Celebrated friends Dirty 30 here. We had a blast! From the music to the service this place was cool. Not that big of a place but our party of 20+ was having a great time and were well accommodated for. Place has high ceilings and ambiance was great. Definitely a party spot! I would recommend The Chanel to drink if you're getting into something spicy. Price points were on point too! Definitely will be coming back with friends again. Some people got sloppy and were falling over by 11 PM but overall great crowd and good vibes. The bathroom situation was a little annoying. But the staff kept rotating and keeping the place clean throughout the entire night. read more

I honestly have had mostly positive experiences at this laid back bar, but what happened when I went last night was unacceptable, and security completely disregarded my safety. A crazy woman tried to attack me when I was waiting for the bathroom and claimed I was yelling at her when all I did was ask if she was okay because she was taking a long time. As soon as she opened the door and I started going in she started yelling at me confrontationally. I tried to rush in the bathroom to get away from her and she was literally trying to hold the door open when I was trying to close it and I had to scream "help me" for her to stop. It was scary and unacceptable but when I told security, they told me that if they kicked her out they had to kick me out to. I literally just got threatened by someone who cornered me and pryed the bathroom door open on me, yet I'm getting treated like a problem? Not only was it disrespectful treatment of a frequent customer but it was a complete disregard to my safety and neither of the security guards who were working acted like they cared that I almost got beat up by this woman. I wasn't going to stand down after what had happened to me and continued to tell security that this woman should be kicked out because she is a literal danger to people, but after seeing me talk to the security guard for a while, her and her boyfriend eventually left because she was uncomfortable that I was speaking up for myself and telling them what she did. I litterally had this woman threatening me dismissed as a "squabble between customers" like I was somehow at fault when I was the victim. read more

I've been here both during the afternoon and at night. Always a great crowd and great music! The staff here is super friendly and I always come out feeling service at the bar is awesome. The set up of this place is great. I don't think a lot of people know of this place yet but I'm here to spread the word! I like the dj booth set up since you have a great view of the outside just past the Dj. Drinks are fairly priced but made quick. Parking can be found on the surrounding streets and at a lot not too far away. This is one of L.A's up and coming bars that you should definitely check out! Good tunes and good times! read more

Love going to Pattern Bar. The staff is so nice and I always have a great time when I go. Make sure you ask for Omar, he really hooks it up with the best recs. read more

We came here for some food and drinks at 6:15 on a Saturday night, with a reservation. The bartender was funny and friendly however as the night went on, our service starting lacking. It took several mins (over 10 mins) to get drinks we ordered, and one drink we had to ask twice about before we got it. We ordered some more food after our initial food order and when we asked about 30 mins later about our food, we were told they were out of that product. Two of our food items were not correct, but due to time and our experience thus far, we did not ask for it to be changed in fear that it would never make its way back to the table. The food was delicious, and the drinks were made well. Fortunately we were able to laugh at the mistakes and slow service. When we asked for our bill it was incorrect and we had to have it edited 4 times before it was correct (items we never received were on the bill, charged for drinks we never ordered, etc.) This was pretty annoying as we had somewhere to be at 8pm and didn't get there till 8:30 due to the bill issues. I was informed while making my reservation that the bartender/server was a "substitute" to the normal staff. Based off other great reviews, I am guessing this really impacted our service. read more

The drinks here are AMAZING!! So happy this place is open during COVID. Mark was so great, and made our time here so enjoyable! If your in DTLA, you need to come here! Great service and drinks/food! You won't be disappointed. read more

Be careful when coming to this establishment. They claim they have lost your debt/credit and will ask for your ID..... we had several transactions on our bank statements, so we know we gave them a card and they claim a card was NEVER given.... There's something very fishy about this establishment... they claim to have lost credit cards but something more fishy is involved...... we have filed a police report and will not be coming back ever again..... while reporting this online, other people have come forward and we don't want this happening to other people... so not give them your credit/debt cards.... They will claim they lost it..... there was not one sorry or apology given to us when they claim we never gave a card to them, when in fact we did.... Also, we were told a manager would contact us the next day, two days have passed, not one call or any form of contact has been made.... read more

I love this place! Omar is amazing and made our time here so much more enjoyable. Great energy, great vibes!!!!

