What People Are Saying About Bar 107
Featured Review

In Short – An unassuming storefront entry gives way to a long bar area under 20-foot tiled ceilings with chandeliers, Mao-red walls and taxidermy deer heads. On crisscross plaid flooring, guests wander from the '50s-style jukebox to the deco-inspired bar amid a gothic collection of biblical art. Larger parties covet large bar-side booths close enough to yell in drink orders. Others opt for the smoking patio, or hang out next to the stage to take in weekly entertainment ranging from DJs to burlesque shows.
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- Snagging a spot can be a bit difficult on downtown streets, but there's public parking underneath Pershing Square for a flat rate after 5pm.
- When to Go:
- The bar features a Tuesday happy hour from 8pm to 10pm, with weekly drink specials.
- Where to Sit:
- Groups of five or more should call ahead with a credit card to reserve one of the larger booths for private parties and special events.

Great Bar Ruined by Management
by ChristieAnderson at Citysearch
I have had my past experiences with the owner of this bar, which included her screaming at my boyfriend in his face over something someone else did- and me getting kicked out. That is not my reason for disliking Bar 107. About a year ago, one of the security guards pushed a girlfriend of mine, and a guy we were with got upset and stuck up for her. The security guard pulled out mace and tazors- not cool. My friends are now BANNED for life from the bar we used to go to 3+ times a week. It's just a very dramatically run bar, when drinking should be fun. It should be bought by the 213 group. At least they know what they are doing.
- Pros: Cheap Beer, Fun Theme
- Cons: Owner Very Rude, Security Starts Fights

If you want a bar with character, this is one of them. My friend and I went bar hopping this past saturday and we had gone to 7th Grand, Broadway, the golden gopher and another one that i don't remember the name. I then asked a random guy on the street and recommended 107. And it was by far the funnest bar to go to. Its a casual atmosphere where no one is pretentious. If you want to put on slacks or a dress, this bar is really not for you. If you just want to have a good time, i definately recommed it. After this bar, we went on to redwood and the edison, but decided to finish off the night back at 107. I read that there was poor customer service, but my experience was great. Plus, alot of girls from the downtown lofts were there. and were down to earth.
- Pros: the bar's fun character. fun crowd.
- Cons: Parking, a little bit busy so you do have to get the bartenders attention.
I love it!

This place is great! The decor is humorous and lively. There are 3 different places to hang out, by the bar in booths, by the stage and photo booth or outside. Perfect place to go to when you dont wanna worry about a dress code and just want to be a social butterfly. Love it so much I celebrated my birthday there and I didnt hear one complaint from my friends (even those that prefer to go out to clubs).
- Pros: NO LINES or DRESS CODES!!!
- Cons: small bathroom
Worst crowd in the world

Skid row clientele, dirty streets, people who act like they've been let loose from prison hang here and make terrible noise outside.
- Pros: Easy to go somewhere else
- Cons: Noisy as hell

After reading other reviews, I felt like I need to write one. Im speaking for the people who ACTUALLY do frequent this hidden treasure in downtown. My girlfriends and I love Wednesday nights there because of the 'Bong, Gong show Kereoke show'. It great to see some American Idol wannabe get up there and get BOOED and GONGED! Because of this, there are always really good singers who show up for the prize Bong, its always a good show either way. Cinco De Mayo brings a great drink special: No pants= cheap drinks! I was a little confused when I saw so many people in there whitey-tighties, but I asked the bartender and he brought me up to speed.
This bar has it regulars, and of course a homeless neighbor wanders in from time to time, thats one of the many kwerks about going out downtown. I'd rather deal with that than Long lines, pretentious doormen, barbiedoll wannabe's and Loser nobodys dressed in Ed Hardy gear smelling like waaaay too much cologne which seem to any and everywhere in hollywood! Bartenders have always been friendly to us.. However I can say none of my friends go out DOWNTOWN with a HOLLYWOOD attitude. Bottom line if you come to this bar and act like you are somebody.. no one cares.
- Pros: Black velvet paintings, taxidermy animals, Photobooth and Wednesday nights
- Cons: People who go here expecting it to be something other than a DwnTwn DIVE BAR
