This place is a vibe. I know that stating that is such a cliche. Like going to a market can be a vibe if they have the right mangoes and tajin. But [[HIGHLIGHT]]this place is a vibe because it commits to its character. It knows who it is portraying to be, and never surrenders its identity based on opinion. Meaning that this place is pretty and pink and a tropical print mixture, and its owns its look.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And if you ain't trying to get the vibe that keep on moving. This place is also nestled in the heart of the Arts district next to other bars that know their personality and go spheres-out to claim. So its aesthetic meets the orbiting bars not in style but commitment to its brand,. I went on a night where they were specifically showing a Love Island Episode. Why? Morbid curiosity? Guilty pleasure? A reason to go out. Yes and then some. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was immediately recognizable by its hot pink door. The door promised a portal and it delivered. As soon as you enter the bar it hits with theme, with neon, with crowd dressed in posh attire. Like I said it was a vibe in pink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I went to the bathroom the line was only female. The leader of the line was explaining that they could use the male bathroom since no males were there and cue my entrance. A few women were already inside and I waited until the line leader said it was ok to go in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I implict take away is that this night was women heavy. Like the shows fan base was mostly young chicks. Who knew? I have been to a few soccer games at bars in the recent past and of course there is a lot of expressions of enthusiasm and commentaries as the game progresses. The bar was set up in the same way. The tvs were there, showing the game, and I wondered if they were going to collectibely gasp and root as the episode continued I saw that they did. When an Islander said something impactful the crowd reacted. It was like seeing a game and enjoying it but here it was relationship dynamcis/drama unfold. And people were here for it. In fact, as I was waiting to order my drink, I heard customers behind me analyze the drama as sports fan analyze a game. And they were ciomparing different seasons. Apparently season six made the guy behind him feel uncomfortable because it was too freak. Either that season or this season had toe sucking. So there was history in this game that led to fan reactions and follow up insight. They were invovled fans. And this was the congregation for involved fans. I went to live the dream of a fan who would die for this and could not come. I eventually gave up on a drink the line was too long. read more

Food is ok, we got the famous fries. It's basically fries with cheese and bacon. Nothing special. I don't know why it's "famous". The pink drink is good. I enjoyed it a lot. The service is okay. They check your ID before you come in. I sat in a reserved table and they had to move me bc well, it was reserved. Lol no hard feelings. That's ok! Ambiance of the place is cute, fun, flirty and overall a great time! I think they started putting a loud song and I thought they're going to have karaoke. But they didn't. Anyway, check the place out. It's cute and cozy. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Step into the universe of Scarface! WOW! Felt like I was on a movie set, pink walls and checkered flooring[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good tunes and good drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I haven't been to this location since it was little bear bar, so that was neat to see this dramatic change. Our bartender was attentive and super friendly which is nice! I hate going to a LA bar and the service is booty and dull. lol Didn't get a chance to try their food but it'll give me a reason to come back. If you want a drink and enjoy a not so typical bar. Check it out mang! read more

Walked in, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the first smell to hit my nose was cleaning supplies - a mix between Clorox and Lysol. It was really off-putting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I expected to smell coconuts or pineapple to match the decor with palm trees and pink lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lemon-pepper wings were good. There was a selection of seltzer's, but I was told they had been out for two weeks. Bartender was really nice. There were two TVs playing the World Cup - one a really large one near the restroom. read more

Highlights are the $10 cocktails and $6 food specials. I can definitely recommend the Big Stick cocktail, a nice cold drink that really tastes like the popsicle. Great for this hot weather. The bar food is pretty good too. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street parking but you might have to walk a block or two. read more

Free easy street parking, came on a Wed around 7 pm & there were 2-3 other ppl at the bar. Super pink, glossy, dark yet bright vibez. Professional & hospitable staff! Music not too loud so can hold a convo. Standard liquor selection, appreciated the non mainstream hard seltzer. The snacks on the other hand were beyond atrocious, like Kroger brand frozen nonsense. However the vibe is superb so I won't deduct a star.. Will def recommend & return ! read more

