The menu includes tinned fish, braised lamb neck, and a grilled bluefin tuna collar. Written Hand is open for dinner Sunday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m." - Cathy Chaplin

This place has A-LOT TO OFFER! Once again, the Written hand is a hype worthy place to dine in, even if you're not staying at the hotel, it makes for a wonderful place!!! I had Rey help me today, he is pleasant and understanding of what clients look forward to me as myself. I had to reorder the burger here, i got it well done; its uniquely blended flavor is delicious!! It is cooked with bacon, seriously mouth watering flavors. The burger: delicious juiciness stacked with melted cheese, mayo, and aromas: it comes with a salad or fries, the fries in my honest opinion are comparable to in n out fries but a fatter version. There is street parking (depending on the day of the week you come). They have a beautiful movie projector there's a pool table. They have gorgeous seating. If you love beautiful dinning, this is your spot for it. Even if you're in the mood for a drink, it's definitely a great place to stop by!! They have beautiful art of the wall, pretty drinks and music playing. The staff genuinely makes this place even better!!! Restrooms are always clean. Valet is not free. Security at the front. If you're looking to meet with friends, family or business meetings, this is a very effective place to experience wonderful hospitality. Keep up the incredible work please. I love coming here. It's my new to go to place! Overlooking the capital records sign, it's so beautiful with the high ceilings!!! Thank you Dani and Corey for making this place what it is!! I love doing business here. With Lauren and Malerie at the bar, they make sure your drinks are delicious!!!

Chris and Lauren excude luxury hospitality, with a personal touch. Thank you for the non-alc wine options, and for such genuine conversations. Chris, thanks for explaining the differences between the different dining options as well! (Jane Q in the morning until 1pm, then Written Hand opening st 3pm a floor above the LL floor) Amazing service from both Lauren and Chris enhanced our experience during our stay at The Everly. Kudos to the team for instilling such a sense of luxury hospitality with a personal approach - Lauren and Chris could be examples for what other establishments strive for in service and knowledge of food and beverage options and pairings. For the food, honestly the prices are reasonable for the area, and the quality is 5/5. Absolutely the BEST salad I have ever had. Caesar with dressing on the side, complete with edible florals, fresh green onion and lemon grass, micro greens and more. We only got salads, but based on that I'm sure we will be back! Delicious Cocktails, mocktails, and Non-alcoholic wine and bev options as well as a full bar. Room for improvement? Just a note to management to make the name of the restaurant and bar clearly visible in person and make sure hours are posted correctly online. (Jane Q still says ooent till 3pm, idk if that's accurate) Thanks again Lauren and Chris and the Kimpton team!

BEYOND 10 STARS: they are genuinely the definition of excellence!!! From their cocktails, to the views, the services, ambience and food are "exquisite". Rey and Naomi helped me out, they really made my experience too incredible. They are extremely attentive, give you amazing recommendations and know the menu very well!! They were friendly and hospitality was beyond everything i can ask for! Ask for Allen, Rey or Naomi and Ian! Quality you can count on every single time! I hope they get recognition and get promoted for amazing they make this place!! The team here understands the importance of excellence, words cannot define how amazing this place is!!! It's like a second home!!! Bring your appetite, your friends and family and enjoy every single in this place has to offer!! The music, the decor, plenty of space to take trendy pictures (if you're into esthetics like me). Their french fries remind me of in-n-out (not oily). Seriously very great selection without the heaviness! Their signature hamburger is DELICIOUS and juicy. Flavors combined just dancing inside your mouth. It has traces of bacon inside, VERY VERY VERY GOOD. Everything i look for in a burger, (i love it well done) OMG!!! It's been a long time since i've had a high quality burger like this!!!! If you love burgers like me, come here!!! They have a pool table, spacious areas to dine, pretty drinks (strong and tasteful). The staff is completely OUTSTANDING. Close to all the entertainment without overly exposed!! The bathrooms are clean. They have security at the front. Valet is available (estimated $40) or plenty of street parking (free)!!! The bartends are amazing too, they constantly made sure I was finding everything ok. They even have a projector Its so beautiful!!! I love how it's overlooking the Capitol records, even on rainy days it's gorgeous!! They have a beautiful selection of drinks (very pretty). Plenty of space to lounge with friends and perfect place to pregame or bar hop!!!

