Mixville: My secret garden

Ever since the first time I visited New York, I was dissatisfied with the ambiance of the bars of Los Angeles. Everything was overdone and gaudy, obviously trying too hard to get attention from B~D list celebrities.

This dissatisfaction was dissolved when i came upon Mixville in Silverlake.
Ajoined with the Edendale Grill, Mixville is a converted firetruck bay dating back to 1927. The beautiful skylight and 38 foot mahogany bar adds the old Hollywood charm in its most natural form. There are also 2 outdoor patio seating where you can drink, smoke, and discuss the meaning of life.
If that's not enough, step into the photo booth for a cozy shot with your friend or lover...

The cocktails are mixed with skill, and the bartenders are charming. The crowd is a nice mature mix of late-20's all the way to mid-50's, but all open to intelligent conversation. You can show up dressed to the nines or in your jeans and t-shirt... Everything just seems to fit here (unless you are a 21-year-old drink to get drunk and get laid type).
