Known forDickelBrambletiniShotsWell drinks
Golden Gopher is an iconic DTLA dive bar known for strong drinks, friendly bartenders, and a great happy hour ($6, 3–8pm daily including weekends). The casual vibe mixes locals and tourists in a vintage space with an atrium seating area and pool tables. One real note: shot pours here are notably small (around 20ml), so manage expectations if that's your order.
