"Ignore the fact that you have to look up R Bar’s password on their socials to get through the door - this Koreatown bar is super-easygoing. Good beer, strong cocktails, and entertainment that ranges from live jam bands to stand-up and trivia. Certain nights are more popular than others (avoid karaoke if you want to find a seat), but otherwise, expect a mostly local crowd full of regulars who are on first-name basis with the bartenders." - brant cox, brett keating
