Stumbled across this place while waiting for an event to start. The place had a great vibe from the start, and Omar made the place so welcoming from the moment he greeted us. Killer drinks, live DJ set, and a ton of seating. Will definitely be back. read more

This place has a very cute vibe and is trendy, no doubt. It's nestled in downtown just perfectly with indoor/outdoor type windows. If windows are open, it can definitely get breezy so keep in mind clothing-wise. They have really good resident djs that perform and free to get in as well, which can be hard to find. People always seem happy to be here and show it when they're getting down on the dance floor! There are mirrors all over the walls so even if you're in an area that would normally feel like you're boxed in, the mirrors really open it up. It's a cool idea and an even cooler effect. The drinks are good but definitely over priced. My drink was delicious but didn't seem very strong (maybe that's just how good it was) but my real issue was that it was almost all ice. I'm pretty sure I got 5 sips out of it which bothered me for having spent 14$ read more

Came here (evening time) on a Saturday because my friend was DJing. It's a clean, cute, and small bar with a few tables. It wasn't packed when we were there, the drinks are really good, unfortunately we went somewhere after to eat to continue the night so I can't comment on the food, but based on the menu it sounded really good with a pretty good variety including Mexican street corn, ceviche, loaded nachos etc. read more

Omar thank you for a wonderful experience at Pattern Bar. Excellent service! I will be back for sure. Thank you! read more

Made a reservation...stood in line for 20 minutes....told by the one employee there that nobody told him about a reservation. Showed him the email confirmation, employee said he knew nothing about it...no apologies...no solutions offered...so we left. read more

Lets see. First of all, the place is filthy. The fixtures (fans, etc) are caked with dust, there are flies buzzing around the wide open containers of sliced citrus, and the bar is sticky. The drinks were fine. Nothing too great but not bad. The bartender, don't know his name because he isn't interested in being social, didn't ask if we needed anything nor did he ask if I would like another cocktail after finishing my first. He was interested in the young ladies who came into the bar though. The food-eh. Not worth coming back for. Please clean your bar. read more

We stumbled upon this place and fell in love with it, great food, music, and drinks! Go to the happy hour, it's awesome. An awesome intimate setting with great bartenders read more

DJ Bella Ferrada was amazing!!! She was spinning nothing but slaps and had us dancing all night. 5 stars for the DJ. 0 stars for the ahole bartender Larry. He had no customer service skills, was rude, and made watered down drinks! Get a new bartender PLS!!!! read more

We recently celebrated my boyfriends birthday at The Pattern bar. I can't express how smooth the whole event turned out! Thank you Misael for taking my reservation and communicating with me throughout the upcoming weeks. YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I needed to push my reservation time an hour later and he was very accommodating! When we arrived, the security greeted us with "we have your tables right this way" and he walked us all the way! Super nice! The DJ was sooooooo dope! It was techno night, all of our guests enjoyed the music and grooved through the night! Lastly but most importantly- the drinks and the food were delicious!!!!!! the bartender kept checking on us making sure everything was well! I am so happy we found The Pattern Bar, it gave us such great service and cozy feeling! Definitely coming back and recommending it to friends! THANK YOU all at Pattern Bar for making his birthday a good one! See you soon! read more

They have a link for reservations on the website. We even had email confirmation of our reservation. When we arrived they told us they do not take reservations. They only had 2 people working and we waited 15 minutes just to ask about our reservation. Very disappointing. We left and found another restaurant nearby. Horrible customer service. read more

My most recent night out at the Pattern Bar involved an Argentinian he, his friends -who he adoringly refers to as 'euro trash' and good times. Pattern is located in LA's fashion district (hence the name of the bar), on the corner of 9th and Main Street. Pattern Bar is dimly lit and a great place to do a bit of dancing (great DJ this past Saturday night), drinking and socializing. During past visits at Pattern, I've indulged in several of the amazing well-crafted cocktails, never tried the food. Nights are a bit hit or miss, in reference to the crowd -probably dependent on other events going on in DTLA, perhaps. Some nights can be packed full of people and other nights sparse. No cover at the door-it's worth a visit if you're bar hopping or looking for a place to meet up with friends in DTLA. Fashion, clothing design is certainly a creative beautiful way to express one's internal self, exteriorly... although, the most beautiful thing that one can wear ...is a genuine smile :) -wear yours at Pattern. read more

