"In December 2024, Kiso opened in the long-closed Score space on Fourth between Spring and Main Streets. It’s part of a fresh crip of queer bars in the neighborhood by two residents who live nearby. In fact, Kiso is neighbors with some notable queer Downtown LA bars including New Jalisco Bar, Precinct, and Bar Franca. The full bar also has a dedicated margarita menu." - Rebecca Roland
"Kiso is all business up front … and all party in back. Step inside this DTLA space and you’ll find a fairly low-key bar with a tiny platform stage. Head through the back curtain and you’ll stumble into a disco-lit lounge area with Frida Kahlo on the wall. Then head through another curtain to find a sweaty dance floor that hosts DJ sets, dance parties, and A-lister drag shows. Kiso is a fun choose-your-own-adventure bar, and just as importantly, fills a much-needed role in Downtown’s queer nightlife scene." - brant cox
