    drinks were really good and affordable, loved the decor and vibe, music was a mix. a little hard finding parking and love the photo booth!

    Cha Cha treasures: photobooth strip, matchbooks!, stickers, and a 1984 Michael Jackson trading cards pack from the vending machine.

    The best kind of dive bar - fun, junky aesthetic; cheap drinks; chill vibe. They have a photo booth AND a vending machine of eclectic "treasures". One of my favourite spots in Silver Lake.

    My view from the bar.

    I was suggested by the bartender at the nearby Thirsty Crow' to try put this place...the Cha Cha Lounge. Stays open until 2:ooam , even on a Sunday night. I love the interior lighting: x Nas light strings and plenty of red lights all strung up in a tiki bar style ambiance. I'm sippin' on a Navy Grog ( told the bartender the recipe) and quietly people watching: it's packed but seating was easy to attain. Old naugehyde booth seating, tables and a cool looking rectangular tiki bar. Come here folks. And just across the street is the Red Lion Tavern and a few yards north is the Silverlake Wine bar

    Great spot for cheap drinks ! Came here with a couple friends to celebrate our long distance friend finally being back and had a great time. Low lighting and a dj plus drinks that weren't expensive made for a great night. The bartender worked fast and we came on a sunday so it wasn't too busy either! We came around 9 on a sunday and the bar wasn't full till around midnight. Would definitely recommend :)

    "IF YOU ARE RACIST ,SEXIST,HOMOPHOBIC,TRANSPHOBIC OR JUST AN ASSHOLE DON'T COME IN" if you're looking for a tiki bar or anyone who makes tiki drinks or fancy cocktails , this is not your bar! Don't ever come with your high bougie expectation and personality because this is not your bar. Cha Cha lounge is your classic legendary bar with legendary guests. The bartenders can smell your bullsh*t from a mile away so don't bring it here. With the legendary only original colored Photo Booth left in America (I think) it's a must when passing by.

    It's Cha Cha...legendary bar that still has its functioning Photo Booth! Had one since 2010 and love the collection. It's always dark, it's always tiki, it's always divey. Men's bathroom is a site to see. They serve water out of an Igloo container and it's self serve. The Foosball table is always a great time and the bartender will give you quarters to play for cash. Drinks are great and reasonably priced. This should never been your first stop during the night, rather your last.

    We felt like celebrating a few things. My mothers Birthday, twins Birthday and Valentine's Day so we knew a place in Glendale a neighborhood dive bar Cha Cha Lounge, The atmosphere is great the drinks are even better the crowd is friendly and fun , The bartenders are very knowledgeable on all the best drinks if you want a good time I recommend this place good for any day of the week

To end the night before we headed off to dinner, we stopped by The Semi- Tropic bar for drinks. The parking situation was difficult to say the least-- there is no street parking or parking lot. And the neighborhood behind the bar is filled with park cars. We were lucky and parked at a parking lot that was for the surrounding business (so sorry to the pizza/ weed shop!). We arrived at around 6:30 PM so it wasn't too busy. We were greeted by one of the servers and she gave us options to either sit at a lounge table area or hightop tables. We opted for the hightop tables because we knew we weren't staying there for long. The server was friendly and patient as we looked over the menu for drinks. I've been sober for about a year so I only had water, my boyfriend ordered a Naoshima Dream, his cousin ordered a Mango Cart, and his cousin's girlfriend ordered a Lemon Drop Martini. The bar was super cute and hipster! I honestly would have loved going to this bar back when I used to drink. It's dimly lit, had a vintage 20's speakeasy feel to it and the music was a vibe. I'd recommend coming here for a little date with your partner or even coming with a group of friends. My boyfriend had been here once before and he said the food was really good and affordable. He had a panini and said for bar food it was a 10/10. We waited maybe like 10 minutes for our drinks to come, we were having such a fun time chatting and enjoying the environment that it didn't feel long at all. My boyfriend, his cousin, and his cousin's girlfriend really enjoyed their drinks. They said the drinks tasted "light" insinuating that there was barely any alcohol in it. Don't let the taste fool you, after finishing half of their drink there were full of smiles, giggles, and had a great buzz going. The prices here were all pretty fair for the cost and quality of the drinks. Would defintely recommend coming here for drinks and dinner for a date night or a night out with friends!

