4++ fun bar/cocktail lounge and the Silverlake/Echo Park area. I didn't eat here, although the food looks good from some of the other pics posted here. My friends and I came here for some cocktails after having dinner down the street at another restaurant. We were able to get a seat right at the bar. We were served pretty much immediately, but I wanted to look over the cocktails before I made up my mind. I ended up getting a Naoshima Dream which was really refreshing.... and fun to look at. This is the type of place that if I were younger and was living back in this area, it would be a great spot to go to frequently. There's a DJ or at least someone that plays music on Saturday nights (the one night I've been here) and they definitely were playing some crowd pleasers as evidenced by group of folks singing along and dancing. Great drinks and great energy. Now I'm really curious how the food is here.

Really cute little bar with bites. The owner was really nice and looked after us. Great sense of humor. Super enjoyed a couple of cocktails during happy hour, some humus and roasted carrots. The lounge area was warm and cozy. The decor was nice. The bathroom had some graffiti in it, savages. Prices were really reasonable. Nice spot to enjoy some space.

Great place for Happy hour! If you are vegetarian or vegan, lots of great options. Staff is friendly, tasty appetizers with a great selection of drinks. It's worth the getting to it if you drive. Parking is terrible so plan ahead and don't give up.

I went to an event here on Sunday called Dana's Night and I had so much fun! The venue is so cute inside and the staff was so so sweet and welcoming :) Drinks were amazing too! They have an outdoor patio area as well which was nice. Would love to come back!!

I enjoyed stopping in before the Dodger game. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The service was friendly and the establishment was clean (especially the restroom). Nice gem we plan to visit again soon.

Stopped in for a few hours before a concert at the Echo Plex and had an amazing time! The vibes were immaculate and the food was spectacular. No misses, but please do yourself a favor and order the eggplant if it's on the menu! Staff were very friendly and attentive. As the night progressed, they turned the lighting down to move things from feeling day-time cozy work to evening intimacy. An easy go-to if you're in the Echo Park area!

Cool spot for drinks before a Dodgers game. Busy at the bar but the bartender was nice. They have a decent happy hour menu. Ordered a drink from the happy hour - lemon drop shooter and the age of aquarius cocktail. Drinks were strong. Their spiced popcorn was ehhh - too much spice in certain spots. But overalll a cool spot!

I loved the vibe inside the bar. There is a small outdoor patio, but inside is where it's at. Whether you are at one of the comfy couches or sitting at the bar. They have a nice list of drinks and also do offer food. The bartender that was had was very friendly and made a show of making our drinks which was cool. My boyfriend had a drink that had some rosemary in it and the last touch was setting the rosemary on fire to add some nose to the drink. We didn't get any food here because we had a reservation for a nearby restaurant and were killing time, but I definitely think I'll be back!

Nice place to unwind and have a drink. Their drinks were more on the sour side for my liking but they were refreshing for the LA summer heat. I did enjoy that they have 3 mocktails on their menu. The bartender and server were very attentive even while there were quite a few guests. Definitely a place I would revisit with some friends.

Parking sucks ! Like it's non existent & a fantasy ;( It's bright inside. Not a dark dive bar at all. Yummy delicious artisanal drinks. Not cheap , like $15 or so. But super duper creative & original & high quality ingredients. Courteous professional staff, clean interior & restroom. I asked for something to tone down the spiciness in my popcorn & bought me stuff off the menu ;) This place could be both for a first date and/or an after work meeting . Will definitely return ;)
