We had reservations for a Sunday night and were seated at the best table in the house. This speakeasy cocktail lounge is small & dimly lit, which creates a cozy & intimate atmosphere. The Polynesian inspired décor is on point. Bamboo beaded curtains, thatched lamps, tropical prints, & an eight-foot tiki statue add to the charm. Our server Sean was fantastic with a capital F! He entertained us the entire evening. Of course, Tiki cocktails served in kitschy glassware are the main attraction but they also offer Island inspired dishes if you are hungry. (You can also order food from Tail O' The Pup downstairs.) The building was once the recording studio for The Doors, so we had to order The Ghost of Jim Morrison. Sean delivered the flaming drink while singing a Doors tune. Elvis in Hawaii arrived on a platter with an Elvis head on it. Lucky Tiki Old Fashioned was presented in a treasure chest with smoke coming out of it. The Flying Fish came in a cool Blowfish vessel. The Lucky Mai Tai was one of the best, the Classic Daiquiri was nicely balanced, and the Rum Barrel packed a punch. All the drinks were tasty and strong so we ordered a few nibbles: Coconut Shrimp, Lucky Orange Chicken, & Wok-Fried Chow Mein. The food was yummy and hit the spot. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the presentation of the drinks and ambience. Thank you Sean for making our visit to Lucky Tiki a 5-star experience. *Metered street parking.

Once you do, there's a little puzzle to solve to actually get inside. Not going to spoil it as it is pretty easy to figure out. Once inside, the vibe changes to full tiki and the experience begins. The drinks are strong, but also flavorful as they tend to come with tropical flavors to pair with the different rums and other spirits. We tried a plethora of cocktails offer the night amongst six of us. I'd say a good half of them tasted watered down, as if the ice was melting too fast. And they are usually over filled with ice, for presentation. You can also order food at the table, which comes from the hot dog restaurant below the tiki bar, so that's a nice touch to add a little sustenance to your drinking. Drinks come out as ordered, but the bar is usually full so they can take a while to get to the table. Just an FYI. Lucky Tiki is a fun bar with creative cocktails and little shows with some of the drinks, but too many tasted watered down (again, a lot of ice in the drinks). But the vibe is fun and it's a nice spot to come to with a group of friends.

Since I never watch that kind of 'stuff', that connection meant nothing to me. However, now that it's been sold to the purveyors of a successful Venice bar lounge, Roosterfish moved up quickly on our gaydar for a visit during PRIDE weekend. It was upbeat and loud but surprisingly not off-putting. That has a lot to do with the century-old Mediterranean olive trees in the massive open-air courtyard in the middle. Even wrapped in colorful fairy lights, the trees breathe life into the space even with a huge disco ball hanging from the canopy. The dance floor was fairly crowded and pulsating like crazy, but the surrounding tables weren't as coveted. There were plenty of bartenders during PRIDE, so there was no wait for drink orders. The Tequila Sunrises were on the high side at $20 given the plastic cups (Photo), but they gave us the requisite kick. There are rumors that Jamie and I may have been on the dance floor when the DJ was playing Erasure. I will neither confirm nor deny it. Let's say it was a good thing that the new Madonna wasn't out yet.

We ordered the buffalo wings with garlic fries, the classic cheeseburger with Cajun fries, and a Cobb salad with chicken. Both orders of fries were tasty, but sadly, they were extremely greasy. The Cobb salad was drowning in dressing, had no avocado despite it being listed on the menu, and came with only a small piece of chicken. Our expectations were high, but unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. While we appreciated the great atmosphere and the staff's service, the quality of the food left much to be desired. Thank you for the experience, but based on our visit, we may not be returning. We hope you take this feedback constructively and use it as an opportunity to improve the quality and presentation of your food.

I'm a bartender myself so I know an AMF should be strong and balanced, and this one just wasn't it. I took a few sips and left it almost full. Maybe the bartender is new and still learning, no judgment there. For over $20 I left a little unsatisfied though. I used to come here solo for a strong pregame drink, so I hope it gets back to that standard.

This was the experience I had hoped for on my trip. The views are absolutely incredible! There are tables along the glass wall that overlooks the city, grab one of these if you can. I had a spot at the bar, which still has great views, until a table opened up. I had a Paloma, which was the perfect balance of citrus and sweet. I had dinner earlier, so I ordered a fruit plate for a sweet treat. It was really good, tajin and chamoy were on the side to dip in. I also ordered an El Camino Old Fashioned. This was a fantastic cocktail! This hit every mark I wanted in an Old Fashioned. Mezcal, Tequila, Bourbon, there is no better drink, in my opinion. I quite enjoyed the quiet evening overlooking the city and having an upscale LA moment.