Valet and a block away from Pantages makes this a great spot to grab a bite and drink before the show. Bartenders are welcoming and attentive. You can order off the bar menu or take your drink to Jane Q. Great view of surrounding buildings.

Let me tell you about this place. We had tickets to Moulin Rouge at the Pantages and they advertised a 3 course meal for $65 and get you out in time for your show. WELL, I have NEVER had this level of terrible service. The food was ordered and never came out. After multiple complaints to the manager, we got salads and then had to cancel the rest of the order to be able to make it to the theater on time. THE WORST was that the manager was rude and unapologetic for the issues we were having and made 0 attempts to even get the food out faster. You would think that it was really crowded but fact was that it was empty and now I know why. AVOID THIS PLACE AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!

Food was awesome! Beverages were great. Staff was super friendly. Service started a little slow, but picked up once we placed our order.

Located inside the Kimpton Everly Hotel. Cool LA vibe overlooking the downtown with full view floor to ceiling windows. Couches to lounge in spaced spaciously. Glass room partitioned within the bar lined with low level cushioned couches. A pool table for a relaxing games between sips. Drinks ~ Vegas like pricing for small pours. The concoctions need work. Bartenders ~ they all need retraining. Very slow and take their leisurely time to tend the guests. Watch them make drinks and it will put you to sleep. The cool vibe is a large living room with ample lounging. Service was the sour taste in the drinks.

I stayed at this Kimpton Hotel in LA for first time and as a loyal and fanatic of the brand, again...I was not disappointed. My only negative critique, was that I had wish there bar was open earlier in the afternoon. The bar opens at 5pm. The room then fills with hotel guests and some locals with a simple menu of pizzas and small bites and a very well prepared cocktail and spirits list. I had a very elegant time and ordered the pepperoni pizza with hot honey. Very well balanced and baked and a delicious crust.

Gorgeous drinks, topped with extraordinarily staff. Lauren and Mallory helped me out today at the bar! It's such a wonderful treat coming here. They deserve recognition for their extraordinary efforts. Excellence is always here. Tiktok didn't make me buy it, this time it was yelp! Very therapeutic being surrounded by contemporary elements, such as the seatings, lighting, staff is amazingly talented!! They are so outstanding, because of their outstanding work, i am beyond thrilled to becoming a proud re accruing client!! My friends will definitely be accompanying me. Their drinks are pretty, tasty, so delightful to experience and so aesthetic. Do yourself a favor and come here!!!! They have spectacular selections. The combination of elements and quality here is worthwhile. I wish i knew about it sooner. Plenty of parking to avoid paying the valet. I am so happy every time i come here. The views are so beautiful, definitely very memorable. I didn't even know the kimpton existed, but when i started coming here i understood how amazing their brand is. Kimpton is my new favorite top places to spend my week and weekends here no matter the occasion. Beyond amazing!! The cocktails are refreshing and exquisite.

This place has a great atmosphere and the drinks are amazing. It is a little on the pricey side but as to be expected where it is.

I have been going to this amazing location for six years - it has become an amazing space for day time resting and journalling - I really feel loved here from the staff who lets us locals, buy and coffee and Jane Q's and rest up in their lobby areas - so many great art books - and extremely well curated art wall. New Years Eve's are also phenomenal here and provide such a great space for a ton of happy people to come together and have fun!

Your experience depends on a bartender. Some of them are nice and would try to do their best but some would try to cheat you when it comes to your check. I was charged $56 for a double Glenlivet 12 whiskey. After I asked why, turned out that they misspelled it as Macallan 12

I sat at the bar for close to 20mins.. no one acknowledged I was even sitting there. I eventually had to wave someone down to get a menu. Then was continued to not be asked if I wanted to order a drink. I literally left when I saw someone else who doesn't look like me walk up to the bar and be greeted and serviced. Not a great way to end my stay here. Highly disappointed in this from Kimpton.

