Izayoi’s mastermind is chef Junichi Shiode, the whiz who used to run Sushi Ryo, one of those rare secret addresses beloved by chefs seeking a cuisine that many customers didn’t even know it served: classic Japanese izakaya dishes. Izakaya menus are typically long and hard to follow, with a host of different sections unfamiliar to anyone not versed in the style, and a list of daily specials often as long as the menu proper. Here is the secret: Order lots of stuff: gooey octopus sashimi, ramekins of roughly chopped Spanish mackerel, bowls of room-temperature egg custard topped with sea-urchin gonads, house-made tofu slicked with sweet miso paste, yakiniku skewers of grilled tongue, dried and grilled skate fins cut into little salty curls — and a bowl of ochazuke, brothy rice, at the end. Parking in Office Depot lot on Second St. at Central Ave. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.lacitabar.com With a low ceiling and a shadowy atmosphere flecked with glittery Christmas lights, this large downtown bar is a great place to hear live music by local underground and indie rock bands, as well as weekly DJ nights that include Latin and dance music. A large, colorful painting of a matador and bull dominates the club's stage and dance floor, and the long, wooden main bar boasts a full range of cheap drinks and exotic liquors. La Cita also has a second bar in the back on "El Patio," where barflies can watch sporting events on television and sip their drinks while gazing up at the illuminated skyscrapers towering over the downtown skyline. Full bar. No food. Street parking. Ages 21 & over. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.213nightlife.com/lasperlas At the downtown mezcal bar Las Perlas, manager Raul Yrastorza has created cocktails that are characterized by ingredients like fresh curry leaves, cumin, mole, smoky chipotle and jalapeño juice. Some drinks on the menu change from week to week, but the chile-laced Juquila and the bar's signature Spicy Margarita are always available. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.littlebearla.com Distinguished yet casual, this Belgian beer cafe fits in comfortably in the Warehouse District downtown. At the base of the looming lofts converted from toy factories, the spot's iconic red door opens to reveal a bright and airy interior. The well-appointed beer list offers a broad selection, from quality locals to rare imports, which change frequently. (It also alerts you to which kegs are on deck for tapping, which is an ingenious strategy to bring you in next week.) The fare is traditional Belgian meets modern America, with Carbonnade de Flamande perfectly at home next to a short-rib grilled cheese. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.clubmayan.com This high-energy Latin club draws huge crowds to its multiple dance floors. Heart pumping music, mostly latin and Spanish-rock, mixed in with a little hip-hop from time to time, has guests bumpin' and grindin'. If you don't like to dance, it's not the place for you. If you just don't know how to dance, the club offers salsa lessons before it opens. Problem solved. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
The competition for the best karaoke bar in Chinatown is fierce, but if the sign at Melody Lounge trumpeting "Cold Beer and Ham Sandwiches" is not enough to win hearts, the charmingly mistranslated songs (e.g., the John Denver classic "Libyan on a Jet Plane") should be. A literal mom and pop operation – an adorable older couple own the establishment – this is where to go when you want to sing your heart out near downtown.

Located in the basement vault of the former Los Angeles Trust and Savings Building, Mercury Liquors is a dungeon of a bar. Guests enter through a round, foot-thick safe door where a darkly lit, yet classy bar awaits them. The room maintains much of the building's 1912 architecture.

http://www.themezzbar.com Located inside the grand Downtown Deco quarters of the 104-year-old Alexandria Hotel, the Mezz is a speakeasy-style nightclub showcasing jazz, blues, burlesque, comedy and random, retro-themed amusements. With low ceilings, lower (mostly red) lighting, and some of the lowest-priced drinks in the area, this underground-feeling room provides an exquisite backdrop. The aforementioned ceiling has shimmering chandeliers and ornate moldings and details. The predominantly artsy crowd (especially during Downtown's circuslike Artwalk, which happens on the streets right outside) appreciates both its style and its history. The hotel itself is said to be haunted even though it now also houses a trendy pub (Gorbals, from Top Chef winner Ilan Hall) and functions as an apartment building.

http://www.theparishla.com/main.html The Parish's strength lies in elevating grease. The best dish at chef Casey Lane's downtown gastropub is the fried oyster poutine, topped with spicy gribiche for a mustardy, pickle-y, herb-laden smoosh, the crispy oysters and soggy fries melding into a pile of glorious tang. It's one of those dishes you almost wish you were drunk enough to put your entire face into: Its combination of fat and tart and fry and yum seems to be engineered exactly for that level of intoxication. Even when consumed sober, it's giddily delicious. There are less-artery-clogging options, like a kale salad with pomegranate and crispy parsnips, and a fantastic dish of caramelized green beans with marcona almonds and romesco. —Besha Rodell Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.patternbar.com Ensconced in downtown's Fashion District, the Pattern Bar salutes its surroundings with specialty cocktails named for famous fashion designers like the D. Von Furstenberg (a concoction that blends Overholt Rye, Barenjager honey liquor, mint and orange), the Dior, the Chanel and the McQueen. Fittingly, the bar's logo is a sewing machine (although you'll have to look hard to find the bar's name, as it's hidden on a small corner of the front entrance). The Pattern Bar is located on the ground floor of an old multistory building on the corner of Ninth and Main streets, with a high ceiling and surrounded on two sides by large windows. On warm nights, the doors are opened up so that the entire eastern side of the room is exposed to the night air. DJs spin lounge and other sounds at Pattern Sessions every Friday and Saturday night. The menu offers tapas and Spanish-style paninis and salads, as well as the Venezuelan corn cakes known as arepas. Drinks are a little pricey but potent. Although there's no official dress code at this fashion-centric bar, informal attire (such as wearing a baseball cap) is discouraged. Happy hour occurs nightly from 5-7 p.m. Street parking. Ages 21 & over. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.pourhauswinebar.com Every bar in downtown L.A. seems to be jockeying for position when it comes to the best happy hour, but one at a wine bar reigns supreme: Pour Haus in DTLA’s warehouse district. Here, happy hour goes from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. A select glass of red, white or sparkling wine is available for $5, as are assorted menu items, from oxtail tacos to bruschetta. For the detail-obsessed, trivia nights are Tuesdays. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
