The fried pickles w/ ranch are SO GOOD. the vibes are great. And it's a chicago bar where you can get a chicago style dog, malört, etc. There are several dishes that can be modified to be vegetarian and there are bbq jackfruit tacos on the menu as a vegan option. Not the most vegan friendly place as there is quite a bit of taxidermy as decor, just putting that out there incase that's not your jam. Oh, one more positive comment - the views from the patio and outdoor area is an amazing view of the DTLA skyline. I'll be returning again for sure.

When my friend lived in downtown LA, I used to come here all the time, even on holidays like St…read more Patrick's Day. After he left, I've gone by a few times, but it usually takes a while for me to register that this place is in downtown. While I was driving around the other day thinking of where to eat, I pulled up Yelp while I was in downtown. This place appeared on the second page and I got excited. I haven't been here in so long, but once I got there, I was so excited their kitchen was still open, late on a Saturday night. I ordered their breakfast burger and their buffalo mushrooms. I love their buffalo mushrooms because they are deep fried and then coated in buffalo sauce. Their mushrooms are so juicy too. There is so much flavor in these mushrooms. The burger is amazing too and actually, all their burgers are. The captain kangaroo breakfast burger one comes with a hash brown, egg, cheddar, bacon and gravy. It's definitely a treat, but all their burgers are. You get a great view when you are outside. Most nights, they have live music if you are into rock and metal, and the ambiance here is just really chill. Make sure to check this place out!

And over time, this place has always had a fun vibe and reasonably priced drinks. The folks here seem to always be friendly as well. Even after all these years, this place could still get pretty crowded (the space isn't huge so that helps). They also have the Dodgers games on when available so that's great if you want to grab a drink in the area and don't want to miss the game. On my most recent trip, I came here after having dinner with a couple of friends in the area for a after dinner drink/ night cap. Ordered the martini and it was good! Just a great place in the area to meet up with friends to grab a cocktail if you wanna low-key place that has reasonable prices for good cocktails.

After work, we were pretty stressed and just wanted to grab a drink. The front door host, Nate, was…read moreincredibly nice and honestly made our day. He was friendly, welcoming, and gave us a great first impression. However, our experience afterward was disappointing. We waited nearly 20 minutes to be seated and another 20-30 minutes before anyone took our order. I understand that restaurants get busy, and we were trying to be patient because we could see the staff was overwhelmed. When we finally got our beer, I told our server, Noah, that I could pour it myself if that would help. Instead of explaining the situation politely, he responded with attitude and said, "You know I can't serve you guys, right?" I apologized, but then he told us, "Nah, you guys have to leave." This was frustrating after waiting so long just to place an order. We were never rude or disrespectful to the staff, so the interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessary. I completely understand being busy, but customer service should still be respectful. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression despite the great welcome we received from Nate.

In fact, security or bar staff chose to close the door instead of calling the cops or even attempt to intervene. I understand what happens on "the streets" is technically off-site, but these people were exiting this trash bar and yet the staff took no responsibility to the mess that was taking place in front of their door. I did not know any of the people fighting, but it was very evident that no one cared to protect the woman. I couldn't believe that the same men who check your ID and make sure you aren't bringing in "a water bottle" can stand there and watch a fight to that level happen. F this place.

We've been coming here since its Plan Check days and stayed loyal after it became Liberties. It's…read moreconsistently been a great spot, strong drinks, a solid beer and liquor selection, and food that always delivers (the burgers, fries, and pizza are all standouts). The bartenders are friendly, attentive, and genuinely on top of things, which is a big reason we've kept coming back. Over time, we've even met some of the owners, and the place has always felt welcoming and well-run, even through ownership changes. That's why this last visit stood out and not in a good way. The bar was packed for the basketball games, and the staff was clearly hustling. Honestly, they could've used more support behind the bar for a crowd like that. Instead, one of the partners seemed to take on the role of... social host. He made sure people knew who he was, but didn't actually step in to help where it mattered. We've seen other partners jump behind the bar or run food when things get busy, so the contrast here was hard to miss. At times, it felt less like leadership and more like a running announcement tour. Meanwhile, the team that was actually working kept pushing through a packed house. The vibe took another hit with the TVs. With so many screens already locked on basketball, it didn't seem like a big ask to change just one on baseball. One of the bartenders even put it on, but a few minutes later, after a guest played into Mr. Big Shot's ego, he went and changed it right back. Just unnecessary, and honestly felt a little performative. We still like this place and really appreciate the staff who show up and do the work. But that interaction definitely left a different impression than what we've come to expect here.
