HOLLYWOOD. Providing an antidote to LA’s glut of overly swanky cocktail bars, The Bar is refreshingly low-key and, consequently, attracts a mixed clientele who come for rock tunes and strong mixed drinks. Most weeknights, DJs spin a mix, so grab a seat and enjoy the tunes. As the evening gets later, the crowd is increasingly well-dressed, so show up on the early side for a more casual vibe. A thoughtful perk for women: convenient purse hooks underneath the bar. Note: The bar is marked only with its address on an awning.
