The Arroyo Club

Chill and stylish place to have a few drinks. Decent amount of tables and a few booths inside. There's also a small patio in the back. They have happy hour until 7 everyday. Highlights are the $12 cocktails. They have a small food menu with daily specials. You have to order off the QR menu from your phone and pick up at the window. The food is pretty good. Overall a cool place. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street meter parking or there's a parking lot behind the building.

This place is amazing the ambience is sexy, mature, clean, everything just goes well together . The first green, good , wood, and rustic colors are a whole vibe. We sat inside at first but wanted to take some fresh air and sat on the outside tables and there was shattered glass. I did get cuts on the side of my hand and we did tell one of the ladies which quickly cleaned up the left glass. It was honestly really hard to notice that there was any . She brought me a 🩹 and alcohol wipe to clean my cut . So thank you to the staff . The food was so good . I came on a Wednesday and it was a happy hour slider with fries. I did order it with beyond meat so it was $2 dollars more but so good so tasty . I also met the general manager and he was great .

This used to be cafe birdie and I think they're kinda uncertain if they're a bar or restaurant cause you can get food here tho it's a bar primarily. Drinks were nice and strong; atmosphere dark and chill. I had Blanton's for $21 which is a welcome change from the $45 they charge you downtown. We also ate, I had the jerk chicken sandwich which was ok, a little heavy on the vinegar. She had the short rib which she said was good. They have a very cool budget build -your-own highball which was great plus a pretty interesting drink menu. Definitely worth checking out!

Enjoyed the place as a whole. Cool drinks, and casual vibe. Met with a co-worker here both of would return here. Food was good too. We sat at the bar, bartenders all were friendly and worked great as a team.

this place rocks. atmosphere is top notch and classy. nice variety of seating (booths, stools, patio tables) happy hour til 7pm (on weekdays at least) great late night and good value food options throughout the night.

Arroyo club is awesome! We love coming here and it seems any day is a good time to come. Love the decor, vibe and music choices, and also the different seating areas all have their own vibe depending on what you want. The double smash burgers are exceptional, and the cocktails I've had so far have also been incredibly good. A bit more beer choice (session ipas ?) would be cool :) <3

Brand new spot in highland park. Hip spot for unique cocktails + natural wine. Didn’t realize they had food but they have an awesome burger joint hidden in the back down a small hallway. Full on a Thursday night. Will come back

I hadn’t been in my old neighborhood for a while, so I was surprised to see that Cafe Birdie loved no longer at this space, but this new Arroyo Club looked vibing, so I came in with my friend for a drink. The energy was great, the cocktail menu was inventive, the bartender was friendly and attentive, and our drink order (Arak and a Hard Place) was a lovely change from the typical spirits you find in most cocktails. I’d love to come back to try more items, including the burger that they have on its own limited food menu. 🤌🏼

If I could give zero stars I would. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE RACIALLY PROFILED. It was disgusting what my boyfriend experienced at the hands of the bartender last night. We sat there for 15 minutes with no greeting or taking of our order when there was a handful of people sitting with drinks at the bar. We were the only ones at the bar waiting for him to take our order when he blatantly ignored my boyfriend while he pleasantly and instantly greeted customers who just entered the bar after us (you know what color skin they were). Will never be going here again. Basic midcentury modern designed bar... typical of a non LA native establishment gentrifying the LA culture and city.

Awesome bar that I never really knew was here. I typically never come out to highland park during night hours but figured my buddies and I try something different. The bar is nice, music is good - loud but not loud enough where I can't hear the person in front of me. Luckily this place has a small burger bar (Smash Burger) that's actually pretty decent! Past the burger bar, there is another bar in the back along with an outdoor patio to enjoy your drinks. Even with the two bars and outdoor seating, this place can still get pretty busy. There is public parking in the back and street parking BUT play it smart and Uber!

Love it here, I just wish it was open a little later. The food is surprisingly great and all the speciality cocktails are phenomenal and creative. It's cute inside but I always prefer to go to the outdoor patio between here and good housekeeping.

My new go to place if I'm hankering for wine and smashburgers! I can't believe it took me a long time to discover this place. Obsessed is an understatement. Music, ambiance, and service were just perfect. Good music. Good selection of wine and mixed drinks. Yummy smashburgers and tater tots (speakeasy style). Good service. Outdoor area if you want some quiet and decide to bring your furbaby. Drinks - order at the bar Food - order on the app and pick up on a side window Parking - street Best new "club" in town. Do not share. Haha

I stumbled upon The Arroyo Club on instagram. So, I decided to swing by on their one year anniversary. I can see what all the fuss is 'bout. I had a wedge salad. Yes! They serve salads here. The people next to me at the bar had a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. Who doesn't love a grilled cheese sandwich!? At the bar...... I drank bubbly and since they were celebrating their anniversary they had a flash tattoo artist in the patio. Yeah! I got a tattoo with my salad. The service? Wow! Alejandro is a character in the best way possible. A hoot if you will with love and respect. He knows his stuff! First time here and not my last. I'd give you five stars but considering it's your birthday I don't know that the vibe is always like this and the service this good. Maybe next time. Maybe....... Happy February everyone!