From their website, I thought it would be a really cool themed bar. But it's a pretty normal bar. The only themed thing is their drinks are named after designers, but they're nothing special. Other than that, the only other memorable thing about their drinks is that they tasted way too sweet. read more

First time here & very impressed. The interior design is very modern and definitely dtla vibes. We came on a Thursday night/ no cover & happy hour was involved. They have an amazing cheese board. Their sangria is so good, although their drinks are a bit boogie but they were on point. Shoutout to LARRY, definitely cool dude, coming back for sure read more

Came here this past Saturday night while bar hopping with some friends because it was pretty much the only place in the area without a line and was practically empty inside. As we walked in we discovered why. The place had all of the speakers turned on max and blasting directly into your face while you try to order a drink at the bar. Suffice to say you can only point and do hand gestures and hope they get your drink right cause no one can hear anyone. They actually turned it up louder and it was at that point we had to go. It wasn't until we left and had crossed the street that the music was at an enjoyable volume. To their credit the music selection was great I just didn't feel my ears needed to bleed to enjoy it. read more

Bottom line: decent spot for cheap eats before a show at the Ace Hotel Theatre (about a 3 minute walk away). The food was sub-par but you get what you pay for. The ceviche was mostly chopped veggies; the flatbread was tasty but in a cheesy, greasy kind of way (which I could appreciate but others may feel duped). The menu items and descriptions are a bit ambitious and the décor suggests a finer dining experience; this is bar-food quality disguised as a bistro/gastro pub. But it's incredibly affordable. Service at the bar was friendly and fast. That being said the crowd quickly turns from small quiet groups eating dinner to a mini club scene with regulars who don't acknowledge personal space, and the music volume turns up with them (this happened 9pm). Would go again in the same situation (looking for a quick, cheap bite before a show) but wouldn't necessarily return for dinner. Maybe a night cap. read more

Went here for a quick drink to kill time, at 3pm on a Sunday. Didn't realize that at that time they have a DJ BLASTING music. Like so loud I couldn't even finish my glass of wine in peace on a Sunday afternoon. It was the most poor effort at a day party for an inside bar with about 10 people in there. Not planning to come back here read more

This bar has a friendly atmosphere and is super welcoming! Thanks to Mark, for the delicious drinks and helping us kick start our vacation!

We had a Meetup scheduled here and I can't say a single negative thing about them. The service was flawless, the food abundant and delicious, and the drinks flow was perfect. We were a small group and had the best time. As we were leaving a live band was setting up and we heard a few songs which were very entertaining. I'd def come back for happy hour next time I'm in DTLA. read more

Pattern Bar has been a great experience, all the staff has been very kind and inviting and I would highly recommend. Omar, one of the security's made feel very safe as well as the bartenders. Would definitely recommend! read more

Found this place while looking for a spot near the orpheum before a show. It was Cinco de mayo and the specials were in line and well priced. Ordered the guacamole, Mexican corn and quesadilla and all were excellent. Dance music played and good vibes all around! read more

A-Z this place has everything you could want in a bar. The small plates - amazing! (Highly suggest the pastrami sandwich) The drinks - phenomenal! (Tried an array of different drinks, but suggest getting whatever you order infused with their CBD) The ambiance - perfect! (During the day plenty of natural light, can easily chat with people while some tunes play in the background. Then at night the bar adjusts with a little more flare by brining in a DJ) Overall this place does a great job of getting you to stay from open to close. If in the area highly suggest the Pattern Bar read more

This place is the best house music spot around dtla!!!! Mikey and Will are thee best bartenders and hosts!!!! If you love house music come on by!! read more

