Eric G.: Great place! Small and need more ventilation, however, food was great and pot pie even better!

Dive Bar · Downtown Los Angeles · 21 tips and reviews
Thirsty James: Usually I brag about the beer (Guinness on tap $5 all day), but did you know they have chili from the Nickel Diner? Best $5 spent.
Thirsty James: FYI - best of the dive bars, this one is rich in history. If its good enough for Charles Bukowski - a regular, it's good enough for me!
Jeremy Hansen: One of the nicer bars in downtown. Dress code strictly enforced. Mess with drugs, (any type), go to jail! You are on camera. No outside food. Keep your house clean.
