Pulled up for happy hour after work yesterday. Found this spot on Yelp. Found a parking spot around…read morethe corner in the residential neighborhood. The restaurant is beautiful and reminds me of being in Mexico. A Spanish theme and style. A lot of seating and it's also spacious with an outdoor patio that is open to the customers and also widely used for many event. Everything was clean from what I noticed. The music volume was tolerable as well as the selection of choice. Felt like I was on vacation for a min. A great spot to have drinks. A great to spot to meet up or even come for a date. The Melrose Mule was cool. Very refreshing like the bartender mentioned. It was different than the usual mules I get. And the Improved Whiskey was like having an Old Fashion and Whiskey Sour together. It did not disappoint. I also had an attentive bartender who had a good attitude. Didn't take long for him to make my drinks nor put in an order for a smash burger. The smash burger was acceptable. It was good, however, I was expecting something a little bit bigger in size. I like the presentation with it being wrapped in foil. It was cooked perfectly, it was hot and flavorful. No complaints other than the size. I wouldn't mind pulling back up for another happy hour when I'm back in the area. They have some more drinks I would love to try.

I've always had an amazing time here but last night our waiter was so pretentious and rude…read more He had a terrible attitude all night and you can tell he was not in a good mood. Though it's okay to have off days, it is not okay to be annoyed at customers. I promise you we were not difficult at all and placed easy orders. It was only two of us. A bit disappointed in last nights experience as this was my go to place around home

The bar staff know what they are doing and they are welcoming, chatty and chill. It feels like they actually want you there! My wife and I already love to swing by for a couple of post dinner drinks but we'll be back for some game day fun too - they have a bunch of screens. They don't do food BUT the couple who now own Her Little Bar also own a bunch of the restaurants nearby (Her Thai, Met Him At A Bar, and the recently opened The Night We Met). There are other great options too and whatever you go for, you can eat it in the bar. There's a good selection of drinks and the cocktails are solid. We already have a solid pub/microbrewery but this is a great bar with a different vibe. A bar has been in this location for years but we really love this new incarnation. The corridor between Wilshire Blvd and W 9th is becoming a great pocket for food and drink with good people looking for BS free good times and the Her Little Bar crowd, staff and management are a great example that. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.

They had a good selection of beers and my friends got their cocktails done perfectly. There was maybe one to two other people in this bar when we walked in. We had a booth all to ourselves. A good night at a solid bar in the neighborhood. I was a local, I'd be here more often.

It's nice being surrounded by like minded people, as so many go there to work or study. We like to take a break and enjoy lunch while we're there and the food does not disappoint. It's absolutely delicious and so well prepared. We tried the bone marrow burger and chicken skewers yesterday. 10/10 for both! The sauces are incredible even the waffle fries were fantastic. The service is great and our server was awesome. She knew when we needed something and would check in but not pushy or annoying. Definitely recommend grab a bite to eat here or just hanging out with friends.

We ordered a few drinks and all of them were spectacular. Our favorite was the Elvis, which came out on a crazy platform with an Elvis head on it. The fun part about this place is that they light things on fire when they serve it to you. Surprisingly, the Chinese food sampler was also really good and we loved that we could also order chili fries from Tail O Pup to our table. Really fun place to come for some birthday drinks or a date. My tip is to come early, like at 5-6pm when they first open before it gets too loud and busy. I'd also highly recommend making a reservation on Resy.

Unfortunately this review is based on not having had their drinks because we were turned away at…read morethe door. Hours said they closed at midnight, but upon arrival at 11pm, the host very rudely told us "we're closed. Good night" I understand closing early, but a simple "I'm so sorry we're closed for the evening, please come back another time" was all that needed to be said. But he made us and other guests feel like we were trespassing. Will maybe try again in the future and update the review, but this is solely based on our experience trying to grab a drink!

i almost overlooked this place at first because the ambiance doesn't scream "trendy italian spot,"…read morebut we ended up enjoying ourselves so much that i barely even remembered to take quick photos of the food before digging in, which says a lot because i usually photograph everything first. i ordered the rigatoni vodka with shrimp. i'm a huge pasta person, and this was cooked exactly how i like it. the sauce was creamy without feeling heavy, the shrimp tasted fresh, and the pasta texture was perfect. my friend got the bolognese and cleaned his plate, so that says enough. they also gave us complimentary calamari and prosecco, which was such a sweet touch and made the experience feel more welcoming. i also want to mention that the restaurant was very clean, and i liked the cute little details on the tables. it made the place feel cozy during dinner service, even when it got busy. my only criticism is that the music was loud enough that our table, along with the people next to us, were basically raising our voices to have conversations. not the end of the world, but definitely noticeable. overall though, i'd come back without hesitation. i can already see myself coming here alone one day, ordering another pasta and a drink, and just vibing for an hour!

It's dark but has warm lighting and really cool decor such as upside down stools and fireplaces on the ceiling. My bartenders Matt & Kelsey were super friendly & made some fire drinks. The menus are aesthetic to look at because drinks are categorized by type of liquor, each drink described in detail and each description is accompanied by a picture of what the drink is supposed to look like. However, there is no food menu just alcoholic drinks. I found parking across the street where the CVS & WholeFoods are located. I didn't have any issues, but I only parked there for about 2 hours. Right before I left, the bartenders helped me discover a secret entrance to the bar next door. When you walk in you'll notice a bookshelf, if you slide that bookshelf to the right, you'll open the entrance to the bar next door. Pretty cool! Will definitely come back again.

One of the dopest bars I've seen thus far. Gives you that airport feel. From being in one of the airline's lounges to having a seat while sipping on your flight. The bartender was real cool. A group of 4 others inside and he was attentive to us all. He actually looked bored like he was hoping to get some action lol. I enjoyed my Old Fashioned. It was just right. And so was the flight lol. I came during happy hour but I would love to come back during the evening or late hours to see what the experience is also like.

The place is so cool and oh, so fun! The Aviator is a magnificently decorated and themed airplane bar which has a first class and coach section seats that are exactly like being on a real airplane along with seat belts, trays and movable arm chairs and a Flight Attendant bell to request service! Food: we were treated to fries which were delicious! The Aviator offers a nice appetizer menu along with specialty drinks themed to the bar. We ordered Aperol Spritzes and they were delicious and refreshing! All reasonably priced too, yay! They have "cart" service too which added to the airplane themed experience! Service: Splendid! The Bartender and Flight Attendant were attentive and friendly! My friend and I had a blast of fun and plan to visit again soon! If you haven't been to The Aviator yet, plan to do so!