The rooftop atmosphere is the highlight, it has that perfect indoor/outdoor vibe, It's definitely a hotspot, especially in the evenings when hotel guests and locals come in to grab drinks, relax, and enjoy the lounge atmosphere. The entire hotel has a great social feel, from the lively lobby area with the open bar and pool table downstairs to the rooftop where everyone gathers. The views were amazing too! The food was really good, the drinks were great, and the service was outstanding. We ordered the hamachi, carne asada tacos, fries, and a barbacoa quesadilla. Everything was delish! Our server was genuinely so friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. There is only valet available and it gets pretty packed at night. This is definitely a hot spot for a meet up with friends. Highly recommend for the overall vibes.

I had a glass of the rosé, which was nice and cool and light. A little pricey but it is the 1Hotel. The vibe is relaxed and chill - most of the seating is on couches or stuffed chairs and is comfortable. A lot of white with wood accents. The restaurant/bar is right up against the hotel lobby check-in desk, but the space is big and you don't have to sit right next to it if you don't want to. The hotel has valet parking and the restaurant does validate a couple of dollars off but it's still pricey. There's a parking lot across the street that is cheap and probably where you should park or drive around in the neighborhood and see what you can find.

We stopped by on a Monday around 8pm and it was surprisingly quiet at first, but before long people started walking in for Trivia Night and the atmosphere became much livelier. OR Bar has a really stylish, welcoming vibe. The black and gold decor, artwork, and chandeliers give it an upscale feel. I also like that it's more than just a nighttime spot. During the day, people come in to work, enjoy coffee, and just hang out, which gives it a nice neighborhood vibe. I ordered an Angry Orchard Cider and my friend ordered one of their Espress-OR Martinis. It looked great but it was strong! If you are an espresso martini fan who likes this style of drink, you will probably enjoy it. There are metered spaces behind the bar and there is also residential street parking nearby if you pay attention to the posted signs. Overall, this was a fun find and I can definitely see why it has become a neighborhood favorite. I would come back to try more of the cocktails and experience another Trivia Night.

The Abbey has been a popular place for my family and I to attend for decades. We stopped in today,…read morea Sunday, for lunch. We easily found a place to sit on the shaded outdoor dining area, all the time people were going inside the adjacent dining and dancing area for one of the Abbey's famous drag shows. I ordered the guacamole bacon cheeseburger with fries and my guest had the Philly Cheesesteak. My burger was cooked perfectly and looked great. The fries were fair, nothing to write home about. My guest loved his Philly Cheesesteak and it brought memories of the last time he ordered one more than a decade earlier. It's only fair that I mention the conduct of one of thr employees who appears to be a host. There was an ethnic couple (probably middle eastern) siting at the table next to us, dining and enjoying their meal, when this employee approached them and singled them out because of their ethnicity. He fawned all over them, loudly, apparently trying to be welcoming, all the while addressing them as "you people" and "we are open to people like you dropping in for a gold time." While he clearly wanted to be nice, he came off as condescending and racists and was very annoying to my guest and me and people at another table who muttered "what an idiot." On the positive sign the middle eastern couple didn't appear to be annoyed but, still, that's not the way first time guests should be addressed. We dropped in on the drag show after lunch but all seats were taken so we decided not to stand in the corner and watch. Getting smart, especially a good seat means arriving about an hour before the show. Today's show began at 1:30 pm. There are nearby parking lots, pricy and neighborhood parking if one can tolerate a moderate walk. The Abbey is an ice place to go, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Dining is pretty good and their menu is not big. But they still have a nice variety of dishes.

Unauthorized Tip Added After I Closed My Tab…read more I came here for my friend's birthday and ordered a $15 drink. Unfortunately, the bartender was rude and dismissive, so I chose not to leave a tip. I closed my tab immediately, signed the receipt, left the tip line blank, and kept both copies of the receipt. My Cash App card was originally charged $15 that night, but the following day the transaction changed to $16. I did not authorize an additional $1 tip or charge. It's only a dollar, but that isn't the point. Customers should be able to trust that the amount they authorize on a receipt is the amount they are actually charged. Between the bartender's attitude and the unexplained additional charge, this was a very disappointing experience. I've kept my receipts and will be disputing the difference if it isn't corrected.
