Where Will You Sip Your Next Happy Hour Cocktail in DTLA? Yes, we said it, the big taboo no-no word, “gather.” Do you remember that thing that people used to do before big bad COVID came along, huffed and puffed, and tried to blow our dreams down? Anyway, (corny three little pigs analogies aside) longtime Bar Manager Kyle, and cocktail wizard extraordinaire, says of the space, “We want our gathered guests to conversate and socialize, and not merely feast. The food here is excellent, and the bar is blossoming with a range of eclectic and uncommon spirits, in particular Whisky.”
Hill Street Bar and Restaurant offers so much more than just your everyday average pub experience. Affixed to the long-standing Kawada Hotel, on the corner of Hill Street and West 2nd, at the end of the long tunnel, is where you can find this sundry gem of perfect imperfection. This classic watering hole is an oasis right in the middle of downtown, where all the denizens of the Angel city come to soothe away their troubles and woes.
Hill Street Bar and Restaurant is a traditional public house that honors the historical heritage of Downtown LA’s 20thcentury opulent grandeur by keeping things simple, elegant, and refined. Atmospherically, Hill Street Bar and Restaurant is at once warmly nostalgic and classically casual with a subtle hint of sophisticated modernity. The attending staff of professionals are courteous and demonstrate a dedication to craft service on par with any fine dining experience in LA. First and foremost, Hill Street Bar and Restaurant is a community space that is welcoming to all and provides a chic venue for people to gather and celebrate the good times.
