    Came here for a quick drink with friends after a play and it wasn't packed so we were able to get seated by the bar very quickly and was able to order at the bar with no crowd. They had pizza that hit the spot. The parking in this area isn't great but if you happen to be around this area I would recommend popping in. We went on a Friday night and it was very chill vibes.

    Best pint of Guinness in LA! Super easy part of downtown. Good happy hour. Good drinks.

    Came to watch a UFC fight with my husband and mother in law. The burgers were yummy. The pizza was ok. The drinks were great. Service was great. Ambience was great we had the back room to ourselves. Love the decor!

    Decently located on the west of downtown LA. Small location, but it does fill up. Bartenders are extremely nice and welcoming. The menu sounds and looks promising, but unfortunately the food does not live up to the standards. It is extremely greasy and tastes like frozen food I can reheat in the oven/microwave. The fries were very bland along with the cauliflower bites I ordered. However, the drinks were decent. They have a solid selection of drinks and beer. Overall the vibe is what really carries the place. I recommend you go with friends and maybe grab a bite before going to Liberties.

    Cool bar with a great happy hour. Inside is spacious and stylish. Plenty of seating with tables and a few booths. There's also a small front patio area. TVs over the bar to watch a game. Came in for happy hour with a friend. Highlights are the $7 beers, $10 cocktails, and food specials. We got the pizza and wings and they were good! Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street meter parking but you might have to walk a block or two. It's also a 10min walk from the metro.

    Classic Pepperoni Pizza

    Stopped in for a quick bite before a show nearby. We were fortunate enough to show up right at happy hour. Service from the bar was fast and friendly. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I got the pepperoni pizza. Zero regrets. We didn't stick around long enough to experience a bunch but the lively atmosphere, great service, and delicious food make for an easy 5 star experience.

    Enjoyable overall vibe and great service. Ordered quick and served quick. Very basic order for us, pepperoni pizza and buffalo wings. Their regular bar food options were absolutely fantastic. Plenty of topping on the pizza and the wings were crisped to perfection. Would absolutely return to try more of their food options.

    We stopped in for a beer and some food on a Saturday afternoon. It was one of the best Guinness pours I've had in the US. The wings were great with plenty of sauce (Thai chili) and the pepperoni pizza was also very good. The service was great even though it got very busy really quickly after opening for a televised soccer match.

    Best Guinness pour in LA, I fear. Just stumbled into this place and it rocks. Bar food hits too. It's prob slept on because it's downtown, but just take the Metro it won't kill you

    They had a personalized menu for the couple  which was the perfect touch!
    Lisa F.

    We attended an engagement party at this venue and were surprised by the amount of space in being able to accommodate everyone. We found the seating very comfortable and the service was good. The drinks were very tasty and there was a great crowd that was enjoying a basketball game that evening as well.

    A hidden gem with the best place to watch sports. Try not to stay long enough to get a parking ticket.

    Gumbo Brothers made the night…read more... Stumbled into this portion of level 8, after the vibes were mild near the carousel rooftop bar. Good size crowd, but it was easy enough to get a drink from the bar. Vibes were good and got better when the Gumbo Brothers came on. They are a cover band, but specific to hip hop and RnB, and they killed it. Jay on the sax was amazing, and Apollo on the mic was perfect. We will be back on Friday or Saturday, since I believe that's when the Gumbo Brothers are there.

    Overpriced, excessive fees, and disappointing service…read more Honestly, I was shocked when the check arrived. A 20% tip was already included, plus they charged an additional 10% tax on the tip and another 3% credit card processing fee. At this point, it honestly feels like the restaurant is looking for every possible way to squeeze money out of customers. It comes across as a scammy way of doing business. To make matters worse, everything on the menu is already overpriced, and the tables are so small they can barely fit one plate comfortably. The food was just okay. The only thing I'll give them credit for is that the drinks were good. Unfortunately, the service wasn't impressive either. We had to wait quite a while before the server came around to take our order. Overall, the experience wasn't worth the price. Between the overpriced menu, excessive fees, tiny tables, and slow service, I wouldn't be rushing back.

