"Lowboy is a dark, wide-open space on Sunset that also happens to be one of the coolest bars in Echo Park (that serves food). Part of Lowboy's cool factor is that there's always something going on here, whether it's a cool DJ set, a live jazz band, or rotating drink specials with fun themes, like this one that's served in a boot. Pre-game Dodger Stadium with good music, a cocktail list that includes some particularly lethal tequila drinks, Jello-O shots, and one banging smashburger smothered in garlic mayo. If you're looking for a slightly more chill cocktail option, there's also Bar Flores upstairs." - sylvio martins, nikko duren