Dynamite mezcal margaritas here! My wife and I walked up to the door of Pattern where Omar met us to check our IDs. he asked what kind of drinks we like and offered us a round of his mezcal margaritas and palomas. I admit I'm a total liquor snob and was delighted at the craft and balance of these drinks. Next time you drop by the fashion district and need a moment out of the sun and to enjoy one of the best LA margaritas I've ever had, say hi to Omar for me when you pop in to Pattern. read more

I can't stop thinking about the vegan nachos!! I am not vegan or vegetarian, and out of alllll the nachos of varying types I've had, this was a top 3 hands down. Drinks were decent, but nothing to write home about. The DJ was incredible, the music was a huge factor in the amazing vibe this space had. And lastly, shoutout to the security guard who hooked us up with seating inside when we initially had to grab an outside spot next to the curb. A+ experience! read more

Had such a amazing time!!! Great customer service and Music!! Bouncer at the Door OMAR is Awesome!! His energy and vibes are very welcoming. Our bartender was Will and He is very sweet and His drinks are very tasty and delicious and always with a smile. We ordered Extra crispy chicken wings and a chicken quesadilla Guacamole and chips are yummy!! read more

I'm a lucky woman. I have 2 great men in my life. One, keeps me warm at night and tells me I'm beautiful every morning. The other likes to laugh at me while calling me She-devil. I adore them both. A night out with my men led us to Pattern Bar. The space is well designed. An open airy room with comfortable booths and a respectable bar. Gazing onto the darkness of a downtown street from their large scale open window makes the bar feel light and inviting. Like my men, their cocktails are clever and witty. Named after designers each one has a unique and refreshing taste. The food? Unlike my men, the plates are small. Which I don't mind. I've always liked the idea of tapa like servings. Each person just having a wonderful tease of each dish, but.. again.. unlike my men, the food was bland and under seasoned. I like my cocktails and food how I like my men. Strong, flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Pattern Bar is like a good lookin man that just needs to grow a pair of balls. read more

Love the ambiance .. dark and candlelit.. tapas and wine with eclectic Spanish dishes .. small plates.. perfect spot for a first date or special events birthdays .. or hangout with friends .. read more

Hmm, back in 2018 my friend Lisa invited me to this bar. My drink made me feel fancy, I don't remember what I got but it definitely did it's job. I loved the open windows with the intimate space. The long table was cool too. Music is a good time here. You'll have fun! :) read more

This is what needed to open and happen in downtown LA. It's the new cheers, meaning this is a family/nieghborhoody type bar, none of that corporate bull. When you go, do try their "designer" cocktails. At $10 a pop, these hand-crafted cocktails are very well-made for the price. The Lauren and The Chanel are my favorite (think spicy margarita with muddled serrano chilies, but with cilantro to give it a new twist). Everything on their cocktail mixologist menu is just yummy. The owners are Venezulen, so be sure to note and try the fine aged Venezuelen rum that they uniquely carry. Eat: Everything. Their menu is small, but it's focused. Chef Alejandro takes you on a little culinary trip to taste a bit of Venezuela. You must try their Venezuelan sweet corn crepes with the queso de mano, dressed with sweet agave syrup. Their poulet and the braised pork marinated in guava and pineapple is absolute bliss. The prosciutto with the hard-boiled egg on pieces of toasted baguette slices is also a crowd hit. Really you can't go wrong with anything that is on the menu. It's only day 3 that it's been open, but I see very, very, very good things for this bar. It's not gonna be one of those "here today, gone tomorrow" type institutions, it's going to be the one where people 70 years from now, will be like this bar has been here since blah blah yah yah..It's one of those. Success hasn't looked so beautiful in a while and you will see the care and prestige in the decor alone, which by the way was built with the owners' own two hands. Don't forget to check out the hand painted walls in the communal dining area. Aesthetically alone, this is where you want to be seen, where you want to meet for a drink with a date, where to take out-of-towners to, or THEE place to meet with close friends. Crowd is a good-looking one too, perfect for endless people watching. Music is on point as well as one of the owners, Eduardo, is also an amazing and prolific dj/music producer in the Los Angeles area. SO you can count on NOT hearing a typical top 40's type set. (Oh thank GOD). Be prepared to be filled with good spirits, filled bellies, and beautiful sounds of good music each and every time you leave. I think Varnish, Villains, 7 Grand may have just found their new contender. Everything is on point and I think downtown has just found its nirvana. read more

I visited Pattern Bar over 3 weeks ago. I ordered some drinks from the bartender, and was told 5 minutes later that she lost my receipt, could I please fill out a new one. I said sure, as long as I'm not charged twice. Lo and behold, there is a double charge on my account. I called the bar and spoke to the manager Eduardo who agreed to refund me on my card for one of the rounds, as he had talked to the bartender and they realized their mistake. 3 weeks later, and after numerous messages left, I have still not received my refund. First, I don't see how it is so hard to call somebody back. We have already discussed the situation and you know who I am. I shouldn't have to leave you 4 messages. Second, I refuse to pay for your bartender's mistake. It's not my problem, and I don't just give away free money for stupidity. Period. It's a shame that I even had to write this review. All could have been avoided with a simple phone call, or even better, my REFUND. read more

BEST NEW BAR IN DOWNTOWN! Pattern has achieved something every new bar wishes for. They've managed to capture what's cool about downtown LA right now. This look, this DJ, this crowd, this location, this time. Well done! I went here Saturday night with some fellow downtown residents and we all loved it. I almost don't want to give too much away but I'll tell you what Pattern is not doing.... Pattern is NOT playing 80's mix on a Saturday night Pattern is NOT serving you bad drinks in plastic "glasses" Pattern is NOT a "club" but if you look around everyone IS dancing THANK YOU PATTERN BAR! read more

The large windows and spacious layout make this the perfect spot for a daytime cocktail. Located in the fashion district, all the well drinks on the menu are named after fashion designers, including Coco Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Valentino. The drinks are strong. I like the Chanel made with agave and chilantro. I also like its Venezuelan corncakes, organic salads, or panini ordered from the small plates menu. There are also vintage sewing machines scattered throughout, while worn sewing stools line the bar. It's a fun and neat bar to go to, especially if you're interested in fashion. read more

Mikey and will are the absolute best!!!!! They're so awesome and their vibes are immaculate. Would definitely recommend to get your drinks from them!!! read more

Since I am a high end designer, fashion whore, I had to pay a visit to the Pattern Bar and pay homage to a place that names their drinks after my designer heroes. Pattern Bar is aptly located in the Fashion District of Downtown LA. It's an industrial type building with an open airy feel and for it's location, the bar is appropriately sized. My friends ordered cocktails based on their love of a designer and a design house more so than the list of ingredients that comprised them. Now that's branding power! Especially, since some had drinks they disliked because of the intense combination of alcohol. The list of designers on the drink menu evolve with the trends. There used to be a Galliano on the menu, but it is there no longer, after his fallout with Dior. The forever classic Chanel, though, seems to be a staple. read more

The pattern bar delivered more than I expected. It was very dimly lit and the decor was quite adorable but upon first entering, I thought it would be one of those annoying prohibition style drink joints that seems to be all the rage these days. I was wrong. Actually the menu was nice although I did roll my eyes at the Champagne Coupe glassware. Why are those so damn trendy now? I digress.... Great location across from the Cal-Mart and a nice open wall gives this place people watching euro vibe. The bartender was very sweet and even came out to our table to see how everything tasted. I have NEVER in my many years encountered such service from a bartender. The place feels intimate and warm and I will definitly be back. read more

Just awesome. These guys get it and understand what makes a great bar scene. I've only been for drinks but I will be going back I am sure many times in the very near future. From the subway tiled understated decor to the service and mostly the crowd - there's a lot to love about this new bar. Welcome to the neighborhood fellas and thank you. read more

