HMS Bounty Restaurant-Bar (The)

Best Dive Bar in Los Angeles

by DrivThruBandit10

I found this place on Citysearch and went to check it out. I had no idea what was in store but it was definitely well worth it. The staff was very personable and the scene was great. You don't have to be a local to come check it out. The bartender introduced herself and called me by name all night. She also recommended the sweet potato fries which were to die far. The music selection was also an additional plus. All the locals and people inside the bar were super friendly and it is a great place to come even if you are drinking solo. Check it out!!!!

Great local spot for drinks and food

by llyonize

I love going to the bounty, the food is great, the drinks are great and so is the staff. I always enjoy myself when I am there, If you sit at the bar you will always be entertained by the regulars who are very welcoming. They have great sandwiches and burgers, I have seen some of the other dishes that look great too, fish and chips, pork chops and a special of the day. As they are near my office I go quite often, but they are a great spot if you are going to the Wiltern for a show, you can grab a quick drink and bite before you go.

favorite neighborhood joint

by TuLipBlosSom

Now THIS is a cool joint, everybody. HMS bounty has been around for a while, and its certainly earned good reviews. I like the weird quality - the decorations are really fun. The drinks are a tad strong, and the prices are of course a little high, but I love this place! Of course, it is within walking distance to my homne.

Strong drinks

by willford

We enjoy this dive. It is hard to find parking on

weekends so drive with friends. The drinks are strong.

Note the brass signs on the booths of former patrons.

The bathrooms are far away and thru a door into the hotel area. One of the females in our group was followed by some creep so watch your back. We

had a birthday party here a few weeks ago and it

was great. Fun place for a group.

• Pros: Good grilled swiss cheese sandwich..
• Cons: Parking and bathroom

Old Hollywood Revisited

by sbelgard

Started going to the Bounty when I first moved to LA. There was some sort of fascination everytime I passed that Food & Grog sign. What the hell was that? The first time I ventured there, my old college roommate and I sat at the Jack Webb table with the high back red booth. Each time was a different table with a different celebs name on the gold plaque on the wall. Always enjoyed having Kathy serve us (she appeared in "Pillow Talk"), although she's since retired. The place became a second home, so much so that I had my rehearsal dinner there. If you want old Hollywood at old Hollywood prices....the Bounty is da place for you. Keep the business going...it'll be a shame if it goes like the Derby, Chasen's, the Ambassador and others.