The vibe here is awesome. Very elegant but cozy. The best part is the Happy Hour from 6pm to 7pm on a Saturday! The drinks are very different and creative. I tried the Arak and a Hard Place and it was delicious! The Burger was cooked to perfection and you can never go wrong with Tater Tots. The barkeeper was very nice too. We'll be back!

What a cool spot to hang out on a Saturday afternoon and enjoy some classic cocktails. Excellent service and excellent drinks. Be prepared to spend a little money but the reality is if you want a quality cocktail in this town that's just the way it is now. This place certainly delivers. We will be back.

Time to pull a Madonna with a name change. Formerly known as Cafe Birdie, this place has transformed into a bar. I liked that they had a bar inside as well as outside area. Good Housekeeping and Arroyo Club are both interconnected as they share the same restrooms and credit card machines LOL. When I checked my credit card statement, both transactions stated Cafe Birdie even thought they are both technically two different locations. Be prepared for some strong drinks at this bar. I still prefer Good Housekeeping in the back

Delicious mixed drinks (truly unique) and beautiful mid century modern decor. It's like you walked into another era.

Second time at this bar love the vibes and the drinks I would just say the older gentleman at the bar that's there at night isn't the friendliest and he's rude noticed this both times and don't feel comfortable ordering from him! He definitely doesn't make the place a good experience at all!!!!! The other 2 younger bar servers were great!!!

Music is great, the food was really good and the drinks were very very good. Bartenders is cool, staff is friendly and the ambiance is great all around. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

This is my new favorite bar to recommend. Let me first by saying it's a whole VIBE. This is the kind of place you go for a craft cocktail in a cozy and casual-upscale atmosphere on a weekday night -and I only say this because I have yet to come here on a Friday or Saturday night. I'm here catching up with a friend who's visiting from SF, so I gotta show him the best of LA. It did NOT disappoint.  Lovely lovely interior. I love the cushion booth seating areas, the plants hanging from the ceiling, the hidden back patio past the bathrooms, and the actual bar is elegant and stunning. You can't go wrong taking photos.  Service was outstanding. Our bartender Alejandro (who designed the drink menu) was so nice and made us feel at home. When he left, the other bartender was just as nice and attentive. Such a huge plus to have great service!  Cocktail drinks exceeded my expectations. I ordered two drinks. The first one was "Club Aqua," which is gin based and it comes with a pretty flower. It's not too sweet, but rather balanced with a unique combination of flavors. I never would have thought Yuzu and Hibiscus would be so tasty. YUM. I enjoyed every single sip. The second one is "The Beer" - and this one was so refreshing and tropical because of the rum, kiwi and passion fruit flavors. You barely taste the alcohol, but you know it's there. I'm obsessed! I must come back here again and try everything! I'm giving this bar 5 stars because I have absolutely nothing negative to say. It's great for small groups of 2 to 4, or a romantic date kinda vibe.

I was taking an evening stroll in the neighborhood and noticed something new in the spot where Café Birdie used to be, so I popped in to check it out. The dimly lit ambience emits a warm & welcoming vibe. If you're looking for a romantic date spot. This is it. It's also a great place to hang out with friends or just chill on your own, which is what I did. Same owner different - different concept. With Café Birdie the emphasis was on food. However, The Arroyo Club focuses on delivering the ultimate craft cocktail experience in a lounge style setting. The background music is relaxing and the bartenders are personable and friendly. The food menu is simple. A Burger, Impossible Burger, Grilled Cheese, Fries, & tots. What you're here for are the exquisite cocktails (or mocktails) and the ambience. I arrived during happy hour. The fancy cocktails are not part of the happy hour specials, but margaritas are and that was what I was in the mood for. I love a good craft margarita and this one was perfect. It was nicely balanced and very tasty. Austin, the bartender, was an absolute doll. I'll be honest, I really wasn't a fan of Café Birdie, but The Arroyo Club is definitely my jam!

One of the newest bars in the neighborhood. What a cool spot to hang out at. Is it open seating inside and there's a small back area too. You order at the bar. They have food you can order via online and pick up at the kitchen window. I stayed for a couple of drinks and I had the 'Arak And A Hard Place' which has a touch of pistachio. A little strong from what I usually have, but still good. I also had the 'Club Aqua' which is another strong drink (for my taste) and rimmed with Tajin. The drinks and the place is great. I'd love to come back again.