Tucked inside the trendy and modern Everly Hotel, the Ever Bar is a bit of a gem. The bartenders are friendly, and they pour cocktails right. I had a local friend comment that his Old Fashioned was perfect, something that strangely seems a lost art in Hollywood these days. They have special themed drinks as well, such as drinks named for Oscar-nominated films. If you're an Everly guest, they offer a complimentary wine hour nightly from 5-6pm. During my stay I tried each of the three offerings (I stayed a whole week, before you get ideas), and there were no hidden Franzia boxes to be found. Outside of wine hour, the drinks are pricey, but it's to be expected for the location. It is an aesthetically interesting place. There are high ceilings, tons of natural light, and a huge display of liquor behind the bar. You have a wide variety of seating options, from cozy couches to stools at the bar. (Pro tip: There are power chargers under the bar for those of us who inevitably need to charge the phone.) On some evenings, they have live music. It can get crowded, and it definitely gets loud, but you can't hear a thing from the guest rooms, which is important if you're a hotel guest. If you're not, you can also get 3 hours of parking for $10 with validation. My understanding is that is a bargain price for the area, especially that close to the Pantages. There is a modest bar food menu, but I was disappointed to find there were no vegan options, nor does the restaurant on site offer anything vegan. That was a little surprising in LA, to be honest. I suppose we could say it's one hummus plate away from five stars at the end of the night.

This is a bar and lounge at new Kimpton Everly hotel in Hollywood, we stayed at this hotel for a few days so we just hung out here for drinks mostly. This place is very open and spacious with lots of comfy seatings, also a pool table by the windows. The bar menu was very impressive, so many classic and creative seasonal cocktails, priced from $14-16 which was very reasonable in Hollywood. I tried espresso martini, lemon drop martini, nutty by nature which was a very strong and refreshing mezcal cocktail. Hubby and friends tried Vesper martini and old fashioned, they were all very strong and tasty. The evening free wine tasting attracted a lot of hotel guests, but we don't really like wines so we just skipped it. The limited food menu was good, we tried spicy tuna crispy rice and pretzel bread with dipping cheese, both were very yummy. The bartenders were very friendly and accommodating most of the time. There was a birthday party on Saturday night and DJ spinning, so the vibe was lively and people watching was fun too. This is a low key lounge most of the time, if you like creative cocktails and relaxing lounging you will definitely love this place! Ps. Validated parking for about $22.

Another hotel bar for the books. The bar area is huge, with plush seating and a pool table...it reminds me of a fancy living room. The drinks were memorable, which is saying a lot since I've been to over 200+ bars. They have a pretty extensive menu with fun drinks; they seem to like utilizing unusual ingredients. It's not uncommon for a craft cocktail bar to experiment with unconventional ingredients, but I found that not a whole lot can actually pull it off. Either the ingredients listed get muddled and lost or the combination just doesn't work. But every drink we tried here was perfectly balanced and the flavors came through just as promised. I'll Say She Does ($17; peanut butter-washed Elijah Craig bourbon, Campari, Lustau Pedro Ximenez sherry, negroni foam (!!), blood orange chip) - Rich & delicious...the negroni foam just killed me. My favorite drink of all time is the negroni so this was a no-brainer. Oh, and it really does taste like peanut butter. Penny Royal Tea ($18; Copper & Kings Moons of Jupiter gin, Greenbar Poppy Amaro, honey tea, tobacco bitters, angostura bitters, cherry-flavored 'antiacid') - Comes in a cute little teacup & saucer with a plastic syringe of "smoke." The idea is to add as little or as much smokiness as you'd like. Spirit-forward and bold. If you don't do well with the botanical flavors of gin, I probably wouldn't get this. Boulevardier ($16; Makers Mark bourbon, mesquite-infused Campari, sweet tea vermouth, smoke) - I'm one of those people who think negronis are infinitely superior to boulevardiers (this is a fact btw). So I wasn't super impressed with it but it was okay I guess. My partner's favorite drink is a boulevardier & he loved it...I guess nobody can be perfect.

