A Running List of Los Angeles Restaurant Closures in 2024 - Eater LA

"Located in the former Skylight Theatre rehearsal space, swanky Los Feliz bar Pinky’s closed on April 28 with an announcement on Instagram. Founders Beau Laughlin and Jay Milliken opened the well-designed space next to their former restaurant Atrium, which closed in January 2024." - Eater Staff

The 17 Best Restaurants In Los Feliz - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"There's no such thing as a "typical night at Pinky's" because the crowd and overall vibe depend on who's behind the DJ decks. Here’s what you can expect: a sleek, turquoise-tiled bar that pours delicious cocktails, like a negroni that's zhuzhed up with basil and an extra tart tequila sour with yuzu. This is also Los Feliz's clubbiest spot, so there will be dancing (in a tiny space) with a soundtrack that might be anything from 90's R&B to bossa nova." - Sylvio Martins, Brant Cox

LA’s Best New Bars Of 2019 - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Pinky’s just opened in November, but it’s quickly become one of our favorite places to drink on the Eastside. Not only because the crowd is very cool, very attractive, and very rowdy, but because the drinks are genuinely great. They’ve got a coconut, tequila, and Licor 43 cocktail served in a Capri Sun pouch that will remind you of your childhood (only with way more booze), and the Drunk Commitments, a tiki-ish rye and Madeira drink served with a cinnamon bubble on top, which smells like Christmas when you pop it. They’re also open until 2am every day, and have someone playing records most nights, so if you’re looking for a place to get lively on a Tuesday, this is it." - Brant Cox, Kat Hong, Brett Keating

Pinky’s last night had an incredible DJ, but it’s pretty wild how small this place is. Dancing is very difficult when you’re limited by the dimensions of the space itself. With that said, had a delicious gin and tonic and would consider coming back when I’m in the area.

3.5 Stars. It’s a nice cozy spot that feels like a transitional spot before hitting the next one. Whether you were out eating a late meal on the street or watching a movie, it’s always fun to drop in for a drink. The thing is they really need to update their menu. I’ve been going there for a while and mostly stick to the same drinks but wish they would actually develop something new. It’s a convenient spot, clean and chill. I just think knit can be even better.

Art deco, Miami vibe, great drinks and interesting space. Atrium right next door with plenty of food choices. Definitely worth a visit.

Went here on a Thursday... Bartender was extremely cool & nice. Music was disco-y & pretty obvious considering the area on that front & the DJ didn't really know how to blend properly but that's par for the course I. Los Feliz. Either way, I'd come back on a different night. 3 stars only for the lack of musical diversity.

I live in Los Feliz and went for the first time to this place in 2021 and I loved it! Then I've been going with my friends several times but tonight it was impossible! The music was so loud that even the bartender couldn't hear what we were ordering.

Okay, the Manhattan drink was the best tasting. But then that's the only drink I had.😆 The bartender, Pete, was kind, friendly, and chill (unlike one of female bartenders). Loved his dance moves, btw. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the Saturday night dj. He played very short clips of a song and quickly mixed in the next. It's like the vibe started and quickly taken away.😌 All an all, it was the laughter to our night...

Great drinks, very unique and original. Cool 80's vibes and friendly bartenders.

Love this place. It’s pretty small, so I enjoy going on nights when it’s not too busy. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. I like the decor and ambiance.

Ok let me start by sharing that there is a pot of gold at the of the tunnel! And it's called Bar One! The place is full of character, nice music and a nice selection of drinks. Will definitely be coming back!

If you go, sit at the bar and ask for a dealers choice...trust me. They'll ask you what spirit you like, if you want it spirit forward and what flavor profile you like and they'll create the perfect drink for you. The bar manager there is a master of his craft and made me my own drink called...The Daniel. Ask for it if you like mezcal and you won't be disappointed! The place is very intimate and they have a pretty good looking food menu and their cocktail list is on point! I'm definitely going back for different iterations of The Daniel lol

Literal hole in the wall place! Stumbled upon this bar after the Dresden was too packed but Bar One had a more inviting atmosphere. Drinks are creative, the wagyu fries were amazing and a great portion!

Tried the Thai me down The Vermont And the roji. Feels like a place that doesn't always get packed so reliable in always grabbing a seat. Super fire. All the drinks were perfectly balanced. The waiter was attentive. Great place to chat with your friends, super casual place to hang and chill. Would recommend to friends

Very welcoming service. Street parking available. Only the bar with limited food open presently but soon there will be an adjacent restaurant opening. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Asian vibe cocktails and full bar with wine program coming when the restaurant opens.

