This bar on the corner of 11th and Hope Downtown is the ideal pit stop and meeting point before an event at Crypto Arena, LA Live, or Microsoft Theater. Drinks are strong, service is quick, and there are sliders on the menu if you need them. While there is seating inside, it’s nice to claim a high-top on the corner patio and feel like an urban city person for a couple of rounds before walking over to the game or show. From the moment you close out your check, you’ll be at the gates of Crypto Arena in eight minutes flat.
