The Fountain Bar

"After nearly getting t-boned twice in the parking garage by a minivan with an Arizona license plate, it’s helpful to remember that this tiny outdoor bar is the shortest walk to alcohol. Fountain Bar serves a few fancy bar snacks, but you’re not at The Grove to eat $70 worth of salmon carpaccio. You’re at The Grove because your relatives  like watching fountains and piped-in Michael Bublé happen at the same time. And that’s exactly when this bar’s giant spritzes and well-made martinis come in handy." - brant cox

"The Fountain Bar has long been a refuge for disgruntled retail workers or anyone who has been dragged to The Grove against their will. But this small outdoor bar is one of the most Christmas-y spots you could drink at in Los Angeles, and there’s not a single strand of tinsel in sight. It’s simply positioned smack dab in front of the Grove’s gargantuan Christmas tree, which means you can simultaneously drink a martini, listen to Christmas hits, and kill time as your significant other enters the trenches (a.k.a. the Nordstrom shoe section)." - sylvio martins
