Lowboy

"From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, Echo Park’s Lowboy offers a grand slam food deal for happy hour. The triple play combination comes with a burger, fries, and any draught beer for $15, canned Tecate is $4, while classic whiskey sours and gimlets are only $8." - Eater Staff

"This straightforward bar on Echo Park's main drag has been crowded since the day it opened, and it remains a great place to meet people—they’ve got fun music, a mellow crowd, and a good drink list. Aside from Lowboy's fantastic cocktail—like the particularly lethal Viva Sandia with vodka, coconut milk, and watermelon—a standout factor here is that they also serve solid drinking food, including a juicy smashburger smothered in red pepper jam and griddled onions." - brant cox

"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

"Echo Park’s Lowboy will be showing the World Series and offering a special blue cheese-topped cheeseburger in honor of the Dodgers. The restaurant will also serve a Sho-time special — an Asahi and a shot of Toki for only $10." - Rebecca Roland

"Lowboy is the kind of drinks and snacks spot that every neighborhood deserves. Its owners made it possible to make good choices with Bar Flores directly upstairs, and Donna’s next door. But while at Lowboy, enjoy a weekday happy hour, a California-style burrito, and more." - Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes
