Seasonal drinks on patio, smashburgers by the bar, dog-friendly




























"As a fan of classic Los Angeles char-grilled patties, I was pleasantly surprised by the Fresh Burger here: a simpler build with American cheese, iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, and shaved onion on a toasted potato bun, plus a swipe of garlic mayonnaise. The flavor instantly took me back to eating Charburgers at the Habit, and it stands up well to takeout, though the best move might be ordering it at the bar and pairing it with a High Life or natural wine and some fries. For context, the better-known Lowburger is a smashed patty slathered in 2000 Island dressing and red pepper jam, but the Fresh Burger’s restraint is the draw." - Eater Staff

"Posted next door to each other along the Echo Park stretch of Sunset Boulevard, Lowboy and Ba,r Flores are two of the area’s most beloved spots. They’re great stops on a bar crawl, but I like to order a smash burger at the Lowboy window and bring it upstairs to Bar Flores for a cocktail on the patio. —Hannah Jackson, fashion writer"

"There may be nothing better than a post-hike burger and beer. After wandering around Elysian Park, Lowboy’s smash burgers, chicken tenders, fries, and more will hit the spot. The neighborhood watering hole also offers six beers on tap, plus bottles including Miller High Life and Coors. If your hike is later in the day, you might even migrate upstairs to Bar Flores afterward for some of the neighborhood’s best cocktails." - Rebecca Roland
"One of our favorite bars in Echo Park has been doing limited seatings for a while now, but if you’re a little nervous about grabbing a burger and a beer inside, fear not: They’ve also got a small enclosed patio on the sidewalk, and they’re cocktails are just as delicious (and deadly strong) outside." - brett keating
"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
