First time visiting The Eight Bar inside Whole Foods DTLA, and I can honestly say it won’t be my last. Tucked inside the bustling Whole Foods in downtown Los Angeles, The Eight Bar offers a surprising oasis of craft drinks and great vibes. I came in not really knowing what to expect, but the friendly staff made the experience easy, relaxed, and enjoyable from the start. One of the best parts? They actually let us sample a few drinks before committing to a full order. That’s something you don’t experience every day, especially in a downtown setting. The bartender was super patient and knowledgeable—offering recommendations based on our taste preferences and walking us through a few house favorites. After a few sips and thoughtful suggestions, I found the perfect drink that hit just right. It was well-balanced, refreshing, and clearly made with quality ingredients. You can tell they care about the drinks they serve here. But what really stood out to me was the top-tier customer service. The energy and attentiveness of the staff truly elevate the entire experience. Whether you’re stopping by after grocery shopping, looking for a casual meet-up spot, or just need a quick break from the downtown rush, The Eight Bar makes you feel welcome. I’ll definitely be returning—and next time, I might even bring a few friends along. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area! 🍸👏 788 S Grand Ave Los Angeles, CA 90017 United States wholefoodsmarket.com +1 (213) 873-4745 Delivery Outdoor parking Parking lot Pets welcome Free WiFi Gender neutral bathrooms Accepts credit cards Accept contactless payments.

Chill spot to grab a delicious drink or have a satisfying meal. I've had the BBQ chicken sandwich many times and it's always been on point. They have a rotating beer selection which I enjoy frequently.

Always enjoy coming here and the two hour validation is a plus. With beer on tap being rotated periodically, the variation isn't stagnant. I've tried multiple items on the food menu and they're all fairly tasty. The fish n chips and burger are my go-to. Crowd is fairly chill and it doesn't get annoyingly busy. If you plan on bar hoping in DTLA this would be a good spot to start from as there's other good bars within walking distance.

Definitely geared towards whole food customers. With local California beers on tap, decent selection of wines and lots of sprits to choose from. Don't expect a anything more then a cookie cutter environment, but the food especially the calamari set the bar above the adverage downtown LA bar. Still feels a bit out of place, but the bar tenders seemed knowledgeable and nice. I would recommend it to grab a bite to eat and pregame before a night out. Some of the drinks and food are a bit pricey, but happy hour seems give a decent decent discount.

Not a bad little pub - it's tagged on to whole foods so you can get some snacks from whole and beers from here. They have around 30 beers on tap so I am sure you will find something you like and salads, burgers and some other pub grub. Had the salad and added chicken which was ok.

Reviewing drinks and facilities only. There is a bar, communal tables in the center, and counter-like seating along the windows where you can people watch. They have food available for ordering and eating in. They sell mixed cocktails in a can. It was $5 for the margarita, can easily get two pours from the can. They have alcohol behind the bar but I'm not sure if the bottles are for display only or if they pour shots, it wasn't clear to me. Hate to say that the restrooms were not very clean. The ones in WF are waaaay cleaner and you don't need a code to get into the john.

A nice place to have a pint, watch a game or hust chill while the better 1/2 shops at Whole Foods... Or, if single....all the above either before or after shopping at Whole Foods. Great beer tap selection, and decent food. A great place to take a break...

It's nice to have a little drink before shopping, the service is great and it's cozy. You can grab a bite from the hot bar and come watch the game or order some small bites. Nothing fancy but also nothing to complain about here.

Stopped by on my lunch and let me tell you, their fish and chips deal was delicious. $12 special for this big meal AND a beer! Score!!! Erick/C.K, thanks for the hospitality and great service! First time here but definitely not our last. Ps/ $1 oysters on Fridays. Can't beat that.

I have been a couple times in the last few months after not having gone for a bit in a few years. Used to love the cauliflower nachos but also liked the other items I tried more recently -- hope they bring those back. I really liked when I went and I tried to go a few days ago and it appeared to be closed -- chairs up, etc. during a time that was within its business hours. Unfortunate as I then instead went to another place. Hopefully there will be more consistency with the posted hours so that doesn't continue.