I ordered cocktails for 4 people and the bar was out of ingredients for 2 of the drinks we ordered. We switched to 2 other cocktails- also out. That's 4 drinks out of an 8-drink menu that are unavailable. Okay, two of us will switch to beer. The pilsner is out too (bartender tells me the cheap lager is basically the same). Let's try wine. The first two we asked for were also out, and the third was poured from the dregs of two bottles that hadn't been vacuum sealed and tasted extremely oxidized. The bartender (large guy with a goatee) was incredibly slow and asked us to repeat the two cocktails we ordered that they could make 5 times. Totally clueless. Seems like whoever is managing this bar isn't doing their job, and the crew behind the bar isn't any better. The space is beautiful though.

I should let you know that this review is for 'Miracle,' the Christmas bar that runs until 12/31. Miracle is a pop up at different bars across the country and the one in LA happens to be super close to where I live. So we decided to walk here for a drink on Saturday night. This place is decked out, in a good way. So many decorations you don't even know where to look! Miracle has a set drink menu but Ever Bar also had their own seasonal drink menu. I tried two of the Miracle drinks ($16 each) and they were both delicious and festive! Served in Christmas drinkware. This place was packed but it didn't feel crowded because of the layout. The service was quick and efficient as well. We did order the grilled cheese and tomato soup and it was OK. The bread was great but the mix of cheese was odd and not 100% melted. My boyfriend ordered the prime rib sandiwch and said that was great. I'm still giving this place five stars because it's a beautiful place with great cocktails and service! I want to go back once Miracle leaves and try some of their noraml menu items.

It's been a while since I've been to a quality cocktail bar. Id never expect it coming to a hotel bar (at least compared to intercontinental), but Ever Bar has a really wide range of interesting cocktails that all work well in their own unique ways. It's clear they put a lot of work into their creations. I tried three cocktails: Steve Mansfield (7/10) an above average old fashioned variant with a nice coffee finish. slight vegetal scent but otherwise hard to taste the arugela apple shrub Night Market Sweats (9/10) Very intense chorizo flavor that is somehow balanced well by the cabernet. usually foams just add texture, but this one was a whole different flavor element. Banana Daiquiri (8/10) low abv and fruity drink. strong banana flavor up front and pineapple aftertaste. My favorite part about this place are the bartenders! They're so friendly for an LA bar and I enjoyed conversing with them, even if they were taking my money. I've been to a lot of bars in LA, and this is one of the best!

Oh the beauty that is Ever Bar. This is a review for the Miracle at the Everly pop up Christmas bar! My friends were super excited to check this place out when we first heard about it. This place was open on Christmas Day! The easiest way to park is just to have the hotel valet your car. Parking is $10 for three hours. This is whether or not you actually do end up staying the entire three hours. When we first stepped it, which is just a few steps to the left upon entering the hotel, we saw all the lights. The bar area is so beautiful with the Christmas lights and the Santa covered chairs. They have an assortment of decorations for you to take pictures in front of. Additionally, they have a variety of drinks you can order. I ordered the Christmapolitan drink, but opted to get it without the alcohol. They were able to accommodate that and make me a wonderful drink. They also had some games you can play to pass the time and use up close to the 3 hours you paid for parking. If you get the chance, please visit this pop up bar before they potentially move somewhere else!

This review is for the Miracle at the Everly pop up Christmas bar. Went there on Friday night and I was very pleased. I've tried my share of pop up bars and some are definitely weaker than others - this one does not disappoint. Walk in through a tunnel of lights and past a wall of Christmas presents to a well decorated and large space! Lots of Christmas lights, a bar with a Christmas card as a menu, a blow up Santa, and much more. They also had a live band go on around 9:30pm who played some Christmas music. They also had a Christmas colored game of Jenga in a corner. Drinks are pricey but they are quite adorable (especially the hot drinks that come in Santa mugs) and taste good. I got a Christmas-twist version of a Cosmopolitan with some fresh rosemary on top. It was strong in a good way. Overall a great choice if you're looking to get into the Christmas spirit!