    The Library Bar: A Story Worth Revisiting…read more If I were reviewing the Library Bar like a book, I'd say it had me from the first chapter. The atmosphere is the kind of setting a writer could easily get lost in--dim lighting, shelves of books, cozy corners, and just enough old-library charm to make you forget you're sitting in the middle of downtown Los Angeles. It was the perfect setting for my Forbidden Chapter birthday gathering celebrating banned and challenged books. The food was great, the drinks were great, and the atmosphere was even better. We talked, laughed, discussed books, and simply enjoyed being together. It felt intimate, interesting, and a little different from the usual birthday celebration--which was exactly what I wanted. Now, every good story needs a little conflict, and in this one, it was parking. Finding parking nearby was definitely the least enjoyable chapter of the experience. Give yourself extra time if you're driving. But once I walked through the doors, the parking frustration became a footnote. Great setting. Great food. Great drinks. Wonderful atmosphere. My only complaints are the parking and the fact that this story doesn't have a sequel in my neighborhood. If it did, I'd definitely be a regular.

    Library Bar is honestly my favorite local spot because the vibes stay vibing I keep coming back…read morefor midweek happy hour, good music, and the overall energy. Food is hit or miss overall, and the sliders perfectly represent that lol. Sometimes the meat tastes fresh, seasoned, and so good... and sometimes it absolutely does not. Today was unfortunately one of those days Dear gods don't let me get sick. Very inconsistent Also the well vodka tastes like punishment so drink at your own risk. So I never benefit from happy hour prices. And one time after my birthday get together there, my friend had her card number stolen (card was charged there a couple weeks later) and had a hard time getting ahold of anyone after, which wasn't great. Service is cool, not amazing, but somehow I still keep coming back because the vibe wins every time.

    Excellent food and experience! The staff was super nice and we felt like it was a true hidden gem…read more They knew it was my friend's birthday so made a special effort to wish her a happy birthday and include a candle on top of one of the pastries. The food is really good and the tea choices are excellent. The mocktail was a nice add to help refresh ourselves on a hot day. Overall a nice place to celebrate any special occasion or gather with friends. The parking lot next to the hotel is super easy to park at. All day parking around $10, self park.

    The DTLA Proper Hotel is beautifully designed by Kelly Wearstler, a former athletic faciliity…read more Although I've done several staycations here, tea at Dahlia remained on my bucket list of experiences, since it's only offered on weekends. I finally was able to check it off, thanks to a hotel offer with a dining credit. Dahlia is the gorgeous petite space behind the larger ground floor restaurant space now called Cabrillo (formerly Caldo Verde). Dahlia opened as a bespoke cocktail lounge, then began to offer tea. Now it's just tea. There are five 2-tops and two 4-top tables. All food and beverage venues at the Proper used to be under the auspices of famed chef Suzanne Goin and her business partner/sommelier Caroline Styne. They are no longer affiliated with the Proper, but many of their dishes/contributions remain. The last named vestige of them is on the tea menu, "Suzanne's Deviled-Egg Sandwich". The tea menu has several options: Classic, with a seasonal mocktail, or with different champagnes. I opted for the Classic experience, because the mocktail had mocha, not my fave. Server Lluvia was clearly a Dahlia veteran; she offered a tea-smelling of all the teas that interested me as well as crowd favourites. I ultimately chose one of these faves, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which had passionfruit and vanilla. I declined milk/cream, but did get lemon. There were rock sugar sticks on the table. It seems the selection of tea sandwiches and sweet treats changes every so often, although the vanilla bean scone, dried currant scone, Devonshire cream and apricot orange jam seem like constants. The sandwich selection at my visit were: cucumber, crab/creme fraiche, beet hummus on pita, smoked salmon and Suzanne's deviled egg. All were delish, the beet, crab and deviled egg especially. The sweet treats were: orange fig butter cookie, spiced apple brown butter crumble, cranberry frangipane hand pie, chocolate mocha macaron, pumpkin madeleine, plus the 2 scones. All were excellent. There were no leftovers. A bit pricey, but a relaxing and lovely experience. The room was not crowded when I visited, adding to the calmness of my visit.
