    Gin and Campari with orange peel and other fun stuff Some type of rum cocktail
    Ms. A.

    A friend and I stopped in at Good Housekeeping on a Wednesday night. We were going to a late night show at the Lodge Room, and chose the place because it was only a 3 minute walk from the venue. I was in my happy place because of the bartender (shout out to West!), the music, the drinks, and the food. The dj was playing soul/funk/70s R&B. Our cocktails were smooth and the food hit the spot!

    Good Housekeeping is a hidden gem located behind Café Birdie. Enter off the alley on Ave 57 and you'll find this cozy little bar. I enjoy coming here for their creative craft cocktails. Their menu changes seasonally so there is always something new and tasty to try. It's also a great spot for date night, chilling with friends, or just to hang out and meet someone new. They also have a dog friendly patio, which I love. Last month they hosted a Block Party featuring local businesses in the neighborhood. It was an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon and support the community. I hope they do it again.

    Endless Summer - with passionfruit, lemon, Demerara, vodka and club soda
    Yoandra V.

    Special thanks to the you-tuber Christiiine for recommending this spot. I was expecting this spot to be packed with people given some nights they host DJ sets. But to our surprise, it was quiet on a Sunday night. You go in behind cafe birdie and follow the arrow with the word "BAR." The venue is small, yet cozy with leather seats, and the dim lighting and candles gave it an intimate feel. The music wasn't so loud so you can chat over drinks with a friend. The vibe here was wonderful, we didn't feel unsafe or worried. We felt welcome. So you go in, scan the QR code and let the lovely bartender know what you'll have. Drinks: - Endless Summer: this came with vodka, Demerara, passion fruit, lemon and club soda. This was a citrus, sour, fruity drink that i enjoyed and i want another one. - Mover and Shaker: (not pictured) This was so ducking strong. For those who love bourbon and whiskey, you will surely love this one. this has cio ciario, redemption rye whiskey, turbinado sugar and orange. My friend got this one, she said it was a lot stronger than she expected it to be, and honestly you could not taste the orange. I took not even half a sip and it was a ball of fire. So umm we're not getting this one. We chatted for a bit before leaving with a promise to return another day to catch up about life and hang out. This is a nice Low-key spot.

    Lovely brick bar.

    Not gonna lie. Good Housekeeping is pure, dimly lit magic. I love how you enter through the alley. Cocktails are extremely inventive. I had a limeless daiquiri made with the acid mix, Supasawa. It was delish. Staff was busy talking to eachother and don't really engage which is not great and I'm not exactly sure but most cocktails looked like 2 oz cocktails (of booze). And they are not cheap. I believe cocktails are around $16. So a mixed bag. It's totally enchanting and drinks are stellar... albeit small and pricey. Staff can be aloof. Give it a shot for the atmosphere, if nothing else.

    First time at this bar in Highland was more than expected. I love this bar and el arroyo was even better. The food was great, and the vibes were amazing. I will definitely stop by again.

    Raspberry coffee beer and Pilsner

    Great place to go day or night drinking! It's a nice local, homey bar that is situated near a sushi restaurant and coffee shop and accessible via alley wc kinda gives it a speakeasy type vibe. It has a patio area if you want to be able to converse without speaking loudly and the indoor area has ample seating and transforms into a moody aesthetic once nighttime hits. I've done both and it's a chill vibe either way. I've had the old fashion and raspberry coffee beer (wc was an unexpected treat) and my partner enjoyed her Pilsner. Service was attentive and laid back at the same time. People I've encountered here are kind as well. Check it out!

    Stumbled upon this place after the bowling alley was closed for a private event. The security guard recommended it, and my partner and I were so happy to end the night here. It's a casual lounge with delicious craft cocktails. Both of our drinks were amazing and we can't wait to come back!

    The best bar I've been to outside of Ireland! The drinks were the best--creative, unique, and top shelf; the bartender, Spencer, was AMAZING! I've never seen a bartender like him, and did i mention his drinks were fabulous? I also liked the crowd...i met quite a few folks. Lastly, it had a cool vibe that was still comfy. Great bar.

Drinks: Really, really good. My absolute favorite was the boat drink with foam on top, but we split several others and I liked everything we tried. Vibe: Unmatched. There are several drinks on the menu with a theatrical presentation that gets the whole bar involved. The space is small, so you'll inevitably have your conversation interrupted by an alluring siren's call or some ceremonial rowers. This is a crucial part of the tiki experience for me. The bartenders all have their different spin and clearly are in it for the love of the game. We had a lot of fun chatting with the staff. Food: I ate 2 orders of soup dumplings and probably could have bodied down 5 more. They were ridiculously good, but prohibitively expensive.

