"There’s no sign outside Civil Liberties, a bar right outside Koreatown, just a metallic pineapple to let you know you’re in the right place. And since they feel the same about menus as they do signs, you’ll either name your drink or have a conversation with your bartender who will make you something that’s “light but not too sweet - I don’t want a headache tomorrow - and with vodka.” The drinks are some of the best around, and the service is just as good. Eat before or after, because the food is nothing special, and don’t be surprised by the high bar bill – especially after you factor in the huge tip you’ll want to leave." - Katie Diamond

Great vibe, bartenders come up to you and you tell them what you’re feeling, and they make a drink out of it.