This is a direct constructive criticism review. I only have hope that the owner will read this and take it into consideration. There is so much potential in this place, its nuts. If this review was just based on atmosphere, it would get 4. Not 5 because we sat at a dirty table yesterday for lunch and the restrooms were not stocked. The lack of stars is service and food only. We (there was 2 of us) heard that they just started serving lunch. We heard this because we asked our server a question about the menu, and he had no idea about that menu item and had to grab a menu for himself to see. Please train your staff properly, and do not allow them on the floor to serve if they don't even know the menu themselves. They're the liaison between the guests and the kitchen, you'd hope they have the knowledge to make the guest feel they're taken care of. another tid-bit- when we initially came in, no one greeted us, a couple of staff (there was about 5 working) looked at us, DIDNT smile and did not say anything. we did the wander with wandering eyes for a bit, and then it seemed like when we were in the way of an employee they greeted us. When we sat, it took 15min for our drink to arrive. My glass had a chip and crack on the side. The thing is with a place that small (its not super small, but you do have a view of the entire room), you can see that someone is just tapping on the POS system, unaware of having a sense of urgency to make a drink. service of our lunch- besides him not knowing about the menu item, it was almost interrogative the way he'd ask how everything was. we'd give the "its good" answer, and his response was "just good?"......if there's more to say, i'd say it. he was pretty bad about reading his guests. food- bad. we had a sandwich and 2 salads. Capresse sandwich was just OK. the Deliciosa salad was just a bowl of mush. there was too much dressing on some parts, and others had nothing. very unappetizing. The Mixta says mixed greens, but came out romaine lettuce and didnt have egg. Just confusing and not tasty at all. The food for me was nothing great, and definitely not worth the $$. I understand I did not get the staple dishes, but even the underdog dishes should shine on their own??? I read so much press on this place. I went because of the decor and the press. It just did not come through. Please please re-evaluate your service and food. I am sure this place is doing well for a bar, but if you're going to serve lunch, do it right. read more

Omar at the door is the best and it's even better when you get inside! Drinks AND food are amazing!

Charcuterie board was extremely sub par. The wine and beer specials were good and they had a decent Pinot for the house wine during happy hour. Would not recommend for those looking for good bruschetta or calm atmosphere. Would recommend for those looking for a chill party vibe on weekdays. read more

I want to love this bar so much... and i believe it has potential. The atmosphere is great, good ambiance and music, and the bartenders and owners are very nice people. If your are looking for a night spot/lounge, this bar is off the hook. good looking people all around and great music make it enjoyable. However, I'm not that kind of guy anymore. I'm a neighborhood bar guy who likes my drinks on the rocks and stiff, I live down the street and I love what DT is becoming. I have visited Pattern bar four or five times now, and see a trend that needs to be addressed. Pattern Bar needs to see what other bars around the area are doing and take some notes. The drinks are incredibly weak and overpriced that makes this bar very difficult to frequent repeatedly if you are a local drinker. I'm not a fluffy cocktail drinker or a specialty drinker type, i haven't tried any so i can't comment on those, I like my vodka rocks stiff and strong, and would like it to last for more than three sips if I'm paying $10. They shouldn't be so obsessed in the amount of alcohol they pour in the glass, rather making customers satisfied. Management should know that using a measuring cup for a standard vodka on the rocks, just makes the place look amateurish. I just hope that the management reads this review constructively and makes the necessary changes to capture the loyalty of the people around the area. Make happy hour last to at least 7 (most people don't get off work till 6), offer well-drinks for a discounted affordable price. Having something to snack on (pretzels or trail mix) just make the drinker more thirsty and want to order more. Look at what some bars around the area are offering such as, The Falls or Silo. I'm all about returning to this bar and giving a stellar comment when i return. Knowing that Pattern bar is still new I still have faith it will make the necessary changes to become a great bar. read more

Nice open space on the corner of 9th and Main with a Columbian menu and cocktails inspired by fashion designers. Many of the building's inhabitants are young designers, and you'll see them enjoying an early cocktail here occasionally. A lot of DJs seem to pass through, too, and I think you have to check who's spinning on Instagram. I just pop in, if I'm walking by. The crowd rotates based on the DJ, so I would not go out of my way to come here, but it would be on my list if I were in the area. I've had a really good time here out of the blue. read more
