    Really cute amazing bar and space when we went and wasn't packed, but that's because the Dodgers are just won but really loved how the staff was super friendly, nice and helpful. The cocktails were great and the DJ was fantastic and the views especially after the Dodgers winning World Series with the fireworks Was stunning.

    How to book a table here ? Is it only when an event happens? If want to go for Saturday night out for drinks?

    Hey, are you even 21??…read more I'm gonna need to see some ID before I can let you enter... (Moments later) You can't possibly be 21, you were born in 2005... (Counting backwards on my fingers) Oh. My. God, I'm getting old!!!! ---------------------------- Alright now that we got that out of the way.... Listen up, & Listen up Good. Cause Tonight, Tonight, I'm setting the Bar straight! Now,.... Make sure to hang onto your ID, stay plenty hydrated & be ready to pace yourself... Cause we are about to Hit the bar running and go full throttle with some virtual bar hopping. But first, let's see just how many styles of bars there really are. -Ahh the classic, no-frills Dive Bar -The Cocktail Bar/The Martini Bar -The Sports bar, The BeerGarden -The Pub, The Tavern, The Biker Bar (make sure you wear your best leather pants) -The Hotel Bar, The Rooftop Bar, The Lounge -The Night Club, The Comedy Club, The Karaoke Bar -The Tiki Bar, The Wine Bar -The hidden Speakeasy (my personal Fav.) And of course, where even at 8am there's no judgement passed... -The Airport Bar. Speaking of Traveling... Bonus: Consider yourself lucky if your hotel room just happens to have a well-stocked mini bar. (These are getting fewer and fewer as I travel) Yeah, each bar listed above has its own vibe, and depending on your mood, your own individual style or even what kind of night out on the town you are looking to have... The type of bar you choose is important. But sometimes, the Bar Chooses You! Bar Magnolia quietly enters the chat. It was October 11th, 2025 and my wife & I just checked into Hotel Figueroa in DTLA. (EPIC REVIEW Coming Soon!!!) While we were waiting for our room to be ready, we decided to check out the Hotel Bar Lounge... First thought, Color me Impressed! High ceilings, Natural lighting, classy decor, comfy couches... Yeah, take your time with that room, we'll wait! So we plopped down onto their sofa, waited for a cocktail menu, and let the "we left the kids at home with Grandma; let's enjoy being kid-free for the night begin". $18.00 cocktails....Lets Goooo!! Looking back at the Photos, I can't exactly recall what we ordered... Was it a whiskey sour? Was it a paper plane?? Honestly, Who cares! They tasted great. I was sitting across from a beautiful woman. And we were responsibly adulting. What more could a guy ask for?? I'm glad you asked! After a long car ride in, sipping on water, then the first few sips of my cocktail, I suddenly had to go... Luckily, the restrooms are located just adjacent to the bar area and DAMN are they clean!! Hey, if a bar restroom is well taken care of, you know the place has Class.... And Bar Magnolia has the Class to Match! Of course, there is bar stool seating at the bar... (I usually prefer sitting at the bar as there's always some great stories to be heard and when it time to order another round, you can literally just cut out the... Middle Man (Aka waiting for your server to come check back in) In addition to the bar top stools, there are also low top tables, and a few couch-chairs with a low top table for more intimate conversations. Besides those $18 craft cocktails, a short, well Curated list of bubbles, vino and draft beers are all up for grabs. Unfortunately, we had stopped to eat before we arrived (bad move on our part), but next time, and THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME, we will definitely partake in their food menu (cause damn, did it look GOOD!) So whether you are a guest of Hotel Figueroa, you are leaving the Crypto Arena after a concert and want to paint the town red, or you are simply just wanting to sit, relax and enjoy a nice cocktail at a classy, upscale, but not so pretentious Cocktail Lounge... Bar Magnolia is your place! Well, it's almost closing time, they are about to call for Last Call, so order us another round, bottoms up and Cheers to us!!!

    Came to Bar Magnolia on a Friday evening specifically for happy hour, which their website clearly…read moreadvertises as Monday-Friday. Once there, I was told happy hour is only Monday through Thursday. I pulled up their own website and showed it to the server. The response? A shrug. No apology, no explanation, no effort to make it right. This is straight-up false advertising, and the lack of accountability made it worse. If you're going to change your happy hour, update your website and train your staff to handle it professionally. I shouldn't have to argue with a bar over their own posted information. Won't be back.

    Great food, great service, and awesome energy all around! I decided to check it out after hearing…read moregood things, and it didn't disappoint! I ordered the 1988 steak and Namsan pork cutlet and everything was absolutely delicious. The steak was super savory, perfectly cooked, and the sauce on top was amazing. Dipping it in the flavored salt made it even better. The pork cutlet was crispy and savory. Everything was well-super delicious and satisfying. Ellie was the best! So friendly and attentive. She really made the experience even more enjoyable. Great food and amazing service, I'll definitely be coming back!

    It was a Tuesday night and my friend came across this place on Instagram, so we decided to give it…read morea try. To start, maybe my expectations were a bit high, but I was surprised that no banchan (side dishes) were served. That's usually something I look forward to at Korean restaurants, so it felt like something was missing. We ordered the kimchi pancake and the stir-fried kimchi with pork belly. The kimchi pancake was a bit too oily, and we had to cut it ourselves, which made it a little less enjoyable. The pork belly itself was decent, but it felt like you had to order additional items like tofu or fried rice to make it a more complete dish. It was also pretty uncomfortable inside--the space felt really hot, especially since the food was being cooked right in front of us on a portable stove. It didn't seem like the AC was on or working well, which made the experience less enjoyable overall. Considering the overall experience, the pricing felt a bit high for the level of service and quality provided. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but there were a few things that made it fall short of expectations.
