT ALL and we had asked if we can get it fast because our uber was on it's way and she agreed. Clearly I was not going to tip for that and trust me I've always been a great tipper. So after we drank our drink, our uber was here and we decided to get some water on our way out. While I was drinking water, the same bartender came up to us and YELLED at my friends and i and said "We work really hard you need to tip us right now!". Um... excuse me, first of all you can't ask someone to tip you and second why would I if my service with you was not okay. I'm sorry but a place whose service is not good and yells at me before leaving when I did nothing is not a place I want to be. RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL that's for sure. read more

I was a bartender at the Lost and Found in the early 90's when Andy owned the place. One of the best bars I ever worked at. Loved the regulars and even non-regulars. I went back to visit in 2018 and when I walked in I felt like I traveled back in time. EVERYTHING was the same, except the owner. Andy had passed. When I was in LA for the big USC/UCLA game (yes I'm a trojan) I stopped by the Lost and Found and was completely heartbroken to see it was permanently closed. That bar was a classic and there will never be another one like it. Thank you Lost and Found for such great memories. read more

I can't believe I haven't given this place a review! Let's start off by saying this is a LOCALS dive bar with stiff drinks. Lost & Found is found a little plaza next to a Chase and across the street from Whole Foods. This is 100% a locals dive bar. The bartenders have been working here for years and have developed relationships w the regulars. This doesn't mean you won't be welcomed, but there probably won't be any room at the bar for you and the vibe might feel unwelcoming since everyone else knows each other. That being said, I love this place but I'm a local lol. Gail is the BEST BARTENDER!!! Wooo Gail!!! There are regulars birthdays displayed in the bar and it isn't uncommon for someone to order everyone pizza. If you put a sad or low vibe song on, sometimes gail will skip it. She's just tryna keep the vibe going. I love this bar. I love their whisky sours, I love the people, and I love Gail! #LOCALSONLY read more

I had a great night at Lost & Found. The funny thing about this bar, personally, was that I'd been visiting the neighborhood my whole life because my grandma lived a few blocks a way. I'd been to this shopping center for years, going to the Blockbuster (remember those!?) or waiting for the bus across the street to get to summer school at UCLA. I'd been by Lost & Found, unable to go in, for so long. Years later I'd moved to LA and had totally forgotten about Lost & Found (didn't take the bus anymore and Blockbuster was long gone), when a friend asked if I'd heard of it and wanted to go. So I went, worried that years of mystique would have set my expectations too high. But no, in the years since I'd gained an appreciation for dive bars with heavy pours, and Lost & Found was just that type of establishment. I loved every moment of it. I loved the other patrons, the awesome bartender, the dingy lights, the fresh watermelon juice with vodka drink. Everything about it was excellent. Five stars for being just as cool as I imagined it would be when I stared at it, unable to go in, all those years ago. read more

Hole in the wall inside the middle of a shopping center. Drinks are cheap and so are the furnishings. Guests are interesting enough with just as interesting of a bartender. The options for decent whiskeys, vodka, gin, scotch...and hell all the liquor for that matter are very slim in choices. The beer selection is only bottled of uninspiring selections. The bathroom almost made me puke with the smell. The stall door is literally rotting away, barely hanging on by a thread of molded piss rotted wood.

The experience itself lasts about 40-60 minutes, which felt like the perfect amount of time. The only downside for me was that the bathroom is shared for both genders. For safety reasons, I personally wish they were separate--so ladies, I'd recommend going with someone just to be safe. You just never know.

I finally was able to check it off, thanks to a hotel offer with a dining credit. Dahlia is the gorgeous petite space behind the larger ground floor restaurant space now called Cabrillo (formerly Caldo Verde). Dahlia opened as a bespoke cocktail lounge, then began to offer tea. Now it's just tea. There are five 2-tops and two 4-top tables. All food and beverage venues at the Proper used to be under the auspices of famed chef Suzanne Goin and her business partner/sommelier Caroline Styne. They are no longer affiliated with the Proper, but many of their dishes/contributions remain. The last named vestige of them is on the tea menu, "Suzanne's Deviled-Egg Sandwich". The tea menu has several options: Classic, with a seasonal mocktail, or with different champagnes. I opted for the Classic experience, because the mocktail had mocha, not my fave. Server Lluvia was clearly a Dahlia veteran; she offered a tea-smelling of all the teas that interested me as well as crowd favourites. I ultimately chose one of these faves, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which had passionfruit and vanilla. I declined milk/cream, but did get lemon. There were rock sugar sticks on the table. It seems the selection of tea sandwiches and sweet treats changes every so often, although the vanilla bean scone, dried currant scone, Devonshire cream and apricot orange jam seem like constants. The sandwich selection at my visit were: cucumber, crab/creme fraiche, beet hummus on pita, smoked salmon and Suzanne's deviled egg. All were delish, the beet, crab and deviled egg especially. The sweet treats were: orange fig butter cookie, spiced apple brown butter crumble, cranberry frangipane hand pie, chocolate mocha macaron, pumpkin madeleine, plus the 2 scones. All were excellent. There were no leftovers. A bit pricey, but a relaxing and lovely experience. The room was not crowded when I visited, adding to the calmness of my visit.