Went for a bite to eat recently before a show. Staff said they were closing early but she accommodated us. Speaking to another couple there, they said it's not the first time. Management won't staff the restaurant properly. Had to eat and run-not much fun. We went next door for an unrushed beer.

Good Bar I don't appreciate being harassed because I have my dog with me if you're going to confront someone with the dog about service papers ask everyone with dogs! Don't just confront me that is unfair and I don't appriciate it as a person with actual service dog paperwork

I visited this location because I had a friend who was working in property management at the building next door and though we could grab a quick bite close to where she worked. This Its my second time here. The first time I had picked out something from the Whole Foods selection to take to the restaurant to eat which is permitted. The second time, I had their Smoked Salmon Benedict Bowl, and it was delicious. its not on the menu on their website, but on location, it was available to order from the back side of their Happy Hour menu that they were passing out. Its made from smoked alderwood salmon lox with two poached effs, roasted tomatoes, red onion, fried capers and hollandaise sauce over crispy hash browns. Parking is available in the building which can be validated at Whole Foods. There is very few metered street parking available for up to 4 hours at a time. Its a very fun, chill, trendy and friendly environment with crowds of artistic, corporate and outgoing vibes. It is surrounded by tourists from nearby hotels and apartments, workers from local stores and artists that roam and capture the scenery. Its at a busy and bustling intersection, but inside, its relaxing for its high ceilings and ambient lights. Definitely another visit for me.

This review is for cocktails and facilities only. Located at the corner of W. 8th and S. Olive, this is a convenient "watering hole" for the neighbourhood. You can enter from both the street and Whole Foods Market. There is a bar, communal tables in the center or counter-like seating along the windows where you can people watch. They don't pour mixed drinks, but sell mixed cocktails that come in a can. They have alcohol behind the bar but I'm not sure if they are for display only or if they pour shots, it wasn't clear to me. Hate to say that the restrooms were not too clean. The ones in WF are waaaay cleaner and you don't need a code to get into the john. There is 90 minute validated parking, find the machine in the market.

The customer service by the bar tender is amazing! The guy was chill and friendly. I ordered a Moscow Mule and truffle fries and both were on point! The Moscow Mule is from a can which I thought was questionable but it was so good! Paired with the hot truffle fries that had a crisp outer layer and airy fluffy potato inside covered in parm and truffle made a perfect combo. I highly recommend this place! 10/10 a must try!

It's not a bad Bar for drinks and some food but an owner stop hiring good employees . May be money issue. 12/07/22 There was a costumer threat from the employee for eating at the Bar. "Either you buy a drink or I will call security . I'm giving you a minute to decide" Manager understood the problem but tried to fight in the begging back. DCA will not be informed or Health department at this time but the owner must change these issues. Also Whole Foods advises that the costumers that bought food from them can eat at the bar. No signs about any rules are posted. No DCA rules in doing business in regards to their costumers complaints.

I like to consider myself a grocery store bar connoisseur, as I have been to very many. I'd be lying if I said I don't go out of my way to try them. While The Eight Bar definitely has some positives, it falls flat in certain aspects. Located inside of the Whole Foods in DTLA, the location cannot be beat. The ambiance is top notch, as well. Swimming in healthy, positive energy, the vibes are just right. This Whole Foods bar is particularly big, featuring a sizable outdoor patio and indoor area with plenty of space to accommodate large groups, small groups, and everything in between. So what's wrong? For one, the drinks here are pricey. $9 for a pint of IPA is a little steep for a grocery store bar. Ralph's grocery store bar, located about 2 blocks away, offers 2 beers for $4. That includes IPA too. The plus side of this place over Ralph's, is the large space, and that The Eight Bar has a lot of more beers on tap. Ralph's Cork and Tap bar only has 5-6. Another downfall of this place is that you can't buy your own beer from the market and drink it in the bar area. Whole Foods bar in Pasadena allows it, offering a cheaper alternative than buying $9 pints. This grocery store bar also doesn't have outlets for charging at the bar. The Ralph's bar around the corner does, even with USB inputs at each barstool. If you haven't been, I'd still recommend checking this place out, as it's still fun and worth it for the experience. Just watch your wallet, because this ain't your typical, cheap grocery store bar. I likely won't be back, but I did think it was worthwhile to try. The bartender said they're working on the policy to allow outside beer to be consumed in the area, but downtown LA is a lot stricter when it comes to that, which is why their current policy is in place.

