R Bar

This place is a joke. Over priced and dark. Parking??? What parking?! Too loud and the bartenders are snobby and will make fun of you to your face, if not behind your back. Its dirty too. I saw a bug crawling around on the floor and told the manager... She said I was full of shit and "my kind" wasnt welcome there if I was gonna start shit like that. Bitch please!

This bar is pretentious and has no authority to be.

First, I don't really like hipster bars, but I've been to enough of them to say that they're not even doing that great of a job at trying to be one.  

Second, the password thing doesn't even really bother me, but maybe that is because I already knew it before I came here, but I would be pretty upset if I was trying to have a night out and they wouldn't let me in because of the password.

The cocktails are over priced, its extremely dark, and crowded and even though its "themed" theres only a few decorations up.  By the yelp reviews, I thought it would be all out like some of the hipster bars I've been too in Silverlake (i.e. if you like hipster or themed bars try Silverlake over this place)

But what bothered me the most was how rude the bartenders were.  I asked my boyfriend to get me a Tom Collins, which if you didn't know was initially a drink made of lemon juice or lemonade with gin, over the years people started making it with vodka, so if you order one the bartender will typically ask what kind of Collins you want.  Therefore, I asked my boyfriend to get me a Collins with gin.  When he requested this to the bartender, she laughed in his face and said duh what other kind is there (well obviously she hasn't been a bartender for very long).  As if that wasn't rude enough, I went up to get another drink later and I overheard her making fun of my boyfriend to a customer, laughing about how he asked for a Gin Collins.  I was furious and ran back to my boyfriend to inform him that she was making fun of him.  He went up and confronted her about it and she got very red in the face and gave him a free shot.

I appreciated that she gave him a free shot, but really how trashy are you if you make fun of a customer to another customer for something that wasn't even worthy of making fun of.  I am a K-town resident, and I like how close R Bar is but I can't ever see myself returning to a place where I feel I am going to be judged/made fun of for ordering a drink.

This is by far the sweetest gem in LA. It's that place that mixes a great staff with great prices and cocktails with an amazing space that sometimes includes live music, or karoake, or a movie drinking game night... Seriously, every night offers something great. I love coming here... Good job, guys...
