Frolic Room

An icon treasure spot in Hollywood. Also a perfect place for drinks before or after a show (next door to the Pantages) or just a hangout joint with friends. Great strong drinks with decent prices. Great bartenders, I'm sure they did upgraded but it still has that old vintage decor vide. Definitely a must checkout if you are in the area for some good drinks before hitting the town.

Ruben made us feel very welcome at the bar. He mad some killer drinks. There isn't any food served here. Atmosphere is very Hollywood busy and loud. It's just a typical bar feeling. It's perfect for before a show at the Pantages. Prices are reasonable for Hollywood. Thanks guys.

I stopped by here to pass some time before the Wicked show at the Pantages Theatre. The interior is filled with photos and memorabilia that give it a nostalgic charm. I ordered a Jack and Coke, and to my surprise, it was quite strong--not that I'm complaining, since they're often on the weaker side. The bartender was friendly and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of.

The Frolic Room is a dive bar that is a must visit if you're in Hollywood for a show! It's no nonsense, limited seating, but with great drinks and vibes regardless of the time of day. The bartenders serve customers swiftly and we've never been disappointed by what's given to us, and the prices can't be beat. My go to is a Jameson & Coke. Love the Frolic Room!

The Frolic Room has been a cocktail bar in Hollywood since 1941. They have cocktails, mixed drinks, draft beer, and bottled beer. They also have a juke box. It is a famous dive bar and a visit is a must if in Hollywood. it is just fun. They have really nice bouncers outside, one at a time is all they need. They change people a lot or I just go on days when the regular guys have a day off. There is really no need anyway, I have never seen a problem there. They are not going to overserve you, getting just plastered there is not what you are going to do. If you do drink there, know the drinks are strong, so think about that before you get in a car. You can get and Uber or whatever with ease.Going with friends is super fun. The bartenders are great and make fantastic drinks. They know how to make anything. They are also nice to the designated driver--I am often the one.It is clean and safe. It is located right next to the Hollywood Pantages theater. It is small but it has the coolest neon sign that you will be able to see.Parking can be a bear on the street, mind the many signs. There is parking just about a half block away in what is called Eastwood Parking, or something like that.Hollywood burger is right across the street if you want a fast bite.I love this place. I wish I had a chance to go more.

I walked in dying of thirst! All I wanted was a beer before the concert I was going to. The bar was halfway filled and the bartender seemed to have an attitude as soon as I walked in. He asked me to move seats bc there were 5 drinks in a row at the bar, nobody was outside or in the restroom so I guess this is a reservation only dive bar? Weird af. Then the other seats had dirty glasses in front of them that he made no effort to clear even though he wasn't making any drinks. Also, the bouncer didn't even look at my ID. Let me go tell all the 19 year old girls where to go since this guy doesn't care! I've never seen this before. Not worth my time, I won't be back.

Was in desperate need for an alcoholic drink. We were originally at the strip club across the street but they were dry. We saw this place while walking by and decided to grab quick drinks. This is a typical hole in a wall. Ironically, they were playing a lot of reggae music. This place gives me of a rock n roll vibe. The bartender was quick enough. It served its purpose.

This place is basically if Cheers sense of humor was a bit more playfully wicked. I had heard of this place based on a podcast. It lived up to the hype. I stopped by for one drink to kill some time and mark it off my list, and was immediately greeted by one of the friendlier bartenders I've ever encountered. While this isn't a craft cocktail place, I had an amazing vodka drink and was treated to a Fernet shot by an extremely entertaining, affable, and engaging regular. Next time I go back to LA, I will be back here. What a cool place.

Worst bouncers ever for such an iconic bar. I was trying to get in on a casual afternoon and the bouncer took five minutes to even check my ID because he was telling some guy outside how if some other guys girlfriend showed up he was going to "smash her face in the pavement and then make her suck my .......". Shorter guy, Hispanic. Then he lets that guy in an turns to me and my girlfriend all smug as if to make sure we heard him say that. Disgusting.

The ONLY old school bar still left in LA!!!! Best bartenders ever!The most incredible juke box in town. Cheers!
