Frolic Room

Loved this dive bar! In fact, I think it's my favorite dive bar yet.  What's great is its central location next to the Pantages and right across the W Hotel/Drais ...AND the subway station! i was really surprised that its drinks were so cheap for its location in Hollywood.  Plus, now I know I can totally get a drink in to relax before seeing a show at the Pantages or going into Avalon which is just about 2 blocks away, saving tons of money instead of buying my drinks in there~!

I usually feel like dive bars can be a bit creepy but I felt so comfortable and even made some friends at the counter! The Zombie drink we had was stiff and our bartender was awesome! There's also a jukebox that charges a buck per song but there is something for everyone's taste...including EDM! Though I didn't choose any tracks, the music playing all night were classic, ranging from Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, to Stevie Wonder.  I was totally sold.  I'm definitely coming back again.

Frolic's Day of Shame

The King is gone
The wise men too
What is left you may ask
The place with no mind control
Publicly, they shame the others
And look foolish doing it
In a bar out of control
In a desert without witnesses and light
The cries for help never answered
The place without human justice

The old man stood outside waiting for a friend, got assaulted twice in an hour on June 13th, the day of shame, caught by Pantages' cameras for anyone to see. With broken glasses and the phone on the ground, he stood there astonished, nose bleeding. The old barmaid stood outside, watching, smoking, smiling. When asked to call the cops and the owner she said, "We don't care what happens outside the bar." Her barback used the famous Frolic line, "I don't want to be involved." On June 13, nobody cared.

My boyfriend and I wanted to find a place to pregame before heading out to Create Nightclub.  This place certainly hit the spot.  Stiff drinks at affordable prices.  Much better than that weak overpriced stuff they call drinks at the club.  i will definitely be coming back here!
