The Scene
Standing directly across the street from the grand Hollywood & Highland complex, this grungy, neighborhood dive bar is the antithesis of the new vision city planners have for the legendary Hollywood Boulevard strip. The dingy, hole-in-the-wall is more trashy than trendy, but its patrons don't come here for the ambience. It's all about the pitchers of PBR and the "Roadhouse" behavior that draws the wayward barfly here. The wise-cracking bartender, stiff cocktails, classic rock-filled jukebox, darts and pinball games will keep you busy, while the rowdy barroom banter will keep you alert.
The Draw
The crowd ranges from heavy-metal mullethead to the blue-haired skate-punk to "Shallow Hal" star Jack Black. If you can handle your booze, are up-to-date on WWE news and can name three Thin Lizzy albums, then you can hang.

love this bar. it's dark, it's grungy, it rocks!! the bartenders are cool, there's a jukebox packed with good music, and the drinks are strong. it's the chill drink with your friends without having to get all dressed up just because you're in hollywood. best time ever.

Yup. This is it. This is a dive bar. The laminate tiles are hanging from the tall ceilings (my friend thought they were about to fall on her at any second). Some weird old guy tried to start a fight with me because he thought I was talking about him (I am like the most innocent-looking girl ever). The drinks are VERY strong. Two and I was feeling it. And the jukebox had a really great selection. Not too crowded either, which was great. (And the bathroom was clean, which is remarkable for a dive bar!)

If you like dive bars then you will love this place. Great drink prices and the drinks are STIFF!! I love the atmosphere, especially the velvet clown painting. The best part of my night at Power House was watching the fight outside, it felt like home. I'm going to be there a lot.
