Harvard & Stone

Jackson. Is. The. Son. Of. God.My girl played a show the last night this bar was open before Christmas, and believed her very coveted guitar strap was stolen after she announced from the stage its massive importance in her life. The day after Christmas my partner and I showed up, and we were changed on an alchemical-DNA level because of Jackson's Christ-like consciousness. This sorcerer of good tidings wrapped us in his arms, upon a swift return from the green room, and DESTROYED us with his Titanic levels of valour, majesty and resplendent beauty.Anyway, he found her guitar strap. You should come here every Sunday night and tip him like five thousand dollars.This man deserves it, and he should not have to earn it.So shines a good deed in a weary world

Honestly, this would have been a 2.5 star review a decade ago. Harvard and Stone was once a pretentious, groupie venue with rude doormen and a moronic dress code, which didn't match its overall grunge-vibe.Nevertheless, it seems 2024 Harvard and Stone now allows folks (men) to come inside in shorts if they please, which is refreshing for those hot summer days. That aside, it's a fun spot that caters to aspiring, indie musicians, their fans, and general music aficionados. I went to see my friend Gregg Garvey play, and I had a blast. The bartender has a strong pouring-hand, which is very much appreciated from a light-weight like myself who only needs one drink to be set for the night.Glad Harvard and Stone is still around now that it's loosened its absurd dress code and hired friendlier staff. I'll gladly go back any given night to see a band play.

Came here on a Saturday night.Vibes were different - I was transported back to the 90s. Some kid was literally accessories with a VHS tapes and off my own doing, I asked him what it was as if I didn't. Good some Long Island Ice teas, some of the priciest I've had ($20 each) for mediocre. We left right before the band came on. Had an enjoyable time but not really my vibe

Came on a Thurs night. Loved the bands! Chill vibe. Chill crowd. Ernest Hemingway bar vibes. Service was good. Tip: This is in Thai Town. Eat at one of the Thai restaurants. They're open late.

Fun place for live music. I was unimpressed with stage lighting. Great drink prices and service tho.

Solid bar. On Wednesdays they have free live music; Thursday's I believe there's a cover - not sure about the other nights. They have nonalcoholic beer: Heiny0. I really liked the band I saw last Wednesday and will be back the next Wednesday I'm bored! Street parking in Thai town isn't too bad. Dispensary across the street if you're not drinking like me :)

Let me start by saying ALL bartenders, and overall vibe of this bar are amazing. Great venue... BUT as far as upkeep.... It feels like the owners don't give a sh**. Men's bathroom hasn't been fixed in almost 3 weeks,they have a tap system that's been broken for forever... Sad since there's so many great artists and DJ'S that would love to perform here. Hope upper management gets their act together. 5-stars to Chris and Adam for running top notch service despite the set backs

Good place for chill vibes drinks n pool. Everyone was friendly so far. I don't think I really need to post so many words but yelp is making me. As if a photo isn't enough. No food.Shitty Hollywood parking if u come too late.Great ambiance.Decent bartenders.Friendly door guy. Fun tournament host on Wednesday nights.Restrooms really do bring out the "powder room" way of saying it.

Adam was incredibly kind, my experience here was top notch. Live music is top tier. Please come here and tip your bartenders well!

Harvard & Stone is one of those classic LA edgy, grunge bars where the live music and energy is always equally entertaining. I've been coming here for several years and recently celebrated my 30th birthday here with about 25 people. The bar manager Adam was punctual with response time, flexible and really wonderful to work with. I booked the balcony about a month in advance where there is a private pool table that overlooks the entire bar and main stage. It was epic. I've been coming to this bar for several years and always meet artistic folks.
