Real Charmer

Any spot that devotes an entire menu page to each cocktail already has my respect (as if my respect is worth a damn) Drinks were strong and unique (like my loving wife, my one and only!) and while I didn’t LOVE them (but I do love my wife), I appreciated the creativity. Anise in the Midsommar drink was a bit overpowering and I’m not the biggest fan of licorice. Sesame highball was perfect if you love sesame. But I’ll come back and try a couple others. Most importantly? FREE popcorn! 🍿 no but seriously I went up and got like 9 little boats of refills and people started to look at me with real judgy eyes. SHUT UP and let me enjoy my popcorn. It’s all I have. Things in 2025 have been going pretty terrible personally I don’t wanna get into it but the vibes here are cool!

Adorable new classy cocktail bar. Very well crafted unique selection. Smoking patio and the most gorgeous decor. Music is romantic/ chill. Come on down!

Real Charmer lives up to the name—it’s a busy, cute late-night spot with tons of personality. Their take on the martini was absolutely delicious, and I loved the creativity and phrasing on their drink menu. It’s playful, well-crafted, and just a fun place to be. Perfect for a nightcap with character!

Completely falsely named 😂 I walked in here as a 100 foot distance neighbor, and an obviously (done up) gay male neighbor at that, I was hoping to make this a regular spot to stop in for drinks and socializing… seeing two female bartenders I immediately felt safe and comfortable, but that completely changed when we started to interact. I was treated like a problem from the moment I walked through the door, was condescended to by the bar patrons as well as the 2 bartenders because I assume they thought I was hitting on them? It was an extremely odd vibe, and every time I attempted to engage in conversation or even ask questions like “cash or credit tip preferred?” I was gawked at like some strange spectacle. I had high hopes for this place based on reviews but they are absolutely NOT gay friendly especially for single gays…

New fave local watering hole. Lowkey classy and delicious cocktails. Unique vibes, give it a go. I promise you’ll dig it!

10/10 Negroni 100/10 daiquiri (literally how did you do that). We are coming back until we taste our way through the menu, everything was insane! All of the little touches (we were geeking over ice cubes - what). Immaculate vibes, staff was so nice. We'll def be back earlier to beat the crowd and to try out the musubi x martini situation :) this is the only stupid photo I got but I'm adding it anyways for engagement and bc I loved the idea of bad mouth even tho rumplemintz is terrifying

Went on a Tuesday early evening and had no wait, as I can imagine this smaller bar could get packed on weekends. My group loved their creative cocktails and the low lit ambiance.

Cozy neighborhood bar. Cocktails were good and reasonably priced. The vibe is super chill. The bartenders are nice and will even make small talk with you. It’s the worst when you get an unfriendly bartender, but that was not the case here!

Walked in on a whim, and very glad we did! Very pleasant ambiance, and decor. Impressive craft cocktail menu, truly unique flavors and bartenders clearly treat it as a craft. Free popcorn was a nice treat as well ;) Will be coming back!

Loved the menu options and creativity given to cocktails. Our group tried a bunch of- the early grey infused bourbon was the groups favorite but I much preferred the sesame cocktail inspired by Japan. The Thai Bay - which is tequila basil carrot aperol was the least exciting to me. There was karaoke in a Tuesday night which was equal parts annoying and entertaining.

Fantastic cocktail and free popcorn is excellently buttered and salted. Not too much. Just enough butter and salt. Love that so much. My girlfriend says I need to talk about the cocktails too so I am saying right now they are really great. The ambience is swanky and cool. So is the popcorn. So cool.

My most favorite walkable neighborhood haunt. Always vibes, every single drink is literally incredible & made with love! And all the bartenders are so sweet, cool and knowledgeable. And we mustn't forget POPCORN!!!

Very good cocktails and fun ambiance. Went for a bday and it was great! They have popcorn too.

Fantastic service. Super friendly staff. Nice variety of very nice cocktails. Small selection of bites and free popcorn. If you live anywhere around here just walk over, and check it out. I love that it has a super non-descript frontage but the interior vibe is impressively curated. You won't be mad you stopped in.

couldn't be cuter inside and the cocktails are delicious. the #5 was my favorite . small but beautifully appointed with such attention to detail. and bar snacks! i hope it doesn't blow up and become impossible to get a table. it's small! and has a small lot in the back!

Great drinks, fun environment. It can get quite crowded the later you get there, so I recommend going earlier and grabbing a table.

So good. Thrilled to have a neighborhood bar of this quality in the old Bolita/Smog Cutter space. Quality alcohol with imaginative mixology. In a familiar but not the same/same space. 5 stars

Craft cocktails and handful of nosh items. But did I mention FREE POPCORN? Moody space that gives a great neighborhood bar vibe.

vic & maggie are amazing! incredible cocktail program. knowledgeable & friendly staff

Good drinks. Cool vibe. Definitely some AI music on the playlist though. Once you notice it the great vibe kinda disappears to a sketchy dystopian one. Maybe thats ur thing tho!

Love this new joint. It's a perfect indie bar, solid date spot with a cute patio. Drinks are solid, bar tenders are solid. I truly don't think I'll ever have a bad experience here. Just the perfect spot.

Their cocktail menu is one of the most interesting in the city, while remaining one of the most approachable. Bartenders are quick, friendly, and consistent. Tuesday karaoke here is a blast.

Premium craft cocktails at normal prices. Original drinks with classics that have a spin put on them as well. Bartenders happily serve drinks with engaging conversation. The theme of the bar is matched with fitting upbeat tunes. As someone who has lived in the neighborhood their whole life, I recommend this bar to everyone. Definitely a bar worth going out of your way for!

If you're not white or look hipster enough then you'll struggle to get a drink here we waited for 30 mins and left .

This place rocks. I loved the craft cocktails (gorgeous) and the service was amazing - so friendly and kind, even the other patrons were fun! I loved that there's complimentary popcorn (slay) and I truly felt like this bar has its own personality - it felt alive. Will be back 100%

Glad the previous bar Bolita turned into another cool bar in the neighborhood! Staff were incredibly nice and helpful. Drinks were great. My one slight tiff is given the neighborhood it's in, all cocktails are quite expensive. In a neighborhood that has been gentrifying quite fast the last few years this new spot is not the most financially accessible bar at their current drink prices. Hoping they add a happy hour soon because as someone walking distance from here my wallet cannot also afford frequent trips here as much as I'd like :)

Amazing new local bar. The staff was so fun and service was quick. The drinks and vibes were perfect. Great time with friends

Great venue and drinks, but fair warning the parking is atrocious - had to park 0.4 miles away, which was a 10 +min walk. Worth Ubering to

Wonderful room! Wonderful cocktails! Great addition to the neighborhood and Los Angeles. Gives the vibe of your favorite neighborhood bar. Bartenders were amazing and so knowledgeable. Thank you!!
