This is based off my personal experiences with bars in LA! I've separated it into two sections as you can see if you're someone who needs to eat while you drink!

With Food
I am a regular here since it opened, its hard to go to other bars knowing how fun this one is EVERY time i go. Any day of the week you go i can promise you a fun honkey-tonk time! Give it a chance and you wont be disappointed.
Desert 5 Spot
This 70's style speak easy type bar is SO fun! I will say it can get crowded but to really check out the beauty of this place, come a little earlier around 8 and get some amazing photos!
Good Times at Davey Wayne's
Another historical landmark in terms of rock ‘n’ roll history. I come here all the time to get a bite to eat and drink obviously. It's 2 stories and has SO much to look at, great spot for photos, I had my wedding photos/party here!
Rainbow Bar & Grill
The whiskey is super fun for my rock n roll lovers out there! Tons of 80's bands still play here and they have jam nights full of people who played in all your favorite iconic rock bands! Give their calendar a look.
Whisky a Go Go
If you love drag queens, I have the perfect place for you in West Hollywood! I have been to Drag Bingo and had an amazing time! The drinks are insane, definitely go for an event.
Hamburger Mary's West Hollywood – Eat, Drink, and Be... MARY!
This place is a super fun sports bar with outdoor seating and the food is to die for! They also serve food till midnight i think so i always hit this place after desert 5 spot for a quick bite. Get the steak bites or meatballs (seriously).
Elbow Room Bar | Los Angeles | Bar | Los Angeles | Elbow ...
My friends and I go here all the time for karaoke on Sundays! You may even see some Vanderpump Rules cast members there too!
The Belmont Los Angeles
This is a big influencer spot with good food and games!
Barney's Beanery-West Hollywood
If you love Tim Burton like myself then this is the place for you. I've been to Beetlehouse so many times and omg it's so worth it! It's more of a dinner experience with a show so get a reservation beforehand! You won't regret it.
Beetle House LA
This is on old townhouse turned saloon BUT the house wasn't originally built in Hollywood. It was built in Georgia, taken apart, moved to L.A.! It's an an antebellum Southern-themed joint with cocktails, burlesque and New Orleans-style food.
Sassafras Saloon
This place has food, champagne and wine, beer, and free arcade games!
Daddy Diamonds
I just went here for the first time the other day and WOW! The drinks were amazing and the food was to die for with a good price for what you're getting. Get the street tacos, you're welcome.
TU MADRE
Without Food
This place is KILLER. They have tons of events here and bands. If you love a dive bar then you'll love this place.
Bigfoot Lodge
The Karaoke and Trivia nights here are SO fun! My friend is a bartender there and they have games/dart boards as well! You won't regret coming here.
Surly Goat
This underground, circle style club is a lot of fun! Warning though: it IS underground so there is little to no service, smaller so can get crowded. If you're up for it, give it a try and get some photos!
Madame Siam
This bar is located inside the sunset marquis hotel and is such a vibe. I met my husband here and have frequented this spot for a bit. It’s smaller but the atmosphere is nice and they have a big smoking section that’s partially inside!
Bar 1200
I've been here a handful of times and it's so cool! It's hidden inside the Line Hotel in Koreatown. They have games and secret karaoke rooms you can rent out or you can do live band karaoke on Tuesdays! It's 80's themed and a great place to get pictu...
Break Room 86 - Los Angeles
a family-owned tropical drink bar. For 50 years the place has been known for its tiki drinks. With only 12 stools at the bar and a handful of tables against the wall, the bar isn’t huge. What it lacks in physical size, it makes up for in its menu siz...
