What People Are Saying About Frolic Room
Featured Review
Contributor

The Scene – The Frolic Room is for people who want to avoid nearby trendy bar scenes, but don't want to hang out with a surplus of professional drinkers. There are a few real pros lingering about here, but they are outnumbered by local hipsters and folks who think traveling anywhere east of La Brea is slumming it. The theater crowd from the neighboring Pantages hits heavily before and after shows, and has a way of transforming the atmosphere into an offbeat version of its "L.A. Confidential" past. – – The Draw – A bow-tied bouncer shoos crowds inside to a limited…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Theater crowds pack the place before and after shows. If you're a ticket holder, forget the pricey drinks at the in-house bar and head here for a quick drink.

Old School and Awesome
by ChedR at Citysearch
Simply put, this is the coolest bar in Hollywood, precisely because it has gone largely unchanged since it re-opened after prohinbition in 1934. It's small, cramped, grimy, dimly lit and affordable - everything almost every other establishment in Hollywood tries to avoid. The classic style (night bartenders still wear vests and bowties) and local-corner-tavern-vibe make this old school establishment one of LA's proudest watering holes.

Cool spot....enjoyed it
by lencho323 at Citysearch
Dope lil spot and the drinks were right on. The area is small and chill. I went during off hours and it wasn't packed. Great for bar hoping.
- Pros: wasn't crowded
- Cons: couldn't find any...

Great Hollywood Haunt
by cahuengacat at Citysearch
My favorite bar in Hollywood. Friendly bartenders, terrific jukebox, and great crowd. It's a great alternative to the trendy clubs in Hollywood. If you want to meet someone, it's easy to do there. Also, if you're looking to just drink and be left alone, that's pretty easy too! Drinks are reasonably priced to boot!
- Pros: Great crowd, fun people watching, best jukebox in town.
- Cons: Tough to find a parking spot at times.

by bigworm11 at Citysearch
I was Frolicing at the Frolic room Monday night the crowd started small but then more people came in- a mixed croud if you will. Joel the man behind the bar was quick to remember our rounds simply signal the man and it was there. Friendly people, dont be shy strike up a conversation with an out of towner and who knows maybe you'll get luck ;)
you can catch me there again when im back in town.
- Pros: Priced right, quick service, popcorn
- Cons: can get tight, jukebox nees more
