Chill spot to grab a delicious drink or have a satisfying meal. I've had the BBQ chicken sandwich many times and it's always been on point. They have a rotating beer selection which I enjoy frequently.

This bar is awesome! They offer brunch specials on the weekend, as well as mimosas and delicious Bloody Mary’s. CK generally serves us and is super attentive, professional, and hardworking. This place has had staff turnover and sometimes they’re down to 2 people to make the food and serve the drinks; nonetheless, CK and the staff work hard to ensure everyone’s happy and their order is taken.

Always enjoy coming here and the two hour validation is a plus. With beer on tap being rotated periodically, the variation isn't stagnant. I've tried multiple items on the food menu and they're all fairly tasty. The fish n chips and burger are my go-to. Crowd is fairly chill and it doesn't get annoyingly busy. If you plan on bar hoping in DTLA this would be a good spot to start from as there's other good bars within walking distance.

It's not a bad Bar for drinks and some food but an owner stop hiring good employees . May be money issue. 12/07/22 There was a costumer threat from the employee for eating at the Bar. "Either you buy a drink or I will call security . I'm giving you a minute to decide"Manager understood the problem but tried to fight in the begging back. DCA will not be informed or Health department at this time but the owner must change these issues.Also Whole Foods advises that the costumers that bought food from them can eat at the bar.No signs about any rules are posted. No DCA rules in doing business in regards to their costumers complaints.

Service is generally friendly and warm. My drink was good, no complaints. Would definitely want to try the rest of the menu.

Reviewing drinks and facilities only. There is a bar, communal tables in the center, and counter-like seating along the windows where you can people watch.

Stopped by on my lunch and let me tell you, their fish and chips deal was delicious. $12 special for this big meal AND a beer! Score!!! Erick/C.K, thanks for the hospitality and great service! First time here but definitely not our last. Ps/ $1 oysters on Fridays. Can't beat that.

I visited this location because I had a friend who was working in property management at the building next door and though we could grab a quick bite close to where she worked. This Its my second time here. The first time I had picked out something from the Whole Foods selection to take to the restaurant to eat which is permitted.The second time, I had their Smoked Salmon Benedict Bowl, and it was delicious. its not on the menu on their website, but on location, it was available to order from the back side of their Happy Hour menu that they were passing out. Its made from smoked alderwood salmon lox with two poached effs, roasted tomatoes, red onion, fried capers and hollandaise sauce over crispy hash browns.Parking is available in the building which can be validated at Whole Foods. There is very few metered street parking available for up to 4 hours at a time.Its a very fun, chill, trendy and friendly environment with crowds of artistic, corporate and outgoing vibes. It is surrounded by tourists from nearby hotels and apartments, workers from local stores and artists that roam and capture the scenery. Its at a busy and bustling intersection, but inside, its relaxing for its high ceilings and ambient lights.Definitely another visit for me.

The customer service by the bar tender is amazing! The guy was chill and friendly. I ordered a Moscow Mule and truffle fries and both were on point! The Moscow Mule is from a can which I thought was questionable but it was so good! Paired with the hot truffle fries that had a crisp outer layer and airy fluffy potato inside covered in parm and truffle made a perfect combo. I highly recommend this place! 10/10 a must try!

I think the new menu is really good. The disappointing thing is the corporate decision to circumventing the new vaccine mandate by only offering patio service. That's going to deny the workers income, especially tips from guests at the bar, because the patio is so much smaller than the interior. What poor corporate decision-making. Guess I'll be hanging out for safe happy hours this fall and winter elsewhere.

Reviewing drinks and facilities only. There is a bar, communal tables in the center, and counter-like seating along the windows where you can people watch. They have food available for ordering and eating in.They sell mixed cocktails in a can. It was $5 for the margarita, can easily get two pours from the can. They have alcohol behind the bar but I'm not sure if the bottles are for display only or if they pour shots, it wasn't clear to me.Hate to say that the restrooms were not very clean. The ones in WF are waaaay cleaner and you don't need a code to get into the john.

I used to come here 3-5 times a week when I lived in Downtown L.A. for 7 yrs. But the pandemic send me to greener pastures less crowded with a garden. The food is very good & insanely affordable alot of happy hour deals under 15$, even under 10$. Personally not into alcohol, but it looks like that seems to be affordable, to. Imagine my shock when today I went with my son took a few pictures of the menu that seemed updated. & went to sit outside with the 8$ creme Brule 6$ slice of cake 3$ lemonade 2$ water I just purchased at Whole Foods. While I was savoring my desert a person who works inside approached me telling me we can't sit on the patio. I looked confused "I just spend 20$ at whole foods. ' Oh yeeh, you can sit on the patio downstairs '. The patio was EMPTY - 50 sits EMPTY except for another patron consuming a glass of alcohol that he obviously purchased there. It shouldn't be a big deal. Except that 1. She wanted me to move to an area that is not blocked of by a fence where any passerby can cough on my food. 2. She interrupted me half way through my desert.-ruining my experience. 3. It NEVER acured to her to offer proper custumer service & inquire / offer for me to purchase food there. Which I actually was considering until I was made to feal like I don't belong there. I was so shocked that I left in disgust. I was about to review the food here & post the specials. But no one should be treated this way. The VIBE is GONE.

Not busy at all which is perfect. I just come for the imposible burger that's all.