I actually really like The Eight Bar and come here with some regularity. They are a hip trendy spot attached to a Whole Foods. Given that one can park in the underground parking garage and get validated versus fight the street of downtown LA for parking at another restaurant, it makes The Eight Bar very convenient. I love the beer, wine, and cocktail options - hands down, best part of this place. The food is tasty, but the selection is very limited. Service tends to be steady and consistent, although, I've had a few bartenders when sitting at the bar who did not check in very often.

First time eating here... I ordered the Kale Caesar salad. The server was nice, however, when the salad came out it had no croutons, when I asked about them I was informed that they "ran out of croutons." A Caesar salad is only a few ingredients... I just don't understand why they thought it was ok not to tell me before bringing the salad out. The server said she went to find croutons in the store to no avail. The salad itself tasted good, the cheese (which I got on the side) tastes like flavorless wax. It had to be the cheapest version of "cheese" available. I got a refund and went to Sweetgreens.

I wish I had checked Yelp before I went here! I had no idea that there was a vegan burger here!!! I just quickly picked something off of the menu. Next time, I am definitely going to try it out next time. This place was between a three and a four. I bumped the review up because they did offer vegan options. This place is a small joint connected to Whole Foods. It's a cute restaurant that has a communal seating area. It is a good place to go with friends or a very casual meet up. They do have some TVs on playing sports. I wouldn't say it is necessarily a sports bar, but you can catch the game with your friends here. I ordered the avocado toast, which was about $8. They had the option to make the avocado toast vegan, which was nice that I didn't have to ask them to change the ingredients. The avocado toast came in about 20 minutes. It was decent. Overall, this place is a good casual spot.

Love this casual spot to grab a drink/snack! Super convenient because it's located right beside Whole Foods so I can get my grocery shopping done too. They have a great beer selection and their food has surpassed my expectations. My absolute favorite item on the menu is their dry rubbed chicken wings. They always come out hot, fresh and crispy, perfectly salt and peppered. About 12 smaller wings and drums, which makes me happy because I usually don't love those giant chicken wings. They also serve brunch! My boyfriend had the Angeleno bowl with hash browns, pulled pork, poached eggs. Flavors were good but wish the hash browns weren't on the bottom because they got soggy. I had the fried chicken sandwich, which had a good kick. Overall I think it's a decent sandwich but I don't know if I'd order it again. They have 4-5 TVs at the bar and more mounted throughout so it's a great spot to catch games as well!

This little bar is attached to the DTLA Whole Foods. I've always walked by it and never actually thought to give it a try, but one day I ordered their brunch bowl because I was growing tired of the Whole Foods hot bar. For about the same price, you get something that tastes MUCH MUCH better! They also have Taco Tuesdays and an amazing happy hour menu so I'll have to keep coming back!

This place is great for lunch or for drinks after work. Their tacos on Tuesdays are also delicious. Today I had the salad with chicken and beets and I have to say it was on point. The chicken was well seasoned and moist and the salad was a mix of bright colors and textures. It was perfectly dressed, too. It wasn't super quick, though. I think I waited 15-20 minutes. If friends buy something from Whole Foods they can bring it over and you can all eat together, which is a plus. In the evenings they often have a DJ, too.

I didn't expect such a low rating for this place! This place is a perfect place to grab a drink mid day (I won't tell). Reasonably priced food and drinks. I had no problems with staff. Garlic fries are bomb here! And you get free 90 minutes parking in dtla! They have specials for oysters on one of the weekdays. I would definitely visit again.

