The Escondite

I ventured to this bar one Saturday night, drawn by the live streaming of the LA Derby Dolls bout, despite having no prior knowledge of its existence. Nestled away from the bustling nightspots of Little Tokyo and the Arts District, this establishment provides a unique, secluded atmosphere. What sets it apart is the affordability; the prices here are notably more reasonable than those of your typical Los Angeles bar. Upon my arrival, the bar was fairly empty, but the atmosphere rapidly came alive. The music through the bar speakers the exuded a classic rock vibe, adding to the ambiance. As for the interior decor, it defies a simple description, embracing an eclectic style that truly sets it apart.

Really enjoy coming here. It's typically chill, drinks are reasonable, great live music, available parking and has a great view. It's not easy to find a bar that offers all these things in DTLA. So far so good 👍.

Dive bar, done right. The music was great mix of classic and modern rock with a touch of punk. Played at a level that you could still have an intimate conversation without raising one’s voice. The food was terrific, and the prices were reasonable especially for downtown.
