The building has been there since 1905 and the bar has the oldest liquor license in the county that allows them to sell liquor by the bottle to go like a store and sell liquor to consume on the premise. Not sure how they made it through prohibition perhaps a speakeasy? Originally called the Golden Sun Saloon. Should have kept that name lol Cheap drinks can be had even not on happy hour. Doorman and bartender were friendly. Arcade games and cool decor.

In fact, security or bar staff chose to close the door instead of calling the cops or even attempt to intervene. I understand what happens on "the streets" is technically off-site, but these people were exiting this trash bar and yet the staff took no responsibility to the mess that was taking place in front of their door. I did not know any of the people fighting, but it was very evident that no one cared to protect the woman. I couldn't believe that the same men who check your ID and make sure you aren't bringing in "a water bottle" can stand there and watch a fight to that level happen. F this place.

I would've never even knew this place existed because outside it looks small and unassuming, but inside it's super cool! This place is really spacious inside and goes far back. It looks like it was untouched from when it was built (looks 100 years old) and when we went it definitely had a gothic saloon vibe. I would DEFINITELY go back for drinks or for any of the club nights. We found a booth and were chilling there for a bit before we decided to leave and get food.

Me and the owner, who also does the sound, had almost the exact same interests and favorite bands. It was like meeting a new best friend. In addition, you can usually find street parking, and all the meters are broken so you don't even have to pay. LOL! There is a lot there that is cheap, too if you need to pay. There is a downstairs with a bar and upstairs is the other bar with the stage. The owner is a drummer in a band, just like my son, and thanks to that they have an amazing house kit and the guy does excellent sound. It's a small, comfy space. Drinks were outstanding. The owner and bartender make some amazing cocktails. The crowd was great for a Metal Monday night. Can't wait to have my boy play here again! Definitely a place worth checking out in Downtown LA! And follow the booker on IG - Blasphemy Made LA, as they do a bunch of shows here. It's a good chance if you like metal or punk or hardcore that you will catch a great up and coming band.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink.

They have a great stage for live entertainment, arcade games, a huge bar, plenty of seating, and lots of room to hang out without feeling crowded. The music and overall vibe were exactly what I was looking for--fun, energetic, and just a great place to spend the evening. Whether you're meeting up with friends, grabbing a drink, or just looking for a cool spot with great energy, this place delivers. I had an awesome time and will absolutely be back.

Ollie's bar is discriminatory, ZERO STARS I came to meet…read moresome friends upstairs at the bar here Sunday night (it's actually a fun spot) but unfortunately I'm in crutches at the moment so I needed to take the elevator. When we asked the bartender he said the owner would need to turn it on, bartender called the owner & he was extremely helpful but the owner on the other hand was extremely rude from the beginning. First off who tf wears sunglasses at night? He came off irritated immediately that he needed to get up and actually do his job & run the elevator for someone who is handicap. The first words out of his mouth was "who needs the elevator" as I'm standing there with crutches, common sense isn't his strong suit... maybe had he taken off the glasses he could've used context clues to determine that answer. I simply tried to ask, in that loud environment, if someone was able to ride the elevator with me to accompany me because again I'm in crutches & he refused because there's a weight limit of 600 pounds (spoiler 2 of us in an elevator was definitely not 600 lbs). He absolutely could've said he would be the one to take me up and down that's fine as long as someone was there but instead he refused to run the elevator & proceeded to kick us out after we had just ordered a drink downstairs (mind you we waited approx 15 mins for him). He had security come and escort us out. Even after hearing the situation both the security & the bartender were apologetic on the owners behalf because they even knew he was wrong , I quote " sorry guys, yea thats not right but that's just how he is". I'm sorry as the owner you couldn't be bothered to keep a running elevator on at all times for your handicapped patrons (which is required by law). The way in which the OWNER handled this whole situation was unprofessional & humiliating.
