It was actually 5 de mayo when I went. They had good drink specials in general and some specific for the night. I had a really nice time. Would definitely come back. Parking could be a little tricky. But a couple a trips around the block we were able to secure a spot for free and pretty close by. Security was nice too.

Kiso is the latest in Gay bars in the heart of downtown Los Ángeles which from the late 1980's…read moreslowly bled Gay establishments to mostly West Hollywood and slowly reestablished Gay venues in the early 2010's with such bars as Redline, Bar Mattachine, Precinct which is still extant. New Jalisco Bar near the old L.A. Times building was a mainstay for Latinos, but that died out during Covid when bars were forced to close. Also, for historical value, must list Harold's and Waldorf's which were pre-1980's and were notorious for hustlers. Waldorf's particularly got the reputation for having drag queens who supposedly stuffed their handbags with a heavy object to use as a weapon to sling around and protect themselves. Now the former owners of Redline are establishing a new bar, Kiso, which was also home to the former Score and 107, and caters to LGBTQ+ Communities. Kiso is split into three spaces: 1) Front is airy, bright, and more for Happy Hour conversations over signature cocktails and has the original, old school, long bar, that reeks of OG (Old Gay) history, from the present Barclay Hotel. 2) Middle room is more chicly sedate with more comfortable lounge seating and darker to create a more intimate atmosphere. 3) The inner room has a large dance floor and entertainment venue to host shows and related events. Some representative entertainment are DJ driven themed dance parties, obligatory drag shows, private events, fund raising, etc. Hours are 7pm to 2am Wednesday to Saturday if there are enough guests using the space. Due to lack of kitchen facilities, food will not be a main focal point. You can host an event at https://www.sickening.events/e/ Good to see that DTLA has representation within the LGBTQ+ Biosphere. 5 stars for continuing to create new spaces for the newer generations.

I stopped by this bar briefly for a friend's birthday and had a really concerning experience with…read moreone of the security guards. To be clear - this is not about being denied entry. I understand ID policies. I had lost my ID and only had photos of my passport and identification, so I asked politely if there was any way I could come in. I also mentioned I wasn't drinking just there for a friends birthday. What followed was honestly one of the most uncomfortable interactions I've ever had at a business. Instead of giving a simple yes or no, the security guard began loudly berating me for several minutes in front of a full line of people. He repeatedly said things like "what kind of person doesn't bring their ID" over and over again, questioned my intelligence, and spoke about me to my friend instead of addressing me directly. I stayed calm and kept saying it's completely fine if the answer is no - I just needed an answer. But he continued escalating, repeating himself, and making the situation more and more uncomfortable. At one point, people in line were visibly confused and reacting to what was happening. I ended up leaving crying, shaken and upset, which is not something I've ever experienced from simply asking a question at the door of a bar. I have never been so confused and shaken up this is such concerning behavior. Again, I fully respect policies. A simple "no, sorry" would have been completely fine. This review is only about the way the situation was handled. It felt unnecessarily aggressive and honestly unstable, and it created a very uncomfortable environment not just for me, but for everyone standing there. I hope management is aware of how their staff is representing the business, because this kind of interaction leaves a lasting impression.

It's a gay bar but they are accepting of everyone, we would go back again! We got the nachos, which are huge, a veggie burger, a grilled chicken sandwhich and a fried chicken sandwhich. All the food was good and the fries were tasty. There are tvs everywhere, its clean and in a great location and space. You order food at the counter or drinks at the bar, they have a good system. Highly recommend for lunch or early dinner to watch some sports. Warning that it turns into a club at night so if you are looking for sports like me 630-7 seems to be a good time to be done. I hope this review was helpful!

Only reason why I can't come back is because security doesn't do their job when you feel unsafe. 2 men kept harassing me, following & touching me Legit had dancers ask for them to be kicked out & nothing.

It's also a LBGTQ+ friendly leather bar and happens to be one of the favorite spots of beloved Yelp SFV AMB Quintin. I stopped here on a whim with some friends on our way home from a night out. We didn't want the fun to end, so one last night cap was in order. Parking is a bit difficult, but we managed to snag a spot. There is a big bar in the center if the room and a smaller bar out on the patio. There are also two pool tables and a stage for various events. My friends ordered beer and I kept it simple with a vodka soda. They don't serve food but the bartender said outside eats are welcomed. The DJ was bouncing and the staff & patrons were friendly and welcoming. I like the vibe here and would come back. They host nightly events such as: RuPaul's Drag Race Viewing Party on Fridays. $5 Domestic drafts on Sundays, drink specials and free pool on Mondays, $6 Wells on Wednesday and various contests monthly. Check the website for details. *Cash only. ATM on premises.

Parking situation is a bit of a hassle. Not their fault as it's in a residential area so parking can be a challenge. It was just after 7 when we arrived and the crowd was completely different from the last visit. More mellow as it was still early. Makes it easier to get a drink at the bar. Pool table was already utilized which seemed to always be the case. There were a couple of people inside along the bar area but majority was on the outdoor patio. It was somewhat busy but nothing compared to how this place can be. Especially when there's an event. Drinks are always a good price. We got a pitcher of beer which had a cooling pack inside. The question of the night was, will this thing take up the amount of glasses we could get out of the pitcher...lol... I've been a good amount of time but honestly don't know if they have a dance floor or not. We always spend time on the patio. There's 2 restroom, one with the toilet which the line can get crazy. The other is a communal one where it tends to be more easily accessible. It's cash only for drinks. Service has always been good and the crowds always fun.
