EVERSON ROYCE BAR

Some bars just got it. Everson Royce Bar is one of those bars. Went on a weeknight and despite it being a relatively slow evening, ERB still brought the same energy as your favorite bar on a weekend. The staff was nice, the playlist was fire and the food was so good it makes you reevaluate what is possible under the moniker "bar food".

I tried the grilled chicken thighs, potato taquitos and biscuits and every dish was expertly prepared. The fact that downtown LA is so severely limited for non food truck late night dining options, ERB's kitchen is all the more clutch.

If you are looking for a good time, good food and good vibes ERB is a must

Cocktails are good and the staff is friendly; makes up for the uninteresting atmosphere.

This is a really great place to not only hang out but also impress guests from out of town. It's really welcoming not only with the ambiance but staff really do create stellar energy. Our waitress (pink hair) was super hospitable and accommodating. My husband just moved here from out of town and she really went the extra mile to make him feel at home. I really appreciate her for that. I also never mention the servers but they're also really nice! You have to park on the street but it's totally worth it for good food, drinks, and awesome vibes!

Perfect spot for a group hang! I've celebrated my last 3 birthdays at ERB and my brother has celebrated his last 2 birthdays here too.

Vibe: A lovely patio that's set up in a way that makes it easy for friends to come & go and easily mingle. The music is upbeat and fun -- loud enough to serve as a pleasant backdrop, but quiet enough so you can talk and actually hear the people at your table.

Food & drink: They serve some of LA's finest burgers and the nachos are a crowd-pleaser among my vegetarian friends. The pitchers of the Mateo Street Margarita were delicious!

Staff: They've always been friendly and attentive. They do a great job of checking in at a good pace and ensuring the food & drinks are coming out at the right time and that hot dishes arrive hot.

For big groups: you can reach out to them in advance and order platters of food, dessert, and tanks of their signature drinks. The tanks make it easy for people to pour them into their cups (like they would from a water station) an d refill as needed. And if you need more food or drinks on the spot, they're great at bringing more in a timely fashion.

*This is the most cost-effective, convenient, and fun option I've found in LA for hosting a big group. Their prices -- and quality! -- can't be beat. Plus, they have their own parking lot. Couldn't ask for a better place to host my birthday!

Definitely get the biscuits. They are so good.
I had a frozen Paloma. Amazing
