Gold Room

THE HUNT THE HUNT is an amazing spot if you’re looking for something unique. Michael, the owner, is super cool and very welcoming. So many beautiful pieces, plus he does upholstery too. A hidden gem!

The African security guard at the front is very unprofessional Individual. He lets pplz cut the line if they know him. He start yelling at me cuz I asked him dude we in line and then he refused to let me in. She start to yell you are banned get out of here.

Good beers, great service and good, clean, no frills space. In fact it's a perfectly square room that's about 50% bar which is a solid ratio because that's where the drinks come from and you're sure to get one shortly after stepping foot inside. It's basic in the perfect way. Other than that, it gets pretty rowdy on weekends and for big games too. Sometimes they blow the AC too hard but that's better than the opposite. And they make up for any flaws with free peanuts.

A divey bar in Echo Park! They have Happy Hour Monday thru Friday from 6 to 9 pm. Pretty dimly lit with good music and bartender service was pretty good and friendly. It's a popular place before a Dodgers game or concert. Wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but if you're in the area bar hopping then it's a good one to add in.

They redid the gold room and ruined it. Trying to class the joint up ended up making it look cheap and tacky. No more shot and beer special, no more peanuts, no more TVs showing baseball, no more charming Mexican lady making tacos, just 7$ beers and expensive cocktails. When we asked about food, they told us Rico's across the street makes great tacos. Ok, can we bring them in (there's no food on the menu)? No, you may not. Sweet, we're going to Rico's and not coming back. The essay on the back of the menu (terribly written, single long paragraph) asks to "give it a chance" which feels a little like they know they've ruined the old gold room and everything you used to love about it. Success, gentrification screws up another charming local watering hole. Bring back the shot as beer specials and the tacos and I'll consider returning. Until then, don't waste your time with the updated gold room.

Had a good time with some friends after work. Price is reasonable and the service is good.

Decent enough happy hour on all drafts. Free peanuts to snap on like a real old school dive...