The service is very laid back here. Ok, it's kind of lackadaisical to be blunt. There's usually one server during lunch. I haven't seen it crowded during lunch time. I do like the tamales ($6 each). I haven't tried the cheese tamales, but the pork and chicken are good. The three tacos dish is also tasty. read more

UPDATE: Took my cousin who came from out of town here. This time our bartender was Larry who was awesome. All the drinks we had were amazing, I asked him to make me any drink he wanted and he did not disappoint. He went above and beyond to meet my expectations from last time. The food was just as exceptional as the drinks. This place is truly special and can't wait to take other people here. Amazing drinks and service. Our bartender Efra (sp) went above and beyond helping us make our selections and making our drinks. We tried about 5-6 different drink and ALL of them were delicious. Great place and amazing prices for LA. Will definitely be coming back when I'm in town again. read more

This was one of the last place I've been to, in the formerly known world. It was dimly lit, with soft music, a standard speakeasy bar and restaurant. Now come to think of it, we are all too spoiled with selections. There are 100 bars within a 3 mile radius, each with unique flavor and taste. I would take anyone today, because in reality, none of them is bad. I remember the days of wandering, on random streets, revolving doors, and neon lights. When is downtown going to fully reopen? Would the Pattern Bar survive the pandemic? I hope they do, because they've earned it. read more

The tacos were delicious and so was the red wine! The atmosphere was chill and it's in a walkable location from my apartment. Will definitely return. read more

Best espresso martini I ever had, thumbs up to Luis the bartender. It was great! Also the chips and salsa and guacamole was delicious!

Be prepared to drop some $$$ when coming to Pattern Bar. If you have the Hooch application, Pattern Bar participates in that program so you can get your daily drink for free. Also, Pattern Bar also touts that they are the only bar in DTLA that serves up CBD in your drink. What is CBD? It is an abbreviation for Cannabidiol which is some sort of compound that is found in cannabis. Apparently, it is supposed to have some medicinal benefits without getting you high. Anyhow, I tried their McQueen cocktail ($13) which consists of Hendrick's Gin, St. Germain, passionfruit, and lemon. It was really good that I had several by the end of the night. I liked this particular bar because the venue is pretty intimate yet lively and engaging with its music. read more

Nice atmosphere, service was good the only thing was it was Halloween weekend and you'd think they be stocked on everything. Nope they substitute my liquor for something else and boy let's just say if liquor could put hair on your chest it would have that night for me. read more

This was the perfect spot for a quiet clean happy hour. I needed a place to unwind, read and enjoy a peaceful bite in LA before a show at the Ace Hotel theater. Its location is prime and the ambience is very contemporary yet classic, a black and white decor. The service was really friendly and efficient, though it seemed the AC weren't working so it was a little warm. The happy hour options were great, but then so were the rest of the tapas. I ordered the hummus plate and the truffle mac and cheese. I licked both plates clean and had I not needed to leave, I probably would've ordered another bite. I definitely suggest this as a spot to go for a quick, decent bite. I think because of the setting, it's more of a casual bar rather than that LA lounge--which is why I loved it. Definitely planning on coming back. read more

The drinks here are made well. The Old Fashioned that I had got me there pretty quickly. I'm sad that the late hour happy hour is no more, but no one seemed to notice according to the bartender. The vibe is casual, but classy. It's a great place to catch up with friends and to have a drink. There's a new LGBT night called Tonic that's bi-weekly on Wednesdays. It's pretty chill and a great space to mingle outside of the usual spaces. The DJ played house music which had a perfect loungey yet mildly dancey vibe. Just what I was looking for! read more

The food & drinks were good but the food was not that good. I had the asada tacos & Mexican corn. Tacos are decent but the corn was not good at all. read more

Mark, Leslie, and Rosie are the best! We came here on a beautiful Halloween eve and got 7$ margaritas for proving that we voted! Love this place and the guacamole is sooo gooood. I also recommend the pepinos they're my absolute favorite read more