Grumpy bartender, premade / batched cocktails. Very Cold crispy rice spicy tuna. No ginger offered at an Asian restaurant? Also, poured me 1/2 a martini. Odd experience. Maybe it was an off night because it's the day after Xmas. But definitely not worth it... they charged me for someone else bill to top it off

Everything about this cozy Los Feliz bar is a hit for me. The vibes are good, customer service from all the bartenders have knocked it out of the park, and the drinks are exceptional. The crew is really amazing, and I can always trust I'll enjoy a good Dealer's Choice. The Kopi and Vermont always are hits as well as the Crispy Rice and Wings. Definitely will be back!

A cute new spot. They have seating down the alleyway and then the entrance is on the left. Really cool place with a large drink menu and great service. However the tables inside were so low it was uncomfortable to sit at with the height of the chairs. They just did not go together. The tables outside looked like they would be more comfortable.

Stumbled in here after a great dinner down the street at Mirate on a date. Place is so new it doesn't come up Google just happened to see it on here! Anyways their last call is early right now at midnight as they're still in their soft launch phase, and we walked in a little after 12am. But the bartender was so cool he hooked us up still anyways. The drinks were very good and it's a nice cozy vibe tucked away in the small alleyway. One of the managers was there late and shook our hands and invited us to come back once they've opened even more (including sushi next door too apparently!). Bar One seems like a great addition to the neighborhood and can't wait to stop back by. Don't sleep y'all, check them out!

This place is great! Bartender really knows what their doing over there. Drinks were amazing and I really did not provide much direction and the drinks came out better than what I had asked for. The sushi was incredible! The sauce, the freshness, everything was so good!

Best drink selection in Los Feliz. As a Los Feliz long time resident of 17 years, missed Pinky's, but am glad Bar One is here now. Great cocktails infused with Japanese and American Flavors. Reminds me of Far Bar in Little Tokyo, but with class and catered towards locals in the Village. Great service by bartenders Nate and Alex. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Alex the bartender is literally the best bartender ever. If you're looking for dealer's choice and a cheeky conversation he's your guy :) My favorite is The Vesper. Give it a try!

My new favorite bar! The ambience and staff are definitely what will keep bringing me back. I tried Kopi and it was so good. I am a sucker for espresso martinis and I would say this is one of my favorite espresso martinis I've tried. I sat inside but I can't wait to sit outside next time.

If you're searching for your new favorite hangout, look no further than bar one newest gem in town. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by a vibe that strikes the perfect balance between modern sophistication and cozy charm. And one of the greatest bar food on town and they will be opened late after grand opening

I know many Los Feliz locals may be saddened by the closure of Pinky's but this gem of a neighborhood bar has been replaced with Bar One and this will cure any heartbreak you may have. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting--they still have the DJ booth, got rid of the wall (extending the dance floor) & disco ball is still thriving! But the peak of this experience was the out of this world customer service. Alex and Brian will make you feel right at home. The drinks are simply phenomenal. They are he real stars here. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with a recommendation, they truly make you feel like a regular, even on your first visit.They clearly know their craft; every cocktail is perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. Whether you're into classic options or creative new concoctions, they'll whip up something that hits the spot. The Fuego and Blossom were absolute top tier! The food? Equally amazing. The menu offers a great variety, and everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and downright delicious. You can tell they put as much thought into the food as they do the drinks. Highly recommend the avocado on crispy rice & the spicy tuna on crispy rice If you're looking for a spot with incredible drinks, fantastic food, and top-notch service, this is IT! %

We ended there last night and what a surprise! Love the concept of Asian fusion that Bar one brings to Vermont, cocktails are truly mind blowing and creative. No amateur game here. Oh yeah and if you need a snack ? They got you covered as well ! Take a bite of the crispy tuna rice. Ambiance is really chill, perfect for date nights, away from the craziness of this world perfect little bubble ! Now I'm dreaming of my next Kopi cocktail, well done Bar One ! I would be back really soon !

Randomly found this gem on Yelp and visited with a couple of my girlfriends. It was a busy Friday night but the service was top-notch! I got the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and it was really good! Perfectly fresh and tender inside but nice and crispy outer side. I tried the Asian Pear Mule and it was sooo good! I'm gonna need to go back just for the cocktail next time. My friends got the Blossom and the alley and they both enjoyed it. Such a pleasant found! We'll be coming back soon :)

Perfect, date spot! Had the opportunity to get in during the soft opening and the vibes were incredible. My girlfriend and I started off with the Spicy Tuna Rice Cake and absolute chef's kiss. We got an LA sour and a Japanese sour as well and those were incredible as well. Shout out to Nate our bartender for amazing service and always making sure we're taken care of. Definitely worth a visit especially for a date!

Such an awesome vibe. Bar One apparently takes over an old hole in a wall and turns it into such a vibey spot for awesome mixed drinks and tasty food. The bartender Alex keeps things light and he and his staff make some amazing tasting cocktails. 10/10 would recommend. Such a great addition to the areas bars/entertainment.
