"The menu at this industrial spot is an ever-changing list of inventive cocktails, but the main draw at Harvard & Stone is the entertainment. This Thai Town bar does live music the majority of the week, with a blues or rock band playing up front near the entrance. Although it's usually low-key, it’s always more fun than you’d think. People here aren’t afraid to get down on the makeshift dance floor and things can get downright wild if you stick around for one of their late-night DJ sets. " - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Somehow, there are two bars doing burlesque on the same block of Hollywood Blvd., and both are highly worth your time. Harvard & Stone has burlesque on weekends, and watching performers do acrobatics on the catwalk is a great way to spend a night. But the best part of Harvard & Stone is that there are a lot of great ways to spend a night here: watching the rockabilly bands that perform nightly, drinking the deadly strong cocktails, and hanging at the back bar, which is technically outdoors (but really doesn’t feel like it), making it practically the only place in LA where you can smoke cigarettes inside. OK, maybe that doesn’t sound like a positive, but you’ll be thankful for it at 1am on a Saturday." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, kat hong, brett keating
"The menu at this industrial spot is an ever-changing list of insane cocktails, but the main draw at Harvard & Stone is the live music, with a blues or rock band playing up front almost every night. You kind of feel like you’re dancing in the sewers here, and that’s way more fun than you think." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
"Harvard & Stone is a dive bar in Thai Town that might have the best non-alcoholic cocktails in LA. They range from the Baby’s First Bourbon (basically a non-alcoholic Old Fashioned), to the Honeydew Collins, with lime juice, coconut milk, and Seedlip citrus. But that’s not even the main reason this is such a fun place to come when you’re not drinking. They’ve got a back bar where they let you smoke (it’s actually outside), live music every night, and an impressive burlesque show in the catwalk above the bar on weekends. You’ll only think you’re drunk." - brett keating
"Any place that lets you stand at the bar and smoke is a certifiable sh*tshow. But that only makes us love Harvard & Stone more. Things get wild at both the (technically outdoor) “R&D” bar and inside, where on weekends there’ll be super-talented burlesque dancers walking the catwalk above (and sometimes on top of) the bar. And when the dancers aren’t performing, there’s a DJ playing records while the crowd mixes it up and drinks good cocktails. And don’t worry - the entire actual inside is totally smoke-free." - brett keating