The food is also fantastic. If you love seafood, I highly recommend the scallops The bar is EXTREMELY small, with less than like ten tables plus a few more seats at the bar. So reservations are key if you want to visit, especially during a busy time or one of their specialty themed seasons.

We had two separate servers because one went home during the middle of our dinner and both were equally horrible. Not even exaggerating when I say we waited at least 15 minutes after we asked for the check and there were probably only 10 tables in the entire restaurant. And we had to call her back over to ask for a second time. SMH. The food although flavorful was so ridiculously priced it was not even funny. I got a "ribeye ". Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it

The guests, come and go and at each moment, in any corner, be ready to be surprised and entertained by a live DJ, acrobat, burlesque performer, pianist and singer. What a show! Veronica at the bar was fantastic and made us drinks just to our order. Supper knowledgable, helpful and kind. Definitely, this place is a great hangout after a meal... be prepared to be be dazzled and entertained.

Gonna try to paint the picture in as few words as possible. Sorry for the long narrative:…read more 1) I planned out a special night for my wife throughout all of Level 8 2) Had reservations set at Lucky Mizu for Dinner to Mr. Wanderlust for Cocktails and Entertainment and then to Sinners and Santos for Drinking and Dancing for Latin Night 3) Showed up for our 6:45 PM reservation at Lucky Mizu but was turned away 3 times stating they didn't have seats available. After being seated 40 minutes later, service took 20 minutes to take our order, and another 30 minutes to be served. Food was 'okay', there was no entertainment, and multiple customers were unhappy with similar slow service... but some of them were comped parts of their meals.. we didn't even get a sorry until we spoke to the manager on our way out, expressing the reason was they had no idea it would be this busy on a Thursday (they take reservations, so...), and also blamed an 'all you can eat promotion' they promoted earlier, and they only had two serves on staff that night. 4) We were late to Mr. Wanderlust, but were luck to get two seats at the bar after another couple left. We order two cocktails and a coffee... and were charged just over $140. Then, we were asked to move because they wanted to take our seats. We asked about the bill to the bartendar, and she expressed that since she didn't take our original order, she couldn't help us. She simply just had us stand there. We were not going to pay since it seemed way off... until finally we spoke to a guy walking by. We showed him our ticket/receipt and said out loud, "this isn't right". He came back quickly with a revised bill of almost $120. This was still far too high, but no one else seemed interested in helping us find resolve, so we ate it since we didn't want to be late for part 3 of the night. 5) Hoping to salvage the night with drinks and dancing... we tried to find the entrance to Sinners and Santos for their advertised Latin night. We had made reservations here too, and had full confirmation of the reservation... BUT, after finally being directed to the entrance (outside on the patio), they were closed. No sign of why and no one who worked at the other locations had a reason, but they were just simply closed. 6) So, after paying $35 for parking, about $140 in cocktails and food while waiting for our initial reservation at Golden Hour and Que Barbaro, $150+ for dinner at Lucky Mizu, and $120 at Mr. Wanderlust... approximately $500 total... we didn't even get to dance. Maybe this place had a bad night, but based on what the workers said, and how they treated us... it sure seems like the norm. Don't get me wrong, the place is cool... some really great experiential elements and nice photo ops... but I would have had a much better time somewhere else. Super disappointed in this place.

We came in around 6:30. They had just opened but the atmosphere was ready! Dark and moody with candles on the table, it was the perfect spot to grab a drink and catch up. Jeremy was our bartender and he was fantastic. Super chill and friendly and made us some amazing drinks based on a few preferences. Our "bartenders choice" drinks were amazing, so much so that our "drink to end the night" turned into two drinks and some appetizers. We ordered taquitos and mozzarella sticks. Overall all three of us ladies loved this place! We definitely plan to be back! Let Jeremy make you a drink - you won't regret it. He makes them custom for you and he definitely knows what he is doing. *they do ask for a password which you can request on their website... but I would do that 24-48 hours before you plan to visit.
