The Love Song Bar — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Honestly, super small. No cash allowed! Ugh, old man here only carrying greenbacks, luckily my buddy paid for my drinks, embarrassing. No cash, no tip. They should think about that. Sorry, enough with the complaints, just there watching live music, dreamers, and supporting my buddy and his band Former Portrait. It is right next to a venue that has bigger bands play every once in a while. Other bars are nearby, but none open early, that is before 8:00 pm. The atmosphere is great with a crowd that is knowledgeable on music and friendly, you feel welcomed with these people! Great place to hang, if not small. Limited selection of beers with no stouts or porters. Had to go with an IPA. They get a five for vibe, community, and allowing performers to...

One night I wandered in and ended up seeing a Japanese rapper from the underground Tokyo hip hop scene who I had never heard of before, but it was so much fun and the crowd was super into it and dancing their butts off. It feels like they really care about bringing a unique flavor and variety to the nightlife scene here. Cocktails are also delish (I always order the Lastword), staff is friendly, crowd is relatively unpretentious. Def one of my go-to spots in LA for new music...
