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.

The only slight downside is parking is tough since it's downtown LA so only street meters but you already knew that. The Juliet is an amazing cocktail with a sweeter emphasis on the classic martini.

Yay! Happy to be the first one to review this place. Tucked away in the back of Suehiro's new DTLA…read moreMain Street location (no longer in Little Tokyo), Bar Suehiro is an intimate, thoughtfully designed bar that delivers an exceptional drinking experience. Since opening last summer, this cozy spot has quickly made a name for itself with its carefully curated selection of Japanese whiskey and innovative cocktails. Head bartender Huy clearly puts a lot of care and thought into the menu, crafting drinks that are both unique and balanced. Expect bold yet harmonious flavors featuring Asian ingredients like yuzu, shiso, and pandan, which add depth and intrigue to each cocktail. The attention to detail extends beyond the drinks...small bar snacks, like crunchy Japanese crackers, are available to complement the experience. I highly recommend Bar Suehiro for a chill evening out with a small group of friends (ideally 2 to 4 people). Whether you're a whiskey aficionado or just love a well-made cocktail, it is well worth a visit.

Okay, so I'm biased cause my son's band, Institutionalized, just recently played here, but I got to…read morespend a lot of time hanging and talking with the booker, the owner, and his wife, and they are all super cool people. Me and the owner, who also does the sound, had almost the exact same interests and favorite bands. It was like meeting a new best friend. In addition, you can usually find street parking, and all the meters are broken so you don't even have to pay. LOL! There is a lot there that is cheap, too if you need to pay. There is a downstairs with a bar and upstairs is the other bar with the stage. The owner is a drummer in a band, just like my son, and thanks to that they have an amazing house kit and the guy does excellent sound. It's a small, comfy space. Drinks were outstanding. The owner and bartender make some amazing cocktails. The crowd was great for a Metal Monday night. Can't wait to have my boy play here again! Definitely a place worth checking out in Downtown LA! And follow the booker on IG - Blasphemy Made LA, as they do a bunch of shows here. It's a good chance if you like metal or punk or hardcore that you will catch a great up and coming band.

I sat at the bar and ordered an Old Fashioned which tasted watered down. After this, I knew all I needed to know and wasn't ordering another. I think my experience may have been different if the music wasn't being blasted to where you can't have a conversation and the lights they setup aren't blasting me in the face or blinding me from the reflection in the mirror. On another occasion, I may stop by to see if my experience changes as well.

Living in a city like Downtown LA comes with a lot of intensity and contradictions. The highs are…read morehigh and the lows are low. In the same city... no! In the same square mile there are things that bring you the ultimate levels of joy and gratification while also finding things that bring you sadness, or in some cases anger. Think about the traffic; oh that maddening traffic! However, life is better when spent focusing on the positive rather than the negative and one positive about Los Angeles is that there is no shortage of cool little nocks and crannies to fall into on any given night. One of these aforementioned nocks and/or crannies is Bar Jackalope, situated right in the heart of Downtown LA on 7th & Grand Ave. It offers one of my favorite features in life... a secret. It's tucked away behind an unassuming passage, posing as a hallway for the historic Seven Grand. When you walk in, you are greeted with Speakeasy decor and a wide variety of whiskey often difficult to find at other bars, even the ones with a large spirits selection. The cherry on top is that you can have a cigar with your whiskey, the way God intended, instead of just drinking like a savage. There are fewer joys in life than a good quality whiskey and a nice fat cigar that could give you a buzz even if you weren't drinking. But there is a caveat. Bar Jackalope is only open during prime time going-out days, think Thurs-Sun, so it is always busy and can be a hassle to deal with, even if you live in Downtown. In addition, although the place is filled with beautiful and fun people it is often too loud to have fun with someone you don't already know, unless body language is your modus operandi. What can I say, as I sit her indulging in the bliss of puffing some delicious smoke followed by drinking some delicious whiskey? In life sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad and remember that in the end we're all still pretty lucky. Stay focusing on the positive my friends....

If you have…read moretrouble finding the entrance, just ask anyone that works at Seven Grand and they'll point you in the right direction. Bar Jackalope offers a wide selection of whiskies for every price range, including an excellent selection of rare and premium whiskies if that's your thing, Also, although the Japanese whiskies seems to be the highlight here, they also do have non-Japanese whiskies as well. If you're sure what to get, just ask your server for recommendations. They have seating both inside and outside. You can make a reservation for no wait. Service is friendly and it's a cool little spot to grab a drink before or after dinner.

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.
