    Very chill on a weeknight
    Frank M.

    Great vibes for a chill evening with friends. The drinks were thoughtful and delicious. We tried most of them, no complaints. Friendly staff and a lovely food menu. Not too loud, good for conversation. Enter through the hotel lobby.

    Since we didn't get food, here is a photo from the show

    Let me tell you about this place. We had tickets to Moulin Rouge at the Pantages and they advertised a 3 course meal for $65 and get you out in time for your show. WELL, I have NEVER had this level of terrible service. The food was ordered and never came out. After multiple complaints to the manager, we got salads and then had to cancel the rest of the order to be able to make it to the theater on time. THE WORST was that the manager was rude and unapologetic for the issues we were having and made 0 attempts to even get the food out faster. You would think that it was really crowded but fact was that it was empty and now I know why. AVOID THIS PLACE AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!

    Valet and a block away from Pantages makes this a great spot to grab a bite and drink before the show. Bartenders are welcoming and attentive. You can order off the bar menu or take your drink to Jane Q. Great view of surrounding buildings.

    Located inside the Kimpton Everly Hotel. Cool LA vibe overlooking the downtown with full view floor to ceiling windows. Couches to lounge in spaced spaciously. Glass room partitioned within the bar lined with low level cushioned couches. A pool table for a relaxing games between sips. Drinks ~ Vegas like pricing for small pours. The concoctions need work. Bartenders ~ they all need retraining. Very slow and take their leisurely time to tend the guests. Watch them make drinks and it will put you to sleep. The cool vibe is a large living room with ample lounging. Service was the sour taste in the drinks.

    Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey

    I stayed at this Kimpton Hotel in LA for first time and as a loyal and fanatic of the brand, again...I was not disappointed. My only negative critique, was that I had wish there bar was open earlier in the afternoon. The bar opens at 5pm. The room then fills with hotel guests and some locals with a simple menu of pizzas and small bites and a very well prepared cocktail and spirits list. I had a very elegant time and ordered the pepperoni pizza with hot honey. Very well balanced and baked and a delicious crust.

    Gorgeous drinks, topped with extraordinarily staff. Lauren and Mallory helped me out today at the bar! It's such a wonderful treat coming here. They deserve recognition for their extraordinary efforts. Excellence is always here. Tiktok didn't make me buy it, this time it was yelp! Very therapeutic being surrounded by contemporary elements, such as the seatings, lighting, staff is amazingly talented!! They are so outstanding, because of their outstanding work, i am beyond thrilled to becoming a proud re accruing client!! My friends will definitely be accompanying me. Their drinks are pretty, tasty, so delightful to experience and so aesthetic. Do yourself a favor and come here!!!! They have spectacular selections. The combination of elements and quality here is worthwhile. I wish i knew about it sooner. Plenty of parking to avoid paying the valet. I am so happy every time i come here. The views are so beautiful, definitely very memorable. I didn't even know the kimpton existed, but when i started coming here i understood how amazing their brand is. Kimpton is my new favorite top places to spend my week and weekends here no matter the occasion. Beyond amazing!! The cocktails are refreshing and exquisite.

    Quite the selection of liquors

    Tucked inside the trendy and modern Everly Hotel, the Ever Bar is a bit of a gem. The bartenders are friendly, and they pour cocktails right. I had a local friend comment that his Old Fashioned was perfect, something that strangely seems a lost art in Hollywood these days. They have special themed drinks as well, such as drinks named for Oscar-nominated films. If you're an Everly guest, they offer a complimentary wine hour nightly from 5-6pm. During my stay I tried each of the three offerings (I stayed a whole week, before you get ideas), and there were no hidden Franzia boxes to be found. Outside of wine hour, the drinks are pricey, but it's to be expected for the location. It is an aesthetically interesting place. There are high ceilings, tons of natural light, and a huge display of liquor behind the bar. You have a wide variety of seating options, from cozy couches to stools at the bar. (Pro tip: There are power chargers under the bar for those of us who inevitably need to charge the phone.) On some evenings, they have live music. It can get crowded, and it definitely gets loud, but you can't hear a thing from the guest rooms, which is important if you're a hotel guest. If you're not, you can also get 3 hours of parking for $10 with validation. My understanding is that is a bargain price for the area, especially that close to the Pantages. There is a modest bar food menu, but I was disappointed to find there were no vegan options, nor does the restaurant on site offer anything vegan. That was a little surprising in LA, to be honest. I suppose we could say it's one hummus plate away from five stars at the end of the night.

