Blue Collar: Reviews & Ratings
If you're into inventive bespoke cocktails, this is the place for you. You give them a type of liquor and a general vibe or flavor profile, and they'll flesh out the drink from there. They have every liqueur, syrup, juice, or bitters you could possibly fathom — and even some you can't — so every drink has something unique. Special shoutout to Troy for mixing some of the best drinks I've ever tasted. Ambience is nice too — a small, intimate bar with top-tier classic rock, pop, and folk staples playing. It's more a place to have quality time with your people than it is to throw your bachelorette party. One thing to be aware of: with tip, you're probably paying 20 per drink, so it's definitely on the pricier side. Absolutely worth it, though.
Great bar. Pity we discovered it so late into our stay.
Emily was a great bar host. Dirty martini was classic, will come back for sure. Cute date spot.
Best cocktail bar in LA, for all the right reasons. Staff are wonderful/charming/skilled/annoyingly good looking. Drinks are off the charts good. Music and atmosphere top notch, i.e. no thumping dance bollocks
What a nice little HIDDEN GEM! This place has a great decor with amazing service! Loved it. ...
Great vibe and experience at the Blue Collar! Troy and Meg were not only engaging bartenders, but great people! Thank you both for the memorable experience! We look forward to seeing you again! - Paul and Darla, and Margie and Jerry
I was walking around my neighborhood and saw this bar across the street. So far, it’s a chill little spot, so I stopped in for a drink. The bartender is chill, front door bouncer was chill, a little loud...but it’s a bar and I’m showing my age.
My favorite cocktail bar in LA to date. No menu, and knowledgeable bartenders who can make classics or if you’re feeling a sense of adventure, can take a single cue (either flavor or spirit) and whip up a bespoke cocktail for you. Solid playlists that don’t overpower conversations, a good mix of bar seating, booths, tables,with a great ambiance to post up whether you’re grabbing a drink alone, bringing a date, or coming with fiends.
