My friends and I had dinner nearby and my husband found this place on Yelp. When we stopped by it was still early in the evening so there were only 2 customers when we stopped by. We ordered a few drinks at the bar and a basket of fries. We asked to sit at the reserved table and since no one was there, the bartender let us. We had a great time drinking and catching up. Fries was good and I really liked the drink my husband ordered, bubble rainbow bunnies. Eventually more customers came in and the bar was popping. Definitely check it out! read more

The bald male bartender is extremely rude. He thinks he's being funny by being short with customers. I wish I could give this place zero stars. I walked up to the bar and he got frustrated bc I wasn't ready to order. He fires back "You look like you want beer, there's the taps. Figure it out". I proceeded to order an Irish coffee and he got upset because they had to make coffee. My visit obviously bothered him so I'll be sure to never spend my money at this bar again. read more

My partner and I LOVE R Bar. I've been here more times than I can count. I usually order the Veggie Flatbread which is always a winner. It's a little spicy and topped with cooked veggies. It hits the spot every time. I also love their smash burger which is a really generous portion. The service is great between the bartenders and the KJ's! read more

I can't explain enough how Terrible this awful staff treated us. I was in a coma for seven months and came in a wheelchair and walker over the years. Recently I WALKED from my home and after a delicious meal at Taylor's suggested we walk down as I was feeling great about all I accomplished. The shaved haired man has a weird vendetta against my husband and when I tried to take up for him , screamed at me using profanity. No one was in there and he loved refusing us service. He could provide no reason why as he said he can't remember why he refused everyone service. Apparently there are quite a lot. My husband had met one of the owners while I was hospitalized and spoke quite highly of her. Before coming out this guy conferenced with the doorman as if deciding a story. One of the weirdest experiences of my life. Hardly what I expected in such a great night. Just continued on to one of our normal spots in the neighborhood. read more

I tried R Bar earlier this year with a friend, and I could see the appeal: a casual spot with a dive bar vibe (and bonus: they offer a trivia night if that's your thing). We met there during an early evening, and it was not very busy. There was ample seating including booths, and ordering was very easy. Though this place is not swanky, cocktail prices are about what you expect in the Los Angeles area and are cheaper than what you would find in a more upscale bar. They also offer a food menu, and I though the onion rings were not overly breaded and had a good crispy texture. I thought R Bar was a great spot to catch up with a friend in a chill environment, and I could see myself going back to try their trivia night in the future. read more

Ambiance- looks like R bar has been a long-time neighborhood establishment. Though looks can be deceiving, the feel is authentic. R bar IS my neighborhood spot now that I've moved a few blocks away. I come here once or twice a month for food, drinks and ambience. My family likes it. My colleagues like it. My friends dig it. It has an old 1800s pirate feel. Karaoke- brass monkey used to be THE place to go for karaoke! I still love that place! But now my family and friends prefer R bar karaoke because it isn't nearly as crowded! You actually get your chance to sing! The k host never demands a tip to have your turn at rocking out to your favorite tune! The patrons are friendly and supportive. Not everyone is there to sing. Folks are chilling, eating, socializing. And applauding or singing along with you. Food- my coworkers appreciate the mix of vegetarian options along with everything else on the menu. It's a bar. The menu isn't big. But it's impressive for a bar. The food is much better than other bars. Veggie and chicken quesadillas. Pulled pork sandwich. Chicken bacon club. Rosemary fries. Juicy onion rings. And I've come back twice for the tasty chicken bacon salad! Yeah. A delicious, filling salad. At a bar. Nearly epic! Drinks- excellent margaritas, mules, and old fashions. $9 beers on draught. $8 Pacifico can. But better deals at happy hour, which is 5-7pm! The weekly specials are great! And the bartenders truly craft their own cocktail specials! read more

It's hard to describe what this place has become to me through a review, but I will do my best. This is not just a bar or a community space. It's something else entirely that cannot be quantified. Come for the drinks and food, stay for the Monday night bingo, or the Wednesday night trivia, near-nightly karaoke with some of the best KJ's in the biz, the curated playlists, the chitchat with the regulars, banter with the bartenders, and fast friendships. Whether it's for victims displaced by the fires, or a friend in need, R Bar has stepped up and taken charge. I can't help but love the place this more-than-just-a-bar has taken in my life. read more

Super cool relaxing place with great vibes, professional bartenders and a super fun Saturday karaoke scene. This is the place to go for public karaoke on a Saturday night in Ktown. I went here with a group to celebrate a birthday on Saturday and had an absolute blast! I'm not a boozy drinker, but the bar had no problem with soda waters/lime. The food menu looked great. Everyone I talked to was friendly, karaoke even inspired some dancing at times, and the bathrooms were clean. If you're looking for a comfortable bar with reasonable food, drinks, and Saturday night karaoke, check out this R Bar. Parking can be a bit of a challenge if you're trying to find a meter (it took about 10-15mins of circling), but just stay patient and committed! read more

We did not expect it to be karaoke night but it was a very nice surprise. Grabbed a seat on the earlier side and stayed for a while watching people.

