Cool spot....enjoyed it

by scorpio_626

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

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.

Low-key bar next to the Pantages is equal parts dive, hip hangout and theater-crowd watering hole.

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 number of seats and stools, where the old-fashioned popcorn machine provides free salty treats. Wash it down with a cheap beer or cocktail, pick a few songs on the jukebox and make new friends. Much like Boardner's and the Burgundy Room, this bar is an old-school Hollywood holdout.

best beer slinger

by bigworm11

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

No pretentiousness

by burbankqt

Went there on a Saturday night...eclectic group of people, but no pretense...what a relief! The drinks are inexpensive and the place is really small but fun. It's really easy to meet people here and have interesting conversations.

Oh, you can Frolic

by sinter

Just go here with a bunch of friends if you want to have fun. You can run the jukebox, have some great drinks that are under $10 each and just be yourself. The crowd ranges from theater patrons to dentally challenged regulars who could quite possibly be the nicest people I've ever met. If you don't mind the initial smell, you'll love it.
