The Prince

"Open Monday through Saturday from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m., this Koreatown bar is known as a backdrop for iconic TV shows like Mad Men, but is equally famous for its classic cocktails, red-hued room, and Korean fried chicken." - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang

"This old-school watering hole used to be one of Koreatown's best-kept-secrets. These days, however, you'll find the classic establishment is pretty busy on any given evening, after gaining exposure from its regular cameos on Mad Men and The New Girl. The bar is a charming mix of 1920's Tiffany glass, stately British decor and kitschy oil paintings, but the Prince's major appeal comes on a plate in the form of Korean-style fried chicken - it's damn good, maybe the best around. Channel your inner Don Draper and slip into one of The Prince's spacious, ruby red, leather booths, or post up at their horseshoe-shaped bar over a pitcher of Hiite. It's an ideal spot if: you're rolling with a larger group of starved and parched friends at 1:30 am on a Thursday or if you like to a enjoy a stiff cocktail while watching a pianist tickle the keys (is there anything this bar DOESN'T have?) with a rousing interpretations of 'Hotel California' on the baby grand." - The HR Dept

"The Prince tends to pull people in for different reasons. Some are movie buffs eager to see a slice of LA, others are there for stiff, fun cocktails and the late-night hours. And yet more come simply for the fried chicken, a throwback menu item at this Koreatown haunt that can come as wings, full plates, spicy or not, and just about any iteration in between." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff

"This old-school Koreatown haunt is still a great spot for a first date after all these years. It features dim lights, not-too-loud music, classic red booths, full suits of armor, as well as some really great fried chicken and cocktails. Just be aware, parking in the area isn’t the best but there is a lot in the back. The Prince is also a classic Los Angeles filming spot and has been featured in shows including New Girl and Mad Men." - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang

"If you’ve ever owned a television or watched a movie, then you’ve probably seen the inside of The Prince. This Koreatown bar has been in everything from New Girl to Chinatown to Mad Men, but has resisted becoming a money-grubbing tourist trap. Instead, you’ll find a dark basement bar full of red leather booths and good Korean drinking food. Sure, the service is less than attentive and the house cocktails should generally be avoided, but you won’t care when you’re drinking beer, eating fried chicken, and sitting where Don Draper and Joan Holloway sat." - Brant Cox