Cute business but unfortunately rude staff. I went to go order some food after a long day. This was also around 8PM so I thought they would at least take food orders. Nigel, the bartender, checked for ID but unfortunately I left it at home. I had a picture of my ID I was willing to show, but he said he would not accept it. I have used a picture before to get in bars but just order food. Instead of hearing me out, he immediately refused service and even said "I look 22 tops" which was extremely unnecessary and uncalled for. What type of place doesn't allow their customers to eat? And then leaves backhanded rude comments to them? I understand that I didn't have my ID but instead of just helping a customer Nigel treated me with such condescending rudeness and unempathy. Made the bar feel unsafe to be in. Sad because I was excited to try karaoke at the bar. Treat your staff better R Bar read more

Still solid. Glad they don't use passwords anymore. That seemed quirky before, dated now. R Bar's unique layout and ambience is what makes this bar great. I wish the music wasn't so loud, but if you go into the booth seating, the music isn't as loud. Only negative experience is that the bartenders are limited to the cocktails on their menu and very basic drinks. They don't appear to have the skill or knowledge to make popular, but more complex cocktails that are not on their menu. I'm not sure if the management has rules against cocktails that are not on the menu or if the bartenders are simply not skilled enough, but that took a star off for me. read more

Even the waiting area with it's low lit seating surrounded by book cases was really cool. My wife, my sister and I had a wonderful table near the fireplace in the center of the dining area. Nearby were draped booths that would be perfect for a more romantic evening. Our server was, Haley...she was incredible. Very personable, helpful and extremely professional. You'll be in good hands if you're lucky enough to get her! Then the food...Wow. My wife and my sister got the filet migons, watching my wife's euphoric reaction of taking her fist bite made my evening! Omg...thankfully, my wife let me try garlic fries that came with the filets, and they were the best I ever had! I got the Langostino Fettuccine...outstanding. You have to dig a little spicy, which I do...but the vodka cream sauce is the real highlight of this dish. For deserts we got the apple cobbler, the creme brulee and sticky toffee cake. All three were fantastic. But I preferred the cobbler and the toffee cake the most. We didn't get the Le Petit Gateau, their chocolate cake...but we decided to get one to go! HA...it's unbelievably rich and pretty tall and big. It's topped with candied wild cheries...it's two days later and we're still eating this yummy treat. All in all...I would recommend this for any occasion...wether you're looking for just a night out with solid service and great food, to a romantic evening. We got there around 6...but later on there was live music with these two gentlemen on guitars that really played perfect atmosphere music. You can't go wrong with a night out at Firefly!

The vibe is perfect, the bartender is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the drink menu. There is no wine here but the cocktails are excellent, full of flavor, and so is the whiskey. The prices of the drinks are on the higher end but well worth it. The music takes you to all different eras and we had a really great time and highly recommend a stop here! Cheers!

We were running late to our reservation due to parking, but the concierge kindly checked if tables…read morewere still available and seated us right away. They placed us at a table with a fireplace behind us, which was perfect since LA can get chilly at night. A special thank you to our waitress, Salma, who made our night even more memorable. She was very personable and attentive, and she even guided us to the rooftop Desert 5 Spot bar, which truly made the evening feel special. The food was top notch, and the ambiance of the place is absolutely stunning. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

This was my first time dining at this restaurant. The server was great, the food was delicious, and…read morethe atmosphere was amazing. However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

This place is awesome…read more First off the ambiance is like Disneyland (in a good way). It feels like you're in Encanto or Coco. Very cool. The service and staff is top notch as you would expect in this part of town. The food is absolutely incredible the steak was cooked perfectly, the appetizer are delightful and plentiful. Great place for a meal or a party

We usually come here for happy hour with my coworkers so I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this…read moreplace yet. The Hideaway is exactly that. A small restaurant located inside this plaza in Beverly Hills that you would never know about unless someone told you. Every time I've been, the waiters, service and management have been so nice and come check on you constantly. There are several sections in the restaurant (I think 3 but I could be wrong), but we've dined in the main room which has a retractable ceiling for when it's too sunny out, they have a bar area that has a small little lounge section in the back of it, and it looks like there may be another section that I haven't been to. The place definitely gives off those Latin vibes and you feel it once you arrive. As for the food, my boss ordered appetizers for the table, which were shrimp tacos, flautas, and empanadas which were all very good! My favorite were the flautas with guac. For my main dish I went with the Chilean sea bass with a side of broccolini and rice. That sea bass was phenomenal! It had a nice sweet glaze on it with a very slit crisp texture on the top. One of the best! The Hideaway goes down as one of my favorite spots in Beverly Hills and I highly recommend checking it out. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

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.

Sergio responded to my review with NOTHING BUT LIES…read more Nobody was brought on stage for a birthday surprise. They wheeled the woman out in a cake on the main floor so that's LIE #1. If you have SUPPOSED FOOTAGE of me receiving this birthday surprise then please post it!!! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SEE IT LIE#2. 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!!!
