Not sure why I've ignored this little bar less than 2 blocks from my home for so long.
Maybe it's because I used to like the trashy motel bar it used to be, or because it doesn't have a real name.
The Bar (yes, that's what it's called) was all the rage amongst hipsters when it made its transformation from its former dingy motel dive.
But time has passed, and this place is fit to be a nice, cozy local for all us Hollywood folk.
Located at Sunset and Bronson, marked only by a red neon "Cocktails" sign and arrow, the super dark and cozy room was rather mellow for a Saturday night.
In fact, it was pretty bare until 11:30pm.
The drinks are not cheap, but made well without hassle or long wait.
The hipster crowd was still dominant, but not so much that the striped shirts and shaggy hair hurts your eyes.
Overall a well groomed crowd, but not a very social bunch either.
Most came in groups and stuck with them.
I'll come back here on a night I want to have a conversation only with the person I went there with, and I'm in no mood to walk far or drive.
One piece of advice: If you meet a guy/girl there, make sure you say bye to them outside where there's more light... Everyone looks fantastic in the dark!

Everything Emi says here is true. I'd also add that it can be a huge taco fest...not too many guys here. Also, the median age seems to be in the early twenties. So all you guys looking to pick up a pretty young thing, go to The Bar.
It's a great neighborhood bar though. And the bouncer is super-cute (yes, that's outside the bar in the light, not in the dim inside lighting).