Came today to have a couple drinks before slutwalk. We didn't even know Whole foods had a bar in it! I had a Tru vanilla vodka with a stevia cola. Rose our bartender rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!! She makes some good strong drinks, and the price was right too! I had a great buzz going. We went to slutwalk, then came back here for food. I wasn't impressed with the Angeleno bowl. The pork was overcooked, and the rest of the bowl was bland. Luckily they had some cirracha sauce. Jaison the manager came over and checked on us, he was a sweetie too! This is definitely a cool spot for drinks with your friends, Not sure I would eat here again, but may try something else next time. In a good location, and nice outdoor patio to eat at as well. Rating 5 stars for Rose and her service, not the food!

The entire staff at the DTLA Whole Foods Eight Bar was extremely attentive and accommodating when our Fair Trade LA organization organized a Happy Hour here for the World Fair Trade Day celebration. With over 30 of us in attendance, what was normally supposed to be an order at the bar and get a number experience, was actually personalized with awesome table service and a personalized Fair Trade drink menu to enhance everything else that was great about having our event here. Some of the exceptional food items ordered were: 1. A vibrant beet dip with pita chips 2. Two variations of nachos: traditional and tempura cauliflower 3. Seasoned chicken wings 4. And yummy flatbreads too. Signature drinks included: 1. A Fair Trade LA cocktail: Featuring FAIRSpirits Quinoa Vodka, distilled with Fair Trade Certified seasonal ingredients. 2. And I enjoyed a refreshing glass of "Live-a-Little" Fair Trade Rose. I love this Whole Foods locale, and this bustling bar adds to another reason why! Highly recommened!

Lots of good deals everyday! Oyster specials on Mondays, $2 Taco Tuesdays, etc. Right now they're doing a thing with a brewery for $6 pints and $10 4 choice beer flights from a selection of 6 different beers from that brewery. The Session Ale and Pale Ale are my picks. Reviewing brunch this time. They apparently have a new brunch menu and it is BOMB. I got the Eggs Benedict. The cashier/bartender said this was his favorite brunch menu item and I can see why!! You get 2, each which are made with a perfectly poached egg and delicious hollandaise on top of a mini pretzel bun. The meal also comes with some stalks of asparagus wrapped with prosciutto. The Eggs Benedict were AMAZING. I love the use of the pretzel buns in place of English muffins. That's what sold me on getting it! I wish the asparagus was cooked more as it was still kind of hard and the ends were really, really chewy.

It's easy to forget you're in a supermarket after spending time at The Eight Bar; a bar within a supermarket. This place is another reason to love Whole Foods DTLA. Great deals, comfortable seating, good beer, and a revolving menu is part of the reason this place is always packed. This may (seriously) be the liveliest bar on a Tuesday night (or nearly every weeknight) in downtown LA.

The Eight Bar is a cute small bar adjacent to the Whole Foods in downtown. The bar has a music theme with great decor. Plenty of places to sit and meet up with friends for a drink. They have daily specials as well. I went on a Thursday and got the Burger and Brew for $13. The burger was delicious and it came with fries too! Their Taco Tuesday looks excellent but have yet to try it. Cocktails: They offer yummy cocktails. A few of my favorites are the Moscow Mule, the Paloma and their sangria is so refreshing. Food: They have plenty of yummy food with something for everyone from nachos to sushi.

I feel like I was the only one ordering the creme brulee on the menu here. Who knew that a regular ol' vanilla creme brulee topped with candied ginger would be amazing. However, the last couple times I've been here it's been unforgivably bad. One time, it took 15 minutes to get our order and the brulee was straight up frozen when I went to eat it back at the office. The second time, it took 25 minutes and the top wasn't even burnt. Sure it looked like it was torched, but when I got back to my office and it was like I was eating custard topped with ginger. No torched crunchy sugar topping to be found. I will give them stars for the friendly service and the fact that you get to keep the ramekin the creme brulee comes in. Our office has a fat stack of about 10 of them. That's how much we all liked this thing... but I just can't handle the long wait and then the disappointment eating it afterwards.