We're staying here in the hotel. Came up to bar 10 minutes before closing. The "bartender" said we're closed, plopped a closed sign down in front of us, and physically shooed us away. We asked if there was something nearby, she very condescendingly referred us to the internet, as if we were the most annoying and idiotic humans who had ever crossed her path

No. It is quiet, it is spacious, it has fun seating options, it has windows overlooking Vine St, it has new decor and clean furniture, but none of these are reasons to visit a bar. The bar is also pretty with its long granite tops and illuminated drink shelves. The drinks that come out sounds fabulous on paper, but sadly do not jive with the expectations. It always seemed like something was missing, skipped or replaced. Like the vesper that boasts lillet and therefore hits much sweeter tones than the original kina and deviates from literally every other legit bar that stuffs cochi americano derivatives. The attempt at manhattan was equally inept in some hard to define ways - as if smooth single malt was used instead of a punchier rye. Overall, the range of drinks from classics to the menu left a lot to be desired and I would surely hesitate before visiting again.

Why are all the semi-to-high-end bars around here so similar? Lost property, the Minibar in the Best Western, all kinda the same. This one is the most pricey of them all. At least the MiniBar gives me free popcorn, but on the other hand the white bartenders never give me popcorn. So plus one, minus one? The small bites here have an Asian influence, aka not ashamed to ingredient drop the prosaic furikake. It's a gorgeous space with a pool table. But like really $16 for monkey bread bc it has barely discernible duck confit? Cocktail menu is interesting. Commentary on what I tried: The bone thighs gets progressively sweeter the longer it sits bc the base is shochu. Only the aroma stays bone broth true. Espresso martini was perfect coffee & alcohol marriage. Whiskey sour was on the sweet side, but visually appealing and proper egg white foam. Not sure whether this place is worth visiting again. Maybe if it's too hot to trek up the hill. But it's not terrible and pretty noteworthy as a hotel bar.

This place is great but on the expensive side. It's located inside the Everly hotel. There are nice views, a pool table, couches and knowledgeable bartenders. I love almost all the drinks I've had here and the one time I didn't like something the bartender was quick to offer to make me something else - no drama. I love it. Good is tasty as well. If you have room, order the bread pudding .

An attractive spot on the second floor of the Everly Hotel, the Ever Bar provides a handsome and relaxing lounge atmosphere. The space has a bar which seats a dozen or so, several couches, a conference-style communal table, a stage for live bands, pool table and a partially separated area for more quiet conversation. Unfortunately, the hard-wood floor, brick walls and high ceiling are not ideal for live music so when there's a band, the comfort level changes considerably. The Ever Bar serves classic cocktails, as well as new and modern concoctions. Their 'Bites' menu is very good and everything is presented and plated with style. They are also quite creative with their approach and they often have 'themed' oriented drinks and fare. During the Oscars, their offerings where film related, specifically for the movies up for an award. The menu was very clever and the attention to detail was impressive. I've been here many times during the last 12 months and while the service is generally good, it's never been great. There can be 'tude' with some of the bartenders, but when I've been bothered by the lack of service, the main problem seems to be understaffing. When the bartender is making the drinks and serving in the lounge on a quiet Sunday evening, then there's not enough staff on the floor. I shouldn't have to wait for almost 15 minutes to get a drink in that type of setting. However, I understand that there are many unknown factors which can affect the overall quality of the service so I remain positive. Bottom line is the Ever Bar is a quality spot and I'd much rather be here than any of the other Hotel Bars in the area - Definitely worth a visit.

if u wanna find me, I'll be here CHILLEN at the bar. GREAT alcohol options, DOPE ASS ambiance. Modern meets a subtle boho vibe.....almost Feels like your kicking it in some rich assholes living room somewhere in the Hollywood hills. The drannnnks were amaaaaze....I got the going back to Cali cocktail with Casamigos repisado. And fell in love with the first sip. Buffalo cauliflower was dreamy. This place is a 10 stars out of 5. Oh did I mention the RIDICULOUS TALENTED band that started playing? F*k a lounge band...this band was not that...they were SO impressive that it felt like we were watching a concert . Like, I'd buy tickets to their show that's how good they were. Anyways, ya this place is the business.