    Some of my LA friends have frequented tiki bars for years, and after visiting Lucky Tiki recently,…read moreI finally get it. Tiki cocktails have expanded beyond rum into smokier tequila and mezcal drinks, which are more my speed. Lucky Tiki takes planning. You'll probably need a reservation weeks ahead and yes, they'll politely kick you out after 2 hours. These drinks are delicious and designed to ruin your decision-making skills. Worth it. Uber home, obviously. This spot is "hidden" in a bowling alley, and inside you'll find retro lighting and decor and tiki cocktails. One drink came with bubbles, another arrived flaming, and one to a soundtrack of thunder and lightning. It's part cocktail bar, part performance, and the staff is committed to the bit. They have two LA locations, which helps if one is booked.

As a I grew up in Highland Park I took my wife to visit The Arroyo Club bar to celebrate her recent promotion after the bar was recommended to us by a close friend. We were looking forward to a fun evening and decided to participate in the trivia game being hosted that night. After receiving an answer sheet from the host, Matt, my wife and I began playing. The trivia topic was based on an older television show that we were unfamiliar with, and we initially used our phones to look up answers. A male individual approached us and informed us that using our phones was considered cheating. We accepted that explanation, stopped using our phones, and continued playing. Later in the evening, I observed bartender Justin speaking with the same individual and appearing to provide him with answers. When I questioned how that was different from what we had been told not to do, Justin stated that it was not cheating because they were part of a group. I responded that it was only a game and not a serious issue, especially considering my wife and I had only accumulated a few points. At that point, the interaction became uncomfortable. Justin informed the host that my wife and I should be disqualified for cheating, despite the fact that we had stopped using our phones when instructed. The employee who had originally confronted us also became increasingly confrontational, which my wife and I found intimidating. I later asked another bartender, Zach, what the concern was, and he explained that the winning prize was $50. While I understand the importance of maintaining fair rules, the way the situation was handled felt unnecessarily hostile and embarrassing. What made the experience even more disappointing was that we appeared to be the only minority guests present at the time, and we observed other patrons using their phones without being confronted. This left us feeling singled out and unwelcome. My wife attempted to discuss how the situation made us feel with a female bartender who had blue hair. Unfortunately, her reaction appeared dismissive, and our concerns did not seem to be taken seriously. As we prepared to leave, the employee who had initially confronted us remained nearby staring in our direction, which further contributed to our discomfort. For reference, we were seated at the right corner of the bar if you were facing the bar from the front. I am not seeking compensation. Rather, I hope management will review the events of that evening, including any available security footage and discussions with staff members present. No guest should leave feeling targeted, embarrassed, or unwelcome while simply trying to enjoy a night out celebrating a special occasion.

They can make just about any cocktail, but they have some great highballs and signature drinks ranging from $14-$20. I tried the Goldliner, Japanese Old Fashioned and Nitro Espresso Martini and they were all delicious and well balanced. The bartenders are all really cool and service was pretty quick. The disco ball in the lounge area, the wall of vinyl and old photos of iconic artists give retro vibes. My friend DJ'd the night I stopped in and played nothing but 45s of classics for 3 hours. Gold Line would be my watering hole if I lived in the area!

We were initially planning to eat at Greyhound but someone in our party was like "Checker Hall is always great!" so we decided to see if a table was available.

We had a perfect view of the activity below us on Fig, a nice vantage on the scene within the restaurant, and a nice view of the sunset. The space inside Checker Hall is warm and rich in texture. The unique position of the bar adds many points of visual interest. We started off with drinks, all of which were excellent. I had a classic martini and another guest had a really complex cocktail with a big chunk of dried pineapple. They made us a special request iced tea, and the coffee service was great as well. All the food was delicious. We started off with the feta, which was amazing. This dish could use one more piece of the delicious pita. Two of us chose the salmon skewer and another went with the basmati rice. Each of us was very satisfied with the flavors and portions. Throughout the evening we had excellent service from Gage. Thanks for adding to our pleasant experience. We did not check out desserts as we'd already committed to Foster's on the way home. We will try them next time. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience.

Shortly after ordering multiple drinks and several plates of food, another staff member came to our table and began yelling at us, threatening to kick us out for being "rude" to staff, even though we had done nothing but order our food and drinks. What made it even more uncomfortable was watching other guests openly smoking weed while staff said nothing, yet our group felt watched, accused, and singled out the entire time. As the only Latino group sitting outside, the experience left us feeling unwelcome, uncomfortable, and discriminated against. As a fellow restaurant owner, I understand hospitality and house policies, which is why this treatment was especially disappointing. What should have been a fun birthday celebration turned into a terrible experience, and we ended up leaving early.

Room at the bar, tables for 2, 4, or 6 - lucky us again - to sit along the large open wall-window that let in the evening breeze. If you want a tiki style cozier vibe, head upstairs to the lift area. Parking is a commodity, and there's no lot here. Street parking in front or on residential side streets. All around great experience! If I were a local, this would definitely be on high rotation!