Super impressed the B bartendar remembered our drinks weeks after our last visit. The Cubano is sooooo tasty. read more

First time here and it did not disappoint! Staff was so cool and friendly, front door man was a sweetheart. DJ playing great music and everyone on the dance floor were beyond fun to dance around. I've never felt so welcomed in a dance environment like that. read more

Pattern is the best house music bar in Los Angeles. Had so much fun with my friends on a Saturday night, not to mention the drinks being on point. Definitely would recommend coming to Pattern Bar. Got a double charge on my CC the next day but Misael the owner was super awesome on getting that refunded to me. Customer service is awesome! DON'T MISS OUT PEOPLE! read more

Mikey is the best!! Always a good time here and the drinks are really good. I love coming here!

Only giving 5 stars for the door guy Big Omar. He brought amazing vibes and energy. He gave drink recommendations and not only were they really delicious , they were well worth the price. Check out this bar. Will definitely come back read more

Love this place, Larry was incredible and has a great magnetic energy that makes you want to come back to this bar and bring friends to experience this energy. 10/10 experience. Really enjoyed myself. Ambiance is incredible, great crowd, great drinks and the doors are open so you don't have to worry about feeling enclosed. Outside seating is also available. No I don't work here lol I just really love the spot and the service I got! Good to see peoples still care about customer satisfaction!!! read more

This place is the best bar to be. It doesn't matter if it's a Thursday or a Sunday night, this place always cracks. The staff is super friendly and really nice. The food is amazing. This bar showcases a lot of local dj talent and the best part is that there's no cover. If you like house or techno music, I highly recommend dropping in and checking it out. read more

I really liked the music and venue.. heck even the Chanel was quite tasty. This drink had jalapeño tequila like and cilantro and the service was fair. The reason you are one star is because I left and returned at 1:30 am because I forgot my card. The bartenders greeted us and gave us the card but tacked on a 20 fucken percent gratuity that they claim was a fee for leaving the card minutes after they called out the name. I have bartending for years and I understand if you leave it overnight but this was just total Tom Foolery and unjust with no explanation. They got their money same day, and lost a good customer. Misael needs to learn how to gage this type of situation that could easily escalate customers.. read more

I am truly impressed with this bar! Not only were the drinks and food great! But Michael the bartender really made my experience great! Very attentive and fast. Drinks were not watered down, sweet and strong! I can trust on Michael to make me any drink! Will be coming back every week! Michael, thank you for making me a regular! Will be coming back again! read more

This place is sick! We were just passing by and heard great music so we stuck around. Great food and hospitality! Omar is the man for telling us about the drink specialities. read more

New to my bar all stars list is Pattern Bar. Love the vibe, the food and Larry & Katie always take good care of me. I haven't tried any of their signature cocktails yet, but Larry makes a killer margarita. As for the food, you have to try the cubano sandwich. Hands down the best cubano ever. I've also had the ceviche and tacos... both really good as well. I also had a bite of the Mac and cheese which was solid. Since we can't give 1/2 stars, I'm rounding up to 5 stars, but what would make Pattern Bar perfect would be two things: 1.) It's extremely hot inside the bar. I've been told the AC has been broken for over a year. I can't even imagine how hot it would be in the summer. 2.) Move or preferably mount the tv somewhere else. Currently, the tv is bar level and at the end of the bar. Every time I'm there some clueless person parks themselves and their big head right in front of the tv. Once was during the freaking World Series! See the latest clueless big head from the other night (attached pic). With these two improvements Pattern Bar will be a 5/5 stars... and well deserved. read more

Pattern Bar - "You make a better door than a window"... yeah just sit right in front of the tv... don't mind me at all... - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had ordered a round of Mexican candy shots (which taste like pure tobasco and ketchup). One of the bartenders was watching like a hawk on how the shots we being made by another bartender. After the shots were made the eye watching bartender did a taste test out of one of my shots that directly being served to me. That is BEYOND unprofessional. If he really wanted to do a taste test he should have pour himself a SEPARATE cup for HIMSELF and taste it discreetly or be confident that it was being made well. That was uncalled for and it also didn't help that he was rude from the start. I've tried to avoid being served by bartender (wore a backwards hat and is the only one with a beard that night) read more
