What People Are Saying About Burgundy Room

The Scene – Whiskey flows and punk rock blows throughout this grungy, crimson-tinted room. The only decoration for the long, narrow space comes in the form of rickety ceiling fans, mirrored walls and red Chinese lanterns. A rough-and-tumble, tattooed crowd and in-your-face tunes evoke a retro CBGB's vibe. It's too loud for small talk, the drinks are relatively cheap, so pull up to the table-top bar or people watch against the back wall. A lucky few might score a seat at the corner table in front, next to the pocket-sized DJ area. The famous jukebox by the bathrooms features '70s and…

avoid weekends, perfect weekday bar.

always gonna be my home base bar. Cheap, cold beer, and great service. No lighting the bar on fire anymore though, its a wood bar so as cool as it was, had to end. Go long enough you'll know everyone in there. Attractive bartenders, Torrance is the shitt (and lord can the man sing) and the DJ's are always good. Just dont touch anything in the bathroom (its pretty rank, if you can, try and avoid it) and its one of the best bars in LA, but as with anywhere, weekends are ridicoulos.
- Pros: cheap beer, good crowd, great staff
- Cons: bathrooms are filthy, weekends its too packed

My favorite dive bar anywhere

It's dark, it's low-key, and if you like loud rock music, this is the place to be. The drinks are strong and moderately priced. The jukebox is gone - but instead, you get different music every night of the week from some great DJs. They still light the bar on fire every once in a while. And Torrance is the best door man in town!

Rockin' It

I went here with a bunch of friends for my bday a few months ago, it was my first time here, and it ROCKED! We were able to get the table in the front and drank the nigbt away. Although they don't have a dance floor I made it a need to shake my tail feather between the table and the bar. Entire staff is nice, DJ was a little rude but he still rocked the greatest tunes. I had a ball. Decor ain't too impressive but staff and tunes make up for it.
- Pros: Friendly staff, Dark decor, Lively
- Cons: Parking
The Details on Burgundy Room
Know Before You Go:
Pick "Ring of Fire" or "Light My Fire" from the jukebox, and bartenders may light the bar on fire. The jukebox shuts down at 10pm when DJs rock the house.
