Franchesca Bass
5 months agoOne of my favorite spots! Amazing food, drinks, and all around atmosphere. If you want a guaranteed good time, this is the place.

3 years agoI came across R bar randomly when I was visiting Los Angeles. It is a cozy bar that is great for a karaoke night with friends or even if you want to catch up with friends comfortably in a corner. They serve some delicious cocktails, I remember having more than one of a particular drink but I can't remember the name. It may be one of the drinks on their special cocktails menu.

9 years agoCozy and well decorated period-styled speakeasy bar. Was there on a Saturday night but there was no password required as expected. Was a live DJ playing an eclectic selection of old music which was in keeping with the theme. Great menu and happy hour specials. Great selection of food and drinks, and suprisingly very good value. Booths are cozy and private, and floor staff are available to serve at the booth spaces. Great place for intimate meetings or groups of friends alike.

5 months agoThis review is long over due, I came in here with some friends for playoff football !! On top of the football there was also some karaoke going on, it was popping to say the least !! Despite the place being pretty busy, Service from the security to the bar tenders was very accommodating, and service was damn efficient !! On top of that I got some food on a whim, I had the chicken club that exceeded all expectations !! All round it was a very successful outing, will definitely be coming back !! Good stuff R Bar !!

5 months agoAnytime I’m in town, I make a point to stop by R Bar—it’s the perfect place to kick back and relax for a while. It’s unpretentious, comfortable, and the food is always on point. The staff genuinely takes the time to chat and make you feel welcome, which makes all the difference. Honestly, it’s the kind of warm, friendly neighborhood spot I wish I had closer to home. Easily 5 stars+!

4 months agoGreat food. I ordered the chicken blt and chips and salsa. The salsa wasn't hot enough but ooh well it was good enough. Andrew the bartender was amazing. The karoke was nice. My only problem is the karoke host did not at any time wipe down any mics after countless people used it and with the drinks flowing and people having a good time like me that made me nervous. I wanted so bad to get up there and sing.

7 months agoThis place was very cozy great seating great red lighting never been to this BAR until tonight. I met up with someone on POF and my experience was horrible the man on POF was so disrespectful then came to find out that he is a regular at this Bar. Horrible person and as for the BAR they will close early not at 2AM like all other BARS in California that is false advertisement operating BARS in California are open & operating until 2 AM So be prepared when they say they close later then don't. The staff was polite but very demanding. I didn't feel safe allowing a man on POF to order my drink without me there to see but I kept a eye out since this is a first time visit to this BAR. I will come back again definitely but under different circumstances not with a man that is insulting disrespectful using POF to mock me & BASH ON ME discrimination on me I will also let POF know about him and his behavior. I did go out to meet this person to bring clarification understanding communication direct to him in a polite way so he isn't fabrication on his own story insinuating with insumption of whatever thoughts he has in his own brain.

5 months agoI had a ball here last night. The pleasant bouncer, the DJ doing the karaoke 🎤, the efficient bar staff (Mylie Cyrus) and the eclectic bunch of people there looking to drink, enjoy themselves and link up with others out to do the same all came together to produce a great night's craic. There is food there but we didn't have any just reasonably priced beers and spirits.... The decor is dive bar dark but that just adds to the atmosphere that created a lot of fun. I'll go again next time I'm in LA

7 months agoI really enjoyed my visit! The dim lighting created a cozy, relaxed atmosphere, and everyone there was friendly and welcoming. The happy hour deals are fantastic—$7 for a Trumer Pilsner is a steal. The overall vibe of the place is fun and laid-back, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the evening. It’s definitely the kind of spot I’d come back to, whether for drinks with friends or just to soak in the atmosphere. A solid recommendation for anyone looking for good drinks, good people, and a great time!
