Bar Flores — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Truly horrible experience. Awful bouncer with a power trip kicked my friend out, who is a Type 1 diabetic, for having juice boxes in her purse? We came out to Echo Park and were especially excited to go back to Bar Flores but my friend was Unnecessarily throw out because the bouncer heard her complain that it was frustrating that he was being difficult about her bringing in her juice boxes.

She often needs juice boxes/sugar snacks incase her sugar drops (which is happens very easily when drinking!) This bouncer said he was also a diabetic and that he “knew she didn’t need the juice” ??? He ended up letting us in after we asked him to check with another staff member and he said it was fine. But then, this bounced followed her up the stairs, towered over her (she’s 5’1), cursed her out and then forced her to leave after over hearing her complain to our other friend about such a frustrating experience? He said she “disrespected him”?? Not sure if throwing out a 5’1 diabetic is part of the protect and serve job description of a bouncer but ok??? He escalated the situation so unnecessarily! We had a huge party and we’re so excited to come into Bar Flores (we had hyped it up bc we came before and loved it) and one bouncer completely ruined your rep. Sad. Do better honestly. My friend shouldn’t feel stigmatized and have to fight to bring in juice boxes that could potentially save her life ? So grateful literally every other bar we went to last night was welcoming and didn’t blink twice at her...

Monday is almost empty. Me and my friend we get there around 10pm main room is almost empty second floor almost empty and no heaters even the night was Cain like cold. Service is really good they know how to make your drinks. We never try the food but from far away smell taste. Drinks about $17.00 to $19.00 cocktails but regular juice or soda $2.00 to $4.00 each. Some others bars cocktails is around $13.00 maximum example like barcade in york blvd. Remember even if you buy any drink you give a tip so if you buy for $17 to $19 plus tip around $20 to $21 for any alcohol drink in bar flores. Atmosphere is good is mix place is straight and gay specially the busy nights. You spend a good night there peaceful no drama no fights. We left almost 12am and the place was almost empty. Music not loud so you can have a good conversation inside in the main room and outside in the terrace. Music is mix one latin song any type of music and the other one is in English the any type of music. I think if this place Lower any drink here even on the not busy days I can be more busy. Because the days when is busy prices are the same when they have a dj playing music not like Monday when music was playing from a radio with out commercials or advertising. That place have elevator for only main room. No parking lot you need to found parking lot in the street but in busy nights parking lot is...

SCAM ALERT – Worst Bar Experience Ever!

I had the absolute worst experience at this bar, and I urge everyone to stay far away!

I arrived at 1:30 AM and ordered four drinks. Before paying, I specifically asked if we would have enough time to finish them and if we were allowed to drink them before leaving. The staff assured us YES, so we placed our order and paid full price for our drinks.

We sat down, started enjoying our drinks, and just 15 minutes later, a security guard approached us and told us we had to leave. Without any explanation or warning, he took our drinks and threw them away!

When I went to the manager to demand either a refund or at least a cup to go (even though the drinks were already tossed out), he suddenly made up a complete LIE, claiming we were vaping inside the bar. This is 100% FALSE – we never vaped, we didn’t even have a vape with us. This was nothing but an excuse to kick us out after taking our money.

This place is a SCAM, and their staff is dishonest and manipulative. They trick customers into paying, only to steal their drinks and refuse refunds. If you don’t want to get ripped off and disrespected, DO NOT GO HERE! Absolute garbage...