Forgot to post review. Was just here 11-7, celebrating a good friends' 40th bday. There's parking located across from the venue which is about $5-10 I think. However, free parking is also available in the street. I parked right around the corner from the lot. Didn't grab any food but the service at the bar was exceptional and so were the prices. My drink was good. I'd purchase again. "Golden Hour Sour". A whiskey or whisky with bourbon cocktail. Something a lil fancy in which I was not expecting lol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance and vibe from the moment walking in the establishment to leaving. Gave me vibes as if I were in some club in Miami on a lit night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No complaints. I'd definitely return. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's as if Miami and LA have a love child in the 1980s and it was born here in the Arts District. Neon vibes in the heart of LA.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So Miami Vice that it makes you want to rock a white blazer and purchase a speedboat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Shimmering disco ball above the black and white retro floor, with mirrored glass surrounding the bar and palm trees that make you wonder am I still in LA.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Incredible mixologist service! Eddie was the man behind the bar taking care of us with bottles of Chimay and shots of rum. Worth a visit and worth a dance. read more

The Flamingo Bar - The aesthetics! - Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I met with some friends here to catch up and it was the perfect spot to do just that! The music was vibin and the drinks were tasty! The prices were fair and the food was actually good for bar food. If you sit at a table you do still have to get up and order at the bar even if the place is empty but we did not mind there was a friendly gentleman employee bringing us our orders and making sure our table stayed clean. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music could be better it sounds like they let their employees take turns on the auxs haha.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]That would be the only down side just as you start feeling the music it can change and no one really dances but once in a while a small group will.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]After a few drinks my friends and I wanted to dance and wish they kept the same music but they switched it back up to music that we ended up just sitting back down and talking but it was still a great night and I would definitely go back![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And they have a cute vintage Photo Booth![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One star down for the change in music and they do only have 2 restrooms can't imagine that nightmare on a busy night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Watch yourself at this bar ladies. The bouncer on Friday and Saturday night's Dannie is a dick! He's not doing his job correctly he's all over the place. He doesn't even scan the IDs correctly. read more

Checked this place out before a reservation we had nearby. Really cool vibe with the flamingo theme and neon tropical decor. I got the Speedboat Martini that was the most spirit forward out of their cocktails and enjoyed the coconut wash that added that extra a nice body to the cocktail. A lot of the other cocktails are tropical themed as well that are tasty while looking pretty too. Definitely fun place to check out if you're in the area! read more

We happened to stumble on this place on our walk thru LA as we searched for fun bars! And what a fun surprise it was! The pink and black door caught our eye. When you step inside, it's straight Miami Vice vibes, from decor to flooring, it was just so reminiscent of what I would expect the 80s club scene to be. Aesthetics!!! I recommend you check their social media on insta to see what music they play each night. Although we didn't get to try their food, we def enjoyed their happy hour cocktails. The girl working the bar was so incredibly nice and helpful. We were there before the night scene and were able to enjoy our cocktail but I could def see this place getting busy at night. It just feels like a cool spot to be. Will def be returning. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is aesthetically pleasing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However worst service. Bartender splashed us with water and didn't even apologize. Then I order a beer and they have to change the keg which is normal. But then never gives me my beer. Try to flag down every bartender and they all kept ignoring me. After 15 minutes the bartender finally acknowledges me and I remind him of the beer. Just hands the beer still no apology for giving it so late. Worst part we had tipped $10 which we so regret. Never go here. Where is Jon Taffer to save this place. read more

