Known forlive musicdowntown LALittle Tokyohappy hour
A no-frills dive bar on the Little Tokyo–Skid Row border with live music, solid food, and strong drinks in a nostalgic 90s atmosphere. The kitchen staff are genuinely friendly, happy hour is fantastic, and there's both indoor booth seating and outdoor patio space. Note the location requires some street smarts getting there, though the gated paid parking lot with an attendant helps.
