R Bar: A Divey Lounge with Craft Cocktails & Delicious Food in K-town Los Angeles

Love that it is a woman owned bar (so I've heard). Their drinks are pretty strong. I've only been here a few times but it is always full of people here, good ambiance.

What can I say about my local? Fine craft cocktails? Check! Awesome ambience? Check! Exceptional staff? Check, checkity check-check! Now for the food. Indulge in their mac & cheese and treat yo self by adding jalapeno and bacon. Or go a little lighter and get their California salad. Got time? Get the chicken wings. This place is the best! Five stars

They have trivia, karaoke, good drinks, awesome staff and a lot of seating....what's not to like? But truly, finding parking is a bitch, so please keep that in mind before your night out - but also - you shouldn't be drinking and driving anyway kid! Great divey bar but without that gruff overly masculine bullshit. This is a great spot to hang out and eat and drink with cool people. No notes.

Great drinks, great FOOD, and great service. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Fantastic karaoke on a regular basis. R Bar is a place that believes in *specializing* in the standards--they don't try to scare people off with obscure cocktails or snootiness. This is just a great neighborhood bar. Street parking can be found on Ardmore Ave.

The perfect bar to wind-down. Nestled in the heart of K-town, R bar is definitely a go to. Though Uber is highly recommended, unless you live in the area, you may try your luck searching for parking. Monday's is HH all day! Was tended by a friendly bartender, and Monday night crowd was chill. This is a perfect place for a first date, date night or just a night out with friends. Outside looking in the establishment looks deceitfully small, but once inside there is plenty of seating.

Ambiance- looks like R bar has been a long-time neighborhood establishment. Though looks can be deceiving, the feel is authentic. R bar IS my neighborhood spot now that I've moved a few blocks away. I come here once or twice a month for food, drinks and ambience. My family likes it. My colleagues like it. My friends dig it. It has an old 1800s pirate feel. Karaoke- brass monkey used to be THE place to go for karaoke! I still love that place! But now my family and friends prefer R bar karaoke because it isn't nearly as crowded! You actually get your chance to sing! The k host never demands a tip to have your turn at rocking out to your favorite tune! The patrons are friendly and supportive. Not everyone is there to sing. Folks are chilling, eating, socializing. And applauding or singing along with you. Food- my coworkers appreciate the mix of vegetarian options along with everything else on the menu. It's a bar. The menu isn't big. But it's impressive for a bar. The food is much better than other bars. Veggie and chicken quesadillas. Pulled pork sandwich. Chicken bacon club. Rosemary fries. Juicy onion rings. And I've come back twice for the tasty chicken bacon salad! Yeah. A delicious, filling salad. At a bar. Nearly epic! Drinks- excellent margaritas, mules, and old fashions. $9 beers on draught. $8 Pacifico can. But better deals at happy hour, which is 5-7pm! The weekly specials are great! And the bartenders truly craft their own cocktail specials!

Amazing neighborhood bar with karaoke, trivia, great food, delish drinks, and the best people ever! (It seems I'm obviously biased, but I'm also very serious) Brunch Karaoke Bottomless mimosas Trivia Amazing cocktails Good vibes!

I tried R Bar earlier this year with a friend, and I could see the appeal: a casual spot with a dive bar vibe (and bonus: they offer a trivia night if that's your thing). We met there during an early evening, and it was not very busy. There was ample seating including booths, and ordering was very easy. Though this place is not swanky, cocktail prices are about what you expect in the Los Angeles area and are cheaper than what you would find in a more upscale bar. They also offer a food menu, and I though the onion rings were not overly breaded and had a good crispy texture. I thought R Bar was a great spot to catch up with a friend in a chill environment, and I could see myself going back to try their trivia night in the future.
