Drinks in Los Feliz

A lounge on Vermont that has kept its 1950s fittings and books live players five nights a week. Marty and Elayne held the residency here for nearly forty years until Marty Roberts died in January 2022, and the music kept going. The bar is long and you can sit at it without ordering dinner.

Wednesday and Thursday 5pm to midnight, Friday and Saturday 5pm to 1am, Sunday 5pm to 10pm, closed Monday and Tuesday

Ray Buhen, a Filipino immigrant who tended bar at Don the Beachcomber, opened this twelve-seat bar in 1961 in what had been his father-in-law's violin repair shop. His son and grandson, both named Mike, are the only two people who work there. It is closed more days than it is open.

Wednesday to Saturday evenings. Posted closing times vary between midnight and 2am, so check before you count on it
