Editorial Review for Mixville – by Tara de Lis
The Scene
Sharing a space with Edendale Grill, Mixville resides in what was once the truck bay of an old fire station. As such, ceilings are high and doors wide, but mahogany wood accents and soft lighting ensure a warm and welcoming experience. Behind the bar, lounging couples and small groups of friends gather on plush sofas in the small, parlor-like area. Smokers converge on the candlelit outdoor patio. By looks alone, this stylish lounge could be mistaken for an after-work spot for suits and squares, but just because it's swankier than most Silver Lake hangs doesn't mean it's snooty.
The Draw
Elements of the typical young and hip Silver Lake crowd are apparent throughout the bar, but in general the vibe and dress are more conservative--think label-conscious 30-somethings alongside their artsy, beret-wearing aunts and uncles.

This place is a hidden gem. I live not too far away and a friend asked me to meet her there. "Mixville"? I was like, what kind of name is that? It sounded creepy but when I saw the place I was like "oh yeah, I get it." It's kind of a random place that's kind of cool. The "Mix" part has to do with an old movie star, not "drop your keys in the bowl at the end of the bar." (Though there's a pretty cute crowd...). We got there at 7 because we were meeting friends later. Well, of course, they called and we told them to meet us there, and four hours and some margaritas later, that's where we stayed. The crowd was pretty fluid and people were going outside to the back garden and using this old photobooth. The vaiet guys were super sweet, the bartenders were pros. Waitress hotties. The best thing by far -- the freakin' burgers. Sorry to have "food" outrank "people" but we were starving and they were GOOD. Going back.
Pros: chill, cuties, outside spaces, photobooth, valet, Burgers
Cons: needs better music

This is one of my very favorite spots in LA. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, I love the tin ceiling and dark wood, and the crowd is so diverse and chill. The old school drink menu (think Manhattans and gimlets) makes you feel like you've arrived at a classy joint. As for the food- don't even get me started on the BLT Salad. Amazing. I could eat it every day. The only area where this place falls short is the bartenders. Holy attitudes. One was so busy (with a non crowded bar) that when we ordered a bottle of wine he slammed the glasses down, sloppily opened the bottle, and as an afterthought he filled each glass to the very top with wine and walked away. Another night the bartender threw my tab at me and said "I'm heading out, so I'm gonna close you out". This was hours before the bar closed, it was just the end of his shift! Asking if we wanted another round wouldn't have hurt his tip. As much as I love the atmosphere at this bar I could easily fall in love with another place that doesn't supply obnoxious bartenders with their booze.
Pros: Great music, chill vibe
Cons: Bartenders.