First of all, it's gorgeous. Stunning. Well-appointed. It's tough to have a hotel lobby bar that doesn't feel like it's. . .a bar in the lobby of a hotel. . .but the folks at Ever Bar nailed it. Spacious, set up smartly so lines don't pile up, gorgeous wood floors & a great gallery wall with a DJ at night, a pool table, a spacious seating area & high ceilings. It's an awesome place to hang out, and it doesn't feel like a 'scene' even though it's frequented by pretty people and cool folk. The drinks are good, the bartenders are fast and accurate, and it really is a good time at Ever Bar.

This bar is amazing!!! I've visited my fair share of bars in my day and this bar is better then what I could have imagined. Let me start with the bartenders. Saeed House and Paige both went above and beyond to make myself and my girlfriend feel welcomed. I loved how before even looking at a menu they approached us and began talking to us like they knew us. Just like friends having a conversation. They really make you feel special. After perusing the menu I ordered Saeed's new cocktail the California Sour and it was delicious. My girlfriend was a bit more indecisive and Saeed was more than happy to help her choose something just right for her. He was currently working on a new cocktail using guava syrup and gin and had her try it. She loved it! I tried some as well and let me tell you that it was probably one of the best cocktails I've tried. The entire night was amazing and I can't wait to come back and try other drinks. I would definitely suggest this bar to anyone looking for a good drink, good atmosphere and awesome bartenders. It would also be a great spot to stop by at before hitting up any other places close to the area.

A nice spot to go and have a drink with a friend, coworker, significant other. The music seems like mixture of jazz, indie, old school hip hop. (I could be wrong). Nice lounge areas to sit and chat.

A true cocktail bar with an exceptional mixed drinks program. The style is to introduce slight notes of the unique ingredient like the Night Market Sweats had a hint of savory spice from the chorizo used in the whiskey or the Steve Mansfield had a gentle touch of coffee liquor for the bourbon - just enough to know that it's there but not so much that it dominates the base spirit. The two to three dozen specialty concoctions were playfully designed like the daiquiri had a banana garnish carved into a dolphin or were created around a theme like the negroni menu on a CD (compact disc - you know, that reflective 5" shrunken LP containing digital audio and sold in a plastic folding jewel case that... Oh, never mind). Located in the Klimpton Everly Hotel a couple blocks from Hollywood & Vine, the spacious setting doesn't promote cozy corners but the large and airy lounge seating with floor-to-ceiling windows is inviting.

Go up the staircase in the Everly Hotel's Jane Q restaurant and you'll find yourself in the hip and spacious Ever Bar. Drinks are expensive but well crafted and the bartenders super friendly. I was intrigued at the bar's updated interpretations of "nostalgic" cocktails, and ordered their take on a Sex on the Beach (vodka, egg white, honey vinegar, and peach jam); super sweet but very interesting! The space is quite open, filled with tons of seating, natural light, big comfy-looking sofas, and a pool table. The bar serves food as well, but the menu seemed a tad pricey. Still, the option is there if you need it!

Pretty average upscale bar in LA, but I like the high ceilings, natural lighting depending on the time of day and how it's never crowded. The wine selection is and the cocktails are unique. I appreciate that they don't use cheap liquor in their cocktails. If you're not staying at the Everly Hotel, the valet is $9.90 for 3 hours, which I think is a pretty good deal. However, there's a good amount of free street parking (2 hours) if you don't like to give your car and you're willing to wait a bit for it. I initially came here for the bar, but for those who need a good study spot THIS PLACE IS IT. You have to ask for guest WiFi though. Tons of open seating with different sized tables, comfy sitting chairs and even this semi-closed off area with ridiculously comfy blue lounge-like couches, small tables and outlets...you can get coffee and food, but definitely need to resist the urge to start trying their bomb cocktails. Dog-friendly too! Minus 1 star because of parking. I know...that's mean because it's Hollywood. Hehe.

