The Golden Drop

has the best time at this bar during our stay in dtla! the bartenders were fantastic, the music was great, the drinks were tasty and strong, and the overall vibe was immaculate ✨️ loved that there was a mix of locals and tourists. will definitely come back! (100% worth having my drink spilled on me accidentally lmao)

Iconic bar in DTLA! This place is as cool as it is old. If you’re in DTLA go have a drink at this spot. The bartenders are super friendly, grab a seat a the bar and have a nice chat with them or they have a nice atrium seating area. This is the only bar in DTLA that you can buy liquor to go. No food, but the day we were there, two food trucks were set up out front. Definitely get the Dickel with the Pickleback. This sounds strange, but it is fantastic!

I went in with my best friend and her brother to celebrate my best friends birthday. All was well until we decided to play pool. We were almost done with our game when some man child decided to start yelling at us saying we were done playing and that we needed to let them play. Mind you prior to us playing the pool was empty for hours. Suddenly this manchild and his friend started getting aggressive with us and the "security" guard came and instead of letting us finish our game he decides to take the ball. Prior to this we had ordered drinks and the bartender did not serve us. Again we ordered drinks when we were playing pool and nothing. This bar is definitely hostile and play the favorites game. I was not expecting this type of childish behavior from a bartender/security but alas I digress. Definitely do not recommend this bar.

I would’ve given more stars, but honestly, I was surprised — the shot glasses at the bar are tiny, maybe 20 ml at best! Are you serious? I ordered a shot and got what felt like half a normal pour. Other than that, the place is decent — nice vibe, music, and service. But those “shots” are just not it. Hope you reconsider, because guests definitely notice.

Don the bartender is the worst, she was rude and offensive to me the whole night, and a possible RACIST. I asked for a glass of wine, the guy (white guy) next to me old fashion, she continues by making his drink which takes longer first, then mine. She continues being rude the rest of the night, when I brought it up to her, she gets me thrown out saying I was cussing at the bartenders and causing trouble. She apparently has a bad reputation of this behavior. Avoid her at all cost, SHE'S THE WORST!
