"You have more in common than a love of mouth-numbing spice? Great. Head over to Know Where Bar, a vastly underrated spot on Hollywood Blvd. The long space feels sort of like a jungle-themed bar from the ’70s, complete with palms, bright green walls, and a gold ceiling. Oh, and the drinks are strong. You might need them after all that chili oil." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox
"Welcome to LA’s bus stop. Nowhere in Hollywood will you find a wider variety of human beings than at this classic dive. Directly next door to The Pantages Theatre and open since the 1930s, this is where struggling Silver Lake musicians rub shoulders with Hollywood executives and lost theatergoers buy spoken-word EPs from dudes in kabuki makeup. Anything’s possible at Frolic Room, and everyone’s here to enjoy the same dirt-cheap drinks and do-whatever-the-hell-you-want atmosphere." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
"The cocktail list at Know Where Bar looks like it was pulled from a speakeasy during Prohibition - meaning you probably won’t find anything infused with jalapeño or cilantro. This is a tiny, tropical-themed spot that fills up on weekends, but on weeknights, you’ll find a mix of dates and groups of friends catching up over martinis and listening to live music." - brant cox, brett keating
"Nowhere in Hollywood will you find a greater variety of human beings than at this dive. Located directly next to The Pantages on Hollywood Blvd., Frolic Room has been around since the 1930s and is a place where you can find broke musicians drinking next to studio execs and lost theatergoers wondering why they just bought an indie folk album from Dora The Explorer. Anything is possible at Frolic Room, and everyone’s here to enjoy the same cheap drinks and unhinged atmosphere." - Brant Cox
"We like The Know Where because it’s a Hollywood bar where you can always depend on a local crowd, zero lines, and good drinks that don’t cost $18. Plus, on those nights when you just need to hang with a friend and bemoan how terrible you both are at dating, Know Where always seems to have an empty table waiting." - brant cox