This is a great hotel bar and if I were a local I would definitely find myself there routinely. The menu has great cocktails options from classic to specialty - and they had plenty of mezcal options which is my personal fave. The bartenders were all super cool and engaged in conversation with everyone sitting at the bar. It was a nice and welcoming vibe. I ordered the cheese pizza to go and it was delicious. Made fresh and super yummy crust. The menu is from their cafe Jane Q downstairs.

Wow Ok. Really chill bar in a brand new hotel here just off Hollywood Blvd north of the Pantagas! Beautiful spot. Great coffee shop in the morning and an awesome Bar! Started off being taken care of by Casey( sorry if I misspelt that) He was a great representation of this chill place. Great vibe and drinks at the bar!!!! Thanks for the good recommendations for good fun! Hamilton at the Pantagas!

There are a thousand bars to visit in Hollywood, and dozens in the Hollywood / Vine area alone. Most of them are crap, or at least super generic. If you're out drinking in the area, make Ever Bar one of your evening stops. This is definitely one of the better places to stop in, whether it's for a quick drink/snack combo or an after-dinner nightcap. The food is good, the drinks are great and the vibe is excellent, but the best part for me is always the service. The bartenders and servers are always pleasant, I never have to wait long for anything and their drinks are always on point. This is a really cool place to go in general, but it's the crew that keep me coming back for sure.

Phenomenal modern space with the open layout of a high-end loft. The location is welcomed and satisfyingly off the typical Hollyhood beaten path. The interior architecture, textures, and materials used really deliver an initial impression that make you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Perfect spot for meetings (I've already had a few here) or to just chill, have a few cocktails and shoot some pool. And the Hotlanta Chicken Sandwich is a proper small bite. Immediately one of my favourite regular haunts in the city. Ever Bar has a properly low key vibe about it at the moment, and hopefully it stays this way and doesn't fall prey to the tinsel-town seasoning that renders most other locales in the vicinity with low-shelf-life syndrome. Get here early enough in the day to have a few bites at Jane Q just below, the Black Truffle Calzone hits the spot.

This place oozes class and sophistication without any snobbery-- if you're lucky to have Seth tending bar ask him for his delicious Vieux Carré cocktail or the light and refreshing Eastside Gimlet

The vibe and atmosphere of this location is awesome! The avocado fries were one of the best things ever. If you want to hang out in Hollywood but away from the hustle and bustle this is the place to be.

Hosted my b-day at Ever Bar this last weekend and we couldn't have been in better hands with Bar Manager Rebecca and our bar staff Megan and Alexis. This place is such a gem and I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional service!

Amazing cocktails, amazing food, beautifully decorated space and classy ambiance. You can't go wrong here and it's great for groups! Walking distance from Hollywood Boulevard which is great. Only drawback is valet is pricey (about $15+tip) and there's limited street parking.

Man, this spot is a great find. We came here specifically for the great reviews on yelp for cocktails. John the bartender did not disappoint. We came to the bar not knowing what to expect, and John asks us what we typically enjoy, and what we might enjoy in a custom cocktail. He hit each custom cocktail out of the park. He addressed every one of our personal tastes with a new twist. John is the best!

Love love love the Ever Bar! My husband & I had our 30th birthday here & it was true perfection. Food is great, drinks are even better! The staff is friendly, fun, & truly know how to make you feel at home! Huge shout out to Charles for being so easy to work with! Love the live music on Saturday night & the beautiful + stylish atmosphere. We can't wait to go back!

I came to the Ever Bar to try the Oscars inspired drinks that they had. It was probably the coolest experience I've had in a long time! Each drink was cooler and more complex than the next! The bartender who created those drinks even talked us through each one to get a better understanding of each drink! I really hope they do more inspired drinks!
