Los Angeles

Neon signs, stiff pours, and zero pretension

From a 1930s Hollywood classic beside the Pantages to pitch-black Los Feliz haunts that open at dawn, LA's dives are where the industry unwinds and the locals never left. Cheap drinks, killer jukeboxes, and free popcorn.

Frolic Room

The quintessential LA dive, open since the 1930s beside the Pantages, with a glowing neon sign, Hirschfeld mural, and stiff cheap pours. Tiny, dim, and gloriously unpretentious.
