    The Powder Room
    Tim C.

    11/02/2018 I swear there was a place called Beauty Bar somewhere around here. It was fun being part of a big group that gathered here. Huge scavenger hunt getting strangers to do stranger things on Hollywood Blvd. then come back and drink some more. The bartenders here are awesome. They dance on top of the bar and back counter area on their favorite songs. I thought it was music videos but it's just random TV shows. When you order shots, it's measured with a heavy hand. That's how you will see lots of glass and bottles breaking on the table and floors. The doorman was awesome too. He took care of the dangerous stuff. The dangerous stuff was the broken glass more than just the front door action. I think we all had a great time shutting it all down after last call.

    Beautiful display of bottles

    I was here on NYE and I'm so happy I came! Location: The Powder Room is located on Cahuenga Blvd in between Hollywood Blvd and Selma. It really is an amazing location for a restaurant/lounge/bar because there are so many other venues literally walking distance that you can bar hop without ever having to call for a cab/Uber. Parking: I'm really lucky when it comes to street parking. I always manage to find parking on the street 30 seconds away from the venue. If that's not your case don't worry about it! There is plenty of street parking that line Selma, Hollywood Blvd and other adjacent streets. Warning though...there is no parking allowed on Cahuenga from 8pm- 3am which SUCKS. There is also plenty of lot parking spots littered all over the place. Prices usually are $10 flat rate. The Powder Room: What I love about the Powder Room is the decor. It's a very small bar/lounge that isn't made to handle hordes of people but that's part of it's appeal for me. The lighting is very Miami Vice ish...with the blue and pink neon lighting on the backsplash of the bar. I love the eclectic mix of mirrors that adorn the opposite side of the wall...so chaotic and yet they all go together. For most of the night granted I stuck with champagne so I'm unable to tell you all about the Powder Room's famed spiked milkshakes but I can tell you about their delicious food! I ended up having the slides 2x of the Seared Ahi which was amazing and 1 of the Veggie Slider. I devoured it so quickly that I completely forgot I should of taken a picture until I was finished eating. I along with my friend shared a large basket of Sweet Potato Fries and I have never in my life eaten fries the way I did that night. It was just the right amount of sweet with the chipotle mayo dipping sauce and ketchup!? Say NO MORE. Our bartender was Jay and she was hands down one of the best bartenders I have ever encountered here in LA. If you do come you should definitely hope she will wait on you because she is amazing. I definitely recommend you visit the Powder Room! 1 out of 100 (Yellp 2015 Challenge)

    A cozy, intimate and inherently hip bar adjacent to Saint Felix, the Powder Room is the type of place you'd love to stumble into with a small group of close friends. The pink sheen and endless loop of 60's/70's/80's b-videos lends an atmosphere of romantic fun, while not pouring on schmaltz. It's tiny - maybe capacity of 35? - and features a wrap-around bar as well as a cute booth area with two-top circular tables. The drinks are mixologist-created and are hit and miss, but they don't shy on the alcohol and serve each beverage with a smile. I really had a good time at the Powder Room and were it not in Hollywood, would consider it one of the best bars in all of Los Angeles.

    This is such a cool bar - it's beautiful inside! There's plenty of seating, but if it gets packed you're out of luck :) The bartender was really knowledgeable and made our drinks very well. The one thing I would encourage is to maybe add a little more light to the menu on the wall - it's a little difficult to read! There were fun games like jenga and connect 4 to play as well - a cute addition.

    This bar is the real deal. They aren't fooling around with their signature cocktails which are meticulously made with the best ingredients by their experienced bartender. It's nice to come to a bar in Hollywood that serves some seriously good drinks. I started with their Winchester, a Buffalo Trace Whiskey, Amaro Nonino liquor and spiced chocolate bitters. It was a strong but complex and well balanced drink And I had their One Night cocktail with rye whiskey, thai chili honey, cherry syrup, egg whites and lime juice. It was creamy, velvety, sweet/sour and complex. Awesome. Go check them out and have yourself a classy cocktail.

    Pretty decor

I was instantly so glad we chose this spot to celebrate our anniversary because it was the perfect setting for a romantic date night. Now, let's talk about the food! Everything we ordered was delicious, with the exception of the Korean aguachiles, which we probably could've skipped. We also tried the bluefin bibimbap, oysters, and the oh-so-tender short rib that practically melted in our mouths. But the most unforgettable dish was also the simplest: the Korean fried chicken. It wasn't necessarily something out of the ordinary, but it sure tasted like it. The perfect crisp, flavor, and seasoning had us eating every last piece right down to the bone. Our server also made the experience even better. She gave us some of the best recommendations and were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. We absolutely loved this restaurant and are already planning our next visit!

