"We love Resident because no matter what you’re looking to get into on any given day, you can find it at this indoor/ outdoor bar in the Arts District that doubles as a music venue. If you’re looking to casually drink outside and flirt with the dog next to you, Resident’s patio opens every day at noon with a bar inside an Airstream and water misters to keep your body temperature under control. But if the night is ripe for some dancing, head inside where there’s always a DJ/band lighting up the stage." - brant cox
"If all bars were more like Resident, the world would be a better place—or at least an easier place to drink in. That might be high praise, but it doesn’t take long to understand what this Arts District bar gets right. For one, it’s almost entirely outdoors (there's an excellent live music/dance venue inside). Second, the outside bar is located in an Airstream and the cocktails and beer list are fantastic. Third and most importantly, the whole place feels like you’re hanging out in someone’s cool city backyard. The atmosphere is fun and laid back, and there are even water misters to keep you cool on scorching days." - brant cox
"Barbecues are an excellent place to meet people. But your Weho studio balcony can barely fit you and your cat, let alone a whole party. So use Resident in the Arts District as your personal outdoor barbecue—without the actual barbecue. You order drinks from an Airstream trailer, and then head into the back, where there are long benches to sit next to friendly, laid-back strangers at the fire pits. The attached music venue is a good place to dance with that person whose haircut you were skeptical of at first, but now you’re realizing is kinda cute." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
"Maybe you had an off-site work event in a retrofitted warehouse or an afternoon power cleanse yoga class that went late and you don’t want to sit in traffic. Either way, it’s 4pm and you’re stranded in the Arts District. Resident, the beer garden/music venue/all-day hang space, needs to be your go-to where drinks start getting poured at noon everyday and at 10am on Sundays. They have an excellent beer list, good cocktails, and water misters on the patio for when the afternoon sun starts raging." - brant cox
"After three failed first dates, things are off to a rough start this semester. Time to change things up. Deep in the Arts District, Resident should definitely be considered a bar, but one that has date night glory written all over it. For one, it’s almost entirely outdoors. The bar is in an Airstream and the long community tables are ideal for not getting stuck in a dark corner with nothing to talk about. There’s a rotating list of food trucks on the premises when you both get hungry, and there’s even live music happening inside most nights. You’re welcome." - brant cox