Indoor and outdoor seating available, Bar Henry is a cool little for in Echo Park serving up tasty cocktails in a friendly, local feeling environment. We tried a few cocktails when we visited. The Butthole Surfer is their version of a pina colada which, while decent, could have been a little more flavor forward. Feel it is premade in batches as I didn't see it made fresh but was brought getting the back, but still decent. The Lucid Dream had the smokiness from the mezcal posted with the mandarin, but then the rosemary comes in and helps add a little balance to the drink. The Swimsuit Edition was more flavor forward, but the passion fruit didn't necessarily pop in the drink for us. And finally was the Snitches Get Stitches, another mezcal drink with mango and horchats. Interesting was my first thought, then you start getting the nuances of the different interested and it's a respectable cocktail. Overall, good drinks, friendly people, chill atmosphere, and a nice addition to the bar scene in Echo Park

It was so milky, creamy, delicious... just like me. After a couple more variety of beers, obviously it was time to feast on a classic, timeless all American gem- the hotdog. We ever so gently asked our beer connoisseur, "Excuse me, what comes in the hotdog?" Our mouths already salivating at the prospect of this delicacy. To which the fine gentleman responded "Mustard, mayo and Ketchup." Please remember this important detail, it's crucial to the story. We were feeling very bold as one does when you are glutes deep in a Hazy IPA and a second Stout so We said "Perfect. All three will do." Our eyes were beaming, our spirits were lifting, our bellies were grumbling with anticipation. After a brief three minutes, there she was. The gleaming glizzy. Doused in an intricate, interwoven condiment presentation. So immaculate, so beautiful. With such a moment it was only appropriate that we share the gleaming glizzy Lady and the Tramp style. Yes, sexy indeed. As we hold up both ends of the glizzy to our mouths, locking eyes we simultaneously take one big bite. And then... The most overpowering sensation dominates our mouths, our noses, our eyes even. In a state of shock, teetering on a state of confusion and then rage we jolted. WHAT IS IN THIS HOTDOG??? Because that was not just any plain yellow American mustard. It was a pulsating fire rampaging through our nasal cavities. It was like the world had stood still and we lost sense of gravity. This is not to be confused with a disbelief of happiness. It was a disbelief of deceit. Once we grabbed a hold of ourselves and a grip of reality we waved down the fine gentleman and said, "Is this horseradish???" To which he retorted, "No, everyone asks that. It's Spicy Dijon" Bewildered we looked at each other and knew we were thinking the same thing. A piece of us died that night. In that bar. Because that was Spicy Dijon mustard coursing through our blood, our veins, forever seared in our memories. We were lied to. Made to believe that this gleaming glizzy was normal. Beautiful and unsuspecting. Not even the coldest winter day on the snowy slopes compares to the journey we took with this hotdog. Anyway service 10/10, vibes and drinks spectacular.

The vibe is midcentury, neglected, gloomy, and masculine. (I'd bet that, fifty years ago, 7&7s were served here by the puncheon.) It's not the best stocked bar, so one shouldn't try to get to fancy with the mixology. The wine list is rather threadbare considering it's a French restaurant, and they were even tapped out of Kronenbourg 1664 -- the only French beer on offer -- on my visit. Cocktails are not very Gallic, either, mostly featuring vodka, tequila, and mezcal to appeal to local tastes. (While the French aren't the biggest cocktail drinkers, I'd expect to see the French 75, Kir/Kir Royale, Boulevardier, and Sidecar at the very least.) Honestly, 321 Lounge could be attached to any kind of nondescript restaurant, or no restaurant at all. There's nothing particularly French about it. But that also doesn't really really matter. Taix and 321 Lounge has a special authenticity that has nothing to do with France. As far as food goes, the specials for the brief happy hour aren't very exciting (Tempura shrimp? Again, not very French...), and it's best to stick to the restaurant's main menu. Service was direct and no-nonsense, somewhat earthy, but friendly. I was taken care of well. When I entered, there was only one other table occupied; when I left, the place was on its way to being packed. I must say, I really enjoyed the dark, throwback feel of the 321 Lounge, with its wood paneling and brick walls, faux barrels and faux barrel vaults. Places like this are rapidly vanishing in Los Angeles, so I hope 321 Lounge and Taix will stick around for a good long time to come.
