As an anthropologist who spent years in Latin America, I understand the importance of the symbolism of jaguars in those cultures. Living there, one may encounter one when venturing outside big cities. And, I love their beauty and a kind of animal majesty they convey, so naming a womby bar after them and creating a dark haven to escape the chaos is a brilliant idea, in my view. When I want to bring visitors to a place that embodies Southern California, let's say in a "pub crawl" event, Jaguar will be at the top of my itinerary. Check out my pictures and their menu. Tacolina at night would be magical, the Jaguar Room would certainly be mystical.

The cocktails are clean. The layout flows. And the energy? Just right. APT503 isn't just a place--it's an experience you step into.

Girls are obviously going to drink a little too much. I was a little buzzed but in a "ok lets leave, i dont want to get too crazy" but i was a little tipsy enough to not go the right direction lol and the way the security yelled was not cool. Tell me where the exit is instead of yelling at me for being lost. It was packed so i didnt really know which direction was the right direction. Anywho other than that i always have a nice time

This place is a vibe. I know that stating that is such a cliche. Like going to a market can be a…read morevibe if they have the right mangoes and tajin. But this place is a vibe because it commits to its character. It knows who it is portraying to be, and never surrenders its identity based on opinion. Meaning that this place is pretty and pink and a tropical print mixture, and its owns its look. And if you ain't trying to get the vibe that keep on moving. This place is also nestled in the heart of the Arts district next to other bars that know their personality and go spheres-out to claim. So its aesthetic meets the orbiting bars not in style but commitment to its brand,. I went on a night where they were specifically showing a Love Island Episode. Why? Morbid curiosity? Guilty pleasure? A reason to go out. Yes and then some. The place was immediately recognizable by its hot pink door. The door promised a portal and it delivered. As soon as you enter the bar it hits with theme, with neon, with crowd dressed in posh attire. Like I said it was a vibe in pink. When I went to the bathroom the line was only female. The leader of the line was explaining that they could use the male bathroom since no males were there and cue my entrance. A few women were already inside and I waited until the line leader said it was ok to go in. I implict take away is that this night was women heavy. Like the shows fan base was mostly young chicks. Who knew? I have been to a few soccer games at bars in the recent past and of course there is a lot of expressions of enthusiasm and commentaries as the game progresses. The bar was set up in the same way. The tvs were there, showing the game, and I wondered if they were going to collectibely gasp and root as the episode continued I saw that they did. When an Islander said something impactful the crowd reacted. It was like seeing a game and enjoying it but here it was relationship dynamcis/drama unfold. And people were here for it. In fact, as I was waiting to order my drink, I heard customers behind me analyze the drama as sports fan analyze a game. And they were ciomparing different seasons. Apparently season six made the guy behind him feel uncomfortable because it was too freak. Either that season or this season had toe sucking. So there was history in this game that led to fan reactions and follow up insight. They were invovled fans. And this was the congregation for involved fans. I went to live the dream of a fan who would die for this and could not come. I eventually gave up on a drink the line was too long.

Food is ok, we got the famous fries. It's basically fries with cheese and bacon. Nothing special. I…read moredon't know why it's "famous". The pink drink is good. I enjoyed it a lot. The service is okay. They check your ID before you come in. I sat in a reserved table and they had to move me bc well, it was reserved. Lol no hard feelings. That's ok! Ambiance of the place is cute, fun, flirty and overall a great time! I think they started putting a loud song and I thought they're going to have karaoke. But they didn't. Anyway, check the place out. It's cute and cozy.

It felt completely dead, so we ended up leaving pretty quickly. It is not really the bar's fault and I can imagine it might pick up later in the night.

They also have seats around the venue if you need a little dancing break. The photo booth is a nice touch! I'm taking stars off because of the bar. First there was only one bartender serving guests and the line got long. Surely not enough support for an evening. Second, drinks are overpriced and not good. $18 for basic drinks like a tequila soda and margarita. I would pay that for a nicely crafted cocktail but that's not what you're going to get here. Spicy marg and mezcal cocktail were not enjoyable at all in my opinion. They have a decent selection of canned drinks. Didn't try them but probably better off just getting one of those. I might come back depending on the party. Big might.
