Neighborhood bar with draft beers, cocktails, slushies, and patio
"Early Sunday morning I read that Los Angeles police arrived at the Holiday Bar in Boyle Heights and found two women and four men suffering from gunshot wounds after what an LAPD spokesperson described as a verbal dispute that escalated into a physical altercation." - Mona Holmes
"A cozy Boyle Heights neighborhood spot offering a mix of danceable oldies, soul, R&B, and Spanish tunes alongside understated bar service; cheap Tecate and Modelo cans, on-tap Moscow mules, and slushy cocktails make it a flexible hangout for everything from a Dodger game to a casual night out." - Eater Staff
"A Boyle Heights bar displays a tribute mural produced by the artist known as Downtown Daniel, contributing to the neighborhood's series of public memorial artworks." - Mona Holmes
"Opened in mid-May, this neighborhood drinking spot on Whittier Boulevard — slightly east of the 5 Freeway near Soto Street — was spearheaded by former Verdugo Bar veteran David Kiralla, who named it Holiday Bar to honor his grandfather. Kiralla gutted the former La Cita space and refashioned the U-shaped, 2,300-square-foot bar to feel slightly old-school but still modern; it fits roughly 80 people and includes a patio. With backing from The Surly Goat and Verdugo Bar’s Goat Group, the bar offers eight rotating brews on tap (which could include a cider, pilsner, hefeweizen, a Lagunitas pale ale, an IPA and Negro Modelo); cans of Tecate run $4 and Modelo $5. Kiralla also put two cocktails on draft — a Moscow Mule and an Old Fashioned — and bartenders make a vodka-based slushy called the Big Stick. Snacks include Hot Cheetos at the bar, and a taco vendor often serves just outside. The vibe centers on watching Dodgers games while listening to oldies, funk, soul, R&B or Spanish-language music, and Kiralla emphasizes building ownership for longevity and a personal presence. Hours are Monday–Saturday 5 p.m.–2 a.m. and Sunday 1 p.m.–2 a.m." - Mona Holmes
