    The Plunge was a pleasant discovery after I saw a play on the Broadwater main stage. It's a small space that gets cramped when people pack in after curtain call, but it's worth popping in for a cocktail to talk about the show with your companions - and possibly with the actors themselves. I loved the classy, Old Hollywood aesthetic, and I didn't mind the classic cocktail menu (no cutesy-named, experimental drinks). I had a Manhattan, breathtakingly strong, served in a coupe glass. The prices weren't outrageous and the bartenders were pleasant. I was absolutely delighted to discover shelves of stageplays that one can flip through whilst enjoying their drink. For this playwright and erstwhile theatre actor, the Plunge is a perfect spot.

    The experience at the Broadwater Theatre in Hollywood is vibrant and intimate, with high-quality performances in a cozy setting. The adjacent bar adds a lively touch, offering a perfect spot to unwind before or after the show, enhancing the overall evening with its relaxed atmosphere and easy access. I really enjoyed the Mexican mule this evening, the perfect drink before the show!

    Went over to this area to see a Fringe show and stopped in at this bar. What a cute little place. They had a large screen tv, small seating area and several seats at the bar. I took a seat at the bar and honed in on the bourbons/whiskeys and saw A Midwinters Night Dram. The bartender, Jacob said it was a special seasonal batch, which would explain the price tag. Ok, I had to try it, and it was awesome. Jacob was super friendly and helpful with the info. I sure wish I lived closer, this would be a fun hang out.

    The water here is available at the bar and it comes in a small glass. It is cool and without ice.

    Went to this bar to celebrate after an evening of theater. You don't notice these places until nighttime when it's lit up. We parked several blocks away and walked here. Very busy area. We walked in and it was quite crowded. I could not really see what the venue looked like due to the number of people but it seemed like it was popping! Maybe one day I will be able to make it back to this place.

This one star review is for "Nestor." The restaurant charges a 3% credit card processing fee, which was written on the receipt. Other reviews have mentioned this fee as well. Since there's a card processing fee, we paid with $50 cash for our $39 check. We asked for our change back. Nestor stated "we don't give change." We asked why couldn't we get our change back. If anything we would want our $50 back so that we can find some smaller bills within our party. Nestor immediately became defensive and started raising his voice. My. parents could hear him all the way across the restaurant. There was another table sitting near the cash register who witnessed the entire thing as well. Nestor said, "STOP TALKING. STOP TALKING. If you could just learn how to READ, it says that on the receipt." It does not say anywhere on the receipt regarding Tonchin not giving change back. We understand credit card processing fees, but if the customer pays in cash, and you don't have change, just say that you don't have change! Never been gaslit so hard by someone working in service before. If I want someone to keep the change, that should be my decision. This did NOT have to be a big deal. I have never had anyone scream in my face at a restaurant, telling me to learn how to read. Absolutely ridiculous. We ended up leaving $40 in cash and left the restaurant. We emailed info@tonchinla regarding what happened, received a call from Chris, and we explained what happened. All he said was that he wanted to "make it up to us." How, I don't know. If they can't properly educate their staff on their "cashless" policy as well as basic manners, we unfortunately won't be back. What a shame.

The Library Bar is small, intimate, and effortlessly cool, with dim lighting, vintage vibes, and an atmosphere that feels both upscale and unpretentious. Open Thursday through Sunday evenings, it's the kind of place you want to linger. There's no printed menu--instead, one of their highly skilled mixologists asks you a few thoughtful questions and creates a drink tailored exactly to your taste. It's a personalized, artful experience--and our cocktails were nothing short of spectacular. There's no food served, but that honestly wasn't an issue. This is the perfect spot for a date night or a quiet, elevated way to unwind after a day exploring Hollywood. Our only regret? We didn't make it back for a second visit. If you appreciate craftsmanship in a glass, cozy ambience, and great conversation, Library Bar delivers all of that and more. A true standout.

It's one…read moreof my go-to spots whenever we're bar hopping in the area--usually either the first stop or a late-night reset. The drinks are reasonably priced, especially for being right in the middle of Hollywood. Nothing fancy or overdone, just solid pours that get the job done without draining your wallet. The ambiance is where this place really stands out. It has that classic, slightly gritty old-Hollywood feel--dim lighting, neon glow, and a no-frills setup that makes it feel authentic rather than curated. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel like you've stepped into a different era. The crowd is usually chill and mixed--locals, regulars, and people who actually know what the place is instead of just stumbling in from the Walk of Fame. The bartenders are friendly and have that old-school energy, sometimes even sharing bits of history about the bar, which adds to its charm. One of the biggest advantages is the location. It's super convenient, right near the Red Line and easy to access, which makes it perfect for a night out without worrying too much about logistics. The only real downside is the size. It's very small, so it fills up fast, and it can get a bit tight depending on the night. But honestly, that's part of its character--it never tries to be something it's not. Overall, the Frolic Room is a true Hollywood classic: simple, iconic, and always worth stopping by.

The bartender was very personable and able to keep up with everyone and didn't leave anyone waiting to get a drink. The jukebox is loaded with most every song you could want and we played our favorites in preparation for the concert.
