High Tide

Nice looking bar! Fabulous and trendy.I came in pretty early on a Saturday. I noticed a lot of bars don't open til 6/7pm in DTLA. This location is very close to the Arts District. Lots of dancing space inside and out. They have a cute Photo Op in the front with a big heart.Because I it was so early in the day, 4pm, no one else was there. So I ending up just chatting with the bartender, Brandon. He was very nice and personable. He knew a lot about the area which I thought was very nice. Definitely a great spot to hang and enjoy the vibes. $21 for a margarita (Don Julio)

After having decided we needed to change up from beer to something else, my brother in law wanted a tiki vibe and High Tide came up. After we drove past we thought it was closed if it wasn't for the door guy. We had a dog and a kiddo with us and so the big question mark was if they were cool with both. The door guy was cool to go and ask; he knew dogs were but wasn't sure about the kid. Fortunately, it was quiet enough-it was early afternoon so there wasn't much going on.I could definitely see this place being a club type spot when the sun goes down but in the afternoon it was a nice quiet spot to sit and relax. We were outside but the bartender came out to give us menus but let us know that we would have to go in to order-not a big deal. Our visit the Frose machine was down but neither of us was interested in that. The kitchen wasn't available either but that was fine too.However, their cocktail selection didn't have anything whiskey based so I went with a beer. My BiL went with a one of their soju based cocktails. It was a nice chill place-can't comment on what it's like at night but it's definitely a place I would bring your friends with kids for a nice relaxing day drink.

Such a cute lil bar nested in such a shady location in downtown! I came for an event and there was plenty of free street parking (it was after meter hours) but all the open spots were next to homeless people, tents, broken glass, and frightening sights. But hey, free parking is free parking. I got a frozen lemonade (alcohol free) because I was driving. Their cocktails normally are around $14-20 depending on what you get. The bar itself is very cute with lots of neon lights, a photo booth, indoor and outdoor seating. It's a cute vibe for large gatherings. The frozen lemonade was TART - they didn't skimp on the lemons or sugar at all (or what ever syrup they used). Service is super friendly, they have restrooms, no wifi, water is available to whoever wants it (pour it yourself).

Found this place through a facebook ad on eventbrite, promoting a 2000 hiphop/R&B themed night.....and although the place surrounding the establishment can be sketchy (its located along Little Tokyo) but upon going in, the party was a blast (they're doing Jamaican nights before the actual theme I came for). It was a WILD night....best night of my whole vacay in L.A. before going home on the next day. Can't wait to come back to this place again (if they're doing the 2000 hiphop/R&B themed night again).

I was attracted to make a mid-day stop here for a drink on a Saturday based on the photos but when we arrived, it was nearly empty. We walked here from Little Tokyo which I would necessarily recommend as you're passing by rows of homeless areas and various feces (literally). There not too much else around the area except another venue across the street.The decor was lush green surrounding the area to help you forget you're in the the city. The seats and tables and walls are a little worn that could use a little update. You have to order inside and then can sit in the patio. There have wind sprinklers on top to cool you off, but all I kept thinking was that water getting in my drink. I ordered the 'Hibiscus El Diablo' and it wasn't for me. I usually love ginger beer drinks but I didn't like it with the agave wine. I got a sense this is more of a night spot, but unfortunately not for me.

High Tide was not what I pictured. It's right up against Skid Row so don't come thinking that it's part of the Arts District. The patio looked so cute with the pink tropical vibes but it seemed a bit run down. They currently only offer wine, beer and Soju cocktails. They serve food but we were just here for the drinks! We did really enjoy the drinks but it was one and done for us because there was nothing that really compelled us to stay past that. We went with a Frose and a Malibu Colada. They were both refreshing for a hot day and I thought the Malibu Colada was really unique. Perhaps it would be worth coming back when they have an event going on.

Brandon B. bring back the coconut shrimp! I'm looking forward to the event on 6/30. Let's talk parking. [email protected].

Come by for a cocktail..they will be fully open in a few weeks!! They had their 3 year anniversary soft opening tonight--after being closed during quarantine, they're finally coming back!! New additions include a remodeled outdoor space which includes a new outdoor bar, restrooms, food window... and of course the planty haven inspired by one of the co-owners' passion for plants! I love the vibe here.. from the outdoor space, to the stage and live music, and art gallery (which is currently filled with plants). Highly recommend checking out this spot for their lovely decor, awesome crowd and delicious flamingo inspired drinks!

First I want to say I was excited to try this bar, I had very high expectations knowing that I was pulled in by good reviews and cool photos. I came here knowing that the place does look nice inside and out. Now I rarely give out less than 4 stars. I am being nice rating 3 stars knowing that perhaps this Friday night was a situation that happened to be different than how it really is. Me and my friends came here strictly for cocktails and to enjoy the atmosphere. I can not speak for food as we did not order food.I was upset, knowing I got a poured premade margarita and espresso martini. I did not see those drinks get shaken at all. Not sure if the bartender was happy to be there but there were good amount of staff if the night got busy. I was really hoping to have a salt rim on my margarita at least. I kinda cried inside knowing that this can't be true. I will try again but I was disappointed first time there. :/

no food, drink service was good, hella great vibes. definitely a fun place to bring friends.