Very good location. Beer and alcohol selection is very nice. Parking is good as there is a lot connected to Whole Foods. Nice vibe, good music. However...the bar staff is MISERABLE. Not sure why they work there. It's palpable the hatred they have for their jobs. Bartenders will not make eye contact, will not serve drinks unless a patron flags them down, and they look so sad at all times. It's like they have been kidnapped and forced to work there. It's strange because it's a nice location but the staff seem so unhappy. It's a downer. I WOULD NOT reccomend this bar based on the bad service. Not worth the misery of this company.

Grabbed a quick bite with my friend and it was just awful. First off the outdoor seating on the patio was full and indoors the Dj music was so loud we decided to find a seat on one of the street tables. I went inside to ask the security guard if they check those tables and he said YES. Well 20 minutes went by and no food so I went to ask again and he said YES. 5 minutes later a server comes and says "we've been looking everywhere for u guys, we normally don't check for restaurant guests at these tables". She sets down our cold fries and cold wings and our ridiculous SRIRACHA CHICHARRONES. The fries were probably good if they were at least warm, the wings are most definitely frozen, and the chicharrones are pretty much exactly like those $2 pork rind bags u can purchase at the market with some SRIRACHA mayo sauce. I guess you throw the word sriracha in front of something and u can charge whatever u want. Not impressed at all. I recommend you buy some pre made food from wholefoods and eat at the tables. Don't waste your time with this ridiculous food (this place outta be ashamed).

Easy to park in DTLA, and shop @ Whole Foods Market before/after drinking here. Workers are friendly and informing me many advices of drink from 30 selections of draft & full bar hard liquors as well, ambiance is very contemporary fitting to all. Fish & chips - Crispy outside & juicy inside! IPA - I tried all & very good Old fashioned - By the bartender recommendation & perfect Thank you, and best!

Have been coming here since you opened, love it. What a great slice of LA you see here on every visit, never know what is going to happen. This makes it like no other up tempo bar around, totally unpredictable. Great revolving beer selection, great food (especially the cauliflower nachos), great service (amazing, because of what I wrote above. Patience Patience Patience the necessity here). Now the bad thing that has been BUGGING me since I've been coming here. That I've noticed it and it bugs, someone? employee, manager customer, has had to notice it. So why has it not been fixed? What is it you may ask? The blown speaker near the chorus sign. This has been blown for years. Come on, pony up some of the dough you make and splurge on a new speaker, please. That sound is so annoying, and it ruins all of those great 80's songs you play. Who wants to hear "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls on a horrible blown out speaker, when you've been hearing it perfectly clear for 35 years. Thanks for listening.

We only had one beer at this spot. happy Hour was already over, so we forked up about 7 bucks for an average brew. You order at the register and they have a small menu. It was good for one beer and some people watching. The people are the Whole Foods types, so if you like that crowd, get their for Happy Hour and better deals.

I don't see the appeal in this bar. Other than it's in Whole Foods and you can grab the hot bar before you grab a drink! I instead chose to get a burger from the bar with a tequila sprite. Came out to $24 which is about right for DTLA. Not a long wait at all. The burger had these weird pickled onions on it that had SO MUCH liquid my entire burger was soaked. The bun would not hold up against them. Soggy burgers are not good IMO. The fries were good, nothing spectacular about them. My drink was tequila with water, not sprite, so I had difficulty drinking it (I need the sweetness). Probably won't be coming back.

I love some of the employees here and the drink specials are great. For example Mondays are wings and brew for 10. And you get like 10 wings and a full pint. Deals!!! My issue is though that sometimes there are issues with the food and lately their system is down so you can't tip on credit cards. I don't think it is okay that bartenders are getting paid minimum wage and taxed on tips that they aren't getting. Amazon needs to fix this asap and also give a raise to Gizella (sp?) Because she is amazing.

I was disappointed this time coming here. I usually come with my mom because we really like the potato hash and lox brunch dish. However this time we both got it and it was not only cold the potato hash but also was bland. Usually it wasn't like this. But now we don't think we will come back here because it's not consistent and our favorite dish isn't good anymore.

