    Ambiance is dark, playful, and fun. Service was fast and very good. Bartenders were so sweet and made the best drinks. I got a spicy margarita and they did not disappoint. A fun place to go on the weekend or even the weekday! If you love Spanish music this is a must & hidden gem in DTLA.

    I'm not going to lie, I wasn't sure about La Cita vibe but we wanted a real drink so we gave it a shot, but Quinn literally made our entire downtown LA experience. We were ready to leave the entire city but then Quinn had us completely change our itinerary and we stayed at La Cita the entire night and had the best night of our lives. His welcoming energy and warm presence legit made the LA trip unforgettable. We will never forget it! This place gets infinite stars just because Quinn! Also Antonio was amazing as well! Thank you so much!

    Love a spot like this! Older than you and full of guys you want to talk to. Sat in the back and the bartender was fabulous, he lived all our spots and endorsed them. We were headed to the prince and HMS Bounty, he was jealous, it makes you know the day will be fabulous. Great looks to this place, see pics.

    Ask the Community - La Cita

    Is this place 18+ or 21+?

    21+ only

    What is the music like on a Thursday night ? Does it get busy too?

    Please refer to our Instagram profile stories and posts for entertainment programing. Thanks!

    Is it 18+?

    Never.

    What's the dress code? Casual? Or club attire?

    Casual. It also depends upon when you are going. During the day, it could be laborers or street food vendors in cowboy hats. The evenings are younger and more trendy, but still casual. They have a dance floor, but this is not a nightclub.

    When is Banda night?

    Unfortunately, we do not have a traditional Banda night at the moment, however we have a monthly Norteña night featuring live performances. This usually occurs on the third Friday of the month. We also have a traditional Ranchero band every Sunday… Read more

    Do they offer table service?

    We do not.

    Do you offer coat check?

    Sorry, we do not.

    I am trying to find a bar/club to celebrate my bday next month, how is this place ? Me and my friends love to dance!

    PRETTY FUN LOCATION. IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT ATMOSPHERE YOU WANT. THIS IS VERY DIVE VIBE AND DANCE FRIENDLY. BUT LOOK UP OR CALL THEM AS THEY HAVE DIFFERENT BANDS AND DJS DAILY TO MAKE SURE IT IS THE VIBE YOU SEEK

    Is there an email or phone number we can call to ask about lost items?

    Hi Ismael. Our management team is active with Instagram. Please reach out to them on that platform. @lacitabar Thanks!

    Do they accept Apple Pay?

    Yes.

    Yes

    Do they check for vaccinations?

    yes they do

    Do you guys accept 18+?

    No. Our license to do business in Los Angeles requires all guests be twenty-one years of age or older to be allowed entry to our venue.

    Do they still have Bingo night? If so, when is it and how much is a card?

    We have bingo on every Saturday at 5pm with the amazing Chris Wonder! Cards are free!!

    Yes

    Do you have a guest list to avoid the long lines?

    No guest list, just favoritism. 💰🤑

    I went to the most recent event at the Globe Theater in downtown Los Angeles. It was an amazing…read morevenue with a great second floor mezzanine. The live music was incredible, the guy playing the sax really knows how to jam. The dancers and musicians were performing together, and did several shows! There's this magical connection between a musician and a dancer that you see and feel as they improvise and work the crowd, the stage, and the whole venue. In between performances there was social dancing, with a lot of great dancers dressed to the nines. The birthday cake performance is something you got to see and experience, totally off the charts, like something you'd see in a movie! The final performance is with a giant martini glass. The girl dances around/in the glass filled with water and then pours champagne all over herself. One of the most wild over the top things I've ever seen! The energy and vibes were off the hook! I highly recommend this for couples that want a special date night, large groups that want a unique experience/entertainment, and people who want to celebrate their birthday in style.

There were definitely not 10 acts and YES then entire chaotic mess of a show was only 15-20 minutes long!!! IF you have footage of a 90 minutes show then I'm sure you can post that as well LIE#3 The only thing Sergio didn't lie about is he didn't mention anything about the disgusting food and drinks I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT APPRECIATE ALL THESE LIES AND I HOPE NO ONE EVER WASTES THEIR MONEY ON THIS SHOW AGAIN!!!

It features multiple rooms with different vibes, playing hip-hop, R&B, and top 40 music. The night I went was more reggaeton and dembow vibes. They offer VIP bottle service, handcrafted cocktails, and a fairly strict dress code. The venue is also available for private events, corporate functions, and filming. It reminded me a lot of the beloved Federal Bar club that was in downtown Long Beach with vault doors downstairs and a speakeasy. I would definitely return to the Reserve for another good night out!

That's what my party had to pay atleast. The lounge area is pretty nice, two bar locations with one being at the front entrance and one towards the back (easier to go through the bathroom hallway to get there). I enjoyed the music, some weren't my favorite but a good time nonetheless. Got an AMF drink for $22. Owner made sure that one of our friends chain wasn't snatched and that it dropped when we lost the pendant and even offered his personal cell to contact him. Camera's everywhere and cleaning crew full sweep. Honestly, really down to earth based off our one and only interaction that night.