Cool new spot with a great ambiance! My boyfriend and I got a couple of drinks and food. I got the Club Aqua and he got an Old Fashioned. We also got a Patty Melt and the tater tots with ranch! The drinks weren't terrible but I think they were a little over complicated. The Club Aqua had too many notes going on that didn't quite complement each other and it ended up tasting overly sweet and syrupy. Next time I would skip on the cocktails and just stick to their beer or wine. The food was pretty good! You get a pretty large portion for the price. The tater tots were nice and crispy, not mushy at all! Overall I would definitely go again and recommend checking it out, I just think their cocktails were a little overpriced for what they were.

This is a gorgeous space, with 2 back patios, 2 indoor bars, and lounge seating. The food menu is very limited. I ordered the Impossible burger and didn't take a photo of it but it was sad looking. Unfortunately, they do not carry tomatoes. I had a tomato-less burger. The chef shared that the kitchen is small and run by 1 person so they limit the ingredients they carry. Very minimalist. The mocktail menu looked exciting but unfortunately my mocktail was mostly ice. I had 2-3 sips and it was gone. Surprised, I asked if that was normal and the bartender said yes, unfortunately mocktails hold smaller amounts and are served in shorter glasses, compared to most bars. I appreciated the honesty and they poured in soda water to make me feel better but this is an important detail to share with y'all. Just know if you want just a few sips, get the mocktail. The cocktails seemed to be served at a standard amount. All in all, I would come back only for the vibes. Summary: Ambience 9 Drinks 4 Food 4

Cute vibe in here. Dark bar with lots of seating and food options. Big public parking lot in the back

Wow Neon Demon Mescal: can we say wow what a great experience for a drink and ambience is amazing

Love love this spots thee ambience is what sold me... the colors are everything... The drinks are delicious. Bartenders are all very nice and friendly.

I was visiting the area and I stumbled in this classy bar on a random Wednesday night. This bar is perfect for meeting up with small group of friends or for an after drinks date night. The Arroyo club was a nice and quiet bar where I didn't have yell to have a conversation. The drinks here were top notch. I had the Tio Mio and that was one of the best bourbon old fashion style drinks I've had in a long time. It was nice and smooth with no burn. It was also perfectly balanced. This drink was equal to the drinks I had in New York. Alejandro was our bar tender for the first half of evening and he was super friendly. He made me feel right at home. After he left, Grace took care of us for the remainder of our stay and she was also amazing! I'm giving this spot 5 stars because there is nothing bad about this place and my experience was great. I might just become a regular. I am definitely coming back for the Tio Mio after a long day of work.

Not for me, the cocktail I ordered was undrinkable. It tastes and smells like super bitter chinese medicine. The tator tots were super salty. Overall, a very bad experience.

SUCH a cute bar! Love the ambiance and music. Friendly staff and bartenders. The drinks are great. There are booths and chairs inside as well as outside seating that also connects to another bar in the back. I didn't get to try the food but will next time!

NO SERVICE DRINKS ARE $$$$ expensive, 2 drinks 60$ wtf Food is subpar, all self serve. They have zero customer service. Bar food was over salted, seasoned, plastic serving sets. No where to bus/trash food. No one will buss your table you will sit with your plates and cups the entire time. Drinks can only be purchased at the bar, NO SERVICE!!! Would never go back

Super cool new cocktail bar in highland park. Unique cocktails. Burger station in the back (v good). Great service and atmosphere. Will be back.

Recently came for a date and it's such a sexy vibe + the drinks are delicious with grear service from all of the bartenders.

Definitely a go too. Ambiance is great, drinks are great, definitely chill vibes. Really did it.

Very very slow service. Drinks were good, I liked the Rio Verde, but man, slowest bartenders ever. Seats are super uncomfortable, just like they were when this was cafe birdie

It's a bar. You seat yourself. You order at the bar. You order food from a QR code. You pick up your own food from a window. Fine... no one told us any of this. We walked in, waited, never acknowledged, had to look around to see what everyone else was doing. If you're not going to have staff, at least invest in a sign that lets patrons know how this place works.

Rude bartender, yelled at me for taking a video of my drink. I don't go spend my money to be verbally abused by a bartender. If you don't want videos taken don't be a bartender be a server instead. I wonder if they yell at old white men too?

Could be a cool spot, has potential, but needs to work on service and tact. Walked by with our dog, asked if dogs are allowed, was told they were. We pick a corner and sit down, order drinks. Dog is chillin, hasn't made a peep. Halfway through, one of the guys comes over unapologetically tells us we need to move outside to their Covid era outside patio on a chilly evening. Not really the vibe we were going for. Would've picked one of the many other spots if we knew from the start. Not what we were expecting from a " neighborhood bar". Started on a high and ended up leaving disappointed. Bummer.

Service and ambiance is excellent! We highly recommend this place while you're in LA. They open at 5 pm though. I wished they'd open earlier!!
