The Little Friend

LA’s Best New Bars Of 2019 - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If we’re going off the traditional Hollywood rule, the sequel is never supposed to be as good as the original, but Little Friend is the exception. The second location of Silver Lake’s The Friend opened in Venice this summer, and almost immediately became our go-to dance spot on the Westside. As the name suggests, it’s not a big space, but the crowd size is always well-managed, so even when it’s at capacity, you never feel like a sardine swaying to the beat. The dancefloor energy definitely changes based on the DJ, but with cocktails this strong and a disco ball overhead, it’s never too difficult to find your place at the party." - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating
