(YELP)sabrina b.- Los Angeles, CA- 4.0 star rating- Blah blah dive bar blah. Yeah, Guns n Roses used to hang out here. Yes, a lot of the bartenders look like they're time travelers from 1989. The drinks are strong, fairly cheap, and you can get awesome food at Canter's. It's wandering distance to the Silent Theater. But more importantly, wizards hang out here. Not just any wizard, but dudes with long white hair in sequined vests and crushed-velvet Sergeant Pepper jackets, hitting on aging Tawney Kitten wannabes, while the ghost of my eighth grade goth self from 1995 rocks out to some horrible Red Hot Chili Peppers cover band. There is no other place in L.A where you can get this unique sampling of people. On any given night, Elijah Wood, three hipsters, two elderly war vets, a former groupie, and a pregnant woman in a fishnet shirt might all be hanging out at the bar. If you're any kind of artist, this is a fantastic place to observe the human condition.
