One of my favorite dive bars in town. Inexpensive drinks ($11 for my Ford's Gin 'n tonic) and excellent service from the bartenders. On a slow night Justin can easily keep up with drink orders while beating you at darts. Dodgers and Lakers games usually on the TVs. Last call at 1:30 am most nights. There's one scruffy pool table in the bar, one dart board, and the men's room has more graffiti than most men's rooms. It gets packed Thursdays through Saturdays. Plenty of friendly people in the bar. Very diverse crowd. One night as I was walking up, a woman stumbled out and threw up right at the entrance. Everyone just stepped over it to get in. The only thing this place is missing is good bar food, but you're welcome to bring your own. Monty's is next door where you can get a good plant-based burger, or you can go across the street to Carl's Jr and get a Star Burger for half the price. Loads of excellent Korean food nearby. It would be nice if someone opened a taco stand in the parking lot at the corner. No parking, of course, and this part of K-Town can be tough to find a spot. Best to Uber/Lyft anyway. Have a good time here! Cheers!

A classic dive gem tucked away in Koreatown. Bartenders look out for female patrons and make sure you feel safe while making excellent, affordable drinks. Anthony and Damon are wonderful--highly recommend!

Excellent dive bar. Friendly bartenders. Bartender Jamie(?) (I think) made an excellent old fashioned for me. He was also knowledgeable about the other spirits offerings. The place is cozy. The clientele was friendly. Perfect place for a quick drink.

This was a GREAT place for some post concert drinks! Classic, cool, dive vibes but with great service and an impressive whiskey selection. Thank you to the bartender, Spencer! We had a great time!

Love this bar. Very classic, homey vibe and all of the bartenders here are fast, and extremely friendly. Even the other customers are fun and well mannered. It can get packed but never seen anyone get too rowdy or cause any kind of commotion. One of my favorite bars in LA for sure.

Fun place, drinks were strong. I played pool and had a good time.
I was actually next door having some fake chicken. Will stop by next time. For a second I thought I got blasted on a Sunday and couldn't remember. Will be back.

Frank & Hank is a venerable dive bar next to Monty's Good Burger near the Wilshire district. The friendly bar-t told me that F&H may date back to the 1930's so Frank and Hank are long gone. Also mentioned their children are now getting on in years. F&H has gone through a series of owners including an F&H waitress. I was parked in front on the way back from Kinn, a great Modern Korean Cuisine restaurant about a block away. So I wanted a creamy dessert drink like Bailey's Irish Cream. Like a true dive bar, they only had this lousy "creamy" coffee liqueur that must have been sitting around since the bar opened 90 years ago. I guess sticking with hard liquors and beers is the way to go. By 9pm the music starts cranking up to create a "party hearty" mood so high tailed it out of there. Not too many classic dive bars that still look like the original left in L.A. Hollywood Frolic Room, which is much classier, comes to mind. 3+ stars.

If you like a nice, cheap and friendly neighborhood dive bar, this is a great place. A little cramped on weekends but a nice place to chill with friends.
