| | | | Downtown: Hangin' at The Downtown Standard | | | | | |
The Downtown Standard is the younger cousin of "The Standard", located on the hyper-sexual Sunset Strip. In the beginning, it was a beguiling alternative to the popular scene, but as Downtown rebounded and word spread, the Downtown Standard has become it's own lightning rod. Set high among the skyline, this bar is a stunning venue. As such, it's often closed off for filming. But, when you can plunge in, you'll find yourself ensconced among the Downtown skyline with artistically trimmed hedges, pod-like waterbed chaise lounges, and a small dancefloor. Drinks are pricey, but there is no cover, so consider this a worthwhile trade off. I recommend weeknights to beat the crowds.
I would dress to impress; though don't go overboard cuz you'll look like a suburban sorority sister trying a bit too hard to get in the door. Leave a Comment Theme: People WatchingAddress: 550 S. Flower St. Downtown LAPhone: (213) 892-8080Directions: Metro to 7th and Metro Station

Hank's has character and has characters. It's old and dingy, but friendly and safe. In a city of unfriendly people with attitude, Hank's has none of that. It has downtown workers of blue & white collar, residents of the Hotel Stillwell, newly located loft residents, and a few barflies, all of whom tend to know each other by name and are friendly to travelers and everybody else. Funky old CD jukebox. Michael the bartender is in a class of his own. A good place to watch a game, talk with folks, or chill out from the L.A. fray & traffic. $3 domestic bottled beer iced down in horizontal coolers. $5.50 call drinks, $4.50 well. Only Sutter wine in mini-bottles for $4.50.
Very casual. Theme: Adult SpotAddress: 838 S. Grand Ave. between 8th and 9thPhone: 213-623-7718Directions: Lower Downtown ("South Park") in the Hotel Stillwell a few blocks from Staples Center. Park in the lot south of the hotel for $4 or on the street meters but watch out for parking citations.
