What People Are Saying About R-Bar
The Editor
Andrew Rosenblum
Citysearch
In Short – Under a finely hammered tin ceiling and amid warmly glowing blue and orange lamps, the darkness creates an ideal setting for the baby hipsters and their brethren who recall the glory days of Lucky Seven and Three of Clubs. The multitude of comfortable wooded booths offer plenty of nooks for a secluded drink. A jukebox full of indie rock classics provides the soundtrack, and a bar menu of American fare like burgers and wings helps patrons soak up the alcohol.

FYI- THE HOURS ON THIS SITE ARE WRONG! R bar opens at 6p M-F and at 7 on Sat., closed on Sundays! The password is cool, man; it's not hard to find and in a bit of a gritty neighborhood, i'm more than happy that R bar wants us to be safe and have a good time! I was so surprised when i walked in off the street; dark wood and great lighting-- it's a great little jewel in Ktown! Go see for yourself and you'll know what i mean. The food is great bar food and the tenders are awesome and fun! A GREAT place for a party and i know they have film shoots and private events here for all you industry peeps. It can be a little dark but i like a dark bar. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and you don't feel like you're in "a scene" at all- if you prefer a real bar, skip Hwood and come here! R is not a club or a meat market and i've met some very cool people here, not to mention a star or two! One of my absolute faves in LA and central to silver lake, echo park, downtown, miracle mile, hwood and fairfax district. I will be a regular and highly recommend to all who know their bar culture!!! Finally!
- Pros: super cool atmosphere, no pretenses, valet
- Cons: sometimes too dark, can get loud

Douche Bar
by hipstersrgay at Citysearch
Hipsters are the new frat boy/ sorority girls. Just the term has been played out 5 years ago and it's become a cookie cutter look to fit cookie cutter personality. It s*cks that I got dragged here and it turned out exactly as douchey as I expected. First there are these matted down hair guys standing in front and then the unexpected surprise, the doorman was a Grade A tough guy short man syndrome Australian doosh bag. Then you go inside and it's a regular douche-fest. Don't get me wrong, I don't discriminate as long as the chick is cute but I could never respect a girl who hangs out in a place like this. Don't expect breakfast you hipster groupie. I recommend this place to all the people who like to pretend to be cool but need to be told how to have a style of their own.
- Cons: Lame

This is seriously my favorite bar in Los Angeles. You really do need the password tho, unless you're like super cute. ( I was forced to bribe some hipsters with cigs)
The Details on R-Bar

Happy hour runs weekdays from 5pm to 8pm, and the bar offers discounts on top-shelf cocktails, bourbons and scotches, plus reasonably priced domestic and imported beer and wine.
Know Before You Go:
You'll need to supply a password to get in--it's been "yo-ho-ho" forever, but you might want to call beforehand to double-check.
Parking:
Some days you'll have to scour the neighborhood for street spots, but from Wednesday through Saturday after 9pm, there's a valet in front.