    The Lucky Tiki in Highland Park is the sister location of the original Lucky Tiki in West…read moreHollywood. This spot opened about a year ago, and has a cool speakeasy style entrance at the Highland Park Bowl bowling alley. It is a small space, and I would highly recommend making a reservation on Resy. You have 90 minutes to drink and dine. I parked behind the bowling alley where there is a medium sized pay parking lot. Park in a space, remember your space number painted on the ground, and go to the pay station at the end of the lot. I found the parking machine to be extremely finicky as did other people. After ten minutes of failure, I ended up moving my car to another space, and then it worked. This has nothing to do with the Lucky Tiki, but FYI if you park there. We walked around to the front of the bowling alley, and checked in. Seating options include at the bar, tiki hut booths, and high top tables. The décor inside is a tiki lovers paradise. The room has a high ceiling with many tiki lamps, floats, puffer fish, tiki huts, thatch, ropes, barrels, netting, carvings, a hanging canoe, and a large tiki right in the middle of the space. In addition to the great décor, when you order certain drinks, special effects are triggered. There was also great tiki music playing all evening. We sat at the bar since we always enjoy talking to the bartenders. We actually ran into Skipper Christian in the parking lot on the way in, and he ended up being our main bartender, with Nick and Jo also working behind the bar. We put in a food order right away. The chicken potstickers ($12) came with five tasty bites, and the garlic teriyaki dipping sauce was good. We also had the giant pretzel ($16) which comes with mustard, beer cheese, and ranch sauces. This was excellent, and the perfect filling snack before a bunch of drinks. My first drink was the Siren's Song (Flor de Cana Eco rum, lemon juice, cassis, Oloroso sherry, apricot foam topper, $19). This drink is served in a great mermaid with skull mug and triggers special sound effects and bubbles fill the air. Those bubbles on top of the drink had a great light citrusy apricot flavor, probably the best flavored bubbles I've ever had. The drink itself was very good and balanced with some complexity. She wasn't sure what to order at first, and Christian asked her what flavors she liked. He ended up making a spin on a Tradewinds with some mango and pineapple to go along with the apricot and coconut. It was nicely balanced and not too sweet, even with all that fruit in there. My second drink was the Sun of Suns (Tierra de Acre mezcal, coconut cream, Giffard mango liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice, $17). This was coconut and pineapple forward with some good smokiness in the background. Her second drink was the Whatever Floats Your Boat (Ford's gin, lemon juice, velvet falernum, orgeat, passion fruit syrup, guava soda, topped with hazelnut passion fruit foam, $19). It is served in a cool boat mug, and triggers thunder sound effects and lighted mechanical Polynesian tiki characters paddling a canoe over the bar. This was another good balanced drink. It was a little gin forward and the passion fruit popped out, maybe from being both in the drink and the foam top. That creamy hazelnut passion fruit form on top is delicious. I'd happily have a glass of that on its own. We were still a little hungry so we ordered the Hawaiian pizza (marinara, diced pepperoni, red onion, pineapple chunks, hot capicola ham, $16). It was another good tasting, perfectly sized snack, and the crust was light and airy. We were already fifteen minutes over our time limit, but we got the green light to stay longer to order a third drink to share. We ordered the Tiki Diablo (Flor de Cana Eco rum, Worthy Park 109 rum, Alma Tepecha chile liqueur, orange juice, lime juice, mango syrup, guava soda, $24). This drink serves two people, is served in a cool volcano bowl with glowing red lava around it, and comes with a fire show. Unfortunately, right after it was served, the host came over and said we were over our time and had to leave shortly. Christian made up for it by giving us two tall pours to go enjoy in the bowling alley bar area which was fine. We were happy we got some extra time inside. The drink was also very good, balanced with a little complexity. We had a great time. There is so much great décor to look at. The drinks and food were very good, and some of the the drink presentations and special effects were the icing on the cake. All of the bartenders were very friendly and a lot of fun. We purchased up a few zombie glasses to take home as a souvenir. I'd definitely recommend visiting the Lucky Tiki in Highland Park!

We walk in and the place is beautifully done inside! Chill ambiance, nice materials, cool tile and artwork . We chose a booth, but there were plenty of seating options on a Sunday earlyish evening. The menu? Whoa! Wtf in a great way!!!! They explain the science behind how they create every elixir aaaand how they are so sustainable! #1 sustainable bar in North America and apparently #24 of top 50 bars in North America! We tried the: Fu Gwaa Falsetto: SO cool! They used a bitter melon, which is hard to include in things, and made a dope drink! The sprinkles on top were my fave and tied the drink together. Koji Killer: dessert drink for sure, but I kinda needed a second one delicious! Barcelonette: refreshing, light, lovely P Town Boxing Club: a little disappointed that I couldn't taste the pandan as much, didn't get as much of a distinct flavor Hops Don't Lie: canned, refreshing, my partner like it! The servers/bartenders were so cool and knowledgeable about the menu, they even brought us samples and let us know if we didn't like something they'd replace it! And did! Will definitely be back to try more concoctions

We decided to get a drink to celebrate Father's Day, only to strike out at the first two bars we tried--I guess a lot of places are closed at 9:30 on a Sunday. This is how we ended up at Thunderbolt, a buzzy bar in Echo Park, just far enough away that we'd never made our way over. I loved it immediately. Thunderbolt has the friendly, comfortable atmosphere of a neighborhood bar and the hip aesthetic and high-level cocktails of a millennial boozer destination. (Not that young people can't or shouldn't hang out here, but it seems especially geared toward people like us, who drank at Walker Inn a decade ago.) We ended up sitting next to a guy who regularly drives up from Palos Verdes. I guess the place gets pretty busy, but it was ideal on a Sunday night. Happening but not crowded, with just enough space at the bar for us to grab two seats together. The bartender was great, super helpful and welcoming. He also made excellent drinks. Thunderbolt is one of those bars with an encyclopedic illustrated book for a menu. Not a long menu, just a detailed one, with a lot of information available about each drink. We got a Liquid Picnic and a Barcelonnette--just one round to close out the weekend. Both were delicious. The Liquid Picnic was a smooth, savory gin martini made with London dry gin, tomato, citron, vermouth, rosemary, and black pepper. I learned from the book that it used clarified tomato water. (There was also further reading about the clarification process.) The Barcelonnette was a mezcal sour with Suze, passionfruit, and lime, the foam made without egg white through some geeky mixologist process. Thunderbolt is not our neighborhood bar, but we plan to go back when we can to check out the rest of the menu. It's a wonderful place, well worth a jaunt on the freeway.
