Spirit House Echo Park

This is my favorite bar in echo park. I brought a friend who had never been here before. John welcomed us as soon as we walked in. Gave us a thorough run down of the craft cocktails and bar spirits. He was patient and very knowledgeable about the cocktails. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I will be coming back very soon!

Secret tiki clubhouse vibes attached to Sticky Rice. It's cozy, it's low-lit, it feels comfy and a little exotic.

Excellent vibe! Great music and it smelled of incense. (Didn’t eat here though for personal reasons but we had fun!)

Lawrence is truly a master at his craft. Very knowledgeable on spirits, and knows how to make someone feel at home! Loved the space, wished I wasn’t full so I could I could’ve tried some food, but that just gives me another reason to come back!

Lawrence is the best bartender. He is very friendly and attentive!

This place… ROCKS!!! Have come here a few times and it never disappoints! You have to try the Thai tea gimlet!

We hung out at the bar and our bartender Eric was very accommodating and has great recommendations. The drinks are lit

This is my favorite place in LA! Amazing ambiance, food is delicious and the team is just incredible! Mack, Emma and Zoey are the best. Definitely recommend

Had heard about this bar and, with it close to where I live, decided to check it out. First, it has been labeled as hidden bar within the restaurant, Sticky Rice. But, when you walk in to Sticky Rice, you can see right into the bar, so it really isn't hidden. Honestly, the bar felt like just an extension of the restaurant, with a small bar holding around eight stools to sit at, though there are tables and chairs around to have food from the restaurant. We grabbed a couple drinks, the Tiffy Painkiller and Mai Tai. The painkiller was actually pretty good, basically being a version of a Pina Colada. The Mai Tai also has good flavor to it, so we were hair with the drinks. We also tried the Mango Sticky Rice which was better than I thought it would be, a good dessert type item. But the overall ambiance was fairly lackluster with the bar trying to bring about a tiki vibe with the rest of the seating area not following suit. Just felt disjointed. Overall, decent drinks from the two we tried but the place, as a whole, just felt like it could be so much better. Go for the drinks but don't pay attention to anything else

Bartenders are super nice and cool people. The cocktails are amazing! The vibe is very hip but relaxed!

The secret is to grab a seat at the bar order some great food but don't miss their riff on a Saturn.

This is one of the best hidden gems in Echo Park, from the atmosphere, to the customer service, to the overall experience, I have consistently gone here and always, had a wonderful time. The staff are extremely kind, friendly, and welcoming. The drinks are delicious. I recommend going in while Dawa is working- he has a lot of knowledge on artisan cocktails and can make you some really interesting, unique, one of a kind drinks. I consistently have had amazing conversations with people from all walks of life here, it is refreshing to make friends with strangers, and share stories and experiences. Absolutely come here if you like Thai Food, Tiki Style bars, very well made cocktails, and a good time.

A fantastic bar. Intimacy is a hard place to find these days in LA. I was able to have a heart to heart conversation here. The drinks were on point. The bartender was very good at his craft. Really nice vibe as well in entering the bar, as it it's a partitioned off from the main dining area. Great private chill vibes.

Nice service, cute atmosphere. Great place for a cozy little hangout. The food they had were just snacks. I did eye the hotdogs, but didn't try them.

Spirit House left a bit more to be desired. For $20 including tip, I was served my cocktail in a plastic stemless cup instead of proper glassware. The service was dry and left more to be desired as far as hospitality expectations and personality of the bartender. It was not at all welcoming nor friendly.

A hidden gem located inside sticky rice restaurant. Behind the red velvet curtains you go from cuisine to nightlife. The bar open up late last summer and is equipped with a disco ball, a long list of specialty cocktails, and stage for bands/ entertainment. It can be a little loud like most bars but they have a good amount of seating inside and with the music and variety of drink options, it can make for a good night out with friends and company. Both drinks were packed with flavor and were great amount of drink for their prices!

Um ok this place is vibey and the Sabai Fizz is off the hook! Cool bartenders, good times. I think this is my new favorite bar in Echo Park!

This hidden bar is the vibe!!! Patrick the bartender rocks. Go eat at Sticky Rice and grab a drink next door. Worth it.

"If you go into the Sticky Rice place and then go left through red curtains, you're there" - text from my friend (and also exact instructions on how to find this cool little cocktail bar in Echo Park) Honestly, a vibe! Checked out this new spot for a friend's show and was pretty smitten with the space. Love the wooden ceiling, disco ball, cool light fixtures, and awesome glassware. It's small and narrow with a stage up front and a bar in the back--definitely a spot for an intimate show or drinks with one person. Lovely cocktail list and Singha on tap (yes and yes!). I'm not drinking right now and they made me a little seltzer and dash of bitters and lime in a nice glass. What a dream! Check their Instagram for upcoming shows, DJ nights, and other happenings. I will say, parking in this area is totally insane and I 100% got a ticket down the street on Lemoyne. Be better than me and read the signs (or better yet, take an Uber and have an extra cocktail). Worth checking out for sure!

Strong and clever cocktails. Chill vibe. Good music. Came here whilst waiting for the forever Masa wait. You should do this. Recommend the Paper Planes.
