I love the plates and gold utensils here. It's gorgeous. I started off with a hibiscus agua Fresca I just wish I could have more it's so good. They also give a gorgeous pitcher of water with basil and a purple flower. Presentation is chefs kiss! The food came so quick! I ordered a bunch of tacos. The corn tortilla they use is top tier quality! It's thick and juicy. It has a nice bite to it. I also got a breakfast burrito and it's HUGE. I added pastrami to mine and it was perfection. There's even a little truffle flavor in the burrito so good. Speaking of truffle! I also got the truffle guacamole and chips. My favorite taco hands down has to be the pastrami and egg taco it's just so unique and the pastrami is packed with flavor. And the shrimp tacos have 3 PLUMP and juicy shrimpies it's sooo yummy. I also brought my pup also and had 0 issues! The outdoor patio is soooo nice and honestly I came on a hot summer day and it was nice esp with the umbrellas. I always look forward to coming to tu Madre. The food is outstanding and hits the spot.

I only came for a drink and dessert this time but I need to return! The matcha martini was…read moreabsolutely perfect (sweet and bitter) and the banana pudding dessert was great if you love bananas (chunks of brûlée bananas and some not, cream, pudding, and wafers). Staff was helpful and friendly. They have a decent amount of seating at the bar and regular tables (maybe 20?). Not sure about parking... we got lucky and there was street parking right in front. However, if that was all taken, I don't know where we would've gone.

They do take reservations and accept walk ins as well. Wifey and I made reservations to stop by for the DineLA lunch menu with our family. Inside, they have a very modern and bright interior with lots of seating. The DineLA menu lets you choose an appetizer and a ramen of your choice for $25. I ended up getting the Chashu Rice Ball and the Tokyo 1992 Ramen and everything was delicious!

We're very picky on how we like calamari and we all enjoyed it. The branzino was served with potatoes and blanched spinach. The fish was cooked perfectly where it was soft on the inside but nice and crispy on the outside. The potatoes were also seasoned and cooked well however the spinach was slightly salty to our liking. Now the pizza... it was not a margherita pizza, it's just cheese pizza, like you can find anywhere else. The three of us were pretty disappointed so I would recommend getting a different pizza or trying their pasta dishes. Most folks around us seemed to be having pasta dishes. The tiramisu was delicious and a nice way to end dinner. We were very full but was able to make room for it. The service was well, very friendly. My dad asked for a white wine that went with the main course and the server gave a good recommendation. I judge an Italian restaurant by their margherita and it was by far the most disappointing so I'm not sure I'll be back, but if pizza is not your thing, don't let that stop you from giving this place a chance!

They have a selection of vinyls that you may request to play. Me scanning through all of the vinyls to see what tune I wanted to hear...Unfortunately, not many updated music selections. However, I find it a perk that they give you a chance to pick and play whatever you're in the mood for. The bartenders were very mellow which I supposed it was matched to the ambience of the bar. Ordered the espresso martini and vibed out. I do believe they should carry more music selections with some updates to more legendary artists considering it is a vinyl bar.

This is a dive bar with a solid drinks selection. My wife ordered a Coke since she wasn't in the mood for anything alcoholic. There were some interesting characters day drinking, and it was great people-watching with lots of regulars. The interactions were priceless. The bartender asked a regular if he'd left his helmet, and when he showed it to him, the regular quipped, "My head is bigger." The helmet looked like a kid's size, and the guy did have a small head. It was a funny interaction in a room full of characters, like something out of "A Confederacy of Dunces." The bouncer checking IDs outside, sporting a Santa hat, noticed my wife's upcoming birthday and wished her a happy birthday. It was a really nice touch! We will definitely be back for drinks and to people-watch the interesting characters!

Given it's Hollywood, I was expecting things to be pricy but we were amazed that cocktails (albeit well cocktails) were only $9 with some more complex drinks a bit higher - my friend said 8 drinks plus tax came out to be $92 which is not bad at all compared to many cocktail spots, though prices match the quality as you're not here for craft cocktails, but rather decent drinks to get you buzzed for the night. There's no menu. I settled with a dirty Shirley temple and my friend got me a Cinnamon Toast Crunch shot. I also tried the green apple martini too. Drinks were good but not excellent, but I can't complain about it much given the price!

They don't do food BUT the couple who now own Her Little Bar also own a bunch of the restaurants nearby (Her Thai, Met Him At A Bar, and the recently opened The Night We Met). There are other great options too and whatever you go for, you can eat it in the bar. There's a good selection of drinks and the cocktails are solid. We already have a solid pub/microbrewery but this is a great bar with a different vibe. A bar has been in this location for years but we really love this new incarnation. The corridor between Wilshire Blvd and W 9th is becoming a great pocket for food and drink with good people looking for BS free good times and the Her Little Bar crowd, staff and management are a great example that. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.
