Bar Jackalope stands out as the premier whisky lounge in downtown LA, a destination for bourbon enthusiasts and whisky lovers alike. Its intimate and inviting atmosphere is perfect for enjoying some of the finest spirits available.
One of the best parts of Bar Jackalope is Peter. Whether you’re joining one of his expertly run tastings or just chatting at the bar, Peter makes the experience memorable. His love of whiskey and expertise make every visit feel special. He also has one of the best staffs around!
Another reason Bar Jackalope shines is the direction Jeremy is taking the place. Jeremy has curated an impressive collection of rare and sought-after whiskey, yet managed to keep prices affordable. Adding to the charm is Jeremy's idea of a listening bar for records, which is very cool and reminiscent of small whisky bars in Japan. This means you can enjoy some truly exceptional whiskies without breaking the bank. The way Jeremy is steering the bar is genuinely exciting, promising even more fantastic finds and great deals in the future.
Bar Jackalope is where excellent whiskey and expert knowledge come together. With Peter and his crew behind the bar and Jeremy’s vision for an accessible yet extraordinary collection, the bar is definitely moving in an exciting direction. Cheers to the future of this premier...

Pedro who was our server wasn't the friendliest and was being snooty. Definitely not a good impression especially when you're new to the hood. Btw, what's up with the 5 star reviews here?! People who are reviewing this place has very little reviews and some just one? Strange!
Location: Inside Seven Grand. There's a door on the right side before the restroom. Press the button and...
