DAMN, I MISS PARIS

Stopped in unexpectedly at the top of their opening hour. The doorman greeted us both with a warm welcome. Being the first customers to arrive we were greeted with a cheerful welcomes from behind the bar. I first noticed the touches of elegance in furnishings and wall art work. The decorum was suede textures and dark walnut woods. The mural was jazzy illustrations of dance, cool moves and sensual music. The vibe and music brought on an immediate desire to dance. It was an added effort to refrain from stepping into hip hop groove fashion. Why? I just wanted to take in the moment of discovering this hidden gem of a hideaway. 😁 I was in my happy place and my husband and I hadn’t yet made it to the bar! We had our bartender make recommendations and we ended up ordering two drinks and their warmed pretzel as a snack. My husband loved his drink so much he ordered a second. Each drink on the menu is a personal concoction from its designated bartender. These flavors and notes in my drink revealed that our lovely bartender Jordan was an experienced mixologist!!! We were thrilled to find this gem of a cocktail lounge on such a whim! We will definitely be back! Thank you to our lovely hosts! And “Damn, I Miss Paris”

Francisco took great care of me!! Along with Eljay, and another barback, tall guy with curly hair I forgot his name. They created a great vibe for me and the folks in there! Thanks for showing me a great time

My husband and I were excited to try this bar, but our experience was ruined by an incredibly rude waitress. The doorman was very welcoming, allowing us to choose our table, but the waitress then told us we couldn’t sit where we wanted, even though it wasn’t reserved. To make matters worse, she allowed another couple to sit there without any issue. Her attitude was very rude and left us feeling unwelcome. Thankfully, she finished her shift at 7 PM, and we were served by a much nicer staff member, but by then, we were just about ready to close our bill. This place has potential, but management needs to address the attitude of that waitress; otherwise, they risk losing customers.

Great ambiance and vibe... Very good service, highly recommend for a group outing, drinks etc

It's great bar With a Urban Chic Vibe period I really enjoyed my time At this bar period the drinks were great and they have very clean bathrooms which is always a plus period I definitely will be back to try out some of their other cocktails.

adam, taylor, and LJ deserve the world. stop by here for the bomb folks they employ if nothing else 💋 but trust! there are plenty of other reasons - pull up n see!

I highly recommend Damn I Miss Paris. The bartenders, wait staff, and the gentleman at the front door were so helpful. I just had a glass of wine, but my friends were enjoying the food and said it was good.

Okay so the vibe is adorable and I like the energy, however for it to be a cocktail bar, I think it’s odd that they don’t have any signature cocktails. It’s literally just ur average joe negroni, old fashioned, paloma etc. on the menu. They tasted totally fine, no complaints about the drink taste, but I feel like I usually go to a dedicated cocktail bar to get to try a more interesting drink, so that was disappointing. Also this is incredibly nit picky of me, but for a bar with a french theme, the only french thing about it was some of the wallpaper and them denoting normal fries as “pomme frites”. Like, the food menu was classic american bar food — chips and dip, chicken tenders etc. All in all, the service and atmosphere were great but I just think it’s disappointing theme wise and boring. I don’t see it competing for long with the LA cocktail bar scene unless they occupy a niche and make more interesting cocktails.

I stopped by this bar mid-week for a drink with my boyfriend, and it is gorgeous. I love the decor--it's even prettier in person! The customer service is amazing, and the playlist is fantastic. We both enjoyed our cocktails and I will definitely be back.

Finally! West Adams has a chic cocktail lounge that rivals anything in LA. Soho House vibes would be an accurate depiction because the aesthetic is second to none. Right next to the boutique Alsace Hotel. First heard about this on a neighborhood FB group. Been open less than a month. Went in at midnight on a Friday and it was like a night-out scene on HBO's "Insecure"--people were having the time of their lives dancing amidst a gorgeous backdrop in a beautiful space. No stuffy, conceited, or pretentious attitudes here--just decently priced cocktails ~$20 and ample street parking. Ample seating and a drink rail along the wall for standing room only so you feel accommodated no matter what. Justin was the head bar tender and made us feel incredibly welcome. Joel was the doorman and provided a warm welcome whilst Justin, the head bar man, was a consummate craft cocktail maker. Lots of free after hours street parking too. This place was far and away desperately needed for the hottest up-and-coming neighborhood in Los Angeles. Can't wait to go back!
