"This rambunctious rumpus room of a hangout bar is a welcome addition to an area that’s primarily known for an antiques mall and the historic Hollywood Theater. The vibe here is “tiki bar in a fun uncle’s garage” — think shelves overflowing with island-life tchotchkes and a hodgepodge of 1970s ephemera. Sonder’s food menu is mostly hangout-friendly chips and dips, while the cocktail menu has a tropical flair. The standout feature is its squadron of absolutely titanic loudspeakers that look capable of blowing doors off the Hollywood Bowl, let alone this modestly sized mid-century strip mall storefront in the perennially up-and-coming Hollywood neighborhood." - Ben Coleman