    This is a bar and lounge at new Kimpton Everly hotel in Hollywood, we stayed at this hotel for a few days so we just hung out here for drinks mostly. This place is very open and spacious with lots of comfy seatings, also a pool table by the windows. The bar menu was very impressive, so many classic and creative seasonal cocktails, priced from $14-16 which was very reasonable in Hollywood. I tried espresso martini, lemon drop martini, nutty by nature which was a very strong and refreshing mezcal cocktail. Hubby and friends tried Vesper martini and old fashioned, they were all very strong and tasty. The evening free wine tasting attracted a lot of hotel guests, but we don't really like wines so we just skipped it. The limited food menu was good, we tried spicy tuna crispy rice and pretzel bread with dipping cheese, both were very yummy. The bartenders were very friendly and accommodating most of the time. There was a birthday party on Saturday night and DJ spinning, so the vibe was lively and people watching was fun too. This is a low key lounge most of the time, if you like creative cocktails and relaxing lounging you will definitely love this place! Ps. Validated parking for about $22.

    I should let you know that this review is for 'Miracle,' the Christmas bar that runs until 12/31. Miracle is a pop up at different bars across the country and the one in LA happens to be super close to where I live. So we decided to walk here for a drink on Saturday night. This place is decked out, in a good way. So many decorations you don't even know where to look! Miracle has a set drink menu but Ever Bar also had their own seasonal drink menu. I tried two of the Miracle drinks ($16 each) and they were both delicious and festive! Served in Christmas drinkware. This place was packed but it didn't feel crowded because of the layout. The service was quick and efficient as well. We did order the grilled cheese and tomato soup and it was OK. The bread was great but the mix of cheese was odd and not 100% melted. My boyfriend ordered the prime rib sandiwch and said that was great. I'm still giving this place five stars because it's a beautiful place with great cocktails and service! I want to go back once Miracle leaves and try some of their noraml menu items.

    A big NO for me. The service sucked, so much attitude for such a mediocre restaurant. I'd rather starve than come here again.

I had never heard of or been here before, but it seemed like a chill spot overall. It's a pretty big place with both outdoor seating and a split indoor layout, but everything was nice and comfortable.

The place has a really cool, laid-back vibe spacious, industrial style, and super inviting. It got busy, but the staff handled it well and were friendly the whole time. I don't drink, but my friends all grabbed beers and kept saying how good they were (they're definitely known for their craft beers). Everyone was happy, which says a lot! I just enjoyed the atmosphere and the energy of the crowd. There's plenty of seating, clean bathrooms (always important), and even a separate room with a stage, so it looks like they host live music and events too. Big plus: it feels like a great spot to hang out after a run or meet up with friends. I've also heard they often have food trucks, which makes it even better. Overall, great vibes, good service, and a fun place to unwind. Would definitely come back with the group!

    We accidentally discovered this gem while waiting for Sampa to open. We parked across the street…read moreand couldn't ignore the lively beats coming from the lot next door. Naturally, we followed the music... and wow, what a vibe! This place is such a vibe-y outdoor hangout spot. Super cute, super chill. The first thing you see? A full bar built into a refurbished 1954 Spartan Trailercoach and yes, it's as cool as it sounds, serving beer and craft cocktails. The music was bumpin', the energy was up, but it still had this cozy, intimate feel. Perfect combo. My boyfriend and I both got the Paloma and we snagged a spot in the back to catch the DJ doing his thing. Our table was a little wobbly and my cocktail tipped! Such a bummer but the bartender didn't miss a beat. She sent someone to clean it up immediately and replaced my drink with a fresh one. Didn't catch her name but shoutout to her for the amazing service! There was a big group nearby just vibing, laughing, and living their best life. The whole place felt like a spontaneous backyard party you never want to leave. So glad we wandered in this is definitely a new fave.