Fking terrible service, always consistently shitty. Two Mexican chicks always working the bars have sucked for years. Always misplacing orders, lack of interest or care. No wonder why they're stuck working a shit job like this. Ordered two brunch bowls: 1. It shouldn't take 10 min to figure out how to put in an order. 2. The couple who ordered a fking fried chicken sandwich rcved their orders well in advance. Fking fried chicken versus cooking bacon..?? Really? 3. Didn't check up, give us updated just ignored. When we asked about order don't need the sass, just do ur fucking job and drop the horse shit attitude. 4. Didn't even bring out the bowls, just waived and looked my way till I noticed and pointed it was ready. Meanwhile ur dropping off drinks and dishes to everyone else around. This has happened so many times, I've lived in dtla for 3 years and been here since it's opened and service here has always fuckkng sucked. But I guess I shouldn't have high expectations for a restaurant/bar tucked inside a grocery store.

The food is good nothing special, especially for the price. I would suggest going when they have Taco Tuesday or Beer and Brew on Wednesday. It's a great place to try their many beers on tap and watch any sporting game. I gave 3 stars because the food could be better.

Other than the corporatization of your local pub I cant help but like this place. Theres a lot right about it. I wish the bar staff were more attentive and they'd close the curtains so we don't have to share space with the ten items or less check-out in Whole Food. Otherwise 5 stars.

I think the new menu is really good. The disappointing thing is the corporate decision to circumventing the new vaccine mandate by only offering patio service. That's going to deny the workers income, especially tips from guests at the bar, because the patio is so much smaller than the interior. What poor corporate decision-making. Guess I'll be hanging out for safe happy hours this fall and winter elsewhere.

Okay, I know what you are thinking - a bar inside Whole Foods - can't get more SodAsOpA than that, but it's actually a pretty cool place! They have a nice beer selection, a full bar and, perhaps MOST importantly, $5 poutine for happy hour weekdays 5-6:30 that is the bombskies. It can be loud and just as pretentious as you might think a Whole Foods bar might be during certain times of the day, but I love it here when it's early and casual. They have happy hour food specials (no discounts on beer, though) and you can most definitely bring in from the grocery store if you are not keen on their bar food menu. While the poutine is the business, some of the other things I tried were not so great - the happy hour nachos - gross - no cheese, just cold spicy sauce, the burger was just meh. The cauliflower nachos, however, were fantastic. I can't speak to the cocktails or wine, I have been getting my favorite beer on tap here (which is a rare one) the past few months. A worthwhile stop that smells less like a dive bar than nearby Golden Gopher...for better or worse.

I never knew I would like a bar inside a grocery store this much but I totally do. I love how this bar even exists inside Whole Foods. It's a great addition to the plethora of bars in DTLA. And I see absolutely nothing wrong with grabbing some drinks while you grocery shop. :) The bar is adjacent to the check out lanes and you can grab a drink, order some food, and even munch on food you get from Whole Foods (hot bar & pizza & Chego rice bowls-- hell yeah!!!). The best part about this bar is definitely their beer selection. SO MANY beers on tap! They are constantly rotating out beers and they've had all the Ballast Point beers I love (pineapple sculpin, watermelon dorado, grapefruit sculpin). Check out the taphunter app to see what beers are on rotation here! To be honest, I would rather drink here than eat. Or better yet, grab food from Whole Foods pre-made food aisle and just grab a drink here. I've tried a few items on the menu here and it's mediocre at best. Trust me. Only thing I will be willing to order again would be their French fries..

I recently discovered this bar inside wholefoods while running errands around town. The first time I was in they had a good happy hour which i loved. The fact that the bar is connected to the store is awesome, cool to buy food at the store and drop in for a drink at the bar. Second timw here I was excited to introduce my friends to this new spot! We arrived cheery to the bar only to come across bad and boring service. The chubby girl with the bandana behind the bar was not welcoming at all!! I am all about good service, especially when having lunch at the bar tops. At every request we had we were almost afraid to bother the bartender. The food was bleh... Probably would have tasted better if the service was better. The only time i will return here will be if i have no other option, luckily these days there is so much more to discover in dtla.