The Flamingo is located directly across from the restaurant Camelia...and it ended up being the perfect place for some drinks after dinner. We stopped by the Flamingo around 10:00 p.m. after dinner on a Friday. The lighting is perfectly dim inside, and the music is loud enough to dance to but not so obnoxious that it prevents conversation. It wasn't too crowded yet and there was still plenty of seating when we first got there, but it seems like around 10:00 is when it starts to pick up as people were continuously trickling in. The crowd is a good mix of people...old, young, drinkers, dancers, etc. The bartenders are quick, efficient, and friendly. Also the drinks seemed pretty reasonably priced...goose was $15 a shot and patron silver at $14 a shot. Overall it's a great place to grab some drinks, and I'm sure I'll be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

We came in around 730 on a Saturday evening. There was 1 person at the bar and 3 people at a table. There was 1 bartender and 1 bar back working. Sat at the bar for approx 20 minutes without a single greeting from the bartender. Made eye contact multiple times to try and get a drink, but he ignored us. So eventually we just got up and left. Won't be back. read more

Stopped by this spot for a pre-drink experience before heading to The Obscured, and it was a great choice. The Paloma was delicious and surprisingly strong. The decor inside is beautiful, with plenty of pink and lots of flamingo-themed accents, creating a fun and vibrant atmosphere. It looks like they offer a brunch menu with bottomless mimosas on weekends, and they also host drag queen shows on select days. During our visit, it was relatively empty, which worked out perfectly for a quick drink before our main event. Overall, a great spot to grab a cocktail and enjoy the unique ambiance! read more

So my review is actually from mid last year but based off recent reviews...they still have a lot of room to grow. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had gone for the first time because it looked like a fun time however... it's not worth it in my opinion as far as ambiance, music, or even drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was definitely aesthetically pleasing & it will only be fun if you have the right friend group or go out just to get drunk.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyways here's my original review: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super young crowd the night I went and I'm saying this as a 24 yr old with younger friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was extremely mixed as far as dress code goes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a group of wayy older men in the corner by the bar (making them unavoidable) talking to young girls & starting arguments with young guys that seemed to be their friends... so weird.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]No one was dancing just shuffled around waiting for better music. The DJ tried a different genre and the whole room stopped moving- it was that kind of bad that my friends & I laughed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They kind of checked ID? Not for everyone though since we pretty much just walked in and I always get ID'd since I'm petite & look young. Ordering drinks here was a mess. We waited by what seemed was the bar but they eventually redirected us & the line (almost 30min later) to another counter. The floor was messy & when we finally got drinks (they couldn't do anything not on the menu... seriously? Not even a Long Island or basic Moscow mule) we started looking for a spot to hang out and dance. Someone that was seemingly underdressed security passed by & tried to imply, quite rudely w/ a face, that my group was vaping and we looked at our phones or drinks in hands but he said "just to let you know, it's not allowed". Lol. There was a kid only like 4 feet away openly vaping and he didn't tell him a thing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Honestly the interior is cute and sure it's "insta worthy" but the vibes are really not there at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So much more fun bars with better atmospheres and drinks in LA. Such a letdown![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great bar! I came on a Saturday night and it got crowded in here around 11:30 PM. The music felt very much like radio show music (Power 106) but they did play some of my favorites! I will say this bar tends to have more of an older crowd, I seen lots of people coming here after events or after a long day in corporate America. Overall, would recommend for the vibes and good drinks. read more

Went on a Friday night around 11:30pm. It wasn't super busy that night probably because it was Friday. There was no cover charge at least that night. (Guessing there isn't anyways) Pretty spacious space, which I do love. And it's a really cool and cute place. They also have a photo booth there. Music was good, they played a variety of pop to Latin to hiphop. Drinks were decent. I only give it 4/5 because not a lot of people were dancing, so it was pretty dead in that sense. But a lot of people were chillin at tables. It's probably much busier on Saturday compared to a last Friday night. I would definitely go again!! read more

Where to start? [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is a cool dive bar but it definitely depends on the manager of the day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's this guy named Joseph, he acts like he owns the bar, giving out drinks, dancing with clients and getting wasted. Then you have Devin, she's ok if her boyfriend is not there. She treat customers depending on her mood. I'm a regular and she told me a couple of days ago, not because I've always over served you, you should expect the same treatment every time you come. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It used to be my go to place after work, but I can't handle the drama.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So good luck. read more

Worst bar experience ever. I came here with some friends on 6/12 and was completely sober. I had no drinks prior to coming in so I went to the bar to order one. I waited for at least 10-15 minutes for a bartender to help me but I kept getting ignored. I understand it was busy so I kept waiting but this one bartender (tall girl with wavy hair) in my section was helping everyone else, even ones that came after me. Mind you there were 4-5 bartenders working. I got frustrated so I told my guy friend to try and order for me. He only waited under 5 minutes and sure enough she went up to him first, ignoring me again. At that point I knew it was a racist thing. Whatever, I ignored it because I got my drink anyways. I'm getting my card out so I could pay and as I do that she walks away to help someone else. We already waited at the bar for long enough (at least 20-25 mins at this point) so we ask another bartender to pay us out. She gives us the receipt and as I'm about to write down the tip, the first bartender comes up and takes the receipt away from me asking if I got charged. She made it seem like I didn't pay as I clearly had the receipt and card in my hands. She double checked very passive aggressively and I told her that her coworker helped us since she was ignoring me. From that point on I was already upset so I didn't feel like she deserved a tip. I gave her the receipt back and she asked me "what's your problem?" I tried to explain how I was ignored and how she helped everyone else but me. Then acted like I didn't pay was the cherry on top.. She said I had to wait my turn but I did, yet she was helping others that came after me. She cut me off while I was talking, said I was drunk and that I'm cut off from drinks and started laughing. She kept talking over me and shooed me away while her drunk self kept laughing. I was completely sober and that was my first drink that I ordered for the night. I felt like she was discriminating towards me because I wasn't the same race as everyone else. My friends also said it seemed like she was drunk because she was on one from the beginning. If I was drunk the security guards wouldn't have let me in that bar. I usually tip no matter what because I also work in the service industry and I know that some people live off of tip. However, she was super rude and drunk so I don't believe she deserved it. Tip is earned and voluntary, you can't expect it when you're giving a customer bad service, being racist, rude, and condescending. I never leave bad reviews like this but the way she was treating me was not cool. Flamingo bar, do better and hire better bartenders who don't get drunk on the clock. My friends and I were so excited to try out this new bar in LA but we will never be returning here again. Don't waste your time coming here, there are other bars in LA with better service and drinks! read more

Service = top notch. 100% amazing. Bartenders = friendly. Professional. Lively. Drinks = good pours. Great options. Music = a little repetitive, but not bad. Atmosphere = mix of locals/regulars and others Weekdays = sometimes low key, sometimes crazy Weekends = always fun and energetic Food = typical bar food. limited menu. Great veggie burger. Good options. (Needs fried ravioli or pizza rolls.) Perks = quiet, artsy neighborhood. If Tara is working, expect a friendly visit. She's the best. read more

We were hungry after going to The Obscure and this place was open. The hamburgers were very good. At first we ordered one and an order of fries. It was so good we got another one, but this time with bacon. Mmm so good. I also had the Big Stick cocktail. It tasted just like a Big Stick. The service was good.

My favorite new bar!!!! Found this gem with my friends last night and it was so much fun! Pink everywhere and so lively. The music was really good from 80's, to Spanish, to current sings from right now. The drinks were delicious and their fried pickles 10/10. It did take a little long to get drinks but other than that it was such a good time. Can't wait to come again read more

This place is where you go when you have nothing else better to do. Sorry I wasn't impressed. My homegirl had a low key hang with her friends here for her birthday. There were places to sit and it's definitely festively decorated. The music was okay, nothing to write home about. The food and drinks are generic. Exactly What you would expect from a bar. Unfortunately the bar tender was by himself since it was early 8p ish and it took FOREVER to get food. I was starving and tempted to leave and go across the way and eat at the restaurant. In the end we celebrated my friend and got up outta there, lol. read more
